The New Bundle Of...

Joy and exhaustion...this is Denny and he is a kitten through and through...his big brother Earl has decided not to eat him but rather adore him!

Love

So much to say, after an intense visit home, much to post and much to think on.  From wife abusing cop haters (I will point virtual fingers at) to angels and new love..but as exhaustion and jet lag set in my most important point is,  I feel loved...and I miss you momma, thanks for always being there...

Edited to add I'm letting go of a wee revenge fantasy.  While being verbally assaulted by a couple of criminals was very scary I'm not going to 'out' them or their family business online.  My prayers go out to their families and in particular the spouse of one who is in a very abusive situation.  It is not my place or my story, I was merely passing through a very ugly place.

New Orleans...

That's it.  Enough is enough.  I miss girl time.  Yes, I love being an R.C.M.P. spouse, yes, H division is lovely...but being lonely SUCKS!  And so, it's off to New Orleans, in 5/6 months for moi.  It's warm, it's colourful and I will be there with a very diverse and kick arse group of girls (yes I said girls, not PC) and will make some wicked old timer stories...Grandpa Elliot here I come. xo

Dear H

My partner in crime has mentioned that I don't seem to mention him on my blog very much...I have explained that this is mostly a place for the neat things I find online, or otherwise...and I have talked about wedding decor (thank heavens I get to elope) and his career change as a Mountie, R.C.M.P. guy...and our subsequent move to Nova Scotia.  However, as it is his birthday Happy Birthday Baby!  I thought I would dedicate this post to him.  We are still leaning towards living a condo lifestyle and as such I found some future decor touches I (we) should like, all images/links found initially on 'Apartment Therapy'.  The chocolate brown walls in the first image are what I hope will end an ongoing argument around here.  H loves neutrals, LOVES them...me, not so much.  In my mind they've been done, and overdone so many times and they don't give me a safe, cozy feeling at all but rather a claustrophobic, help I'm trapped in the sticky mouse trap that is the 'burbs kinda feeling...chocolate brown = a neutral with balls.
The second image is all about the strip of red on the edge of a doorway.  I love colour, H does not...I admit that I don't have a lot of practice with it or a fabulous attention span.  This edging however is like an accessory, jewellery for your home.
And finally the golden blocks for the shower...yes please, warm, elegant and yet crisp and spa-like...soooo ummm Happy Birthday Baby, and look and the things I like!!! (I have a very patient man indeed).

Company has Arrived

My Mum is here!  One of the best things about moving is that I can show friends and family my favourite haunts here in the East.
