We've been doing some minor home improvements of late: fixing a leak (which turned out to be 5) in the basement, adding the lovely chandelier (pictured), moving some bathroom mirrors around, buying a bench and BBQ for outside.. just the usual. Now that all the small renovations are out of the way, I'm starting to think of bigger ones. Paint and wallpaper, tiles and such.
In other news, other news... the VZ family reunion is in two weeks (my mom's side of the family) in Saskatoon and we're going to that. I'm really looking forward to a week off - hooray summer vacation! Perhaps we should start planning the trip. You know, how long we stay where, who we visit, how much junk food we eat...
All is normal, nothing too too exciting. Ciao!

Much ado about nothing
We're definitely settling in.
We've had a lot of fun house projects: painting the deck, getting a barbecute and freezer, installing solar garden lights to luminate the sidewalk to the back (side, as Jeremie insists) door, installing a chandelier, moving a mirror, and just generally making the place our own. It's good. I have big fun dreams for my office decorating!
As far as a church goes, I like the one about 2 blocks from our house so far - they're friendly and I like having a church in our community. So we'll see how that pans out - they're still looking for a new pastor, so we'll have to see what he (or she?) is like.
My work is going alright - some days are more fun than others, but isn't that always the way of it? The upsides to working at home: eating from the fridge, reading or watching tv, playing computer games on lunch break. No commute! The downsides: I don't see people all day, and tend to be a bit more chatty when Jeremie comes home. Poor man. Plus everything is just a bit more work.
We're hosting a thing for the people from jeremie's work: ladies get a Mary Kay makeover and photoshoot while the men do manly things in the yard like barbecue and sports of some sort. Here's to hoping it works out well!
Fatigue is setting in, so perhaps I'll blog more another day. And runescape calls.

Reccommended listening
Hanson came out with a new album. And it's good. Now I am a bit biased, seeing that I've always liked their music, but even so it's good. It's got some mellow, got some bouncey-fun tunes, some serious ones. definitely a reccommended listen :)Tuesday, June 19, 2007
Moving to me lovely new home online
Problem: Whenever I try to give someone my email address it's something complicated to spell or scary, be it trippykel or medusa or diorist or medusadesign.
Problem: I have two domains. And don't need two.
Solution: Register a new domain to consolidate them! I know that in the short term this gives me three domains instead of two, but in the long run you can get your me fix at www.boulianne.net
Brilliant? I have no idea.

Dog for a day
I was going to drive up to Sexsmith on Friday, and make a liesurely day of it: stop for lunch, do a bit of siteseeing. But by the time Thursday evening had arrived and my Ikea visit with the Bienerts was done, I was too impatient.
Knowing that I wouldn't be able to sleep (for excitement, not dread) due to moving on Friday and getting to see J again, I decided to just start driving Thursday night and see where I ended up.
Amy and Mom helped me pack the car, I hugged them and Julianna goodbye, and started off on my journey - a 5+-hour drive at 10pm.
The drive was a bit scary - dark, hard to see the road, and I kept seeing all these caution signs with jumping deer and moose on them. They made me tense and watchful, due to which I managed to stay awake until I arrived at 4am (minus a 20 minute nap on the side of the road).
I think Jeremie thought I was an intruder, sneaking into the house at 4am. Oops.
I was planting the front flowerbed on Sunday afternoon when this cute puppy jogged across our lawn, tags jingling and leashless. I called him to me, petted him while I caught his collar, and used some new shoelaces to leash him to our deck. He was a very friendly and incredibly good dog - no barking, no shoe-biting, not too much whining. I whipped him up a dinner of spaghetti noodles and apple chunks (After checking online to see what dogs could eat), and bedded him down in the basement on a soft blanket. The town office called the dog owner, who was very excited and rushed to our place from work to pick him up Monday morning. But he was a great, cute puppy. Too much work for us to have one permanently, but it was nice to have a dog for a day.
