Boring me...

So, it's 1 am, I know that no one is reading my blog anymore. I know I'm boring. Sorry. Between having to help Andrew every morning (very early), feeling sick, and being completely exhausted all the time, I just am not feeling creative enough. Please don't give up on me, I'll get there soon. Andrew's got the computer at work again all week, so maybe I'll get to something on the weekend. Sorry I'm being so dull and disappointing!!

Guess What...

This entry has been posted by both Hubby and Me!

Hubby's out of commision

I apologize for being a tease. I have good reason...

Hubby plays hockey once a week. This Tuesday, hubby decides to get tripped by another player. He falls on the ice, slides across the ice, and barrels into the boards on his side at full speed. HUBBY BREAKS HIS COLLARBONE (for the third time)!!!

So, I had wanted to post before Tuesday, but couldn't get up the energy 'cause I haven't been feeling too great. Then, Tuesday comes, and I had to take care of Andrew. So, now, he's sleeping, I've got a crap load of dirty dishes covering the entire counter and waiting to be washed. I decided blogging and catching up on some much needed computer time was more important. Then, I will go and watch my Thursday night shows and find myself doing the dishes until the wee hours of the morning. Oh, well! Relaxing and me time is also much needed today.

So... if I don't post for a while, it's because I'm being mother, doctor, nurse, wife and babysitter for hubby : )

ps I wanted to post a picture, but Andrew would not let me take one (he says I've embarrassed him enough on my blog). I tried to get one of him sleeping, but couldn't use the flash for fear of waking him up and it's too dark. Oh, well... another time!

The restaurant on the bridge

Zig's post reminded me... We took my niece and nephew here the other day. We were the only ones in the restaurant (that should have been a clue), which was good for the kids, 'cause they ran around like crazy. Service was bad, we got one water at the beginning and she never came back to give us more. The food was greasy (expected that) and she forgot to put in my order of fries, so I got them when I was already finished my sandwich. The kids wanted donuts, so we waited, and waited, and waited... Finally, I had to stand up and make a point of staring at the server so she would come over. It still took a long time to even get the donuts (which appeared on one plate - two kids?). Also, two groups of people came in while we were eating and waited to be seated (never were) and left again. I knew that Winnipeg never should have put a Salisbury house on this bridge. Hopefully they'll do terrible and have to change the restaurant that's there. Oh, the view was not as good as I thought it would be, either. Whatever!

Apparently...

I am Supergirl

Lean, muscular and feminine. Honest and a defender of the innocent.

I'm definitely not muscular and lean, but I'll take it, if I get to look like that...

Snow

Or as some would call it "Schnee". Someone will have to clue me in on that one...

So, we were supposed to drive out to the lake for New year's. Hubby woke up on Sunday morning, got ready to go to church (which probably ended up being cancelled), went outside and realized he wouldn't be able to drive anywhere, so he shoveled for the next 45 min. I woke up half an hour into his shoveling to utter disappointment and thoughts of beauty and wonder...

I can't take credit for that pic, it was hubby!

So, we stayed in all day and relaxed while thinking how beautiful it must have looked at the lake with all that snow. The in-laws came over for a bit in the evening, and then we went to my sisters for a few hours to ring in the new year. By then we could at least drive on the main roads to get to her place. My other sister actually had to walk there and went in her snowshoes :) So, all in all, it turned out to be fun. The lake will have to wait 'till summer...

Another Yum, Yum!

I know I've been a terrible blog tease. Many reasons - here are two:

1. We've been crazy busy doing stuff with family, friends and working on the house.
2. I feel totally creative challenged and figured it was better to not write anything, than to write something completely boring!

But, I did promise another recipe, so here goes...

Popcorn Cake (simply marvelous)

Melt:
1 cup butter
1/4 cup oil
1 pkg. (500g) Marshmallows

Add in a big (by big it means really big) bowl:
16 oz. baking gumdrops
1 1/2 cups peanuts
24 cups popped popcorn

Mix all ingredients (I suggest pouring the melted on top of the other stuff)
press into angel food cake pan
Let cool for at least one hour

Here's a tasty pic:
