HALIWOOD

well it has been a week or two since i've returned to halifax, and things are slowly returning to the familiar.

not familiar in a bad way, but more so in an envigorating and rejuvenating way.

you know how most people tell you that you start to appreciate what you have only when it's taken away? well i'm here to tell you first hand that it's TRUE!!

i found that since i was living in maine, it was the small things i found myself missing. for instance, sitting in starbucks, going to chapters to peruse the new titles, trying out a new restaurant, going to the movies...you know, simple things that the people of this fine city (myself included) take for granted!!!

well i'm here to tell you that living in fort kent maine for a whole year has opened up my eyes to what was there in front of them the whole time.

will there be things i'll miss about maine? you betcha!!! my list includes

1. buying a quart of smirnoff vodka for 12.99

2. buying a 5 litre box of wine for 13.99

3. having a 24 hr irving across from my place that sells liquor till 1 a.m. daily

4. the 30 degree and sunny weather that occurs 5 out of the 7 days in the summertime.

5. not having to pay for cabs EVER, cause everything is in walking distance from my apartment. (even though i love my cabs...usually...)

6. the cute border guards that put up with us when we walk across the united states border at 4 a.m.

god bless america
