Drive, Write, Drive, Delayed Flight, and Home

Me last night at the cocktail reception that was held… outdoors (aside – think my camera is degrading, again.)

I lasted as long as it takes to inhale a coffee, and take one photo.

A few hundred kilometres today through Quebec ski towns and little villages.

Our tour included a stop at 1 of 3 Canadian Benedictine monasteries.

Neat eh. Of course I loved how quiet it was inside #LoveSilence. Should’ve told them my theory – put a monk in a race car.

They’re master cheese makers, that’s how they make money WAIT – they sell cheese to make cheese! Guys I’m tired.

Back on the road, drive drive drive.

My review will be online at Autonet very soon.

I will be recommending to spend the extra $2,200 for Mercedes’ 4MATIC All-wheel drive system, it makes a massive difference in handling.

That works out to another 7% of the total price. Exactly.

Then my flight was delayed, and delayed again, then those green loops are the plane circling for more delays.

Won’t go on, because travel stories are so very boring.

Picked up this week’s car at the airport – 2015 Infiniti Q70 – and now it’s 11pm and I’m home, the end.

 

 

Bought on Credit for the First Time

Always ran my finances like, “if I can’t pay cash, probably shouldn’t be buying this.”

To be clear: I use a Visa daily, it accumulates flight points, but always have the cash to pay off at the month’s end, which also helps my credit score, like that #TheTrickIsFullPaymentAlways #GoodCreditScoreIsKey #SuchNicheHashtags

It’s fast to fill out the form, forever to deal with the consequences eh.

But fresh air is essential.

The windows.

(I tape things out always)

Details – each window is equidistant from the corners, 14″ high, drywall return, awning opening, reeded glass running horizontally, and all for just $60/month PHFT.

Bet that’s the part that gets me into trouble, the PHFT, how it would accumulate… because I don’t have that chunk of cash kicking around, so guess that’s how credit happens huh… #NotARenterAnymore

Blog tag = house

 

 

Here are the Spring Trends for the Home

Twice a year Canadian Tire takes over an empty space, and transforms it into a place that’s filled with the the next season’s trends. Last summer they took over a house in suburbia, and morphed it into Christmas time.

Here’s what’s coming for us this summer season.

The patterns of summer 2015 are oversized florals, watercolour patterns and bold stripes, all in brighter colours than have previously been en vogue.

Impatiens are the most purchased flower in North America. Canadian Tire designed a tougher type, the Bounce Impatient, which is supposedly extra hearty.

I’m just going to cover my entire property in this – an all-in-one flower solution: seeds + fertilizer + coir #easy

Sprinkle around, flowers bloom at different times, and the coir changes colour when it’s time to water.

 

If I put this rule here, I won’t keep forgetting it:

Perennial – plant comes up each year, over and over
Annual – plant each year because 1 seed = 1 year

A quick swing break during the kids area, because zero interest there.

Boosting your own cell signal will be a trend.

And there’s a new in-house line of products you’ll start seeing on their shelves: FRANK.

Kind’ve like the Presidents Choice of Canadian Tire.

And if you’re at the Etobicoke, ON store, enquire about being driven in the Canadian Tire limo.
