Not to Alarm Anyone, But My Niece May Be the Anti-Christ.
Thursday, April 10, 2008

Just looking at the numbers, and it appears that Alice's birth announcement was post #666.

In any case, I wanted to update everyone a little bit on everything else happening in my life.

Everything, I believe, has been picked for our house, minus one range hood. Although the builders said they could "get us a great deal" from GE on our appliances, they completely failed to deliver, so got to use some of our allowance (that was build into the mortgage, to be used for upgrades, appliances, furniture, etc) on appliances somewhere else. As it happens, we managed to get a great deal at Leons on stainless steel appliances, which we wanted initially, but could not afford. As for all the other choices in cupboards, paint, flooring, etc, I figure I will hold off on that until we get to look at things.

It's weird picturing our new place. So much stuff we've 'purchased' recently (ie: we will be paying off for the next 30 years) is, well, obviously new, so I feel like I'm moving into a hotel room. It's exciting, but a little weird.

I'm halfway through the Young Drivers in class section. We had a test last week and I, ahem, got 100%. Now, on a few of the questions, I went back after I was finished and reread more carefully the questions, and corrected my mistakes before we marked them. I seem to be a strange breed in that my first gut feeling to something typically is wrong, and I need some extra time to really think things through. While this may be possible in multiple choice quizzes, I suspect that things will work out different when I'm behind the wheel. In my perfect world, I'd be able to drive 25 km/h everywhere, and never have to pass, merge, or drive behind a transport.

My first in-car lesson is on April 16th at 6:15. So, if you live in the city, and you see a little red YD Echo, you may want to jump out of the way.

how's the driving going? You go out in 2 days, are you excited?? Do you know the exact route so we can avoid you? Because I'll be out on Wednesday, and I don't want to take any chances...

Hm, not so much excited. :) Just looking forward to getting it all over with.

Actually, the first time we go out, I won't be behind the wheel too much, as I'll just be getting used to the 'feel' of the car. But after that, I'll be behind the wheel 100% of the time.

The instructor kept saying that the driving test in this city is the easiest in Canada. Appaarently, you go from the Service site to the Delta, and then back again. Pretty much a straight line. Sweet!

excellent! No one-way streets or anything, that's fantastic. Just don't run over any pedestrians, they take off points for that.
