When are you moving home?...


I will say this question is not foreign to me in any way...it is only slightly more popular than other great questions such as..."when are you getting married?"...and "when are you going to start a family?"... Strangely enough the answer for all of these questions is very similar. Not any time soon...when pigs fly up to a take out window and order a coffee at Tim Horton's wearing their sweet flannel jacket, which seems to be and NB issued one.

In case you are not aware, I, along with Jana and Mike, just returned from God's Country, aka, Nouveau-Brunswick. I will say that I had not been back since last December, so it was great to see some new scenery. Every once in awhile you do need  a break from watching people eat random yummies from off of the floor of the the lovely Toronto subway car...so on that front it was great!

I also very much enjoyed seeing friends and family and my beauty new niece. I missed some people due to time constraints, but that is bound to happen when you consider how awesome and I am and how rarely I am home...lol ;), so I will see you all when I am back, or when you realize that it costs the same for me to go to NB as it would for you all to come here!! :) But I am sorry if you were missed, it's never my intention, but family takes over.

It was also great to have some good work meetings and look to generate some revenue, so overall it was very productive...

With all that lovefest stuff being said, I have to say that I didn't find the magical moment/thing/gust of wind/great meal/anything you can think of that made me think..."Man this is sweet, I should really move back here and find a job"...let us dissect that thought for a moment: 1. it is fun in short doses, but I wouldn't say it's sweet, 2. Moving back there would mean many things, not the least of which would mean that I would likely have to do that drive again (which is like volunteering for a lobotomy), 3. What would my skills allow me to do there? I have experience selling sports, and technology, so my options are inherently limited (however I could grow a mullet and sell for Hafford motors or something...)

So to sum it up, NB was an awesome time for  a change of pace, but I will take Toronto any day so I can kick it up a notch and have more than one pace as an option. So if anyone wants to visit, you know how to find me!!

Random Thought: I wonder if I could afford to hire a driver for the next time I want to go to NB, because that 1400 km's is not something I would wish on anyone, but would pay someone to do...
