THE weekend

On friday morning I woke up thinking I was going to be moving most of my stuff into my parent's house for storage and the other bit into Shannon's house. Her parent's had said I could stay there until I found somewhere else to live. So my dad came home from work early and we moved all of the stuff I was storing up to my parent's house.

Just before supper I was over at my parent's and Luke (my brother) called. Him and his friends had found a townhouse quite a while ago but they sent the application in late so they didn't find out till friday afternoon - when Luke called - that they were declined. So Luke didn't have a place to live. He called our landlords to see if they had rented our current suite out. They had - the papers had just been signed three hours previous. Great!!! But our landlord did know that the place right next door had a suite available. Luke talked to them and asked if he could have it. They said yes but they couldn't bring the papers down for him to sign until late that night. Luke called his friends and asked if one of them wanted to move into this new suite with him. They couldn't make up their mind so he asked me. After making sure he wouldn't just bail on me in a month or two I said yes. I called Shannon's house and told them what had happened.

Saturday morning my brother phoned (I had slept at my parent's house) and said that the papers were signed and we could move in today. Talk about last minute. So my dad, Luke, and I had to get everything out of storage from my parent's house and bring it back down to our new place. It was a long day.

I like the new place better though (except that the living room is smaller and it is colder). We have a washer and a dryer here and we also get satellite TV!!!! The flooring is nicer and we have a storage room. The whole layout of the place is better. With all this you'd think the rent would be more....nope....it's actually a bit less.

So for the first half of the weekend I had no idea where I was actually going to move or how things would work out. It turned out really well though so I'm happy!

Now for something completely different. I was setting out a new bar of soap in the bathroom this afternoon. It was a blue bar with a yellow duck head on it. Really cute!!! Well....when I took the wrapping off the beak the eyes came with it....it was just painted onto the wrapping. What a rip off!!! Now I have a really funny looking bar of soap in my bathroom :)
