Christmas card
Hello Everyone,
So, our Christmas cards are being ordered and will likely take a week to get here. But we got a great deal on them and I laughed when I opened the proof. It's all very cute-like. To keep in traditions, they'll be New Years cards.
Jerry's off to Castle this weekend. It's opening weekend. He's super happy and I have the weekend to work on my report of the cardiovascular system. 1 report is on its anatomy, the other is on its physiology.
We put up our tiny Christmas tree to get me in the Christmas mood. It made a difference and I'll try to put up lights in the windows this weekend. And the tree looks funny because it's only 4.5' high and there are full sized ornaments on it. And a bacon wreath. Jerry picked it up. It's a minature shalaced wreath with the circle part made of bacon. There's also a ribbon at the top and a bell. But it made him happy to put it on the tree so I'm happy too. After all, I have a pissed off clothespin reindeer on there too. You know how when you do this craft in school and have to cut & glue the red felt smile on the clothespin? Well, I had glue issues and the smile looks like a frown. I still love that ornament.
Have a great day!

Furry Creature
Hello Everyone,
So, this weekend I made 2 big purchase. 1 that I've really needed for the past 2 years and 1 that's super fun. I have needed a long warm coat for walking to work. On Friday, The Bay had their coats on sale (for 1 day only) for 50% off. I got a fabulous ivory down jacket that goes down just over mid calf. It has faux fur around the collar and the sleeves have zippers so you can tuck your mittens in easily. I tried more practical colours but the ivory lit up my face and I giggled when I put it on. Then, I went to the big craft fair and got a furry hat. Faux fur again, but the main colour is ivory with calico pattern in it. It's helmet shaped, rather than touque shaped. And it has ears! Cute little triangles that make me all happy inside when I see my reflection. I'll need to take a picture.
I always feel so shlumpy during the winter. I dress for warmth and that doesn't necessarily mean glamourous. But I felt glamourous walking to the grocery store. And the coat is very warm too.
Last night I went over to SAIT as I needed to do a typing assessment test. They charged me $50 to do a computerized test that took 10 minutes! That's stupid! And yes, I passed their 30 words per minute requirement. My net wpm was 50 so that works out to $1/word to prove my speed. I could see $25 for the typing test licensing fee, the computer, and the girls sitting out front administering the tests but $50 is a bit much.
I tried deep water aquacize on Monday. It was fun and although I know my muscles worked, I wasn't really sore. I'm getting a membership at the local rec centre this week so I can start getting into shape. It's a 7 minute walk from home, I can play in the pool or do classes and there's also weights/cario equipment. And Akita helps to cover the cost.
Have a great day!

Whiskers' New Game
Hello Everyone,
Whiskers has a new game. It's called "Throw Mum's Keys on the Floor". Here's how it goes:
Mum sets keys on the couch because she's not organized enough to put them in her purse right after opening the front door.
Whiskers "happens" to be on the couch too.
Whiskers hops over to the keys and pushes them with her nose. They make a nicy jingly sound.
When Mum isn't looking, she picks them up in her mouth and throws them on the floor.
Mum sees her house keys on the floor. She sets them back on the couch so she remembers to put them away. She give Whiskers a pet for being such a well behaved bunny on the couch.
Mum turns around and...
