My friend Teresa sent me a box LOADED with books, chocolates, chocolate soap.. and this: Unicorn Poo It’s pretty awesome though I think my maid will wonder Smells so good..

Also used the tiny Mint Truffle fragrance tester she sent .. I smell fully of a chocolate factory! So awesome!

We went out to get me new glasses today because mine have been broken awhile. The reviews we read for costco’s glasses dept. suggested that they were pretty good.
However, at the one we went to the selection was pretty small, and neither of the 2 employees bothered to ask us if we needed help. They also may OR may not have them ready before I leave in just over a week which sucks because I don’t want to travel with broken glasses. I’m not really happy.

First snow in Toronto of the season, yesterday around 3pm. Didn’t stick at all, but it was pretty

Ken got his passport today.. I’m jealous! There’s a UNICORN on the front cover!! I want one

Thursday morning.. Ken pokes me at around 9:30am to get up because he hears someone in the apartment. I ignore him and tried to get back to sleep. 10 minutes later we both hear very loud whacks and someone cursing “shit, fuck, fuck.. ” repeatedly.. So we get up and put some clothes on and go out into the kitchen. There’s a plumber there working on the kitchen sink. He says “Oh someone is home.” then explained something about jamming the screwdriver into the pipe or something. Lovely way to wake up. I swear I’m putting the deadbolt on from now on. Yay for cold water again though.. don’t use it for much, I wash dishes with the water as hot as it will go. We both went back to sleep after he left.

Halloween morning.. I woke up around 10am and while I was in the bathroom I hear a knocking on our door. Not really awake I decided to just ignore it, then someone walks into the apartment! I crack the bathroom door open a little and say “excuse me!” and they say “sorry, sorry” and leave. Freaked out, I finished up and ran into the bedroom to throw some pants on, and answer the door. It’s the building maintenance man. He’s here to fix our cold water in the kitchen that hasn’t worked in almost a year. We put in a request to fix it soon after it broke too.. yet today is the day to fix it apparently. It couldn’t have been any day in the last two weeks when Ken has been up and dressed with Chris coming over for training. Course not. So I let the guy in, he starts banging around under the sink and quickly discovers that it’s too much for him to deal with and he mentions that the plumber was working in the building on Tuesday and they’d have to reschedule him to come back. So fine, the guy is nice, I see him around the building all the time.. do a cat check, then go back to bed after telling Ken what happened. I had to tell him twice because it didn’t really register the first time He was blinky.

So on to Halloween.. Our apartment building doesn’t let kids go door to door for candy. They go to the lobby and get filled up. The building doesn’t even take candy donations anymore, so we pretty much don’t get anything out of halloween here. Meanwhile, I saw some drop dead adorable pictures of our friends kid who was tigger this year. I don’t know what my niece and nephew were.. hmm.. I’ll have to bug their mom for some pictures. So Halloween sucks here.. I can’t wait to move..

*Future Travel Plans* I always spend 2 weeks in Virginia with my parents and younger brother for Thanksgiving, a week before and the week after. This year, I don’t know if we’re doing an actual dinner or not since it’s just going to be my mom, Gary and I but after Thanksgiving we are all heading to Kiev, Ukraine. My brother got a job offer at a school there to teach english and he wanted us to go with him. We may also take a tour of the city or we may go to Chernobyl. I can remember having to stay inside for a long time when we lived in Germany, because of Chernobyl.
