Friday Confessions


  • I confess that I would love to live somewhere else than the province of Quebec, temporally or permanently, I don't know! When I was young, my family moved to New Brunswick for 1 year, so I can say that I have lived in NB and Quebec! So I have been to New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, but never been to Western Canada. I would like to move to another Canadian province, like Ontario maybe, I really love Toronto! But Boyfriend hates Toronto! Boyfriend loves British Colombia, he has lived in Vancouver for a few months several years ago and he enjoyed it so much (warmer weather!)!
  • I confess that I have a lot of stress going on in my life right now and I'm not sure how to deal with that.
  • I confess that I have not worked out a lot in the past few days because our stationary bike was broken! But it is now repaired, so I can go back to my normal routine!
  • I confess that I want to buy new books! I love books! And since I'm on a limited budget, I cannot! (Insert sad face here!)
  • I confess that the house market here is insane! The prices of houses are so high and are totally unaffordable for us! I'm talking about $200,000 for an old mobile home! Or $360,000 for a 1970 bungalow that needs a lot of updates!
  • I confess that I need to get a lot done today!

Happy Friday and happy weekend!!!
