Yesterday was crazy cold! Just like it was in the good old days when I was little.

-30C with wicked winds that make it feel like -43C and exposed skin freezes in under 5 seconds.

Yup! This is what I woke up to yesterday and it will be like that all week according to the weather gurus.

Yesterday afternoon I was at Adam’s house and opened his porch door and held the metal handle for less than 10 seconds before I jerked away in pain. Let me tell ya, it felt like burning yourself on a hot stove except it was freezing cold! My hand is injured!!! Not really but it hurt for 10 minutes after I’m sure.

Today, a car was stuck in the snow drift that took over the central part of our parking lot. It had to be pushed out by 3 guys and Justin spent a long time trying to shovel a pathway around it because it would take too much to move it all. I took the back entrance to work and got stuck in a giant drift that was over 3/4th of the driveway. Dad had to use his vehicle to push mine out, bumper to bumper.

I know I’ve said that winter is not the same as when I was young anymore but I didn’t necessarily mean I wanted this… You know, a little more snow, a little bit cold but NO WIND. Hear me Nature? NO WIND!

There is a new Canadian Reality television program called The Week the Women Went that is airing on Monday nights on CBC. The show is about how the men will cope with the women of the town leaving for a week. The reason I’m so interested is because the experiement takes place in Hardisty, AB, where my friend Shauna’s family lives. Her parents and brother are on the show. It’ll be interesting to get the full background story on all the people and for me to give my opinion of what a regular audience member is thinking about her family and townspeople.

According to Wiki, the concept was from a BBC television.

A little while back my dad bought an iRobot Roomba. This little thingy is a self propelled vacuum cleaner. I've used it a number of times and it's pretty cool. The battery lasts about an hour. It has a ... [Continue reading this entry]

So the past couple of weeks were busy with the start of my DanceMoves class (2x/wk) and a couple of Stampin' Up thingys. I think I like DanceMoves so far although I didn't realize how unco-ordinated I was! I can not ... [Continue reading this entry]

Last night Charlene and I went to see the Oil Kings in action. They are the Junior team that plays at Rexall and their tickets are pretty cheap (although Northlands still charges you 10.00 to park!). We sat in row ... [Continue reading this entry]

And I hope you had a nice time ringing in the new year. It was supposed to be the best display of fireworks ever for Etown but at our party in RATT it was still the same to me. Maybe ... [Continue reading this entry]
