So while I’m in Moncton for the wellness expo, I’ve got a hot date. I may even share the torrid details with everyone when I get back;) It’s bound to be blog worthy for sure. It’s been a while since I’ve had a date exposé to share;)

May:

• Ok, so remember my van fiasco? Well I bought a new van, a mazda mpv. It’s very nice, even has a dvd player for the kids on long rides. I’m saying good bye to north american made vehicles. My sympathies to all dodge caravan owners.

June:

• End of school year, kids and I go on vacation to Boston, lots of fun, the duck tour (amphibious bus) is a big hit:)
• I buy a giant water slide off ebay for the kids, wait for it to arrive

July:

• kids and I go camping in Saint Andrews
• Alec in summer camps.
• Woman runs a red light and hits the side of my van, fortunately I’m not hurt. Van out of commission for 2 weeks.
• End of July, taking too long for them to receive money order for slide, I ask them to cancel order.    

August:

• kids and I go camping to PEI with friends, have a great time
• I go camping to Mount Carleton.
• My sister rents a cottage in Shediac and the kids and I go back and forth to visit. My Dad and Aunt also come for a visit.
• I’m waiting for my money order to come back for ebay purchase, seller promised it is in mail. Finally I do a trace with my bank, they cashed it. She does not reply to my emails and she is suddenly not selling anything on ebay. Her ebay history that had before showed many positive feedback, now is made private. Stupid me, bought on ebay lots, never a problem, even paid with money order before for people who don’t have paypal and never a problem. I go on a mission, track down the PO box, find the drop off place, talk to the owner of the store, track her down. Small town, everyone knows everyone there. I think my money is coming back now.

September:

• kids back to school. Bram starts kindergarten and loses his tooth all on the same day. Alec starts middle school.
• Alec joins the hiking club, first hike yesterday, had a great time. I got to meet Harold there as well.

So what about me? The real goods? Nothing much new. Spending time with the kids and friends but mostly working as usual. Lots of good stuff to announce about all of that soon as well.
