Our basement is such a mess

by

I haven’t begun my Christmas shopping yet, but I am thinking about it.

Our basement is a mess! We have a lot of tools in the basement – among many other things. Our basement is a general storage area and isn’t used for anything but storage, washing and drying clothes, the toilet and showering.

My husband tries to keep the tools in order. There’s a work bench in the basement and he keeps the majority of our tools on or above it, but I think I might try to find a better form of tool storage if I can. Depending upon what I find and how pricey it is I could perhaps make a gift of a tool storage system one of Chris’ Christmas gifts.

It’s not like he needs a Christmas gift this year though … I mean we got him an HD video camera this summer. That should cover at least one birthday and Christmas I think! Me too. I don’t need anything. I got a really nice SLR camera this summer when we got Chris the video camera. I think we’re both good for a while.

But we could use something that would help us organize the basement. That would be practical, wouldn’t it?





The Realtravel Blog

by

If you enjoy traveling you might also enjoy this travel blog. It’s called the RealTravel Blog and it’s written by a group of editors who’ve gathered the best travel related stories, recommendations and photos from the realtravel.com community.

There’s nothing like hearing accounts of peoples experiences in another country before you decide whether to go there for a couple weeks vacation. The latest post on the travel blog is a list that’s been compiled by couple who left their home in Minnesota in April 2006 to travel around the world. The list is, of course, about their top ten unforgettable experiences around the world. They’ve been to some amazing places! In fact, I think all of the places mentioned on their list are also places that my husband and I have discussed visiting. Hopefully we’ll get to visit these sites some day. For now we can just be voyeurs and learn from others experiences.

Check out the categories on the travel blog. It’s pretty much a list of countries. Each country category has several posts within it that list some of the nicest places in each country to visit. Again, all the posts are accounts of other peoples fantastic vacations.

Visit and or bookmark this blog. I think it would be a good resource for anyone planning a holiday.

The beach at Sunset

I don’t think there’s any better combination than a sunset over water.

I took this photo during the summer during one of our many visits to The Beach area in Toronto.

I love this city as there is so much to do here. Live theater, festivals – one being the Toronto Film Festival that just ended, nightlife, the many parks and of course the beautiful beach area.

Lake Ontario is huge. If you’ve never seen it before and didn’t know it was one of the Great Lakes you’d probably think it was the ocean. I know my photos of it have fooled many people into thinking I live by the sea!

Do you have a beach area in your city or town?

More waste in health care

by

I haven’t been to my workplace in ages. When I first got sick I used to drop in every now and then to see my friends from work. However I haven’t even had any appointments in the hospital at all lately so I haven’t been there for a long time. Maybe even a whole year.

About a year before I got sick they were putting all new counters, reception and office desks in the ER. The counters weren’t built all the well. There weren’t enough electrical outlets for all our equiptment and the ones that were there had a hard to move cover over them. So much for quickly plugging in a pulse oximeter or blood pressure monitor to recharge!

Well, now they are completely renovating the ER. Expanding it too. So I suppose all the work that was done two or three years ago was for nothing! What a waste of money.

I’ll have to make a point of dropping in for a visit again soon. I miss the job and my co-workers.
