    I am trying desperately not to stress out about who will take on our cats (and love them) while we are away. It's hard to think about our trip with excitement with this unresolved issue looming over me. I'm trying to look past it and believe that a solution will appear though.  I'm terrible about pointedly asking friends for favours though - I tend to sit back and hope someone offers.... which probably isn't going to work in this case.

    In the meantime - if anyone wants to spread word to their friends about our apartment sublet - here's the link to the ad: http://members.shaw.ca/WestEndSublet/

    In random news - Chris Hadfield, whose name I know from way back in the day when I thought I wanted to be an astronaut (ha!), is on the space station and has been posting photos via twitter which has been very popular. He now has a sizeable twitter following and has made more people aware of the fact that there's a canadian in space than most other media efforts by the CSA, I imagine.  Also, his photos are really neat.  The key to good social media is having interesting content!

    When procrastinating from more important things in my free time, I now search the internet for ballgowns to wear to the ball at the Imperial Palace in Vienna (Jan 2014, I'm planning ahead). These are the ones that I keep coming back to so far.

      I would go for a dress you could possibly shorten after and wear again. The red one above is really nice.

      that's a very good thought - should help me decide when the time comes (I have a pinterest board of about 38 dresses)!

      I would imagine subletting will be difficult for April just as the students vacate and you will need someone fit enough to walk up the 3 flights. Do they happen to have a dumb waiter for people on the 3rd floor to get their groceries up there? Or are all the tenants fit 20 and 30 somethings?

      I agree with Michelle on the red one. Dark colors stand out and look so much richer. Great idea to have the eye to shortening it later.

      I just love your apartment! Wish I could sublet it from you and play with your kitties for a year! Hope you find the perfect person.
