I just finished reading this article in The New York Times about housing. I especially find this kind of stuff interesting as I often foresee myself as a future home owner when Rick and I are no longer travelling. I have always viewed owning a home as not only a place to live, but as a way of making a major financial investment (as I think most people do).

Ever since we arrived in London, its no secret I've wanted to leap and frolic through the stores on Oxford street and buy all clothes and shoes and handbags in sight! However, there is a slight problem with this fantasy though....

a) Its impossible to leap and frolic anywhere near Oxford street since its the most crowded shopping industry I've ever seen - its so bad in fact, the city is planning on creating lanes for "shopping walking traffic." That's right - shoppers to the side where the stores are and people who need to get by closer to the street!

It's no secret I've been a huge Apple computer snob for the past few years. Together Rick and I own/have owned a slew of their products including a couple of iPods, iPhones, a few notebook computers, a keyboard, a couple of mice, Apple TV, etc. you get the idea - we love our Apple gadgets. I grew up using PC's and after purchasing what used to be my beloved black Apple MacBook 3 years ago (it was recently stolen from me), I swear I will never go back. I know, they say, "never say never." Hopefully one day I won't have to eat my words.

Today I was talking towards the tube station in my neighbourhood to go check out what the commute was going to be like for a potential job I'm being interviewed for on Friday. We'll little did I know I would be walking with sticky feet for most of the trip!
