Wow this week sure went fast. Going back to Oxford House tomorrow afternoon. I spent two days painting my hallway. It goes so much faster when my mom helps me paint. It looks pretty ok. I also bought hardwood today for the upstairs. That will be a "fun" summer project for dad and I. It is nice to get things done to the house. I enjoy being part time and having more time to spend in my house.
I did do stuff other than house renovations. For instance, I went skating twice on the River Trail. For you Ottawa people, the river trail in Winnipeg is a more ghetto form of the Rideau Canal. The picture on the right is the trail. The other one is the Forks. The trail is quite long (at least 3-4 km) but minus multiple huts selling food and bences every where such as on the Canal. The Forks is beside the trail and there is lots of food in there. Sadly no Beaver Tails anymore. Both times I went it was relatively deserted. My legs hurt several days after, skating is a great workout!!
ONE thing I didn't do is buy any clothes. I am quite proud of that. I don't even think I entered a clothing store. Quite impressive.
I DID see the movie Waltown. It didn't tell me to much I didn't already know. Kind of preaching to the converted. People that go to independent films generally don't shop at Walmart. I have less noble reasons for not shopping at Walmart. I just find it too confusing and crowded. Thus I perfer Zellers (plus its closer). I also find Superstore frustrating, too confusing like Walmart. I keep trying to buy my groceries there because I have over $400 in PC Points. But I only end up spending $20. Then I have to go to Sobeys or Price Chopper for real grocery shopping. I'm pathetic. Well thats my story for tonight. I'm sure I will be more faithful once I get up north and enjoying my restful evenings of TV and internet. Oh and Tricia, if you're reading this, post some pictures and give us details!!! I want to know all about Hanoi!!! Enough empty promises already!!

It's hard to upload photos with dial-up ineternet connection. Besides until tonight I've been living with the reps and didn't want to put all my photos on their computer. Have some patience. It's only been a week.
How many freaking details do you want?
Your Winnipeg "canal" looks pretty good. Part of the Rideau Canal is open and maybe all of it will be in time for Winterlude. Keep up the blogging!
Love, MOM
So you're back up north. Where are the updates?
