Here's what Momma does for a living

...well, this is what she used to do.

A big part of my job for the past few months has been writing articles. I was the Managing Editor for a new external e-newsletter. I researched topics, interviewed visa officers and refugees, hired photographers, and wrote articles. I also managed the entire back end of the project: all the techie stuff as well as the giant bundle of red tape that needed to be sorted out. I was told that my articles were good, and I was really looking forward to my project seeing the light of day.

My brand-new newsletter was ready to go out, when I was told that it was put on hold, perhaps indefinitely. It is a long and tortured story, so if you want to know the details, you'll have to ask me in person.

Luckily, I had applied—and was hired—for a new job. So do not despair: I won't be out on the street!

While the newsletter is almost a distant memory now, some fruit of my labour remains. I had the opportunity to work on Success Stories (a regular feature on CIC's website) and write this article. It may be propaganda of a sort, but it's well-written propaganda, don't you think?

We're in!

The furniture is all in, my family is all under one roof, and we're even almost done unpacking all the boxes. We're home.

Derek is busy putting the final touches on his thesis, so the computer is prime real estate right now. But I will catch you up on all the fun things soon (including adventures with Bell and our party-line... I wish I were kidding).

Pictures to follow. Stories, too, I promise.
