It was sunny, warm in the sunshine and around the 11 degree mark. Then Sunday came. Got up and it was pouring! It was awesome just sitting there listening to the rain on the metal roof tops. It rained all afternoon, watched some movies with my postmaster and I realized that there was no thunder, lightning. It was just rain. So weird. Apparently because of where I am, and the location and temperatures and a bunch of sciencey stuff there can't be thunderstorms here. I guess I'll just have to YouTube my thunderstorms from now on.

Thunderstorms and summer time
It being June and from Ontario I'm used to the weather being awesomely warm and around the 20 degree mark. The only 20 degrees that I've seen were from February to April and they were in the negatives. Dang. This past week and weekend was decent weather.

Cable vs. Satellite
Man, I am so glad that I have satellite!
The cable company released a flyer saying that they are switching to digital cable (ooohh, ahhh...but I want DSL internet. Hmph.) and that their prices are going to be going up. No surprise there. If I had cable it would cost me like 140 a month to have what I have for satellite...but I only pay $65, giggity! Just to have basic cable it could cost you $70 plus tax, plus any other fees they deem necessary. The only downside to having satellite is if you have to buy a dish you have to buy the bigger, more expensive one that is $500...then get it installed so that it can't be stolen. It happens here you know.

My first time.
I've never written a blog before...so please forgive for my lack of, well anything.
I grew up in Ontario and while I was in college my Mama moved up here. So in December of 2008 I came to visit her and ended up getting a job offer for the radio station up here. I had one of my friends, Kat, suggest to me that I start a blog, or even a vlog. See, I thought I'd be busy having a life like I did in Ontario but it's super small town here and most things close by 6 at the latest; especially in the winter. (below: Tipper and Dynamo)
I moved up here with just my essential stuff and my (then skinny) kitten Tipper in February. Holy banana republic it was cold. I remember it was ridiculously cold here. The coldest I remember it being was -46 with the windchill. Coming from Central Ontario this was obscene. But you put on your Under Armour, thermal pants...and the rest of your clothes, spend at least 15 minutes putting on your outdoor clothes...and then finally you're ready to go.
So, I was here without much stuff
and everyday I would go to the post office 2 doors down from me to see if I had any packages arrive for me. Every time I'd go would be at the same time and there was always this cute guy that served me at the counter, coincidence maybe? Since the Legion is the place to be on the weekends my cute postal worker asked me to join him and friends there. Why not? I don't know anybody. Well he hasn't left my side since. He's kind of a big deal to me.
It's been (as of today) 5 months and 21 days of learning more radio ins and outs, having hilarious times with my very own Postmaster and I added another kitten to my life.
