Happy Birthday to me :) It's another gorgeous day here in St. John's, NL. It's warm and sunny and the snow is melting. I have to head off to the Ministry of Transportation to renew my driver's license; after that, I'm just going to enjoy the rest of my birthday.
Today is the official start date of Project Noble Beaver. Right now I am at a local coffee shop named Coffee Matters Too. After that I'm heading down Water Street to TVAL Skincare to buy some much needed body lotion. My skin is so dry from being in Alberta that it hurts so moisturizer is essential for helping retain what moisture is left in my skin so it can heal. Being home in St. John's helps because of the humidity and soft water.
Yesterday I bought 3 books for my birthday. Two of them are by Canadian authors. One book, called Anita Stewart's Canada: The Food, The Recipes, The Stories by Anita Stewart is truly an amazing book! I am in love with it and have been reading it all day and last night. I never realized how influenced by Canadian culture my mum's cooking was. This book has been an eye-opener and I'm really pleased with myself for finding this gem. The other book is called Food Security for the Faint of Heart by British Columbian author Robin Wheeler. The real test will come tomorrow when I go grocery shopping. I don't have a lot of money to spend on groceries so I have a feeling I will be at the grocery store awhile trying to figure out how to get what I need but still buy Canadian.
Haaappy boorkday! :D

Glad to see that the traveling gods and goddesses were with you on your multi-province trek across Canada. Good luck with getting settled in your new place, finding employment, and Project Noble Beaver.

*lmao* thank-you! :) I almost considered calling it the naked beaver but I figured most people would've mistaken it for TMI.
