No seriously though, the weather has been pretty bad lately (cold, windy, and rainy), and I've been sick and I don't start work until next week, so I mostly have been hanging out indoors this week (and weekend, for that matter). There was a huge earthquake out in the pacific ocean, and New Zealand got some serious tsunami warnings, although all that meant was all the kiwis gathered at the beach to go surfing. Smart. I, being completely out of loop, only found out about all this through an email my mom sent making sure everything was okay. I really need to get out more.
As for home renovation projects, slowly but surely we're getting things done. By the time people come to visit our home will be complete! We have also figured out we have the most multi-cultural neighborhood EVER. There are some Sri Lankans in the house across the street, some Brits, a few Kiwis, a South African woman and Irish man, an Asian family, and then me, the Yank as they so nicely put it. We are from all over the world. AND, the baby that lives across the street looks JUST like that baby in the video that bites his brother's finger, AND his name is Charlie... see below...
