Migraines for the past few days, and they pop up at the worst times. Like when I'm in the middle of making supper, which resulted in this innovative idea of putting an icepack inside a toque so I could get the job done.
Just an up-close look at one of the solar lights that tops our fence posts. I really like the contrast between the white-blue light from the fence, and the yellow light cast by the streetlight in the background.
My plan was to cook up a romantic dinner for two tonight after the kids went to bed, but while we were getting them tucked in I felt the telltale signs of a migraine coming on. I was SO hungry though, and wanted nothing but the steak I had been planning on cooking, so as my vision returned I got cooking! It was a lovely date with my Valentine, finished off with a snuggle on the couch and a massage for my aching head. He's the best!
No this is not a mirror image, Clay and I really are geeky enough to have two Macbook Pros! We can frequently be seen geeking out beside each other in our living room on any given evening. We're not really TV people, aside from a few must watch shows (LOST and The Biggest Loser), but spend a fair amount of time surfing together.
We had our neighbours over for pizza tonight and they brought these beautiful cupcakes for dessert!
Spotted this snow creation while I was out for a drive today! Looks like the folks who built this are really looking forward to the winter games kicking off tomorrow - they had a huge Canada flag hung on the front of their house as well! I talked to the woman who lived there: she said this was their first attempt at snow sculpting and I'd say they did a pretty great job. It started out as a gigantic pile of snow, then they cut this shape out of it (it's probably 5 or 6 feet tall) and sprayed the colour on.
I don't get crazy involved with the Olympics, but I do enjoy watching some events and hoping that Canada will score some medals. Clay told me yesterday that we have never won a gold medal when the games have been hosted here. Wow! Hopefully that record will be broken as we Own The Podium in 2010!

I'm starting to think I should declare "Winter Wednesday" on my 365 page :) I usually get out of the city on Wednesday and take my time getting back while I search for beauty out in the country. Isn't this row of red bird houses such a beautiful surprise amid the white of winter? I am still laughing at myself running through the mid-calf deep snow in the ditch with my Chuck Taylors to get this shot :)
Reading a bedtime story with Daddy. I was taking pictures of them with baby girl in one arm and camera in the other. Oi vey! The things we moms learn to do with one hand :)
The boys were thrilled with a gift their Nona brought them from Montreal: hockey socks! They insisted on wearing them today, and I couldn't stop cracking up at Wyatt dancing around in them all day.
For the record, we are Oilers fans, but we're not crazy enough about hockey to care if the boys wear a rival team's colours.
