Project Spectrum - Green

I felt bad for not having an entry for Project Spectrum's April theme - orange (which I do have lots of), so here is my poor entry for the May theme on it's last day. I have resorted to taking pictures in my office. Hopefully I'm stealthy and ninja enough that no one notices.


(5 days left! I am so excited!)

Almost there

...left until we get our new house, finally!

18 Days...

Since Monday, I've been counting down the days until the possession of house. I cannot wait. at. all.

There has been a little hiccup, however.

We got a call on Tuesday letting us know that someone had stolen the boxes of hardwood flooring from our new home and that the builder will not be able to replace the same wood for an excess of 2 months. We know for a fact that the floors were there on Saturday afternoon. We visited the house and the boxes of hardwood were sitting in the middle of the living room. This apparently has been a problem for the builder. Someone has been breaking into the in-progress homes and taking stuff: appliances, furnaces, fixtures, hardwood, etc.

Wednesday we went to the flooring place and got a replacement for the hardwood we orginally had. Although not 100% content, it's pretty close. That's good enough. I was preparing myself for the worst; that my dark wood replacement was to be something like oak or something. Boo. But that wasn't the case. So it's okay.

To the person(s) stealing stuff from people's houses: Shame on you. For shame.

Ho hum.

Has it been 2 weeks since my last posting already? Oops.

I've been finding it hard to post lately as there has been nothing really to post about. I've been working lots, and just got back from Red Deer yesterday for work. I had reached there on Friday and had a busy busy weekend helping with a training/trade show that was put on by our branch.

This marked my first time being away from home by myself. I also checked into a hotel for the first time, ordered room service for the first time, checked out of a hotel for the first time, and took a taxi by myself for the first time. I know. I'm a little deprived.

Hopefully, as time goes by, I'll have a little more to post about. We have received confirmation that our possession date for the new house is June 5. After then, once everything is settled, I should be able to go back to my crafty ways.

But for now, I'll try my best to post. something. anything.
