Why is it.....

when I have a million things to do for Christmas AND I am on nights....we have a heavy snow fall warning????

Dear Mother Nature....SMARTEN UP!!!!!!!

Winter Has Arrived

Welcome to my winter wonderland!

This one was taken after we shovelled.

I had to take a shovel and knock the snow off the tree to get it out of the driveway so I could go to work!

I think it is time to think about heading to Barbados for the winter!

I Can't Believe.....

There are only 2 pay days until Christmas!!! I have a LOT left to do!!!

I'm Back!!!

Somehow I have managed to miss posting for over a month!! SORRY!!!

So what has been going on with us??? I'll try and keep this short:

1. Ashley was home the end of October (as you can tell from the Halloween pictures). It went way to fast as always. Victoria was spoiled rotten and is now looking for a drive to school every morning. Thanks for that dear lol.

2. My laptop died! Yes that is the main reason I haven't been on here. My husband was trying to use it then it stopped working. I blame him. It needed to be reformatted and it seems to be okay now. A minor in convenience but at least it's over.

3. I had my birthday...that's enough about that.


Well there is more I am sure but at the moment nothing is coming to mind...I will update you all soon.

Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Fun with Leaves

Victoria and I spent the afternoon outside the other day (before it got super cold) and made some fall friends for our yard.

Aren't the pictures cute??

Proof yard work can be fun!

Fall pictures will be taken soon!!! Stay tuned lol.

Men at Work! Well Sort of...

My driveway is fixed!!! YAY!!!!!

Since I am totally stupid when it comes to how they do these things, I chose to take pictures to show you all so you can figure out what then did LOL.

So I'm no expert but that culvert doesn't look healthy does it???

If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all!!

Anyone remember last year when I said the culvert at the end of my driveway didn't look healthy? Do you also remember how the Department of Highways said there was nothing wrong with it??

Well this morning it rusted completely through! The gravel we paid to have put over the driveway is now in the ditch and there is a rather large hole at the end of the driveway! The department of highways was contacted this morning and they told us there would be a new culvert here by lunch time. Well it IS technically here...however sitting on the front lawn was not exactly what I had in mind!

I have since been told that the men will be back this afternoon to take out the rusted piece of junk and put in the new plastic one. Weather permitting of course.

I will keep you updated on the process...although at this point my expectations aren't set very high.

New iPod?

My old (regular) iPod has gone to the big electronics store in the sky. It can't be fixed and I will miss it very much. I do still have my little iPod shuffle but it isn't the same.

I was looking at getting a new iPod nano. If (and it is a big if at this point) I get a new one what colour should I get??

Vote and let me know!

What Colour iPod should I get?
Pink
Red
Purple
Blue
Green
Yellow
Other? (post colour in a comment)

Mommy Bragging Rights

Victoria has gotten moved up two levels in her Jazz class!!! I am so proud of her! She has done so well the instructors recommended that she be in a more advanced class. She just turned seven and is in a class with 9 and 10 year old children! I am so proud. There are two other little girls that got moved up as well. Still I think this bragging right worthy!

Way to go Victoria!!!! We are so Proud of you!!!!!!

Congratulations Dad!!!!!!!

Today was the pumpkin weigh off in Windsor. In edition to the biggest/heaviest pumpkin class there was a perfect pumpkin class that was new this year. MY DAD WON FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!! He was crowned the winner of the perfect pumpkin class. He (as you can tell) is very proud of his accomplishment. LETS HEAR IT FOR MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY Dad!!!!!! Now the plans for next year begin lol

So my car is fixed....BUT now my bank account needs some first aid!

Well after a complete break job, replacing various miscellaneous parts, keeping my car a week at the garage and costing me $2600 dollars, I FINALLY have a working car.

I seriously need to take a second job to pay off my car bill. Did I mention I HATE CARS???????

The Word of the day is.....Obsequious

obsequious
(adj.) excessively compliant or submissive.

Are you FREAKING Kidding me????

Yeah so you remember the post from yesterday where I mentioned my breaks needed work??

Clearly they didn't fix them properly. Today I had a meeting out in Berwick, I had to be there by 9:30am. Well I started on my merry way, for whatever reason I needed to tap my break to slow down and the back drivers side break jammed on rather quickly!!! So I did some fancy spin and came to a very abrupt stop. Now the rear wheel on the drivers side won't turn at all. On top of being royally ticked I am a little sore after the incident too.

For the record

I HATE CARS!!!


Darling Husband, please come home soon before I loose my mind!!!!!

Car Repairs...The Saga Continues

My car decided to take another hissy fit! Apparently it needed new wires and plugs and some other obscure parts I had never heard of. NOW apparently there is something wrong with the back breaks. Seriously???

If Ashley were home I am sure he could fix the stupid thing, or at least know if this garage is ripping me off or not. UGH!

Seriously starting to think I need to move into my office and be done with cars!!!

Sunday Night Confessions

I confess:

• I got up late and was pushed for time. I ended up wearing mismatched socks to work. No one noticed but it was still uncomfortable.
• I had to stay late at work, again....we were short staffed (again)
• Victoria has a nasty flu....poor kid feels terrible...fever...cough...stuffed up...yeah the whole package.
• Ashely is too freaking far away and we need him HOME!!! Of course Victoria wants him and he's away...ARGH!!
• I confess I am to tired to finish this list....

For all of life's unnecessary dama

So without further adieu: For all life's unnecessary drama I present to you

THE DRAMA BUTTON

A Letter To Mr Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Guy

Dear Mr Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Guy,

I am sure you don't remember me but I am the sesame seed bagel (toasted with butter) girl whom was standing behind you in line and Tim Horton's this morning (I was the blond in the blue coat). Much to my dismay after receiving my order and leaving the store I discovered they must have switched our orders. Had I not been almost to Berwick (stuck in construction on the 101) when I noticed I would have alerted the "highly talented" staff of the error. On a side note I did enjoy your bagel. Hopefully my order was to your liking.

Sincerely,

Mrs Sesame Seed Bagel (toasted with butter)

Preview of more Wedding Pictures!

Hi!!! We have had a nice long weekend. We took in some local fireworks and a parade. Nothing overly exciting, but enough to keep us out of trouble. Here are some more wedding picture previews. I can't wait to have the rest to show you all!!!

Enjoy!!

Why do I even bother wasting my money on toys???

For whatever reason we had purchased a stupid number of plastic cups for something and the extra went to Victoria for her play kitchen. I left her out in the family room watching TV while I finished some things up in the other room. When I came back I found her playing with the cups. SHE DID THIS FOR HOURS!!! Remind me why we buy her toys???
