    Oh where, oh where is little Miss Laura

    Plain and simple explanation. My computer died. I have no laptop. All we have is John’s 1999 special that is REALLY slow and attached to the tv to watch our downloaded stuff.  It’s actually paining me right now to be sitting on the floor with no back support and have a keyboard on my lap and mouse on the floor. And the best part of it all is that I am typing and the computer is like 3 words behind. So I don’t get to see my typos until I’m way ahead. Talk about annoying.  At least I’m almost perfect and rarely make mistakes. haha just kidding But in all…

    Heads up

    My site may be going down sometime tomorrow. It should only be temporary though so no worries. My domain is expiring and the links they are sending me to renew it aren’t working. I think I got around it tonight but I’m not sure. My fingers are crossed. But if you try to come sometime and suddenly everything is gone/not loading…no worries…it’s kind of expected and will fix itself.

    2 other “quirks”

    Listen to how Albertans pronounce the words “t-o-u-r-i-s-t” and “b-o-o-g-e-r”. I’ve noticed both at work and I had the chance to poll some people at John’s office the other way. And lo and behold they say at least one of the words the weird, Albertan way. It seems only people at my work say “t-o-u-r-i-s-t” differently. But they say it like “two-rist”.  And they say us East Coasters are weird. 😉 Now the other one really almost bothers me/makes me laugh. Is “b-o-o-g-e-r”.  They say “BOO-ger”. Like “boo! I’m a ghost”. So strange. And everyone I’ve talked to and polled says it like that. Weirdos! 😉

    Back from NS

    So my whirlwind trip to NS is over. I’m back to the usual grindstone. But there is a difference. I feel refreshed. But talk to me after the end of the week, maybe I’ll be back to exhausted and stressed. lol I wish I could have stayed longer but it was not in the cards but I basically got to do everything I wanted and see all the people I wanted to see so it was all good in the hood. It was just quick visits (for the most part). But I noticed more differences than I thought. When people asked the differences from there to here I couldn’t explain…

    You can take the bluenoser out of NS

    but you can’t take the Nova Scotia out of the Bluenoser. That is so true. But at the moment this Bluenoser is back in Nova Scotia. And it’s pretty sweet. Funniest part of it all…the Arctic Airmass came with. The news is complaining about this cold air that is also known as an “Alberta Clipper” or Saskatchewan Slammer. But it kind of fits. Once upon a time I was blamed for bringing snow to New Brunswick and now this time the Clipper came with me. After I left in July I took the sun and heat with me and the weather became BEAUUUUTIFUL in the Hat and crap here in…
