Hello My People!

Oh how I have missed you all so very, very much.

In an effort to keep my thoughts straight, I’m going to channel Husband and the good old ctoverdrive random list of awesome.

First: You may now call me Non-Resident Alien. Why? Because, it kind of makes me a big deal. Maybe not for the best reasons, but it does make me special. I won’t get into the details here, that’s what my new and concurrent blog will be for – details on that as soon as Husband gets it finished.

What’s important to know is that: 6 weeks, endless hoops and a bruise on my forehead from the palm to forehead smacking, and I finally have an apartment to live in. We are now the proud residents of an Arlington Apartment. Not too far from campus and even closer to everything Washington DC.

In an effort to show you my new world, here is a wonderful little video on Arlington. Trust me, it’s worth watching. I also give you permission to laugh at me after.

Second: This is probably the only Country where a celiac could gain weight! Case in point: Schar products. ALL of them. I am an addict. It’s so bad I stopped looking at the nutritional facts because I could tell by my waistline. And holy dukes, they have online ordering options. Good thing #107 has a gym! Oh yes, I refer to our place by the apartment number. Some people tweet #yyc I tweet #107. Oddly enough, only I think it’s funny.

And for the record. As much I’m having a love affair with Schar products, I’m still dying for some GF Patisserie sandwich bread. I’d be willing to trade. How about a box of cookies for some bread? Any takers?

Third: Bob’s Red Mill Rocks. It’s no secret that I adore their products. And what is so awesome about them is that they are more than good food, they are a great company. I’ve always advocated for the local guys, and I love nothing more than good companies doing good things. Bob I think is a beacon of this. Just look what he did for his birthday – damn I wish I worked there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB. Party like the Rock Star that you are.

Oh and to my American friends, does anyone know where to get Bob’s GF products in Arlington?

Fourth: If you see Husband aimlessly walking the streets of Calgary, please point him South and East. Unfortunately he had to take some time to close up shop in Calgary and has been eating a LOT of gluten in my absence – I think he’s been on a month long gluten hangover.

Finally: Now that I have a roof over my head and some utilities to light the place up I will be blogging more consistently. Thank you for bearing with me, there are some exciting things in the works and I hope you stick around to find out what they are.

    lol…I watched the video on Arlington and I can see you are set: Walgreens and the Starbucks and the Starbucks and the Starbucks–this must be what sold you on the Area!! Have fun and enjoy your new home: I hope Connor remembers to bring the fireplace DVD for your next big snow storm.

    The area also has a Whole Foods aka Whole Paycheck, to go with the Starbucks and the Starbucks and the Starbucks!

    The DVD is definitely on the list! You never know when Snowmageddon may strike again.
