On the May long weekend, I'm heading back to Vancouver to see my friends and family! I cannot wait. The last time I saw everyone was at Christmas time but I'm super close to everyone and missing them has been my biggest challenge in moving to Toronto. My ticket was $499.45 and my parents and S are both going to give me $100 each so I'm heading to Vancouver for about $300 which is an wonderful.S is leaving for Europe for three weeks to finish his MBA at that time anyway, so since I'd just be at home missing him, this works out really well.
Unfortunately, I had to put this ticket on my Visa so it's now maxed again. But on the upside, I'm planning on dropping a large payment of $750 in my next pay period. Plus the $200 from my familia and it should be back down to a respectable amount very soon. I'm also going to make an effort to put some extra money on it.
It's actually a good thing that my Visa was maxed this morning because I was playing around online and ended up designing my own business cards on vistaprint.ca. They look great! And were only $50 including shipping but when I went to process the order my Visa got declined. Although I think it's a really, really good idea to have a personal business card and I will probably process them in future, this morning it definitely would have been a complete impulse buy.

I was scrolling through your blog this morning and I saw that picture and was like, "hey! That's Vancouver!" In fact, I can see the white sails of Canada Place from my office RIGHT NOW! So I've found a fellow-Vancouverite, woohoo!
ReplyDeleteLovely blog, by the way.
Thanks Alanna. Lucky you that you have such a great view from your office!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled to be coming back to visit and hopefully I'll get to visit my old stomping ground down by Stanley Park as well. Have a beautiful day!
btw, I've had a change of heart about the personal business cards - for now anyway. S told me I sounded like a nerd because I'm get $200 for my plane ticket and then was going to spend $50 on personal business cards.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, I see his point. lol. Old habits die hard I guess!!
