Weekend number two and we go shopping again. Friday night afterwork before going out with G’s friends, we go and buy the Tempur-pedic mattress at a shop across the street at the mall. Decent deal: No tax, two free pillows and free delivery. We can’t wait to get the new bed! But we must. Today, [...]

I was home alone on Friday so I was responsible for putting on more coats of the sample colours. We came to three conclusions: 1. One of the colours which need a tinted primer so annoying to work with since it’s so transparent. 2. The regular paint is heavenly since you paint it on and [...]

Read Episode 1 first… I’m about to look up the colours in the US to try to find my missing colour. G turns to me after winning his game and says: “Hey, I thought you were painting?!” Me: “I thought you were painting!.” I’m laughing. Me: “I’ll put this in my blog.” G shuts off [...]

So we want to buy some paint to try out to make sure we like the colours before the major commitment since we’re not painting the place white or off white. First we look at Home Depot and at Ralph Lauren Paints. Very vibrate and nice colour selection. We picked out the colours we liked [...]

Just got the tickets, will be in New York (providing I’m able to clear Homeland Security Screening) Wednesday June 22, Evening to Wednesday June 29, noon.

Blue Stone Bistro I don’t have much of a list but here’s my Toronto list: 1. Mistura 2. Scaramouche 3. Le Montmartre (This is where we were [...]

We valiantly braved intense heat, 40º humid-ex in shorts and tanks and head shopping on Saturday. The two stores we went to in North York was a let down. Blvd Interiors had nothing we wanted. And while we found a bed of interest at De Boers, any place with a no photography policy immediately goes [...]

I get the call yesterday from the moving company that my truck has arrived and they gave me my total move cost. I’m happy to report that the lady who did the phone interview with me to do the estimate was really good. She was pretty much dead on with the number of boxes estimate [...]

So, I’m reading the list of You know you’re from New York when and laughing since I get it. Then I go and see if I can identify with the You know you’re from Toronto when and don’t identify with 90% of it. I can’t figure if I should be saddened by this, or happy. [...]

I took this test and my Inner European is French, not surprising? I came pretty close to being Italian…. Your Inner European is French! Smart and sophisticated. You have the best of everything – at least, *you* think so. Who’s Your Inner European?

Cherry Trees at Tidal Basin, Photographers at work. Washington D.C., April 2005 [posted with ecto]

Library I managed to get my library card today and immediately went to raid their Home Decor section. I walked out with a bunch of books on colour, painting, decor tips etc. Hoping I can start reading them and seeing if I can absorb the information quickly and put it into immediate good use in [...]

Under Cherry Trees Washington D.C. Tidal Basin, April 2005
