Hallo hallo! Welcome to my brand new blog. And welcome to my introduction. Soon enough, I'll follow up with updates and observations and such regarding not just my quest for official Librarianhood, but also differences between life in Canada and life in California. There are many, most of them minor, few major, but all interesting (to me, anyway).
Here are the basics for anyone who doesn't already know what's going on: I met a dude on the internet (playing City of Heroes, actually) and eventually decided to travel to Toronto to meet him and another CoH friend. It went so well that eventually I decided to try to move to Canada to see how it would all work out. I'd been thinking about leaving San Diego (my hometown) for a while anyway, just to try to get out of my rut, so it wasn't as crazy an idea as it might sound at first. Also, I've been working in libraries since I was in college over 10 years ago, but never really had any formal library education. I'd also been thinking about going back to school to remedy that. It was my mom's suggestion to combine the two, and it turned out to also be the fastest, easiest way to legally move to and possibly work in Canada, albeit temporarily.
So that's the story here, in a nutshell. And, away we go!

It pleases me for some silly sentimental reason to be reading this posting by my first-born child on Mother's Day and to be able to tell her semi-publicly how special she is to me.
Toni, I loved the time we spent together as you prepared for this move, and will miss you all the more because of that time. You're going to have a wonderful life up there and I'm very happy for you.
And I'll get the rest of your stuff up to you eventually. You read the magnet: "It's not an empty nest til they get their stuff out of the garage". With that in mind, I don't think I'll ever have a problem!
But I will still miss your company, your good sense and your eclectic sense of humor.
Thanks for the WebCam and for being such a uniquely wonderful daughter!
Buh!
Keep us posted!
You're more than welcome to come visit us and to check on your daughter's madcap Canucklehead life, ma'am!
Toni,
You crazy Canadian, it all looks beautiful. The view is amazing from the pictures, so I can only pretend to imagine how breath-taking it must be from your standpoint. I'm very jealous of you. (Hell, it sure kicks Mentone's ass!)
I'm also happy for you. It seems you've found your place, and your path. Effortlessly, as always. You are an inspiration and a wonderful hero, big sister.
I'm saving my miles, so I can come annoy you and meet prince charming (and annoy him too, no doubt.)
Congrats!!!!!!
Ps- I'll race you to grad school!
Pps-I just want you to know that this is not only the first time i've written anything on a blog, it's also the first time i've ever even read a blog. (I've never been on myspace, either- oh the horror!)So, consider yourself honored. Nobody else has been important enough for me to bother...
