It's so hot. Yuck. Know how much I love summer? I think everyone around me knows how much I hate summer I mean, who wants to be hot and sticky all the time? I'm silently cursing everyone who complained "where's summer?" all springtime ;) I hope they all get a sunburn!

Now FALL-This is why clothing manufacturers make cute cardigans and scarves, cute hats and boots. Know what I mean? who WOULDN'T love fall? summer is yucky. In my opinion, summer is the worst 12 weeks of the year! humbug.

How as a family have we been beating he heat? Firstly, this may be TMI but I'm writing this on my blackberry, in a cool bath. Best pastime ever. We also have a pool in our townhouse's complex and we've been making near daily trips there before bed. :)

Air conditioning has been my saviour. The mall is lways deliciously air conditioned and am thinking that the inventor of the indoor playground has a special spot reserved, just for them in heaven ;) the kids play and Brian and I sit in air conditoned bliss.


Going to the mall a lot has opened up a world of opportunity to visit Sephora, of course. For me, no mall trip would be complete without it! even if it's just a trip to ogle. There have been a few purchases, some to gloat about, some not so stellar... I'll get to reviews in due time.

I've somehow broken my camera's SD card, so until get a new one, pictures will be limited.

This fall is bringing lots of change to Wiebeworld and Glitterbomb. Firstly, I've finally (yes, after talking about this for what, 7 years?) begun persuing my BSN. I'll be a Registered Nurse! of course, this will take a LOT of dedication and work. Doubly so since have two small kids. You know that feeling when you sit down to study and you're instantly THE MOST INTERESTING PERSON EVAR?! yeah, I've been getting a lot of that lately.

However, I'm partly doing this for THEM and their future, so as hard s this will be- it will be worth it in the end. 

As well, the return to school is giving me lots of reality checks ($500 for ONE course?!?!) but it will ultimately bring us lots of changes in the... uh... budgetary department. Not the easiest thing, and it's always easier said than done.

First Wiebeworld Budgetary challenge- get rid of the car!!! No, not sell it. We'll need it in the future and Paulybot is a good car- Just don't use it any more.

I did some math and turns out, the car was actually costing us a lot more than I'm willing to comfortably admit. Along with the monthly payments, insurance, maintenance and GAS- Paulybot was costing us over 769 a month!!!!!!!!    yeah, way too much when you take into consideration that we live on a major bus route and a monthly bus pass for Brian is $110. My student bus pass is included in my tuition and fees.  so, challenge accepted! we sall see how that goes.

We've put him into storage and I think this challenge will extend into November, depending on how it's going. If we find out that we actually do NEED the car, we'll reinsure it and get it back on the road. 

For now though, it's hot out and hate it.
