Alright, here we go. ………….On the advice of a certain runnergirl, I have decided to give this blogging thing a try. If nothing else it will help me pass time at work when I am slow and they say writing is therapeutic.
Since we are in the midst of a vicious cold snap, I think that just another day on the frozen tundra is fitting. I really don’t know why I live in this climate. I hate everything about winter. Except one thing, hockey, but now you can build a rink anywhere.
I blame my grandfather, who came to Canada from Ireland and starting farming in the late 1800’s. Why didn’t he go south or go to Austrailia like so many other Irish. He chose Canada. Don’t get me wrong I am a very proud Canadian, but if I was an American citizen I would move somewhere warm tomorrow. I could never understand Americans living in the north and being subjected to these horrible winter conditions, for staying. When for them it is a simple car ride south. I guess some people are scared of change, I need change.
Anyway, life is what you make it. I am currently looking in emmigrating to Queensland Austrailia, so we’ll see how that turns out. Being snowed in for 6 months of the year is a waste of time and time is precious. I am lucky to be in a profession that is in high demand everywhere so employment will not be a problem.
I also love Asia and my father lives in the Philippines, so being that much closer is a bonus.
I don’t want to turn this into a whinning blog, so I stop now.
Treadmills suck. Running along the beach. Priceless..
Treadmill’s do suck, I miss running along the beach! We only have 4-5 months of good weather for that here, I agree… why do us Americans live north? Insanity!
Anyway, I’m glad to have inspired you to blog… you will find it very therapeutic after awhile.
Hey, welcome to the blog world!
You’ll like it here, I’m sure.
Queensland is lovely, except they have no water. And it’s humid as buggery.
Your name makes me snigger like Mutley…
Welcome to the blog world! I did the same as you. Someone told me to just write my feelings out in a blog so I did. It does help. You are right is is very therapeutic and like i’ve said before It does no harm to anyone else. And people here that I have met have wonderful advice! And they aren’t bias to me because they do not know me. They tell me how it is. HOpe you enjoy it!
Ya I am a bit surprised. I thought I was going to get attacked by scorned women who have been on the other end of this. The comments have been amazing and have really helped. I guess people realize and can relate to my situation and know that it not a malisious act on my part. Just something that happened. I didn’t choose it.
