"well you wanted to know"


August 16th, 2010

I have moved and settled in @ 11:40 am

Current Location: Canada, New Westminster
Current Mood: cheerful cheerful

thought i should post an update lets see how it goes :P
So I made it to Vancouver after a long long 12 hour bus ride that had a creaming 18month old throughout the WHOLE TRIP! My iPod saved me from going mental, but I made it. On Saturday my mission was to find a bed, so with Robyn's elite driving skills and navigation we ended up in Langley at the Sleep Country there. I was able to get a double pillow-top bed, boxspring and frame for 550 with free delivery. I do not get it until thursday so I am sleeping on the couch for a few days. Then we went to Ikea. I didnt buy to much from there but I did get some pretty face clothes and matching shower curtain. As we were shopping I kept an eye out for a fan, because it is super hot and we do not have air conditioning. Now retailers are clearing out all of their summer items and starting to get the fall stuff in, so no fans everywhere we went.  I was getting worried and frustrated. so we passed on looking for fans, for now. Later  Robyn and I went to this market that sold fruits and veggies for super super cheap, so we loaded up on goodies.

That night we went to the Richmond Night market and it was such a gorgeous night to go too. It was so neat to see! so much different foods available and vendors. Just amazing. I highy recommend people to go if you havn't before. Natalie even met us there which was awesome! I haven't seen her in years so it was really great for her to come out.

Sunday, finding a fan was the first priority. So we went into Home Depot not holding out much hope and what to we see a stack of fans that people were grabbing. I basically walked in the store saw the fans and beelined right to them lol. mission accomplished. Now all I have left is to find a dresser. Robyn randomly checked Craigslist as i was on Kijiji and saw someone had just posted a free dresser over by East Hastings (the good side close to where Amelia lives). We go and find it and its still there but wouldn't fit into the car :( oh well. ill just keep an eye out for it.

Right now Im about to head out to BCIT to get my student card and transit passes. after that I am just going to wander around and take some pictures. When it gets to hot Ill pop  back to the apartment. Oh and sometime my packages will arrive so i shall have to pick them up later tonight if they are available.

well thats all for now take care everyone!
