the Phoenix
Okay, so just when I thought this blog was dead.. it rises from the ashes.
Wow. a year later.
Okay. where to begin.
I'm back on the prairie again.. ohhh... back on the PRAIRIE again! Definitely not expected, must be why it hasn't sunk in yet.
I knew I was home when it was minus 41 my first day back -
My skin is cracked my fingers have freezerburn..
Working for the Corp. crazy. I always wondered if I would end up in a government job, I think this is as close as I'll get.
The most ironic thing about this, is the tiny feeling of swallowing some pride to return west.. it was east till I died.. or until a bigger western paycheck rolls my way - but you take away the rent, the food, the 5 dollar an hour parking meter money away.. and I'm back in northend halifax way of life - looking for loose change to pay for my java blend habit - hoping I have enough money after paying for a roof over my head to partake in some huevos rancheros coastal style.... homesick - shift gears.
There's some good to this - old friends, new friends, coffee shops open later than 8 pm.. mountains, chinooks.. and a whole other set of adventures waiting around the next jump in temperature ;)

Hello Terri!
It's Kate here, just checked in as facebook told me you were writing again. I too have an intense liking to Java Blend coffee, enough so that I bring several pounds back with me to Montreal! So good... Sounds like the Calgary scene hasn't sunk in yet, hope it's going well though!
