Fun●ness!

♪ I'm leaving, on a jet plane ♫

Travel isn't as fast & frequent as it was when I lived in Brazil, but I do have two fun trips coming up.

Trip #1: A three day business trip to Fredericton, New Brunswick. Happiness #1a is getting to see Fredericton while Happiness #1b is getting to see some of my old contacts from Recife. Approximately three weeks back in Canada, trying to wrap my mind about the fact that I would no longer be professionally involved with Brazil, the Brazil peeps at work tracked me down and asked if I could lend-a-hand until Christmas. Could I???? The answer was an easy yes - and here I am a month later, not quite going to Brazil, but at least going to "kill my nostagia"¹ by visiting my Brazil peeps who will be in Fredericton for a workshop.

Trip #2: A girls' long weekend in New York City! Hurry! Lots of happinesses about this one as well. No definite schedule - just a plane ticket in hand.

All Aboard!

Boooooooooooooo

Can you tell that:

a) Last week was my first hallowe'en in three years; and
b) For the six years prior, I lived in an apartment?

Just to be clear - we didn't go waaaay out like the folks that decorate their houses beyond recognition, with orange flashing lights, flying ghosts and moaning skeletons that pop out of their lawns. But ... we did have a little bit of fun with the dressmakers mannequin that I picked up at the Antrim Flea Market (the ex Stittsville Fair) a few weeks back....


Mhawhahahahahaha
