* It was busy. And eventful.
* On Tuesday I came home and there was no water coming out of the tap... sooo how am I now going to make spaghetti?? There was a leak in the water main a block away. Luckily the water came back in just 30 minutes and dinner plans didn't have to altered.
* On Wednesday I came home and wondered to the girls why they were digging a hole in front of our house. Got inside and guess what?
Oh yes.
No water.
Another leak, this time right in front of our house. The water had been turned off just 30 minutes earlier. We needed to go to our miniature club meeting and dinner had to be served now. Great. Off to the store for lots of water (seeing as the water had been turned off for 6 hours the previous day) and microwaveable food.
When we got back at 8pm this was still going on:
OK, so it's a lousy pic in the dark through the window, but there are diggers there ;)
We got water after 10pm.
* If you ask me, I'll take no electricity over no water any day. Makes it a challenge when you can't even flush... eeewww...
* I've received not one but two miniature/dollhouse themed advent calendars!
I have itchy fingers...
*There was nightschool again this week... I srtill haven't done my psychology paper.. putting it off.. blech.
* Saturday evening I made a quick stop to the tropics.
It was our staff Christmas party and the school gym had been transformed with palm trees, bambu fencing, garden tables and chairs, parasols, and naturally a bar ;)
The food was incredible, there was a fabulous band, a funny stand-up comedian and a couple of bartenders right our of the movie "Cocktail".. they were pretty inpressive with all that juggling.
Fun night.
* Except for the bit when my neighbor called to tell me the city water peeps had been checking that same pipe in front of our houses.. it is still leaking.
* I left early enough, I was home by midnight, because on Sunday morning I had to be downtown for a miniature market.
Here's my table set up.
Small table, crammed full.. It was fun. Met some great people and chatted with friends. And found a few treasures as well...
* Mika picked us up because of this:
White-out.
Blizzard.
Really poor visibility.
I had no view out of my livingroom windows either.
* Looks like summer is over...
*Can you see I put my Christmas lights up outside?
On Saturday, before the snow.
Good timing.
* Hey, we have SNOW!!! Pretty pretty snow.
* It's apparently so cold that polarbears and pandas in igloos (I have no idea, don't ask..) have moved inside :)
* I'm home with TWO sick kids today. And will be tomorrow also. Niina has a tendency for really high temps, poor kiddo is wiped out. Saara is so congested, I can't send her to school. I won't be the mom who lets her kids make everyone else sick.
They spent the morning in our bed.
* I'm baking bread. Snowy days make me want to bake...
*No diggers around, yet.
Frantically washing laundry. For once wishing I had a dryer...
* I should be making dinner and shoveling snow... hmmm.. the snow just might win and dinner will have to wait for a bit.
* Did I mention I love the snow?
