Cream Cheese?
We’re out of cereal at home so I stopped at Tim Horton’s this morning.
My windows are frozen shut so I parked and went inside.
I ordered a large hot chocolate and a sesame seed bagel, not toasted, with plain cream cheese.
When I went to the other counter to pick up my bagel, the lady was standing there with the cream cheese scooper full and asking where I wanted my cheese.
Huh?
Turns out the teller only input ‘plain cream cheese’ and didn’t put the bagel order in….
I got a free bagel to carry my cream cheese in 
Snow
Looks like it is going to snow a lot from now until sometime into Sunday. Does anyone have any local Ontario forecast inside information they want to share so we can plan our drive? Right now there is a warning for the approaching storm but it is only from Hamilton and London and south.
We have the biggest flakes falling right now – very pretty – although I can’t see too far, there are a lot of them falling.
The forecast here for Monday is +9 and rain! 88|
No more dreams!
No more dreams in the last couple of nights! YES!
Jeff came home last night and we exchanged our Christmas gifts. He spoiled me!! He gave me beautiful diamond earrings that I can wear on our wedding day! 
He also gave me two books – one I had been asking for and another book that looks really interesting – the story of Oak Island, NS – some sort of lost treasure or hidden gold story – I can’t wait to read them both.
One of the things I gave Jeff – well I guess he’s not getting it now because it was from eBay and some >:XX outbid me with 2 minutes to go and I lost it :no: I’m so sad. It was an old barometer in the middle of a small ships wheel and it had the SS Montrose on it. I had all the history of that boat printed and was so excited. There were no other bids or hits on the page.
I also got him one of those units with 60 little drawers on it for storing screws and nails and other doo dads. And I got him a Jeff Foxworthy daily Redneck calendar. And a Montreal Canadiens portable thermos mug (that he picked out). And some chocolates. AND in just 8 more air miles, I’m cashing in all the air miles that have been earned on my card in the last 5-6 years and he’s getting a little stainless steel fridge for his workshop downstairs!
Yesterday at work, they had a coffee break in my honour with a cake and cheese and crackers. A few people said they really hope I come back after we get married (..uhm, like where else am I going?)
Tonight is going to be a crazy night. We have 101 things to do before we leave tomorrow. Jeff wants to leave at 4am and drive all the way through without stopping so we miss the snow coming on Sunday. I do not want to load the truck and leave at 4am, so I guess we’ll see if I get left behind.

Nope
Nope, I did not make it up the driveway tonight.
Maybe 1/3rd of the way up.
Sigh….
Another one!
I had another bad dream last night. Mom hadn’t made my hair appointment, no one was helping me, the wedding was hours and hours late. I was looking at the mop on my head and wondering if I could fix it with a curling iron. Someone had stepped on the edge of my dress and it had ripped loose a long section of beading and it was hanging and you could see big hard chunks of glue that used to hold it on. And to add a twist, I had a baby the day before, I think his name was Max, but I left him all over the place, and it wasn’t until Brian asked for one that I realized I hadn’t bought diapers for him and he was soaking wet – he was wearing cute overalls though. Jeff was no where to be seen. Amy and Sarah sang a song as I went up the isle (in some church) and after the ceremony everyone bolted and didn’t stick around.
Sheesh. I hope Jeff comes home from Halifax soon. I wish I had Friday off – it seems like I should be packing one of these days. I’m most afraid we’re going to forget something crucial out here in NS.
It’s snowing lots right now – mild again. If Buddy doesn’t clear out the driveway today I might have to stay down on road level. It’s supposed to keep snowing until Friday and tonight we have a wind warning for 90km/hr winds.
Hey, you wanna hear about a bad dog? I came upstairs from tending to the pellet stove last night. Monty was standing on my desk! Not just 2 paws, he was totally standing on my desk, tail near the computer, head near the other monitor. I knew he’d freak out and knock even more off if I yelled so I peacefully walked over and lifted him off. He is a total kleenex freak and I think he went up there just to eat a kleenex. Bad dog.
Oh no! Is this going to start now?
I had a dream last night that it was an hour and a half to go to my wedding. My mom had her hair done, but she hadn’t brought me to the hairdresser yet. I had nothing ready. So I got stressed and ripped all my nails off In the dream… they are still on my fingers in real life.
Did you hear what happened to my foot? We are trying to eat our way through our cupboards and freezer so we didn’t have to buy groceries until we get back. On Sunday night Jeff grabbed a big huge can of pork and beans out of the cupboard. I was standing at the stove and put my hand out. He thought that meant I was going to catch it. I thought he was going to pass it to me. It came flying through the air and I moved back – I thought, “oh no! The tile floor! The can will smash the floor!” so at the last second I put my foot in it’s path. It hit the top of my foot. It hurt so much I ran to the hallway and was face first on the floor crying crocodile tears. I now have this big goose-egg on the top of my foot and isn’t fitting into shoes too well.
But don’t you worry – in case it doesn’t go away, my wedding shoes are open on top so they’ll still fit 
Second Job
I have accepted a second job for 3 months – I need to put in the equivalent of at least 3 days a week (7.5 hours/day) and I will get paid much more per hour than I get at the library.
It’s working at home for one of my old bosses. I guess I’ll be giving up most of my free time, but then I can pay off all of our wedding debt (I hope). It may also lead to additional work in the next government fiscal year.
Gotta do what I gotta do!
(have I mentioned how much I HATE fingernails?)
Jeff is gone to Halifax again this week. I’ve got so many last minute wedding things to do before we head out on Saturday morning. Friday is supposed to bring more snow so hopefully it doesn’t hold us back.
Now what?
I knew this was coming:
Mountain Equipment pulls water bottles off shelves – http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20071207.wcoop07/BNStory/National/home?cid=al_gam_mostview
But I kept drinking my litre of water everyday at work out of my nalgene bottle.
If they aren’t safe, what is? Back to glass? What do you carry your water in ?
Photos From the Driveway
I snapped a few photos while Jeff was cleaning off the truck yesterday morning before we went into town. Yesterday it was mild and melting. It’s back down to -9 this morning.
Jeff’s outside playing with fire – he is burning some paper and cardboard (that or we wait until Jan to put it out for recycling – nah – it’ll burn). I slept in (it’ll probably be my last chance to sleep in for weeks!) Monty is walking around the house whining because he wants to be outside with Jeff, and Trooper is sleeping on the floor behind me. Zeus? who knows, he’s around here somewhere.
