What's happening in Stinkyland?

Not much if you ask me, but then again somehow it doesn’t quite feel like that. Last week, after almost two years, our AV unit was delivered. Hubby had spotted it when we were shopping for our dinning room set before we moved to the condo. After seeing it, and doing some research on it, because naturally it couldn’t be bought just like that, some “looking into it” and “thinking about it” had to be done, plus our budget was hurting, it was decided we would wait. Inherently, whatever we looked at after was never quite right, as well designed or even comparable. Once the water damages were all done, Hubby decided it was time for us to “complete” our living room and actually order it. Almost twelve weeks later it has been delivered AND it looks as good as we’d hoped and is even more functional than what we’ve hoped.

In other news, our fundraising for “Relay for Life” is going well, especially considering the current economy. In order to raise a little more money, a friend who recently opened a restaurant with her husband, offered to give ten per cent of their sales, if I would organize a group dinner at their place. On May 6th I’ll be doing a fundraising dinner. So far we are nine people – want to join us?

In other news, more renovation will occur at the Paws’. You read correctly, something else needs fixing! I’ve been wondering if we didn’t get a lemon or something when we bought this condo. Granted the builder has been receptive to every letter I’ve sent so far, and will do the repairs, but still, it is very infuriating nonetheless. We just want our home, in one piece, without any work needing to be done… We hate this constant need to redo something and all the works it generally generates afterwards. We’ve had more repairs done here in the last two years, than we’ve had in all fourteen years we’ve had the house. Buying something new does come with headaches, no matter what.

In closing, the weatherman is announcing summer temperature for the weekend. It will be a nice change, if he’s right, which would also be a nice change from the usual, ah!

Don't forget Earth Day - a day to celebrate earth. Go for a walk, do something "green", you'll feel better and it will be good! Every day should be Earth day!
