Winter time!

When moving here, we figured out that it would cost us around $5k(USD) to ship everything we owned, versus the idea of spending something in that neighbourhood to simply replace everything we owned with stuff worth having. Much of what we had we got in 2001 when, unemployed, diverted to a weird city, and stuck far away from home we scraped by to buy for our tiny one-room apartment in Toronto.

So today was the Sears trip - the day to buy living room furniture, dining room furniture, and kitchen appliances. We went to Sears and it was a bit chilly. We left Sears to apparently a -27C wind chill, dusted snow blowing across the parking lot and 50km/h wind gusts.

We were *almost* dressed well enough for it, too. =)

Anyhow, the furniture comes on Wednesday afternoon and sometime after that we'll start inviting people over. Y'know, somewhere after we have somewhere to sit.

Well congrats for all the new acquisitions, it would be nice if you would share some pictures with us, I am curious about that furniture but mostly about the new Sears parts (http://www.geekoftheday.com/kenmore_parts.html). I need to renew my kitchen appliances and I think Sears would be a good option.
