Here I am sitting waiting for my landlord to phone me. Our bathtub faucet has been leaking behind the tiles and constantly dripping cold water. Our landlord came over last night to fix it by replacing it. He did not get the job finished as I guess it was either getting late and he needed a few other tools.

I told him that I leave for work at 10:00am, an it is already 9am. I have no ability to take a shower, I might just resort to sticking my head in the sink to wash my hair. Ouch! This really sucks. I do not want to have to wait, and wait for him to phone and then to arrive, replace the damn thing, then have a shower.

Anyways, I do not enjoy being inconvenienced like this. I am off to stick my head under the sink. Ooh the fun I shall have….

This past Saturday Bryan and I woke up bright and early and heading up to Whistler for the day to do some snowboarding up on Blackcomb mountain. The drive was great, road conditions were excellent. Only had to stop a few times once for breakfast at Tim Hortons, and a few bathroom stops (I really should have taken the gravol before we left)…

When we finally arrived, we strapped on our boards, and headed straight up to the very top of the mountain. Where we rode hard all day long until we stopped for lunch. I nearly fell asleep at the table as I was so beat. It also did not help that I only had five hours of sleep the night before. The we continued to ride until it was closing time.

For Christmas Bryan had bought me a day lift ticket, so this day was sort of a date. It was great to get away just the two of us. We did invite some friends to come up with us but nobody called us. Whatever their loss. I have not had so much fun snowboarding in such a long time. The local mountains that I go to are nothing compared to world class Blackcomb.

The drive home was a little sketchy. The highway heading up there is currently being widened for the 2010 Olympic. The drive at night had me on edge the whole time. You would be driving and following the lines one minute, then the next your lane lines disappeared and seem to drive straight off a cliff, or into on coming traffic. No wounder there are so many deadly accidents there, you really have to be paying 110% of the time and absolutely no speeding. Yet there were a bunch of idiot drivers passing us, riding the ass of other cars, just being dangerous. We half expected to come across some of them a few minutes later ripped to shreds by a semi truck, or to have ripped a hole in the guard rail plunging down a cliff into the ocean. I’m happy we made it home safe.

I have uploaded all my Blackcomb pictures on to my flickr account. I will leave you with a few of my favorite shots taken that day.

I am trying my best at Menu Planning. If I have it written down, then perhaps it could lessen my stress from when I get home after work trying to figure out what there is to eat. Not to mention saving money as I am planning on buying everything for the week during ONE grocery shopping trip. Not trying to figure out what I want to eat, then heading to the grocery store on my way home after work to pick something up.

I happened to come across OrgJunkie
s Menu Plan Monday and I thought it would really benefit me and my boyfriend. Not to mention her website is pretty fun to read as well.

Everything is going slowly with the unpacking. I would love to take some pictures of my new place and show it off, but honestly. There are way to many boxes in every nook and cranny and of course the giant pile that is right next to me. I did manage to go out and purchase a dish drying rack, and some shelf liners. Our kitchen is slowly making its way into becoming a real life kitchen. It is so cluttered and organized it is driving me crazy, at least I can see an end in sight.

Once I get paid, and if I have enough left over I am going to finally get around to buying this dresser from Ikea. All my clothing are still in boxes and I am just diving my hand into them in hopes of picking out something nice to wear, or matching socks. I am really looking forward to a little more organization in my life.
