We're going to Paris!

Sounds exciting doesn't it? Well yesturday Jacqui and I booked our plane ticket with Air Canada to go to Paris. We'll leave on May 22nd (2 days after the wedding) and we'll come back on the 30th. It's going to be very exciting. We were thinking that we would go in October but when Jacqui saw this deal we thought it was worth it for a few reasons:
1: It saves us over $1000 bucks on airfare
2: We don't have jobs set up after school and they probally won't be there on the day after graduation so we should go.
3: It ensures that we don't put off our honeymoon.
4: We don't have to go on a "mini-honeymoon" then take the real one in October.
5: The jobs we get will be happy that we don't need the time off in October
6: The hotel looked like they had a cheeper rate for this time of year
7: Wedding money could be spent on the trip (if Jacqui goes for it too) LOL!

The Trip there is a real milk run though. Saskatoon to Toronto... wait for a while...Toronto to Monteral...Wait for a little while... Monteral to Paris. Reverse that on the way home and it makes for a 24 hour trip each way.

We've booked the Hotel now. We're staying at the Hotel Saint Honore which is only a very short distance from the Louve. and is central to a lot of attractions and other things we want to do. Lucked out on the rate of about $100 bucks a night.

The picture looks like a nice little hotel. The insides looked nice and the reviews were good.


Now we're looking at airport transfers to and from the hotel and we're looking at a river tour and the hours and costs of the attractions.

Closer to home we're going to try to work more at the University to have extra cash as more money is always a good thing. I wanted to save up and buy myself a digital camera but I don't think I'll get one now unless it is a wedding present. So if a group of people are looking at getting me something I could use a nice digital camera. (I won't hold my breath)

More on the trip to come.

Our Trip to the Lake

Well we made it back from our vacation to the lake for a 5 days. It got really cold out there. Way colder then it was in Saskatoon. It got as cold as -37 degrees C (and that was out on the deck protected from the wind). It was much colder walking out in the wind to go to the outhouse.

I don't care what anyone says, when you have to go outside to take a crap or wizz MY minus 37 (plus wind) will beat your minus 37 (plus wind) anyday. Something about dropping your pants and feeling the wind whip up your backside from the outhouse or whipping it out in the cold to pee in the snow.

Anyways go over to Jacqui's blog (link on the right...that's it go over) and see some pictures that she put up of our trip.

It was a good trip, I got no homework done, Played The Sims 2 for about 12 hours this week and read "The DiVinci Code" (it was a good book). Now it's back to the grind of work and school...oh well, at least I have the Olympics to watch.

Jacqui's On the Interweb

Ok it's not the Interweb but Interweb is funny. I hear it all the time from people who don't know anything about the internet or computers. It's also from the Simpsons.

Anyways Jacqui now has a blog. It can be found at www.jacquiscool.blogspot.com . Now you're not really cool unless you say you are and Jacqui says she cool. Her Mom didn't say that she was cool though like my mom (ok well mom didn't say I was cool) but you get the point.

Gotta go. Jacqui just asked me to "Cook" her a Grapefruit. (meaning to cut it and prepare it because I do it SOOOO much better.)

Now you have something to put on your Blog Jacqui. "James is being mean to me."

Just ask the Critic

Unless you're Zack or Kerri, you probably won't get this but If I asked you "who's gay" you would probably not know to say "MacGyver's Gay." It's from the Simpsons. Well here is a priceless ad that has MacGyver in it as I think that you all should see it.

Ok now you can go and click on "Just ask the Critic" above.

The Couch Arrived

Well Thursday way the day. We got out couch. It's very nice and we enjoy it as it gives the room a whole new feel. Jacqui's dad brought his truck and we picked it up at The Brick and then brought it in. We thought that getting it down the ctairs and around the corner would be hard but it wasn't. We moved the futon out and then put the legs on the couch and took it for a test seat.

It's shorter than the futon but it is much nicer. Below is a picture of it in its new home.


Ok Zack now you can come over sometime and take a seat and hopefully your butt won't go numb. Happy?

In other news I'm working this weekend (no surprise there) but next week I have 4 midterms in 4 days so no one should bother me till friday morning as I'm not going to be the happiest person in the world.

New Look

OK I changed it from a black background to a while one becasue my eyes have been sore lately. I know I have to book some time with the eye doctor and it is easier to read black on white (look at newspapers)

Hope you can deal with the change.

Also did you see the new picture of Jacqui and I on the side. That was from Christmas.

I have also added a link to Jacqui's Friend Jane and her blog (hope she doesn't mind but it's a good link for me to read it too). Jane is a wonderful person who is as big of a Harry Potter fan as Jacqui is (who ever thought that there would be two of them).

Enjoy my changes.

Jacqui is sick

Well its not the greatest news around but yes Jacqui is sick. It all started when her sister got broncitius (sp?) and then probally passed it on to her. Well Jacqui hasn't been feeling well and I've done all I can to take care of her today while not getting sick (and not extending my own misery from being at the dentist)

Yes I was at the dentist. They worked on my bottom left side and did 4 fillings. It was a long process taking about 2 hours. It was neet that she used a laser to cut into my gumline to get to the bottom of a cavity. I guess only 3 dentists in Saskatoon can do this with only about 5 in Saskatchewan. It is interesting. It pops like a micro popcorn maker on speed. It was interesting but my face is sore still (and it's almost 12 hours later)

Well I better continue on getting my education and get some more work done before I go and sleep on the couch (if Jacqui's sick I don't want her breathing on me all night)

Guess I'll write more when I wake up or something...Night.
