Spring Has Spru...Aw Crap!!

In case you're wondering where the heck I've been, I'm going through another of my blogging slumps. Let's see if you can figure out why!

Here are some shots I took from my front door about 5 minutes ago:


If you're having trouble figuring all that white fuzziness out, I'll give you a hint. It's snow! It's April 15th and after nearly 6 months of winter and a decent spring thaw, it's started SNOWING again! And there's more in the forecast!

Please excuse me. I'm off to stick my head in the oven...

Oh, I see you've now received the snow that we got yesterday in Alberta. Hey, we all must suffer in this together. You Manitobans think you're so hoity-toity what with your NDP government and all . . . well, you're not too good for Springtime Snow! Hahahahahahaha!

Pull your head back out of the oven....don't cause a scene! So it's snowing...you do live in Canada after all. I don't mean to rub it in but we have dogwoods blooming and we have been mowing for a month...You need to come south my friend! I'd love to try and make a Hillbilly out of you!

Well, I feel your pain- we are supposed to get lots of rain tomorrow and if it dares to turn to snow, I won't be responsible for my actions!

Finally, the snow is gone except for the shady places, and that really doesn't count. The ice is thinning on the lakes too. It's still pretty darn cool though.

Here's hoping you're done with snow now :)

I know, it totally sucks, it snowed here too, and I feel like "diving into the depths of despair"! Hopefully, spring will really arrive soon.

Step away for the oven as it will not be a pretty sight when the Captain finds you! YUK...where did that weather come from. Next year you need to make arrangements with all your blog followers that reside lets say south of Georgia and just move about until you think its safe to return to Canada. Sounds like a good plan. Have a great weekend. Jude

God - I hear you!!! This has been a particularly long one!

Why not put something sweet and edible in that oven instead, like a big tray of brownies?!

Hey, I have about 1cm of growth on some bulbs - it must be happening soon, surely, that Spring thing.

I love snow! It might have something to do with not living with it, though, lol. We have to drive several hours to get to snow, and it's only there a few months out of the year. But it's spring time! So I totally get why you're over the snow. I hope it turns springy for you soon!

Dang snow.

We'll probably get some. We tend to get snow showers in April quite a bit.

It wouldn't be so bad getting one last little snowstorm before the 80 degree temps kick in here! Of course, when it snows here, it only snows an inch or two and it's melted by the next day.

I'm Too Old for This @!#%

Between Christmas and the New Year, I decided to treat myself and subscribe to In Style magazine for a year. I like clothes and makeup and all things girly, so it seemed like a fun thing to look forward to receiving in the mail every month. And it is. But I have some complaints, and I think they have more to do with ME than the magazine. WHO?! : In my teens and 20's, if you named a celebrity--a singer, actor or anyone famous for anything --I'd have been able to pull up a mental image and a list of things they were famous for. Today, I flip open the pages of my magazine, see an actual picture of a celebrity with their name printed underneath, and I STILL have no idea who the hell I'm looking at! Kristen Stewart --hmmm...name sounds familiar...is this someone I went to high school with?! Judging from her youthful photos, I'm guessing not. At least HALF the people featured in this magazine elicit this response from me now. Apparently, I really need to get with the program...

The Luck Of The Irish

Image
As far as I know, I do not even have 1% Irish in me. The last time I looked into it, I found that I was 99.9% English with, I think, a tiny smidge of Scottish if you go back far enough. This, however, does not stop me from going hog wild on St Patrick's Day. I already have the beef marinating for my Steak and Guinness Pie tomorrow. This year, it seems I've cashed in all those lucky four-leafed clovers I found out back as a kid. In just over a year, I have won no less than FOUR blog giveaways! Blogging is turning out to be better than the lottery! Two of those giveaways I won this month within a week of each other. A big thanks to Nezzy for the fantastic $40 gift code at CSN Stores , which I gave to my overworked mom who has been playing nursemaid to my dad after his knee replacement surgery. At the risk of making a sweeping generalization, anyone with a man around the house knows what it's like to look after them when they're under the weather. Am I right?! My mom dese...

Real vs Fake

Image
The Captain has only been gone 2 weeks. Already I've committed the ultimate marital sin. You hear stories about the things wives get up to while the husbands are serving overseas. The wife who moves a new guy in the minute her husband's gone. The wife who clears out the bank account and does a runner. The one who takes all his extra tour money and spends it on new shoes. I never thought I'd become one of those nuts who does something crazy while he's away. But I have. Yesterday, I bought one of these: Okay, fine. For the average marriage, this is not the ultimate sin. But when the Captain finds out, things may get a little heated. You see, the Captain grew up with a real Christmas tree in his living room every year. It's a tradition that is important to him, and one on which he will not compromise. I grew up with a fake one, so the idea of a real tree doesn't bother me too much. I admit, I like the gorgeous, fresh pine smell that fills the room when you bring ...
