Last week J and I went camping in Pine Lake Provincial Park - just south of Saskatoon. We got to the campsite and found all of my mom's family there - my aunts, uncles, cousins. What a surprise ;)
The weather was perfect for the first day - a balmy afternoon, and a warm but comfortable evening, perfect for tenting. The second day was rainy, so we hid out in the shelter and played games, then split up: the museum for those interested - and the movies for us and some of the cousins. Hooray, Harry Potter! We wandered around downtown saskatoon and found a fabulous little bistro with a green floor. I have no idea what it was called, but the food was great - you should definitely check it out!
Maria tagged along with us back home in the car, no easy feat in a civic with three people plus camping gear. She's staying here the week, and we've been having a fabulous time: watching movies, playing games, doing a spot of cooking (we invented a marvelous pasta sauce to eat with our spaghetti squash), and reading. Hooray for sisters!
And this weekend Erika and Chuck will be here - good times!

Stuff
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.
