Things that are made of squee:

  • Canada Geese! We saw the first flock flying overhead today!!!!

    WELCOME BAAAACK!!

  • Walking outside without five layers of clothing. It's 5.5°C (42°F) and we walked home with jackets open. Wheeeee!

  • Drove our new car yesterday, finally, all by mineself! It's like driving a shuttlecraft and that's disconcerting as hell because damnit, cars should have keys, not "on" buttons, but it's so shiny and clean and new! And it's the very first new car we have ever bought. We're really grownups now.

  • [livejournal.com profile] ninja_kat Jr. Words spoken as the door closed behind him last time he was here: "OK, is it me, or does that kid just get cuter every time?"

  • Our brand new Mac. I'm typing this entry using it.

  • Brand new dress, just bought the other day. First dress I've bought myself in... damn, can't remember the last time I went shopping for clothes. Couple years ago? Possibly around Christmas of 2006, when I got a gift certificate for Christmas.

  • Kids who tell me, "Mama, you look so pretty!" when I try on said dress :) :)

Can I just say - brrr! Y'all say Canada's not a vast frozen wasteland, but then celebrate what, down here in the South, is bitterly cold weather from the depths of winter nights.

For example, today it was chilly here - it barely went over 21°C.

Wow!

New Mac - oh, which one which one? Welcome to the Cult :-D
(if I may recommend, get David Pogue's Switching to the Mac. Honestly, lifesaving book ::g::)

And a new ride? What kind???

I've seen two robins so far, which surprises me more than the geese. When I spotted the first one, I exclaimed to Michael "Look! The first robin of late winter!"

What new car did you get? A hybrid from the sounds of the on button? That's what we want for our next car.

Hi CJ

We haven't seen any geese here yet, in Quebec City. Where are you in the country? Oh, and great name btw. Does John Varley know? *wink*

Welcome to the Mac brigade.
