Yummy
So this was growing in my bathtub. So after a long day, and a horrible evening, I go to have a shower and find it doesn't drain. So what do I do? I took out my plug and went exploring. This is what I found.

Pots
Okay, so I have these pots that I got from a friend of my dad's. He commited suicide when I was in high school, and b/c my dad helped his wife with the funeral stuff, she gave him all his dishes. Which were given to me. The pots are these heavy ass cast iron things that annoy the fuck out of me. I like the fact that I can just put them in the oven, but they are so heavy, and take longer to cook than the thin steel ones.
So out of curiousity, I looked up the company name on the internet today. "Le Creuse" And find out that they are these high end fancy ass EXPENSIVE pots. Like my smallest pot is worth $99 US. How retarded is that? And I was just going to go and buy myself some new pots and give these away or something. Crazy... I still want new ones, but I like the fact that I have fancy french pots. :) Oh, and the plates and bowls and cups and shit? They are all this fine china stuff that I just use all the time. Hehehe. Now if only I could get some more tupperware instead of this cheap rubbermaid shit.

Doh!
I keep forgetting my camera at my parents place, so I haven't uploaded the pictures yet. Sorry, I'll do it from their place tonight.

Today is the day!
Since I woke up an hour ago I haven't been able to sit still. I'm just so excited. Today I take possession of my house! Shortly here I have to go to the insurance office and get that sorted out and then it's off to Airdrie to do my walk-through, and the place will be mine!
I feel like I should eat something, but I'm not hungry. I didn't sleep well last night. It's like Christmas morning, cept this is going to put me into so much more debt than I have ever been in. My plans are starting to fall together. In high school when I started my millwright apprenticeship I planned on buying a house in my early 20's. I also planned on being done my apprenticeship by now, but a few setbacks, and wonderful events (ie. Jo) life is starting to come together. Now I just have to keep it on track.
Yay for new houses! Pictures will be posted today. (H, where do you post your pictures in that little online gallery?)

In Response
In response to the comments in the previous post...
Of course you can come see it! I move in on Friday. Everyone is invited to come check it out anytime after Sunday. Okay, I take possession on Friday, Saturday will be cleaning, and Sunday will be move in day. So anytime after that. Unless you feel like helping me clean or move.
As for your list of things to say, Irish Wristwatch was our favorite. I think I've actually written a post about it before. About how we used to try and get other students doing presentations to try and say it. Or how we'd trick the prof's into saying it. So much fun...
I'm so excited about moving! I hope they haven't left it in too much of a mess. I got all my gas/electricity/water/sewer hooked up, and let me tell you what a hassle THAT was. I get my internet hooked up Friday night, and am going to get Vongage (VoIP) for my phone, so we'll see how that works.
So much fun!
Oh, and I'm about 95% done packing!
