"You call THAT steak?!"
"You call THOSE mountains?!"
"You call THIS snow?!"
But for once, this is comparable to a real Canadian blizzard! It has been coming thick and fast for over 24 hours now. Slightly exciting! And compliments to the Limeys, who have coped surprisingly well, unlike last time it 'snowed' (for about 2 minutes, melted as it hit the ground) and people were stranded in traffic jams for over 8 hours. And my plane to Belfast was cancelled due to "unpassable snow on the runway".
RANDOM THINGS I AM THINKING ABOUT THIS WEEK:
~~The things people put in their baskets at the supermarket never cease to amaze me. I wish I had a job where I could reasonably interview people and find out why they are buying these items. Case in point: This Sunday, while buying ingredients for my steak and ale pie (yummy, thank you), the young university students in front of me had in their trolley:
5 boxes of Ferrera Rocher chocolates
2 packs of coconut milk
16 2-litre bottles of Nestea Ice Tea
6 loaves of cheap white bread
Tins of peaches and tomatoes
4 cheap air fresheners
Some baby cough medicine
What could they possibly be planning? Discuss.
~~I wish I was not so driven by whim. I decided today I wanted my hair cut and coloured. Now. But of course I can only get an appointment next week. I am now grumpy. I always do this. No foreplanning, just a sudden desire to cut my hair/book a holiday/get a new tattoo or piercing/cook an exotic meal/go to a local attraction I have heard about. And always, the attraction is shut (due to it being the middle of winter), the ingredients are not in my store cupboard (really, who among us has ready to hand 8 pounds of goat cheese, or whatever these things require) and more organized people have rudely and thoughtlessly taken the appointments I desire (If you are one of those people who take their diaries to the hairdresser, and book their next appointment while they are there, I mean you. Damn your perfectly planned lives)
~~In normal life, I am not a raspberry fan; give me strawberries any day. Yet, my shopping basket always has organic raspberry youghurt in it, and I had a personal crisis this week when they only had strawberry flavour left (I didn't buy it)
~~My laptop is back. Alas, not working. I miss it so much, and there are so many fun things I want to share with you guys (photos, videos, fun features) that I just don't know how to do on this Apple.
~~No comments from friends and family. Hmmm. Google Analytics has completely flatlined my blog, apparently I have had zero visitors for about 3 weeks now. I miss the little map the most, that shows you where people have been visiting from, and guessing who it was.
~~Neighbours is getting so good. It ended with a real cliff hanger today: Who is the real father of Sky's baby? Is it Dylan or Stingray? Will this ruin the brothers' relationship forever? Can I possibly wait until Monday to find out, or should I search the Internet to find out?
~~I want veneers and laser eye surgery.

A comment, oh sweet Jesus there is life out there! Don't worry Linds someone from Sexsmith is reading, thats right Alberta has crazy names for our cities too. Some fun ones I found closer to you are: Bird End, Rottingdean, Shoreham-by-sea, and Bogner Regis. Thanks Google Earth! I'm sure you could add some pretty good names to this list. Your blog is still giving me hours of entertaining fun, hmmm does that word look weird to you? Ciao for now, I'm spending my precious hours looking for places worthy of my hard earned money, I'm going to Edmonton next weekend and need to find house stuff, yipee!!!
I too am reading your blog, yet sometimes feel so lazy that I can't be bothered to comment. That is my bad, and it makes you feel like no one cares about you or your blog. Bad friend.
So here I write this, about nothing other then to say that I miss you girl!
I was scrolling through old picture from last year, and went to the 'photo shoot' Travis made of you, and DAMN you's is hot!
Take care of yourself in that snow, bundle up, and for gosh sakes do not cause a traffic jam!
It's a darn good thing they don't get more then one inch at a time there, or the city would be closed for a week! ha.
Love you babe,
just letting you know that I'm here and I miss you. I've checked your blog at least three times since you updated it, it's in high demand. You entertain me. Did I tell you I have a crush on Clark Kent from Smallville? It's actually Tom something or other, but come on, who wants to have a crush on a TOM? No offence any Toms reading this, it's a lovely name. Night Linds
