Wordless Wednesday

Random Tuesday, school, baking, oh look weightloss

Hello and welcome to another Tuesday of Random sponsored/taken/pigging backing on Keely. Grab your button and get to Randomizing your Tuesday.



The hubbie has been jogging, both indoors and out. Indoors he's using the wiifitplus and the EA sports Active. I'm impressed with his efforts. I don't have that kind of confidence for the outdoor running. I've got to get my wii on today. I didn't get any done yesterday. how is it that a day of staying home? speeds by?

Well I didn't actually stay home the whole day. I went to pick up a package across town, stopped at the dental office, the post office and the grocerystore. I then got home, did some dishes, and laundry waited for boys to get off the bus. Forgot that middle boy had Judo, but he didn't so he didn't come home. It was -19C yesterday morning and -21C this morning brrrrrr! I got the homework nagged but no one moved. heheh so I made chicken pot pie from allrecipes site here ...  Chicken Pot Pie IX 
Some boys ate it all, some boys picked off the crust and one boy tried to negotiate PBand J after 1 bite.  It needed a bit of salt because I used salt free butter for the onions, and forgot to put the salt in the sauce. oops!

My friend with the cat that didn't seem to thin I should be stealing her poop? Gave me a bunt pan as a thank you for watching her cat. I'm kind of shocked, I didn't need anything that's just what friends do? I didn't say "no" I didn't want ot be rude. LOL

I've been walking again, aiming for 5nights a week, down 3lbs. (long way to go from here) I am also trying to not kill myself with that EA Sports Active. HOLY Squats batman.  Crazy. Will do it today.

(missing picture because it's just too dark, must get better setting at night)


I baked muffins today, chocolate chip. Unfortunately they are very good, and I've had 2. (they were the smallest ones in the pan)

I got a mug in the mail last week. I went over to visit Growing towards a Dream  and she just happened to be having a Vlog and give away that day. I watched (she's great in the video, confident you know) and commented. My comment got me entry #8.  Also she's in Canada so it only cost her 1 arm and leg to send it here vs US to Canada rates for all the rest of my bloggy friends contests.

Hubbie took the boys sliding this weekend. I didn't go, I was roasting chickens. The boys had a pretty good time. The battery though on the Camcorder gave out so there is no footage, I'll have to just get you to review footage from 2008? (I think)



I hope that code works again. It's from Feb 2009 actually. Brain doesn't always work when it comes to remember which days I post what, you know 2yrs ago.

Talked to my Sister today, my nephew who is almost 10months old has been working on taking his first steps. ACK!! She's comand crawling still. I think he's got a future in the army? She put me on Speaker phone and I'd say his name and he'd sigh you know that baby sigh then I'd laugh at the sign and he'd get out his big belly laugh. I'm so proud to be the auntie! Can you tell?

My boys are growing like weeds? I wish there was a way to stop all this growing up. (accept when they areacting their age and driving each other batty)


also for those waiting for Chair status... if there is such a thing.. and also there's more snow/rain mix coming tonight. This is good because then the -21C turns to only -2C you know about 30-upper 20'sF-ish

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
