Dear Guy Who Runs the Magazine Stand:

Thank you for being able to discuss Canadian politics with me. It's always wonderful to be able to debunk the 'ignorant american' stereotype.

The Girl Who Bought A Copy of Maisonneuve

Dear Adorable Tattooed Bleached Blonde Guy Who Was Working At The French Bun Stand,

God, run away with me.

The Girl Who Regrets Having Breakfast Before She Left

Dear Folk at Stillonovich Corner Market Produce,

I love you. You're always helpful, you don't sell me crap vegetables just to offload them, you're willing to do all the running around the stall for me, you'll pack my backpack for me in such a way that nothing gets crushed, you're always friendly, never condescending, you have great prices and the best produce in the market. I don't even look at other fruit and veggie vendors any more.

The Girl With The List

Proof that all you need in life is moxie:

We have two cats, Velvet (a small outspoken cat) and Silk (a large mellow fraidy cat). They are brother and sister and get along mostly well. Silk is about twice Velvet's size.

When I went to the spice shop today I noticed that they had handmade catnip toys for sale. I bought one, figuring they'd share. (I am occasionally plagued with bouts of severe optimism.)

Got home, tossed it over the breakfast bar into the living room, put away the groceries. By the time I was done that, the cats had located the toy. Velvet proceeded to guard it with insane near feline-maternal jealousy, swatting Silk away from it, for about ten minutes.

(And of course, to prove me wrong, she just walked away and decided it was food time.)

Today's adventure: I'm going to engineer some cookies in the hopes of finding something good enough to submit to The Spice is Right III: The Perfumed Garden. And possibly unpack some of the few remaining boxes. (Yeah, we still have boxes. I suck. :-P)

Edit: Also, I think I'm only missing CDs from shahazarad and tsita at this point, although the mail hasn't come in today yet, so that could change.

You should print out the letter to the market place and send or take it to them. *nodnod*


And don't feel bad.. we still have boxes too. They got moved to storage for the time being.

I think I will. :-)
Most of our boxes are things like knicknacks - I have to buy shelves for them - or spare blankets/curtains - need to buy some kind of underbed boxes or something. Our new place has much less storage for that kind of thing than the old one did.
