true north strong and me

Following in the excellent footsteps of Sweden and along with other countries such as Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Canada has a curated Twitter account of our very own: @PeopleofCanada.

And for the week of February 4th to 10th, the voice of that Twitter account will be me.

MUAHAHAHAHAH *ahem* I mean, I am excited to bring my own personal Canada to the world at large. Please follow the @PeopleofCanada account (and me, if you’re not already) and see what kind of trouble I can get myself into in the name of patriotism over the next seven days!

Check out the project’s website, and consider applying to be a curator – it can be anyone in or from Canada, and is a completely awesome idea (that we borrowed from Sweden).

This may be the first time I’ve ever been nervous about Twitter.

Also, if you do happen to follow my personal account, sorry about that tweet from Saturday night. Inappropriate dinner theatre was *really* inappropriate (even if it made me laugh a lot).

So, yeah. I’ll see you all next week as the (unofficial) Voice of Canada on Twitter!

Yay!

ottoman watch 2013

Posted in everyday kimli by

In very early January, we ordered (and paid for) an ottoman for our living room. It was supposed to arrive on January 23rd, at which point we would lounge to our heart’s content; pantless and fancy free. It was a good plan.

As I am currently wearing pants and full of fancy, you can tell things have not gone according to plan. As we neared our delivery date, I thought to check the website .. and to my surprise, the delivery date for our item was now February 2nd. A day later, February 3rd.

Then, February 7th and 9th and 13th. Next, February 23rd! And on Friday, we finally breeched March with a delivery date of March 2nd. Today? March 5th! Hooray!

We’ll keep you posted as the situation progresses, but as it stands, we’re expecting the ottoman to arrive at some point in 2015.

Back to you, Martin.
