Ben Kent’s House of Cheese

We are now the proud owners of a brand new Honda Civic. This is the first time we’ve owned a new car, but we thought we’d just take the plunge, considering that it wasn’t much more than buying a new Honda.

The picture is the same model and colour as the one we bought. It’s very nice to drive, and very unusual to be able to drive a car that isn’t thirteen years old. The added bonus is that I don’t have to take the bus in Sub Arctic temperatures any more.

Well, another week seems to have passed by since I last wrote anything. The main reason for this is life at the moment mainly consists of the following pattern…

Get Up… Go To Work… Eat… Watch TV… Bed (Repeat until fade.), occasionally a weekend will get in the way of this routine and you’ll have to find something to fill up the ‘work’ part of the day. This has not been easy since neither me or Mrs Teapot have received a full pay cheque yet.

So, I’m sure you’ll agree that this would not have made very exciting blog entries.

As I mentioned in my previous entry, we’ve been having a bit of a cold snap here in the Twin Cities, which is great fun when you have to walk a mile to the bus stop after work because you’re having to share one car. They don’t believe in providing proper public transport here, I think they think it’s a bit communist or something. It’s far better to drive around, one Hummer per person, killing the planet as you go!

Anyway, I promise that you’ll be the first to know when something interesting happens in my life; maybe I should start taking notes so I will at least remember what has been happening.

Well, I think I’ve bored you enough today, feel free to go about your business….

Ok, so we’re back in Minneapolis and we’re starting to get settled in.

We now have our computer back and an internet connection, so I’m going to try to keep this blog updated much more frequently.

The first thing I have to say about Minnesota is I’d forgotten just how cold it can get. It’s currently -20C outside, with a much lower wind chill temperature, so I don’t think I’m going to be going out today if I can avoid it.

I have my old job back at the place that I worked before, which is nice. I spend most of my time doing nothing, and just trying to look busy. They’ve even given me a pay rise. I think I’m now pretty well paid for an admin assistant.

Mrs Teapot now has a job too, so I think that once we start getting two pay cheques in, we should start getting a little more financially stable.

Not much else going on right now, but I promise to try to keep this blog updated more frequently from now on.
