Snowy Saturday

There are huge lovely flakes falling down outside. Nothing like our neighbours in Ontario and the states below, but still lovely. I have to admit that we prairie folk often see the amounts of snow the eastern folk get, and we're a bit envious. Even my students "ohhhh that would be so cool to get that much snow". I know I know there are all sorts of ramifications that surround that amount of snow, but we do often wish for that experience.

I have nowhere I really NEED to be today. It was absolutely delicious to wake up late, and savour my coffee while curled up in my jammies. I watched a bit of HGTV and felt wonderfully lazy.

On the list today
  • a mess of laundry and cleaning.
  • a wonderful home made supper which I haven't figured out yet
  • tidying up the bill corner; filing what is finished; plans for those not yet
  • going over my Christmas budget- what I've purchased and what is left
  • making a list of what is left to buy, categorized by store to make for more efficient shopping
  • bringing in the tree and letting the branches fall. decorate tonight or tomorrow
  • 2 chapters of an Inquiry teacher reference book to read
  • plot out my Secret Santa gifts and which days I will give them.
  • sending DS1 with the baskets of paper to the recycling when he goes to ref hockey. the bin depot is next to the rink.
My buzzer is about to go. The house is wafting with the smell of fresh made cinnamon buns

Oh I do SO love Saturday mornings - I was in my favourite chair, reading the national post and drinking a coffee's from Timmy's by 8am. Had to drive DD to her job at 7:30am. I love to get up early on the weekend and stretch out the days. Laundry is going here too, and I'm cooking up a batch of quesadillos for tonight's potluck. Enjoy your day AND your snow:)

It,s Sunday morning here now and Hubby is rustling up something in the kitchen, off to see what it is. Have a great weekend.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, did you say cinnamon buns???? I think I'll do exactly what you did tomorrow morning! :)!

We slept in until 9:00 a.m. this morning, something we never do! Then I spent the day wrapping gifts and realizing I'm no where near done with my shopping! Ugh.

Great idea with organizing the list of what still needs to be bought and making a plan on the stores. I believe that is what I'll do tomorrow too!
