TRAVEL


<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy -->

I had a rare but great night out with my old roomies Ev and Anita.

We of course talked about relationships. And they had an interesting point.

You see, I've always been told that relationships are a lot of work.

But they said that if a relationship is too much work, it's probably not right.

So, who's right?
Relationships: a lot of work or not?
And what's "too much"?

Holy crap, I hate cold! Our first snow of the season and you'd think I'd never been through it before. I'm a-quiver with bitterness.

No wonder I get fat during the winter: I never want to go outside!

I'm not kidding: if I could huddle inside my apartment for the whole winter, I would totally do it.

I mean, as long as people would bring me decaf lattes from time to time...

Well, apparently I'm not as retarded with my money as I thought!

I finally met with a financial planner tonight. And I seem to be doing OK.

She says that I'm very frugal (thanks Dad!) and I have no debts and have gone in the right direction. Plus, I apparently look young!

So, now I have this money and these sort-of plans for life. And a decision to make about what to do with my money.

Her advice was pretty good - not just the "where to invest" stuff, either.

And next week Alex will be meeting her too, just to go over his situation and see where we stand together.

How cute. Our first couple-venture.

I always find it interesting to check out my site statistics.

I mean, I'm not selling anything, so I don't look at them a huge amount. Don't get me wrong, I really ENJOY seeing the number of people who visit my site. I find it ultimately flattering. I cannot imagine that 500 unique visitors drop by every month. That seems a lot, when I really feel that I haven't been at my best in the past year.

I mean, let's be honest: I'm whiney and not very scandlous lately. So what's the draw? I guess it's gotta be that people just wanna stay up to date on what's happening in my oh-so-exciting life.

I get a lot of people finding my site via ficklefeline.blogspot.com.

And someone found my site by searching "pee her pants" - I couldn't figure that one out. But I went to msn.sympatico.ca and put that in and sure enough, up came my site as the #1 result. How very strange. I must pee my pants a lot. Or talk about others who pee their pants.

Honestly, I think there are people who deserve this honour far more than I do. There are whole websites on the topic that come up below mine, for goddessakes!

But I do get traffic from people who search for "bad toronto movers". YAY! Number 15 in Yahoo! If I can warn one more person off of Logan Movers, I will feel that I've had some justice. Scammers.

~Grr~

It's a beautiful day outside and I can't seem to get myself off the couch.

I am bound to my book. I can't stop turning pages. "Wicked" is a fascinating book.

So the plan to get me outside is the promise of a nice decaf latte where I can settle down and read.

I had a fantastic day yesterday shopping with my brother. He is far and away my favourite person to shop for/with. We started out by going to see a teeny tiny townhouse condo. Cute, but very small - too small even for me. We took a look through some other nearby condo developments before having a nice coffee with Alex and chatting about financial woes. Always a favourite topic in my family.

And then it was shop, shop, shop. By the end of the day, we were tired. I made a lasagne while he watched the Leaf game. I think it might be the first time anyone's watched TV here in my apartment.

We ate the last of the cinnabons that Alex had brought me the night before... Actually, it was very sweet. Alex and I were going to go to the movies and decided to eat in. Alex brought me the best dinner I could imagine: cinnabons and a decaf latte. He loves me.

And we saw "Walk the line," based on the bio of Johnny Cash. Great flick. Seriously, go see it.

All in all, it's been a good weekend. Now, if I could only get myself outside. The decaf latte calls...
