Friday Confessions!

• I confess that I need Spring to get here! I'm tired of winter and snow! So far, we have had about 280 cm (110 inches) of snow! Not a record for us but it is still a lot! And it's still so cold out there!

• I confess that I want to buy every single nail polish I see on the internet. Too much choices!

• I confess that I'm so proud that the surprise party for my boyfriend turned out so well!

• I confess that coffee is like my best friend. 

• I confess that I don't like the way my hair looks right now. I had a hair appointment 2 weeks ago and my hairdresser didn't do my highlights the way I had expected her to do! 

• I confess that I still watch One Tree Hill and I enjoy it!

• I confess that I think time flies too fast, way too fast! How comes it is already mid-March?!?! Please time, slow down!!!

Any confession to share???

Happy weekend!

Want some burgers on the BBQ?

January 2012

I don't think so!!!

We have had that cheap BBQ (only $89) for the past 3 years and despite 3 snowy winters, it's not broken yet! It was definitely a good investment ha! I hope that in the spring, it will work!

Happy Wednesday!!!

Thoughts on Tuesday!

• It's official: my boyfriend will pursue a MBA this semester! He got in! And he will also be working full-time at the same time! He got his bachelor degree in engineering almost 4 years ago, it's weird to think of him as a student again!

• The past few days were very very cold! 

• Gingerbread Spice Tea is my new favorite thing!

• Jillian Michaels is back in my life and she is kicking my butt!

• I can't help but judge some people sometimes. Sorry. 

• All I want to do today is to stay in bed and hide from the world. 

• I have received an unexpected amount of money yesterday and it totally made my day!

• My grandma is 87 and she knows all about Facebook and Twitter. I'm shocked.

• I got my hair done about 6 weeks ago and my roots are already horrible. My hair grows so fast! #whitegirlproblem

• It's only January and we have so much snow! I have shoveled for an hour this morning to get the car out of the parking! Take a look at our backyard:

Our backyard in summer (August 2011)

Our backyard right now (January 2012)
Our BBQ (on the left) is totally covered in snow!!!

Any random thoughts to share?

At 6:30 this morning...

I was outside shoveling a lot of snow!!! It snowed a lot over the night (about 35 cm) and it's still snowing right now! I have shoveled for an hour and a hour later, you can't tell I have done anything! Crazy! I guess I don't need to workout today, shoveling is a real workout, my arms are so sore! It really feels like winter!

This week is a short week because on Thursday, after lunch, we are heading to Québec city for the weekend! My boyfriend has an appointment for a MRI in a private clinic on Friday and this is why we are going to Québec. Here, getting an appointment for a MRI at the local hospital takes about 6-8 months (though it's free, thank you Canada health system)! Because he is going to a private clinic (it took him only one week to book an appointment there!), he will have to pay for the MRI, but insurance will pay back 75% of the cost! So that's not too bad! We will be staying at his cousin's house and we are also going to do a lot of shopping! I really miss those big malls!!!

So, this is our Menu for this week, we are keeping it pretty simple:

Monday: Tacos
Tuesday: Spaghetti and salad
Wednesday: Spring rolls and chinese noodles
Thursday: Subway (on the road)
Friday: Surprise meal at B's cousin

So, what are you cooking this week?

Breaking News!

Spring will never arrive here... There is a bad snow storm again!!!

I feel like I'm repeating myself, but Mother Nature is not being very nice with us! ;)

(This is not my parking but it looks like that! )

I'm so sad... Like some of you may know, I moved 2 months ago to my hometown... And in my hometown, it is a different cable and Internet supplier... I am in shock... I don't have access to TLC here, I'm so sad, no more Say Yes to the Dress and Four Weddings !!! I do have access to HGTV and Slice (the same kinds of channels, but it's Canadian channels) but it's not the same thing!

Happy Thursday to all of you!!! 

The weekend is almost already here! 
Yay for short weeks!!!

Happy Easter Weekend!

Easter weekend is finally here!

I'm looking forward to spend time with the family, to have dinner with them, to eat some yummy chocolate (!!!), to do some shopping (yay!!!), to enjoy my time in Montréal! I just hope the weather will be nice! (Because right now, it is still snowing! A lot of schools were closed yesterday due to the storm! Dear Spring, can you come to town please?!?! I want to see pretty flowers and grass!!! Right now, I'm seeing white snow! 6 months of winter is too much!)

* * * * * * *

I'm being soooo hungry these days, I can't stop eating! I eat healthy food of course, but I'm always hungry, I don't seem to never get enough! I don't know what to do! I'm blaming it on birth control pill!  But I do know that coffee is not helping me, it's making me hungry, I know that! I'm a coffee drinker, I need that to work well! I guess I will have to eat more vegetables for snacks!

* * * * * * *

Tonight is the 4th playoff game between the Canadiens de Montréal and the Bruins of Boston! I'm cheering for Montréal of course!!! They lead the series 2-1, yay!

Have a great Easter weekend everyone!!!

Snow Snow Snow...

Yesterday was April 17th. And what happened in that mid-April day?!?! A snow storm! A big one!!! I'm talking about 40 cm (16 inches) of snow! So guess what we did last night? We shoveled all that snow in our parking and the stairs! (we have a snowblower, thanks god! Not the best in the world, but better than nothing!) Despite the shoveling, the car got stuck in our parking and B had to call his friend Mart (who lives just 2 houses away!) to get some help! The car finally moved!

But this morning, things were not good! The car got stuck again in the parking because over the night, there was another little snow storm! I think that winter is here forever!!!

So, here we are, on April 18th, with a ton of snow in our yard and in the streets!

This is totally me, last night!!! Hahaha!

Menu Monday!

My menu from last week worked pretty well!

Here's the list for this week:

Monday: Spaguetti with homemade sauce, salad on the side

Tuesday: Souvlaki-pitas

Wednesday: Chicken (with honey and garlic marinade) with vegetables on the side (carrots and bell peppers)

Thursday: Tomato soup with turkey panini

This is a short week because of the long weekend! Friday, we will probably go on a little trip to Montréal to see my brother! Not 100% sure yet, but we will see!

Have a great week everyone!!!

Miscellaneous Monday

We are having a big snowstorm right now! Big snowflakes are beautiful! It's supposed to snow something between 25 cm and 35 cm, so it's a big one!  I will probably post some pictures of the storm later!  My sister was supposed to come home by airplane but she is stuck North! And my parents are also coming back today, I just hope the road will be fine, they have a 8.5 hour ride to do!

The boyfriend returned to work this morning, so we can't go for a ride in the woods, that's too bad! We sure will this weekend!

* * *

As some of you may know, my boyfriend moved to our hometown a few weeks ago for his new job and I will be joigning him in March. And we just got good news! Our apartment in Québec city had been rented for March 1st! (so we don't have to pay until June 30th., the end of our lease!) Our official moving day is February 20th because it's the only time B's step-dad could help us move with his truck. My employment contract ends on March 1st, so I will have to stay at a friend's apartment for a couple of days,because our apartment will be empty, it's hard to live somewhere with no refrigerator or oven! I should be back in our hometown by March 3rd, I think!

And we got another great news! Instead of renting an apartment in town, we have the opportunity to rent a town house (for the same price yéé!)! B's friend is moving with his girlfriend in her house and we will be renting his house, at least for a year, so that's great! We will paint at least the living room and the dining area, I can't wait! (The colors are very ugly, the walls have not be painted in probably 15 years!)

Happy Monday to all of you!

First snow!!!

When I woke up this morning, there was snow all over the ground and it was still snowing! I just love the first snow of the season, there is something magical about it! Big snowflakes are so beautiful! I can't wait to put  on my snowshoes and go for a ride in the woods!

Here's a picture of this white morning!

Happy weekend!!!
