Bad Blogger

no, this is a WordPress site.   I mean me. I’m a bad blogger. I’ve been vastly neglectful of both this blog and my writer alter ego blog. But I’ve just sorta lost the inspiration to blog… mostly because I don’t really have anything really interesting to blog about.

There’s just not that much you can say about, well, got up, worked one job. Took a break, worked another job, watched tv, and uh, went to bed. Woo-frickin’-hoo.

Tho, there has been some interesting news in my world. One of my sisters got engaged last week, as did Roxy, an author I work with, which is pretty cool. Of course, you’ll notice *I* didn’t. I swear, I’m gonna be 50 years old, saying, yeah, T & I will get around to it one day… This is why two giant procrastinators should never date.

We actually took a day trip across the border to Niagara Falls last week. Crossing into the US, they actually took away my keys, and searched the back of my car (it’s a hatchback, so the doors were unlocked…) Not sure what they were going to find that they couldn’t have seen through the window, but the only thing there was my spare tire, so whatever.

We did a little shopping, but I wasn’t really up for the intensive, I need a new wardrobe shopping I usually do cross border. There’s not much need for fashion when you spend your days in your shleppies. Although we did get a kick out of the salesclerk who started yelling at us about how expensive Canada is and that I was lying about the exchange rate. (Cuz, you know, I *didn’t* check it on three bank websites before I left :eyeroll:) In the grand scheme of things, the two countries sort of balance each other out. Some things, I’ve found the prices in the US are ridiculously more expensive than here, but then others, we’re higher priced. And, once you factor in the exchange rate, there’s not much difference. But I will admit I’ve found a lot better clothing deals down south. I did, however, manage not to return what I bought from the nasty salesclerk as a statement on her attitude, but only because T was so completely in love with his new birthday boots.

We also won a free dinner at a local restaurant, but we were both really not impressed with our meals… the food was really bad. I don’t know what it is about my neighbourhood, but we have the worst time finding good places to eat. I’ve been thinking about moving because I’m sick of dealing with my incompetent property manager and psycho neighbours, but really, we just want to live somewhere you can get a decent meal and a Saganaki that is flambed in a quality Ouzo. (mmmm. fried cheese.)
