The Dedication to Snow Living

I know that not all my readers are experienced in SNOWDOM so I like to share my Snow life. It happens every Winter here and every spring it melts. There has not been a spring yet that hasn't turned into HOT Blazing summer in all the years I've live in snow worlds. I've lived on the Island, in Central Canada (those to the far west call it Eastern Canada but really it just shows that they cut Canada off at Quebec...) and the North Eastern Coast of the USA. It's been fun. I have always experienced either Snow flurries, a Snow storm or Foggy Breath for my Birthday in November. I call it tradition. People look at me when I say "it always snows on my birthday" and try to point out it's not snow but really if you just blow a breath out? it turns to snow after the fog. I'll keep that tradition. Funny thing, when we were kids we used to pretend we were smoking? Our kids don't do that, you know because it's not really something that they "get", YAY for changing times.
  Some days there is too many mini dramas going on in life that I don't post but the snow? unless you don't have Winter Snow Tires? there is no drama.

Well there may be some drama on who gets to shovel it. First Snow falls typically involve some "me first" and some "I want to shovel"  in comparison to the later winter snow falls which involve. "I don't want to" and "ok no allowance..." (Mom wins, and points out 3rd time around hernia scar...it's all about the win... it is though good exercise) Last night I went walking in this, my walking partner wears glasses, she was blind by the time she got home. BTW that's 5 days of walking in snow this week.  I don't know that I could ever live where it didn't snow?

Morning Results Jan13th

The snow shoveling this year is going very well, it hasn't snow near as much as winter 2009, and the Chairs? they are fine, they are still basking in the sun.. well other then the storm yesterday

Jan12 storm starts about 3:35pm

And you know I'm dedicated to sharing these because this is how I captured this morning's pictures...

yep slippers... do not try this at home if you have snow

And you know who will have to clean this meltage up right?

So if that's not enough snow for you and talk of snow and slipping, driving, playing (we are going sliding this weekend I'll have to get some more video of the Hubbie risking life and limb on the runs), and abandon snow chairs?  well you can pop over to my other blog which seems to have turned into Morning views blog? ... haha  

First "storm" of the Season

In Stereotypical Canadian Fashion.


It's snowing.
My BBQ is still outside.
The boys will mostly likely be home tomorrow for a snow day.
The snow hasn't really started. Flake 1 and 2 have been sighted but I nothing since,and the cancellations have started on the radio.
Hubbie has been asked to bring home Milk, Eggs, Butter, and Bread, just incase of starvation, this never happens, it's just that well those things are empty at the moment.
The boys have a Christmas concert tomorrow, maybe.
Tuques and mittens, skipants and jackets are all lined up at the door for the mad morning dash to the bus, iffff there is a bus.
All cars have been snowtire ready for 2wks now. This is the most ahead we've ever been for winter.
The snow blower is tuned up, and the shovels are by the doors.
Deck chairs are on the deck vs on the lawn, see there's already snow out there from 3days ago, it's just not going to melt before tonight, but maybe if we get the rain too, it will all be gone tomorrow.

And GO Hockey, oh wait it's not Saturday so no "Hockey Night in Canada" tonight.

Update from my small help staff of 3 in the wii department, flakes 50-80thousand have arrived.

Bring on winter eh?

Happy Tuesday, or Random Tuesday or Randome<---- if you've been paying attention to my spelling mistakes Tusday. Go on over to Keely's and get yourself a badge.

Tuesday also means dentist, today child needs a spacer

Said Child is home "sick". I'm not sure he's THAT sick but I had to keep him home to keep other's healthy. i'm damn if I do and damned if I don't. I think for some reason he just likes being home? Why I haven't figured out.

I'm doing more reading lately then commenting, not enough hours in the day and besides, my virtual food is spoiling, at my virtual restaurant? not enough hours...


The snow came, it's still here since yesterday even with rain! BRRRRR!

Anyone want to buy an old van? not mine the "his" version? Old but great for mud runs.

I'm going to quit cooking real food soon it's just pointless, no one eats anything I make? The kids look at it and turn up their noses, so I'm going with the take it or leave it but there is nothing else attitude. I'll save a lot of time this way.

I got my hair done, it's only been what? 6months overdue? why does mom always come last?


Christmas? not ready this week either. Maybe I'll get more ready next. I do know where everything but the extension cords, are located. I'm thinking of not doing Christmas cards.

I've been doign these randoms since about May or June? Maybe that's enough of a Christmas year end letter?


I hate feeling rushed, today I'm rushed.

It's getting exciting here,

So it's mid to end of November here, and it's Getting close to US Thanksgiving. The neighbours to the south are getting all drooly over Turkey sites, while me little miss (hahaha I said little) Canada is up here thinking of all the things I haven't done yet for the end of December. I went to my WW meeting last night that's where I talk about my ass and it's size and where it should be and how it's not where I put it last week and so forth. I'm up 2lbs of Birthday goodness from that Holiday I Self Proclaimed for the 16th of November. oops! I guess that's what I get for bragging about my rings falling off? Maybe some good quality water drinking will fix it.
Today the boys have no school, who ever thought that having all the conference days for teachers during the school year was a good idea, should re-assess. There are grand scale discussions going on right now in 1 boy bedroom on the size and shape of a car track and his ability to make his cars go faster then they are rated for without falling off the track. I think he's telling everyone not in the room with his play by play. There are 2 boys in the living room discussing in elevated voices as only a 9yr old and almost 4 yr old can do, about how the singing on Mickey Mouses' 3 Musketeers is not as good at the shriek... I mean singing of some HSM peoples. I think both are wrong what we really need is a good low key dosing of White Christmas, ahh Bing you really do make life look so much easier. How is it that you set up a huge STAGE show in about a weekend while the rest of us struggle to with costume changes for the white that is about to fall at some point.
I was actually surprised that the white didn't show up Sunday, it's something I've counted on for the last 30++++++ years but nope none, it was rain rain rain. I'll have to find the pictures I took of the construction site in our back yard. If only my brain could figure out how to get the pictures from TJ's Camera on to My computer. I will figure that out.
