Mon Petit Grenouille! (HOkai Lets try this Hagain)

Okay - Bread in the Oven? Check. Inspiration? Check. *5 minute pause* Determination? check.

Wow, okay lesson about blogging number 1 - Don't wait so long between writing! - rookie mistake
As soon as something cool happens write it down right away or else all the amazing things that happen
will all build up and you'll think
" Jeez Louise, you know I really should have blogged about all these cool things".


"Voila! " said my dad in best french accent " Mon Petit Grenouille!"
We were standing in the MEC backpack section and I was trying on the most crucial part of a backpackers journey-
A Backpackers backpack.
The nice lady working helped me pick out a few bags and and I tried a couple on before narrowing it to two. She filled them
both with weighted bags and I walked around the store to get the full experience of a loaded bag. . . well as close as i've come so far anyways.
I knew as soon as I put her on. . . with the weights. The Gregory Deva 85. 80 liters of room, great metal frame inside and enough pulls and strings
to make my dad say "huh . . . well would you look at that. . . "
Im really happy with this bag and for the first time Im beginning to
understand what a turtle must feel like having their entire homes on their backs!

So in honor of my dear papa; I have decidedly called my bag " Mon Petit Grenouille "
And yes, I have already sewn a Canadian flag on her. Number two coming soon ^_^

Im really lucky to meet alot of cool people at work. These past few weeks i've met some people who i'd like to thanks.
You know who you are.
Thank you for inspiring me. Your confidence in me ( A Morning Coffee Girl or in some cases basically a stranger ) has really renewed my faith
that their are nice people in our world.
I think its so lucky when people meet and share a brief moment that makes you feel genuinely happy and glad to have made such
a connection with someone you don't know.
I really look forward to sharing this blog with you too!!! maybe ill be making coffee down under? . . . Scooonnes . . .

UGH I'm going to miss my witches. I can't think about that right now cause . . . well because. . . I don't know but I refuse to
think about that sad thought right now.
BUT I have decided to comb threw some of my favorite cook books and write down some choice recipes to be taking vish me.
Ill write them in my Red book and be sure to take staples like bread and soups and mums chocolate cake. . .
staples people staples.


Very looking forward to this new adventure. So soon and so far! work work work. everyday. BUT its worth it!
OH ho ho!!!! there IS a light at the end of this tunnel! and I, sirs and madams Can see it! almost! ... okay in October. . .
BUT STILL!
That is correct.
Second most crucial part to a backpackers journey -
Rights of Passage
Work and travel Visa? Check
Passport? Check
Ticket? Check. October 2010 Australia. woah. ( ) *_______ * ( ) <- Thats me making a puffy face cause im
Nervous and excited and don't believe it. see it? i'm puffing my cheeks out? kinda?
