Who the hell are you?

Some wonder why people write blogs. Well I don't know about anyone else but for me I write publicly for the same reason that I read other peoples blogs because people fascinate me. 
Drew (hubby) thinks that I get too involved in other peoples lives but it's not that at all, it's interesting. Much like people watching.

Here I sit in the city of London Ontario (it's green and raining btw - not very festive). The city where I went to high school and where I left as soon as my four years were up. I'm a self declared gypsy. I move, A LOT. More times since 1995 then I have fingers on my two hand. I might actually have moved on to toes at this point, but lets not think about that.

 I left London a long time ago, if you have ever lived in this city you will most likely know why I left. It's a dead city and has gotten worse since I vacated my parents house many moons ago. I came back thinking to it would be good to reconnect with my parents. But I was wrong because although I would say that I have matured and changed as a person since I left here they have not. They are still the same and there is no buffer as I am the only child. Lets leave it at that since I'm sure that you didn't come here to read about my less then perfect childhood. I sometimes sit and wonder how the hell I managed to make it to an adult in one piece with a somewhat normal personality.

Anyhooo

 Since you are here let me tell you who we are, Drew and I? We have been married for almost four years, together for six. We have had less then a perfect time together because life has been a struggle so we currently are in the process of giving life a kick in the ass and doing a 180.

About three weeks ago we started the application to a retail company (I will post the company name later as I don't want to jinx it now) and have had two separate interviews for a management couple position up in the north. It will either be a posting in the Northwest Territories or Nunavut. My bones tell me Nunavut and although I wasn't keen on that location to begin with I have come to be happy, excited and terrified all at the same time about the prospect of the move.

As today is boxing day (Merry belated Christmas everyone) we are at a bit of a stand still in regards to any further news. I do know that the last were heard they had checked references and were doing a police check so keep you fingers crossed. Drew and I moved here from Ottawa and it is a decision that we have come to deeply regret and we both want out of London more than anything in the world right now.
It is time for a change, and change is coming.

So until next time; be yourself, unless of course you can be a unicorn, then of course be a unicorn.
