Spring Snow...now seriously that is enough!

We woke up Sunday to a ground full of snow & buckets of it coming down! It was beautiful, but now I am ready for a little warmth & some pretty flowers:)

My Living Room Has a Dual Personality

I don't think that I have to say anything. The pictures speak for themselves. Eric can't wait to get rid of all the toys! I will not miss the paperwork hanging on the wall:)

Well, I never really have anything to much to blog about...since I do not have children , it seems like I just blog about myself & that seems very selfish...BUT, it is my blog I guess:) And it feels silly to have a blog and never write on it...so lets see. How about some randomness... I like all the posts of people's normal days! Those are so neat, I love seeing how other people do things! I also love it when some of you guys post recipes & pictures of the dish. Ummm! Eric & I were on a taco kick for quite a while...not so much now:) Mom says I've always been that way...I will eat so much of something that I end up hating it...ie..mayo...ugh! On the food note, I LOVE casseroles, but try not to make them often b/c I can't push away from them very easily. I have been craving brownies BAD but have resisted. Tonight I am making burgers & sweet potato fries...wish I was having brownies too:)
I will be doing daycare for approximately 6 more weeks & then I'm done. I have done this job for over 2 years...time for a break. I have had all infants most of that time! I DON'T know how you moms out there do it, I'm serious! Is it different with your own kids? I LOVE these babies, I really do, and I think that I am pretty good at it, but this is a hard job. People say oh, when they are your own it's different. All I can say to that is , if they were mine I would not be "free" after 4:30. Honestly, can anybody tell me honestly how hard it is?? I want to know the REAL stuff b/f I go down that path.I'm afraid that I am too selfish to have children. I can't believe I just wrote that, but it is the truth...I am selfish. And, how exspensive must it be!! Plus, I would just be heartbroken if I had a baby & it suffered from depression when it grew up or had some other physical problems that I have. I think I would adopt if I wanted kids...I think adoption is awesome. Good grief, I am getting into random things for real...I have a feeling I will end up deleting this post!
I think that this is enough of a post for now!

HORMONES!

I do not know what was wrong with me last week, but I couldn't stop crying & worrying! Oh my gosh, I must have cried for seven days:( It was terrible....seriously! I do struggle with depression, but I think that this was hormones. I'm not sure why I think that, but I do. Does anybody else ever do that? I felt hopeless & nothing helped. Then On Monday -it all stopped & I woke up happy as a lark. It may also have to do with the weather here b/c the sun came out on Monday. If anybody has any advice or has experienced this- feel free to give me your suggestions:)

British Columbia

Our weekend getaway to Victoria was way more fun than I had anticipated. I don't know what exactly it was that I was expecting, but in any case my hopes were exceeded:) The ferry ride over was initially a huge disappointment b/c the ferry was FULL to an uncomfortable capacity & Eric & I were separated for the entire 3 hour ride...not cool! I started to get really upset, but then I decided that it wasn't that big of a deal & I took a nap. Enough about that. We were able to check into the hotel early & upgrade to a room with a fabulous view. The hotel was a "green" hotel with beautiful white down duvets & tons of extra fluffy white pillows, oh and all of the bath products provided were Aveda. Anyway, the Aura restaurant was located downstairs & the chef was the winner of a prestigious chef award, and has appeared on the food network. We had a very yummy fruit sorbet from room service & a nice bottle of wine;) The breakfast-brunch buffet was out of this world, in fact, the word buffet does not quite do the meal justice. Buffet reminds me of Golden Coral, & that was not what this was! Anyway, lest you think that I am suddenly a millionaire...(I'm not!)...it is soo cheap to travel there right now! The round trip ferry for 2, and hotel plus upgrade was only $280! Very reasonable I thought. I would highly reccomend this little trip to anyone.

Christmas photo ordeal!

We make a Christmas card every year....with the dogs. This year it was quite a bit more difficult than normal because because I broke the good camera:( We had to use the old digital camera which, to our knowledge, only gives you 4 seconds to set the timer & get into place! It was hilarious. We finally got one, but it looks funny too! Hope we have a new camera by next Christmas:)
