blog? what's that?
No, I'm not too distracted with the stupid TV to blog. I don't even have a TV. I don't have an internet connection either, which is why you should refrain from hating me just yet if I owe you email. I've been running around like a maniac. I found an apartment and a couch and a chair and a crib and health insurance and a social insurance number and and and... All I do is make phone calls and run around. I'm beat.
Here are a couple recent (re)discoveries that have brightened my dreary days of administrative bull and looking at crappy apartments:
1. Canadian Tire Money.
2. I love my new apartment and my landlords.
3. The leaves on the tree outside my house are starting to turn and it's sooooo pretty!
4. Cream soda.
Comments are hopefully working. My blog guru says that she thinks my blog might have just "burped" and that it should be ok.
Gotta run to pay for my couch.

Kate - I'm glad you've gotten there safely, that you're managing to get all set up! Your apartment looks amazing (oh all that fabulous closet space - I HATE YOU! hehe).

Hi Kate. So glad you've landed. Say hello to Hubbo's Uncle Jack and Aunt Lois--they've lived in Montreal all their lives.

I followed your link from Knitty.com. I love that pattern for the bunnies. They are so cute! Are they done on double pointed needles?

I thought you had been swallowed by the Metro or something. Glad to see you are doing well. The fall in Montreal is beautiful. Well, fall everywhere in Canada is pretty nice.
Hee hee - Canadian Tire Money - The guy with the hat is our king, dontcha know. I'm saving mine up for a big spending spree. Well, really, it's just so I can torture the teenaged cashiers as they count it, but it's just so much fun to use Canadian Tire money.
Now, did you get a bagel yet?

More please :)
You take care of yourself and your little growing one, because I for one will always be here to read, whenever that will be!

What on earth is Canadian Tire Money??

I hear you. Even my *little* move to LA (the big one with Moxie and the animals is yet to come) has been a distraction. Yikes. Good luck and can't wait for your return!

I hope you can find some time to take a little rest on that newly paid-for couch! Good to get things done. ; )

Yay, glad to see it is working. Maybe it just had a bad day.
I think you should go eat some poutine. Because, I dunno, french canadians eat that. I had some once in an A&W fast food joint in Vancouver and I thought it was good, so I figure in the proper frenchy region it should be even better!

glad to see you're back.

Hope you are settling in well!

Cou cou! Just checking if I'm getting through now. If I am: Don't stress over blogging. You got important stuff to deal with. Like, life in a new country. And yes, they sure do talk funny there.

Good luck running all those errands. I hope you're having fun growing your baby!

Oh I'm so glad to see you posted! I was a bit worried about you but I figured it was just something like you explained.
Fall foliage is so great, isn't it? By far my favorite season of the year! Enjoy it :)

Finally! So glad you're back.

Oh Happy Happy! Just remember to take time to breath in between all the running about :) Glad you are doing well though!

Yeay! You are back! Bonne installation au Quebec Kate, here is my chance to tell you that I have enjoyed reading your blog while in France, so I am sure I'll enjoy it now that you are in Quebec! Bonne chance pour la fin de l'installation :)
