Post? I don't understand what you mean.

Hello all. I can't believe how long it's been since I posted anything, but all my so-called "spare" time goes into the new house.

We still haven't quite moved in. We are in the enviable position of being able to carry both the townhouse and the new house for a couple of months, so we took advantage to do some stuff. Like put down gorgeous new hardwood in the bedrooms. Like paint practically every wall in the place, with all the prep that entails. Like thoroughly deep clean the walls, bathrooms and remaining carpet.

The house is finally ready for us, but we're not quite ready for it. This weekend is Hillside (local Guelph folk music festival) and Derek is therefore gone all weekend, and a family reunion for me. We get internet and cable on Monday and phone on Wednesday, so we'll be over there most of the time after this weekend, but the "real" move (all the big stuff we can't fit in our cars) will be Civic. What I wouldn't give for a pickup truck right now!

I will be hosting my first event at the new place next Thursday - Book Club (or as D calls it, Snack Club). I'm very excited to show off the new place to all my girlfriends.

And as a "save the date" head's up - everyone is invited for a BBQ, Pool Party, "hang and chill" gathering on Aug 8 through 10. Most of the people will be by on the 9th (Saturday) but feel free to come for supper on 8/8/08 (8 is a lucky number in Chinese culture and Derek is very excited about celebrating it).

Can't wait to catch up with all of you soon!

Good luck on the rest of the move!

Thanks for the wishes. We've got internet and cable now, which makes us feel much more at home. Now we just need to get the rest of our stuff over here.
