Well, not all. Let's say LOTS of the things.
So, the cold snap is over ... for now. Temperatures outside are finally on the plus side of the thermometer. Yay!
Also, we found a house. Again yay! I am tempted to gush over it, but we haven't signed the lease yet, and we don't have the keys, so I'm feeling a bit superstitious about the whole thing. I'll gush when keys are in hand. Suffice to say that it's a 2 bedroom bungalow built in the 20s. And even though we will be the last tenants before the owner tears it down in favour of building something bigger and brand new, I intend to make sure this little blue house feels lots of love in it's last years :)
I haven't been as careful as I should since I've been here, diet-wise. A house full of gluten is a minefield for me, since everything in my kitchen is safe for me to eat (unless it's DW's bread, which is easy to spot because it's the only white bread). And because I haven't been careful I got one hell of a head cold (crappy immune system, plus -40 weather, plus dry as desert climate). I'm feeling a bit better now, but I hadn't been that sick since before I went gluten free. It sucked. I only hope that I didn't pass it on to the baby.
I've been inspired by the cold and dry to start making my own hand creams and lip balms. If they turn out, I'll put them up for sale on my etsy store. After some thorough product testing, of course. I'll be looking for volunteers as soon as we are moved in, set up and I have my first batch finished ;)
I also dug out my old BOS file from my back-up hard drive. I need to go through it and make something cohesive and useful. Maybe a PDF. I have Acrobat trial for another month or so. We'll see how I go about learning to work with it. It may turn out to be a beloved program like PS.
I also found my old website files. And the files for Wickets. That made me smile. Even though it didn't really work out. I liked working on it, and I learned a lot about BB coding and whatnot. I have been thinking a lot lately about updating my blog from 'school enforced business idea' to something more easy, personal, more me, but had been having trouble coming up with an identity for it. I've been doing a lot of reviving lately, maybe Wickets deserves another incarnation as well.
I have a new computer. It's just a little netbook, but it's portable and lets me surf or get things done while the baby is asleep in my lap. I don't have PS on it because it isn't powerful enough to run it, so I have been making use of Picnik and it's pre-google-absorption special. It's pretty awesome for an online photo editor. I hope that G+ doesn't change too much.
