Well, I can't believe that it's been this long since I last posted. Oh well, no time like the present to put something together!
The only major things that have changed in the last little while is that we now have new windows on the house. It took a while, but they are here! They are really nice too! The great part is that the windows in the living room are actually working windows compared to what we had before. We have had to make some minor curtain re-arragements, but hey, for working windows, it's a minor deal!
Arrow windows is the company that sold us the windows & unfortunetly, it didn't go quite as smoothly as I would have liked it to be. We noticed, after the fact of course that some of the screens where made too small for the window opening. Some other minor things is that the pencil markings (for mesurements) where all left on the windows & the cranks wheren't sealed properly.
The other thing that we noticed is that they didn't even advertise that they where doing the renovations on the windows. No signage or anything. I guess that's what you get!
We sort of have worked things out... he's going to give us $50 off for the screens, but he didn't seem to think that the remainder of the issues where important enough to mention...
That's ok! I've accepted the $50.
On another note, I celebrated my 30th B-day last month (Sept 19) and I was pleasantly surprised by Allison's gift to me. It was a $100 gift certificate for a Tattoo at Krystal Blade. I can't wait! I have to find a design that I want. I have a general idea, but I have yet to finalize my idea.
Although that was the highlight of my b-day, the disappointment was when we went out for supper that night at East Side Mario's. Long story short, we waited almost 90mins for our supper and on top of that, it was cold. Olivia was starting to get cranky so, we basically asked that our meals be boxed up & we left. The worst thing is that the manager only gave a 15% discount for the whole thing. She didn't even offer to pay for my meal since it was my b-day. My meal was $16 and the total discount was only $6.08.
On Oct 4th, we are having our Fire Prevention day at the Fire Hall in Dieppe. It should be lots of fun! It's too bad that it's the same day that Stephen Harper is in town. I would have loved to have gone & heard him talk about the upcoming elections.
I've been following the local conservative on his website & on this twitter account. He seems to be the guy to vote for.
Well, that seems to be about it for now!
'til next time!
