Wow, it's amazing how uplifting nice weather is.
Yesterday was a beautiful day as far as early Spring goes. It was fairly warm and the sun was shining. Today is also nice and warm, but not sunny.
The snow has melted incredibly fast! It actually looks like it's been raining nonstop because of all the melting.
Despite the nice weather, I'm stuck inside catching up on some sewing and ironing. Oh the excitement! ;)
I'm writing to you very full of chocolate! Easter was really enjoyable, but almost as bad as Christmas in terms of pigging out! My weakness is definitely any kind of candy shell "egg", they only come out once a year so they're so tempting!
I have to comment on this, because I find it unexpected. It's supposed to snow tonight!!! Anywhere from 5-10 centimetres. I thought it was basically done snowing! Oh well. I barely blink an eye now because of all it's snowed this Fall/Winter and now Spring!
Well, I should probably go for a walk or something in attempt to compensate for all the Easter goodies!
Well, the storm has finally ended but it's incredible what it has left! There's SO much snow piled up on either side of the street, onto the sidewalks, easily up to a full sized persons knees.. wow. This will take forever to melt..
Wouldn't you know it... in the midst of a huge snow storm! Read about it here: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080308/storm_warnings_080308/20080308?hub=TopStories
Thank god for my friendly neighbor and his snow blower, there is already so much snow on the ground and it isn't done yet! Will Spring ever come?!
I'm taking advantage of this time inside to work on some boring stuff I wouldn't normally bother with, haha.
I'm interested to see how much snow actually falls in these two days! 50 centimetres? PLEASE NO!
WOW! February is just zooming by! Well, it's not done yet, and there is one extra day because of the leap year, but still, time flies!
February really makes me want Spring to come ... NOW! Snow can be pretty, but it's been really dragging on for quite a while.
Umm..good news.. some really good sales in the stores going on right now! I guess everyone is trying to clear out all the winter clothes to make room for spring clothes. I can't even imagine wearing less than 3 layers all the time! Hahaha.. so damp and cold out.
Well what do you know, my birthday is coming up! That sure snuck up on me.. lol. I guess the plus is there's cake? Besides getting another year older.. that's always fun! ;)
Happy late February blues!
Wow, I'm finally back to business after a hectic holiday! Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, but I'm also looking forward to moving on and seeing what 2008 has in store.
Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday, spent time with friends and family, exchanged gifts and ate great food! Haha, speaking of food, it's definitely a struggle to get back in the swing of eating healthily with no more treats! But it's definitely for the best ;)
As for weather, it has been very cold, especially with wind chill but no signifigant snow. I'm sure we'll have enough of that stuff in the early spring (spring? seems more like winter!!!) so I'm not too anxious, ha ha.
I just disassembled my christmas tree this morning, actually. It's an artifical one, so after a struggle I've finally put it back in its cardboard box and away in the basement, waiting for next December! The living room corner looks so bare without it!
I've got to run some errands (mainly getting in some real food :P!) so I'll be off.
Happy New Year 2008!
Well, the snow has finally begun!
I looked out the window at around 10 AM this morning to see snow steadily falling with a generous amount already accumulating on the ground! It snowed steadily for the rest of the day.
I must admit it looked very pretty and peaceful, though it is annoying to shovel the stuff!
I've been doing some Christmas baking... shortbread, spice cookies and some other treats! They all smell and look so delicious but I've saved the majority for Christmas day. Ah, to resist indulging in order to indulge on Christmas Day!
Well, the forecast calls for some flurries tomorrow! It's been snowing quite frequently for weeks now but we've yet to have any major snowstorm, we'll see if this time is the one!
Today I gathered some songs to compile a Christmas music playlist! I really love the jazzy, retro Christmas songs so I've got a great collection to listen to now for the holiday both on itunes, ipod and I burnt it to CD for the car. The artists include Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Kay Starr and some others. All really amazing singers and fun songs! Christmas doesn't seem to be Christmas without the classics.
As my activities online.. browsing around hopelessly drooling at various electronics, clothes, shoes and accessories I'd love to find magically in my stocking! (haha). I also really enjoy looking at flick and the beautiful photographs such talented people share with the world everyday. In ways I really feel lucky to be able to see these beautiful photos, without the internet I really would be much more in the dark. If you aren't familiar with flickr it's a photo sharing website made by Yahoo. As well as the basic snapshots it's got LOTS of more creative photographs as it boasts many wonderful amateur and experienced photographers. And of course you can share your own masterpieces! I really recommend you check it out if you haven't already: Flickr
It's getting late so I should be getting to bed, I'll keep my eye on the weather tomorrow!
P.S. Can you believe.. only 17 days until Christmas! Where has the time gone?
