a weekly thing, is this really turning into a weekly thing...

ack me, i get sooooo angry when the blogs i follow don't update every single day, and here i am turning into the weekly blogger! Ack me!
Okay things are crazy here, the snow is beautiful but making for a bit of a challenge in getting our christmas dinner off and running. Today Karen came over and we primed/made the stuffing dish to bake tommorow, the candied sherry sweet potats, and the desser of strawberry delight! YUMMY, such fun, especially when we didn't know if she would make it out here. thank goodness they plowed our lot and driveway so everything's good. In other awesome news, my ring is ready. For those following at home a little monkey who lives with me misplaced my beautiful engagement ring in augus, we looked into our insurance policy and we are covered for a new one so it has been in the works since sept and is ready! And i can't wait to see it, IF i get to see it! Jer took the car to work in hopes to be able to drive out there to vancouver and get it for me as we can't go tommorow because we are hosting christmas dins and then they are closed for 2 weeks after! Jer being the sweetest pie in the world thinks i should really have my ring for christmas! So keep those fingers crossed!
Hmmmmm what else, shopping done, sisters both made it in from TO and Calgary, so happy to see them, Jess's wonderful boyfriend Dave who has a 4 by 4 truck came and took cole and i to safeway yesterday since after digging my car out best i could during 45 minutes of coldness and it still wouldnt' go. I needed groceries for christmas dins and just regular life! so we are all set thanks dave!
We finished off the drama classes so I get a bit of a break until Jan, have two more singing events with ROCA, tonight is one of my faves... we get pulled in a haywagon through the streets of steveston whilst singing carols for the santa parade! Cole will be there with his buddy dawson and auntie caitlin and uncle paul and his dad too!
Now i must vacumn and clean the house before everyone gets here tommorow!

Wintersong

What a gorgeous monday. The snow lay there so fresh and crisp and the sun poured in our living room like nobody's buisness and i thought, this isn't calgary girl you gotta soak this shiz up! So out we went, bundled in our winter best. Cole and I walked the city today. We started out on the Dyke... breathtaking, snapped a few pics here and there, and chatted about the snow and the snow mans....made our way to the park, were one of two kids playing there, hit up the library, the thrift shop (my favorite store ever!) and then got a call on the cell from Adele and D to head over for lunch, so we walked another 40 to their home... had a wonderful lunch the boys chased each other around and played and then we walked the 30 minute walk home. It felt soooo good. To be outside in the lovley crisp winter air, and out in the sun too! What a great monday! Looking forward to a lovely week to come...
