five hours...

till mike gets home! you may be getting sick of me talking about him all the time...but i'm sure once he's back, i'll talk about him even more + i will lose all readers.

{...i really hope not!}

while he's been gone, we've had many skype dates - 7 hours being our record! ha!- and loooong facebook messages... 

i've quite enjoyed snapping screen shots during our long chats:

{he is my favourite!}
{we liked to take sneaky pictures of each other eating. here is him eating a mango. 
i am never showing you the one he took of me eating cornflakes!}
{he is so handsome!}

while he's been gone, i've also been writing up an epic list of:

"janis & mike's list of things to do in april & may"
k
since i'm planning on leaving for turkey early june (sent off the application today!), we have limited time to plow through the 40+ items. might have to carry some over into autumn! some of the items include:

1. take photos in the photobooth at the airport
{expecting to complete that one ce soir}
16. go out for crêpes at the frenchway
18. paint his house
{affectionately named "ruby" since it's on ruby ave...creative, i know!}
20. finish flight of the conchords season I
27. go on a tour of manitoba hydro place!
38. go dancing
41. order indian take out + eat in on the hardwood floors at ruby

expect photo-documentation of all of the above! yayayaya!

sincerely, an extremely excited janis roseanne.

ps. he's promised to do a guest post on his voyages to laos + thailand! it's going to be incredible!

  10. things to say:

    1) you and i are very much alike--my boyfriend and i have done similar video chats + screen shots when one of us is away (or even at our houses, separated by a few blocks) =D

    2) thailand? very cool!

    3) i love your list. especially #1.

    4) today (yesterday?...the 26th) was my birthday and i got a holga! oddly, i thought of you because i remember reading about when you got one. i'm so super excited. thought you'd appreciate. :)

  13. The romance between my wife (then friend) and I was re-kindled while I was abroad in Australia via emails. Its lovely to look back on now, but was so painful at the time.
