I love him........

'Nuff said!

:)

Confused and fed up.

I am so confused by the scrapbooking group I belong to.......I took part in the February challenge...entered the Minnie Mouse Garden layout that I posted here a few days ago.......I didn't expect to win - there are a lot of talented ladies in the group and their layouts are wonderful.....

So today they announced the two winners.......so I go to the page to look at them and they are not there...not in the Feb challenge page...so I hunt and hunt and find them both in the January challenge page....they are both entries from JANUARY......

So now I am totally confused...do they judge the contest that closed yesterday - NEXT month? Or did they pick by mistake or WHAT?

The contest closed yesterday so I assumed they would pick two entries from THAT contest and announce them today because today they also announce the March challenge.....

I really didn't expect to win - I haven't scrapbooked in so long, but I would at least like to understand how they pick the winners and when....I was excited to see who had won today but am now just fed up....everyone is congratulating them - me too, but I did ask what it was all about because no one else seems to ahve mentioned it......

sparkly....

For those of you not in Canada, I hope this picture does the snow justice...what I love about snow here in Alberta is that it is dry and powdery....you can walk through it and not get wet....it dusts off...and on days liek today when the sun is shining just after a fresh snow fall, it sparkles like swarovski crystals.....

Hhhhmmmmm

Abby made this while I was in the bath this afternoon.......she can't decide if it is me or if it is Shrek.....

....If I wasn't laughing so hard I think I'd be upset about that comment ;)

voyage to the centre of the earth....

Thursday

Last night Lloyd and I went out for coffee......only to Tims......then we went to Sobeys for some groceries...it was a bit of a disaster really...firstly there was a smell.....in the bakery and vegetables section....like poo..............oh my goodness it was so vile and disgusting..I couldn't buy anything from there......in fact I couldn't stay there so I raced over to the other aisles away from the smell and Lloyd grabbed the bread and stuff...of course he thought it was hysterically funny because I was making vomiting noises.......NOT good.....

So I had no cakes oir bakery items and spotted the beautiful purple pyramid display of cadburys eggs by the check outs...so didn't buy cookies or anything because I knew I'd buy myself some cadburys eggs.......so we finish shopping and I go to get my cadburys eggs and the pyramid display is EMPTY!!!!!! How cruel is that? They tease you with the display and by this stage I don't want anything BUT cadburys creme eggs.......nothing else will do to satisfy me.....and there are NONE!!!!!

So of course I start sulking......

Lloyd offers to drive me elsewhere to get some but I am now all sulky and refuse to let him.........I am sulky in a silly kind of way so we weren't fighting or anything and he is teasing me about it but I was so so fed up....all I could think about was cadburys stupid creme eggs......

Oh well.......

Derek came back yesterday evening too and brought his little girl with him......he finished some work while she played with my children and watched Cars...she was very cute...she has a pretty and unusual name.....something like Avianda....but I have no idea how you spell it......very sweet little thing! Same age as Sam.

This morning Laurence is at home although he seems much better now.....he can go back to school tomorrow - which is good because it's his DARE graduation ceremony tomorrow.

I took Abigail to preschool.....one of the Moms has invited me to her Partylite party next Wednesday so I think I will go to that for a while.....she seems really nice.

I chatted to Abby's teacher for a while and then headed home.

Lloyd left me alittle note all folded up and tucked between the keys on my keyboard :)

So did anyone win the millionaire lottery last night? I should check our tickets because I haven't done that yet...wow I could be sat here a MILLIONAIRE!!!!

No doubt though if the winner was in this area they would have said on the news this morning......sigh.....

I am going to tidy up and then do some more to my paper bag albums...they are looking really nice already :)

again.......its snowing.

Its snowing again...it was snowing quite heavily this morning but now it is sunny and yet still snowing so it must be very thin cloud.........

But yep....MORE snow....

I went into the local store to get the Journal and the lady laughed and said she goes by what I'm wearing to tell her how cold it is....today I had my coat on so she guessed it must be very cold.....the other day at -4 I had a t-shirt on :)

I told her it was March and should be sunny with Daffodils blooming and she reminded me that the saying goes 'In like a Lion and out like a lamb' so because its cold and snowy today on the 1st of March, then by the end of March the snow should be gone and it will be warm.....

We then started discussing the Ground hog and whether he should be shot for being wrong lol!
