Phoenix from a speeding motorhome SWAGed from my Mom's Facebook.
Coral and I sometimes harbour fantasies of picking up and moving away to live somewhere different.
Its no secret that I want to move to the desert. But lately I’ve been reading so much negative stuff about Arizona and their general distrust of immigrants… that well, doesn’t make me want to be an immigrant there. That leaves Nevada or maybe even New Mexico.
Coral is less enthused about the US in general… maybe I could talk her into Nashville? Music City USA, that has a nice ring. Or maybe Texas! If we moved to Nashville I’d make records and if we moved to Texas I’d obviously take the Panthers to State.

I read that Nashville recently flooded. Nashville, being a center for music in the US had a lot of damage to the things that make music industry spin round. Guitars, piano’s, musical venues and touring equipment.

I wonder if this will effect us here on our imported rock & roll the same way it effects the price of oranges when there is a frost in Florida? Jack White records will cost double per pound?
ahhh, maybe we’ll stick to Canada. The Canucks let me down, but they got further in the playoffs than the Coyotes of Predators. Could you picture me wearing a Predators sweater? not so much.
Ugh, but that Canucks game last night? I get that the Canucks are going to lose some hockey games. The Blackhawks are a great hockey team and favoured to win. But the way they lost… it is all just so… typical.
The Canucks are NEVER the team that exceeds expectation, and I think that is the worst part of being a Canucks fan.
Every year for the past lot of years, the Canucks generally ice a competitive hockey club only to then fall to pieces in the playoffs. The villains change, but the Canucks lack of progress doesn’t. 600 divisional titles but zero Stanley Cups… its just not right. I only derive so much joy from the yearly spanking of the Leafs and the bouncing of the Oil and Flames from playoff contention (But OIL, they surprise you some years and charge to the Cup… and all the history, and the future prospects in their system!!).
Oh well, next year right?

Trying to squeeze a couple bucks out of our little budget to buy bike for Coral and a trailer to pull Madelyn. Then we can go for bike rides with long suffering Oil fan Dave.
Something that felt really good last night. Coral and I went on our online banking account payee list and deleted two. One credit card and one monthly bill that we payed up and eliminated. That oddly had a level of satisfaction I wasn’t expecting. Best use of the delete button for sure.
That’s all I got. Go with yourself.

I still think it’s funny how they said they would win this year and once again lost. I’m glad I didn’t waste my time to watch the game, I heard it was pretty painful to watch.
There is nothing more satisfying in anyone’s life than paying off and getting rid of a monthly bill or credit card. I’m going to bake a cake and have a little party on April 20, 2011 when I make my final car payment and remove it from my monthly bills. You and coral are welcome to come for the celebrations!

ps. congrats on getting rid of the bill and credit card in the same month!
and if you move to Texas, I hope you send everyone in Vic a pic of you in dirty overalls leaning against your prize cow. haha. I donno why, but when I think of Texas, that’s the picture that pops into my head.
thanks Natalie… and nice new blog, but no posts yet?
It’s in development still. Just got it created this morning actually. Gonna work on some graphics tonight before I gotta usher @ David Gray, then the posting will start!
very cool. when you get fired up, I’ll add you to my blog roll.
There’s nothing quite the same as deleting a payee from the list! A couple of months ago I shed the dead weight of my student loans FINALLY, and it was great.
It’s almost like that stunned feeling you get when school is out for the summer. You have to keep reminding yourself that you don’t have any homework, and you don’t have to go to school monday morning!
Congratulations on giving those payees the final heave-ho!
well a couple got the heave-ho! still about a half dozen to go!
