Well, well.

I know its been a long time since I last blogged. I actually thought I would get it done in the week before I left Canada, but alas, I was too busy cherishing each moment with my most adored matty.

So I guess now I have a lot to catch up on.

Firstly, matt’s granddad died a few weeks back which was pretty sad. He had cancer and went downhill very fast. So I finally got to meet all of his mum’s family. Not exactly under the best circumstances. Though I did witness genius (of course they all thought it was the most obvious and simple of ideas): run outside to get buckets of snow to keep the beer cool in the sink. Who needs to pay for ice!?!

Well, we worked our shitty job for a little while but in the end it was too depressing and we got outta there a week before schedule. It was really nice having that time before I left thought to get everything sorted out and just take it easy. Like go for drives down to the marina in the freezing cold, and slide around on the ice. (yes, I fell and hurt my knees. Ice is a lot harder than snow)

Or our little jaunt to montreal to get matts ipod replaced. Such a beautiful city. I wish we could have had more time there.

Had a last hang out with the boys from the old apartment (I moved in with matt and his parents at the start of march to save some money). That was good fun. I will miss Ty (right). He was my very good friend and confidante, despite his messy grooming habits.

So on Saturday, I had everything packed and matt and I headed off to the airport. His adorable parents waved us off from the front door.

Stupid Ottawa airport makes you go through security as soon as you check in, so I had to quickly say goodbye to matt and take all my bags through US customs and go to my gate right away -2hours before my flight was scheduled. Then it was delayed an hour, so I sat by myself for 3 hours. Luckily I had my new ipod video and I watched all the afro samurai episodes had missed on tv.

So as it turned out all 3 of my flights were delayed at some point, and I got in to Houston at around 10.15.

We went to Austin on Sunday night, but I got some kind of food poisoning that night from pizza on 6^th street, and on Monday it was pouring rain, so we just came back home.

The house I'm staying in is HUGE. Upstairs has a central living space with a foosball table, then 3 bedrooms (one empty), 2 bathrooms and an office (all huge). Downstairs has a pool table room, an empty study, the living room, master bed with en suite, kitchen, toilet, laundry. And then there’s the huge backyard that is completely empty except for a little bbq. Crazy. Oh and the two cats that live here are not well house trained, so theres huge pee stains all over the carpets…… note to self: keep bedroom door closed.

Anyway, time is ticking very slowly as I count down to the blessed reunion. Patricia doesn’t exactly live in Houston (sugar land to be exact) so I cant really wander off on my own to do interesting things while shes working. Oh well. I get to catch up on my blogging instead.
