Snow

Our church has a monthly craft night called Craft'n'Chat. I dragged my sister to it and this is what I got to create! Isn't it cute?

It just sits perfectly on the shelf in my office - and it helps me to feel a little bit less 'scroogie'. I've been telling my friends that I feel like scrooge this Christmas. I am not putting up a Christmas tree or any Christmas Decorations in my house- not one thing! My reasons are more practical than anything - but I have to admit - it sure doesn't feel like Christmas is coming! Last night I also got to lead out a few Christmas carol's for the ladies as an extra special surprise. I am sure that I am not the only one who gets these last minute opportunities. Christmas Carols always help it to feel a little more like Christmas. I realized last night how much I missed that 'Christmas Is Coming' feeling - so this morning I changed my radio station to 'lite 92 FM - Regina's official Christmas Station' and things are looking a little more cheery today.
I say 'Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!'

Husbands & Car Starters - Not Alway's The Same Thing!

I am amazed at the lengths we, as Canadians, go to in order to pretend that it is now winter. How many people do you know get fake tans in winter? Go to 7-11 for a Slurpee in winter? Wear Sandal's and Shorts in winter? I have to admit that I used to wear Sandals practically all winter in high school... anyone else wear their Berkinstocks in the snow?? How about BBQ in -36 degree weather??



Like I said - I thank God for Husbands!! My good husband Jon got bundled up to cook up some DELICIOUS ribs for supper tonight! Thank you sweetie! I think you know it was worth it too - there is just something about a BBQ that makes Ribs taste that much better, you know?



This was the view from my window at 8:35am!! In this weather I am sooooo thankful that I don't have to go out to start my car!! We have a remote starter that came with the car. Funny story actually - the people who sold us the car knew it had a remote starter... but thought that it didn't work the entire time they owned it! I think it's a gift from God because I've heard that remote car starter's for standards are VERY expensive - and there is NO WAY that Jon & I could afford something like that.



Anyone else find little surprises like that after they have bought something??
