Abby’s painting, I’m sewing on her dress. Its wonderful. However I feel the need for background sounds. I don’t want TV. I want music. Damn you broken ipod dock clock thingy! Sadly I have no music on my computer either. So I’ll just have to listen to the quiet sleeping house and the random chatter of my daughter.
(yes I know all you cool people can listen to music on...

a hat for a bunny, not a bunny hat!
I googled how to make a hat for a bunny. All it brings up is how to make a bunny ear hat or how to pull a rabbit out of a hat! That’s not what I asked Google!!
So my partner in the Terribly important SOB swap has a bunny. She likes to take pics of it. See:

I need a book to read. I just finished this one called Before I go to Sleep. It was good. Like a creepy version of 50 first dates. Ok wait its really NOT like 50 first dates. Except for the fact that she has amnesia and only looses her memory after she falls asleep at night. It was good. I recommend it.
I have alot of books on my “to read” shelf on shelfari. But I don’t...

Google Chrome you confuse me. You tell me that movie is spelled wrong/not a word. What? Also you seem to think I should spell words like favorite as favourite. I’m not Canadian. I may be in Canada but I spell things American. Ok. So your not the boss of me! (unlike Ipod autospell. it may be the boss of me!) Can we get a few things straight here? I don’t use U’s randomly in words....

Sherlock where for art thou?
What am I missing here? i cannot find Sherlock playing in Canada yet. I find old episodes (season 1) but not season 2! What the heck. I cannot find it. I know I’m missing out. and it makes me sad!

I’m never going to finish season 1 of merlin. Today I attempted to watch it during nap time. I was half way through when Benji woke up, figured out how to open his door and then proceeded to come downstairs (with Abby). ugh. I just want ME time! Just ME time! UGH! (I’m not sure I entirely believe Abby that Benji opened his door on his own! She might have helped him with it!)
I have...

The other night I went to a girl’s night. We watched Warhorse. It was good. I was the only one in the room who knew who 2 certain actors were. I was also the only one who shuns the twilight movies/books. (though I still love my new friends….) I tried educating them though on fine British men! I tried.
I came downstairs right now to sew. And hopefully watch some Merlin. I am soo...

I want to be sewing though. ugh. want to work on at least 1 pair...

ugh that was a quick fix!! I guess the intake thingy got clogged. Well our landlord told us to make sure they were clear at all times from snow, which we of course did. but didn’t realize it would get clogged up INSIDE too! So now its fixed!!

heating guy is coming in 20 minutes!!! ugh so excited!! But now I have to go outside in the cold to shovel a path to the door. Cause that would be pretty important, right? There is only like a foot of snow in front of the door. nothing big…..nope. hopefully I don’t loose any limbs doing this! ugh. cannot wait for heat!!

now waiting for heater man to come do his magic! Kids are wearing their warm thermals that my dad got them for Chrismas! So thankful for that! Its like 50 degrees (Farenheit) inside right now. but feels so much colder. probably because of the cold outside. So incredibly annoyed right now. Still haven’t reached the damn landlord. thankfully her real estate agent is going above and beyond and...
Heater isn’t working!!! So cold right now! Another -30c day but now with no heater! Oh and we can’t reach our landlord either!! Me= cold and pissed!! Ugh
Designing a tangled themed hoop for a swap I’m in. I really wish the printer was downstairs so I didn’t have to go up there to print stuff! I also really wish I had photoshop or something. I miss it! I used to have it but not anymore! (super sad face). I don’t even have gimp right now. that means I’m doing everything in…..word. yup. word.
but I did manage to finish...

snow days
I was going to let Abby go outside and play in the snow (its snowing alot right now! So much that Abby has an actual SNOW DAY today from school!!)
However I decided to check the temp on my ipod real quick before I got her bundled up. Its -30 C! -30!! For reference -40 is the point where its -40F and C! So -30 is pretty damn cold! I’m thinking that I will not be sending her outside...

sleep
I’m not a morning person. Really its just the getting out of bed part that is hard for me. Especially when its cold. Which sadly is always. So when small children wake up earlier then expected I just pull them into bed and try to get 20 more minutes of sleep. This isn’t a problem on certain days (when hubby is already at work or isn’t home from work) but it is a problem when...

Things I’m tired of:
Having to unsuccessfully body slam the door in the morning so I can let the dogs out. Why do I do this? Cause it keeps freezing shut!! Also my less painful option of the hairdryer BROKE!! So body slams in the morning! Sadly the body slams usually do nothing but give me bruises.

movie suggestions
songbirdstew replied to your post: Movies for Abby
I started watching all of those before I could walk! Has she watched any Fraggle Rock or Looney Tunes yet?
She’s seen some Looney Toons when we went to my father in law’s for Thanksgiving. Not really a HUGE fan of Looney Toons though. No real reason. I think I’m just over protective sometimes. As for Fraggle Rock- nope. We...
