Canadia Land (An Update)

Canon EOS 400D / everyday life  Posted by / 8 comments

My days here have been great. This is what I look like while I wait for Tom to come home.
(Only usually by the time he comes home the bed is made, I swear.)

 
This was the exact model I was looking at purchasing half a year ago (only in red), but I thought maybe I was being a bit ridiculous. I’ve now come to realize that I’d rather save up a little bit longer and have this washer and dryer set from LG than the crappy washer and dryer combo I had back in Michigan. I’m spoiled now, yes, I realize this. I don’t have to bend over and all such craziness. And the compartments at the bottom of the washer are nice too.


Speaking of spoiled. Simple pleasures, friends. Simple pleasures.


WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MILK? I guess here they have them in bags. It’s a lot more efficient space wise, and you just fill up your pitcher when you want more. I think it’s funny that Tom is a bit lactose intolerant, and so he can only have Skim milk. I used to be an avid 2% drinker, but since my heart condition, I cut back to Skim. Another reason why we are perfect for each other. (Are you gagging yet?)


 

Tom’s dad cooking us some delicious supper. SUUUUPPPPERRR. That’s supper, not super. Well, I guess it could be super too. SUUUPPPPPERRR SUUUPPPPPPPPERRR. (That’s Super Supper!)

Perhaps I’ll do a video tour soon! What do you guys think? I’m a bit grumpy about my YouTube situation, which is why I haven’t made videos in a while. (SimplyStardust is taken. Along with Simply Sara. So I either have to find a new one or continue to use ChasingTwilight. DECISIONS, decisions.) You may think I’m being a bit dramatic (and maybe I am) but I really like having everything match.

Anyway, I’d love to show you guys around- and really what I want to share is how much of my life I brought with me. Or rather how much I left behind. (I’m so proud of myself.) I have two loads of laundry (like I always wanted- FOR YEARS), I got rid of almost all my shoes, I left behind ALL MY JOURNALS except the one I’m currently working on, all my photos, and brought a few books, games, and my movie case. Oh, and I forgot to bring my hair dryer and curling iron- but remembered my bubbles? (I think I was stressed.) My journals and photographs are in tubs to be stored back in Michigan. Which I plan on going back for at some point.

Anyway, as Tom says, “I’m a minimalist at heart”, and I feel really good to finally have my life reflecting that.
