it goes putt putt
byWe’re going to the fireworks tonight [hsbc]. Laura’s stirred up enough hoohah about her ‘secret spot’ [604] we’re gonna go check it out and see just how kickass it is.
Of course I told her she’ll need to supply us with plenty of treats (of the ice cream variety) – but maybe we’ll let that slide.
Today at work was pretty uneventful. I called my mom and sister on my walk home – they’re up at Cultus Lake [lake] for a few days with the kids. I haven’t seen Jen since she left for Wales, yeesh! I seriously need some quality sister time this weekend.
In other news, my mom scored us free tickets to a Canadian’s game [audihertz.net] so I’ve booked a day off work and we’re all set. I’m not taking ANY vacation time off this summer so we’re making the best of things until we can go ALL OUT in the fall/winter and get the heck outta here for a couple weeks.
*cough* All depends on when the government wants to approve my hubby’s permanent residency application *cough* *nudge* *wink*
Edit: We’re home from the fireworks – it’s 10:45pm – wow that was painless… now let’s just see if the noise keeps us up….

Zanstorm (a buddy of mine and regular commentor at Van Can Op Ed) is going through the same permanant residency thing with his wife. Dang, they sure don’t make it very easy for honest folks to become residents. You’d think a country that prides itself on immigration would have a more efficient system. That’s government beaurocracy for ya, I guess.
Anyways, the link to his site is http://www.hockey-madness.blogspot.com ; I hate the thought of sending him extra traffic (heh!), but he’s got a good thing going on over there.
cool! thanks for the heads up 🙂
yeah the process is definately nerve racking, expensive and i swear i’ve already had 3 heart attacks. we’re hoping something will come through in the next couple of weeks then it’s dual-income time – yeah! :p
