wednesday, 28 january - well it looks like a winter wonderland out there today, it's coming down fast and furious. it look beautiful, but i hate it! we shoveled the driveway and went out to do some errands and when we came back about an hour and a half later, we had to do it all over again and that's why i hate winter! if i could just hibernate like a bear til the end of april, i'd be fine, give me warmth and the beach any day, tell me why am i still living here! i need a vacation!!! ;)

wednesday, 21 january - well it's been awhile, but i haven't had anything to say til now. this morning i was speaking to my friend who lives in north carolina and she was amazed that i watched more of president obama's inauguration than she did! i turned the tv on at 10 o'clock in the morning on cnn and didn't turn it off til 11 pm when i hit the sack. i watched everything from the vips arriving, the swearing in, the walk down pennsylvania avenue, viewing the parade and finally all the waltzes at i think 4 of the balls. the amazing fact is that i don't watch any of the canadian swearing ins, of course i don't think there is that much pomp and ceremony up here either. they are such a lovely couple and i wish them well in their new home and their new life as president and michelle obama because i think he has a hell of a job to do down there!

friday, 16 january - brrrrrrrrrrrrr...another freezing day!

since the beginning of the year i've only gotten 2 layouts done and this is one of them. i was so happy to snap these photos, i just had to do something with them.

wednesday, 14 january - oh my god was it ever cold out there today!!! i had lunch with my friend in longueuil and we usually walk over to the 'chez cora' which is about a 15 min. walk, but today, there was no way i was going to do it with a temperature of -23 degrees, with a wind chill factor of -35!!! they are calling for it to be worse tomorrow and friday and no let up til next monday when it's going to start snowing, ugh, but that's winter in montreal!

tuesday, 13 january - i have been trying to organize my scrap room for the past little while (so that it would be more efficient) and for the last 2 nights while watching the first 4 hours of "24", i've managed to go through my 4 albums which housed all my rub-ons, borders & word sheets and i've managed to dwindle it down to 2 albums, so i have a whole pile of product to get rid of, yeah that's more manageable!

today i had lunch with my sister-in-law who i haven't seen for practically a year. we never dwell on the length of time between visits, but just enjoy each other's company when it happens. we had a sushi lunch and then we shopped for some earrings for her upcoming cruise for the captain's dinner. of course, guess who found earrings, and a ring!!!

sunday, 10 january 2009 - my very first post as a blogger!!!

i set up my other blog just to post my photos for a challenge we had on the scrapbook centrale site of a photo-a-day for the month of december. it was just easier that way, but it became fun and now i'm blogging, something i thought i would never do, but "never say never, eh!"

i don't know how good i'll be at this or how often i will write anything, but it might be a good way of sharing with my sisters and friends some of life's little pleasures!until next time, bye, bye!
