The first big snow storm of the year has arrived at my front door his morning.. they are saying 30 cm will fall…. we have about 5 already and it is only 8am and it is really grey and stormy looking outside so I almost sure that it will be more then what they predict…..
Xavier was supposed to go to daycare today but he is coughing a lot this morning and his nose is runny and well…. I don’t want to drive in this weather… So I called to say that we are staying home…. I don’t think that I’ll be the only one…

It’s now 2:30 pm and I had put this post aside this morning while I attended to Colin who came down with a high fever and just wanted to nurse and sleep in my arms all morning… I was right about the snow… My back porch which was snow free this morning now has about 40 cm of snow all across it and the car is completely snowed in so even if I wanted to get out it would only be able some major shovelling… I am really glad that I decided not to bring Xavier this morning…
Here are a few pics…
This is our snowman that we made last weekend….

This is him today…

This is how much snow has fallen since this morning… (the same hight as the the recycle bin)

This is the tree on the front lawn..

Colin turned the TV on this morning and we got a beautiful flash of light then it went dark…. leaving the behind the lovely acidic smell of burnt fuse ….

Our TV has been acting funny for a while now…. the lines that appeared on 1/4 of the screen when we turned it on and slowly went away when it warmed up just didn’t go away one day… making the characters heads in the TV screen bounce up and down upside down at the top of the screen…. Anyways… we got it about 6 years ago and it was already used at that point so it was going to die eventually….
I have to admit I do watch too much TV… but like someone already pointed out to me… my brain has already been developed so it doesn’t really matter how I waist my time… However, now with this laptop and my new site my addiction has definately taken a turn in a different direction.. However, even though I have no longer been watching TV in the daytime it is still on all day on the blue screen because we have a Dish and it is the only way I can listen to CJAD 800 my fav Montreal talk radio station (well I could do it on the net now too) and also the kids music station is a big hit….
Anyways…I got on the computer to check prices for now TV’s and a few seconds after I logged on my mom logged on to messenger…. I complained about how everything always happens at the same time (Simon’s glasses brok a few days ago too)….
Anyways… she then asked me if I would feel better I got a TV for Xmas! Of course I have to be responsable when buying it 😛 shucks…. my chance for a Plasma went out the window 😉
I checked out tons of sites and TV’s, compared prices and styles and finally found the TV I want… and of course it was out of stock at every Best Buy that I called in the area… Then I decided to try one last one and they have one in stock and I finally convinced them to put it aside for me because I don’t want to drive an hour to get there and then have it no longer be there… so I am on my way there soon…. Ahh the Joy of spending someone elses money…

I have been working on my new website for two days now and I am starting to go crazy…. Ya know when you work on something for countless hours and then you just can’t figure out what you are supposed to be doing anymore?
I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to things like this… I like when it looks good, I know that when a site looks good the results are better… However… the problem with this is that I have no idea what I am doing… I am self-learning and there is bad info everywhere that just makes me go half a step forward and then 10 back… Arghh…. Anyways… I decided to take a bit of a break today and get back to it tomorrow…
Hmmm…. Maybe a bit of Neverwinter will help me clear my mind…. 😉

I think my blog is finally ready to move over completely (which is why you didn’t have the choice 😉 _… I still need to get used to this new format but I think that I am going to have a lot of fun with it… The cool thing is that it mine and I can do what I want with it..
What do you think?.. what’s missing?
