let it snow.. let it snow.. let it snow..

November 22nd, 2010

we woke up to snow yesterday.. finally.. all my Canadian facebook friends were posting photos and talking about it.. and I was jealous.. Olive went buck wild.. her first snow fall was the hell’ish amount we received when she was born.. that almost kept the two of us in America for the holidays while daddy was stuck in Vancouver..  I think its safe to say it was the worst drive of my life.. 3 weeks after a c section.. with my 5 pound love child.. packed in 5 minutes for the holidays.. fearing I would die on the road.. with no abs..  so I can assume she did not remember a lick of it.. 

and than there was last year.. nothing! she saw nothing.. two snowsuits.. 3 pairs of mittens.. toques galore.. all not really needed.. but this year I feel like she will finally receive snow time.. sledding.. snow angels.. snowmen.. I am excited.. just the small amount that fell yesterday morning was enough for her.. she did not want to come inside.. 

nothing gets me in the winter mode more than snow.. we finally started our Christmas shopping.. I dropped the little fam off for naps and siestas while I went to Costco all by my lonesome! I was excited.. I didn’t even care that it was a Sunday.. I was dreaming of hot dogs.. Costco samples.. things I wanted to buy and how I would take my time strolling through the aisles.. I found a spot right away.. thank you secret.. and walked in.. than it all came clicking together.. I had no cash or American express.. I have been sent away many time before empty handed because I forgot.. and I cant believe I did it again..  I called Dust actually crying.. (pregnancy) and I was so bummed.. family free.. ready to spend.. and I couldn’t buy anything.. I walked back to the car.. and pouted in the cold.. it only took about 5 minutes to snap out of it.. and than I remembered that Pier 1 has also been calling my name for a while.. so I headed there.. where they take my debit card.. and made some purchases.. than forgetting I was with child.. headed into Bostons for a drink.. I quickly remembered.. and ordered a soda and an appy and talked to some friends..  I did snag this little gem though.. 

 

he is large.. shiny.. and a snowman.. all things I love.. I look at certain ornaments and know I have to have them.. like they are little orphan children that need me.. and I cant say no.. which is why I have bags of stuffed animals in my parents attic.. they have feelings.. and I cant throw them out or give them away.. yes I am 28.. and I have a problem.. which is also why I don’t like giving olive too many of them.. cause I will probably own them all until I die.. 

time to get back to my egg nog pancakes and hot coffee.. and a really snuggly baby.. 

yes please!
