Climbing the wall and a few albums

Although I have been continually prodding MC to get some posts together, my computer monopolizing ways are shining through. Hopefully some of her insightful remarks and observations will be coming shortly. To keep you entertained in the meantime her is a video of some fun we had while out visiting our brothers out in Montreal a couple weekends back.



We also have some new pictures added to our photo site. Check 'em out!

Winner of funniest video on Wednesday

I forget exactly how I came across this video, but it was Wednesday's winner for the funniest video. Apparently there are some pretty funny things that happen on the shopping channel. I've seen it over ten times in the last two days and still laugh.


I love the "Look at that horse" quote. He even has some slight dramatic pause.

Exudation

I thought I made a new word today - exudation. I was using it to express my education and experience for a job posting. I figured that the potential employer may not recognize my wittiness and changed the one word to three. Exudation is a word, just not how I used it:

the process of exuding; the slow escape of liquids from blood vessels through pores or breaks in the cell membranes

I will add my definition to a dictionary in due course.

Made it back to Ottawa

Wow, it's been a long time since we posted! I figured we should let everyone know that we've made it back to the centre of Canadian politics - that's right Ottawa. We've uploaded a picture album of our return but haven't done much online for a few weeks (expect signing up for facebook - I'm still intrigued by it...that may fade though). Marie-Claude has been in full schmooze mode with getting a new job with the government. Everything looks like it's set on that front - she'll most likely be starting next week at a new job. I'll let her elaborate.

In the meantime we have been catching up with many friends, staying with some (thank you Andrew and Kate!) and finding an apartment. We just moved into a flat a couple weeks ago in our old hood. It's even with our old landlord....strange. It's not as nice as the flat we had with him before, but it'll do. MC and I are thinking of house hunting in the not-so-distant future so this is good for us. I've also been testing out the IT job market here in Ottawa. I've seen some good opportunity so I'm pretty hopeful. I hope to pick something up soon so I don't have to be the stay-at-home cat sitter. Henri is demanding.

So, here are some plans for the future for this blog:
- it will be renamed again (hey it has to, we are back in the O-T-T-A-W-A hood)
- I will be pushing MC to start blogging again. What can I say, she has had critical acclaim for her insightful stories and blog entries.
- We'll be keeping it real as can be, but interesting - basically that means don't expect a post every day. Maybe every week. Even that's a stretch. Hey, we're busy people, what do you say we see how it goes. Quality requires a little time. Add us to your 'weekly website peruses'.
