Too Much Snow Thursday & Hubby are you out there!

Well the storm has passed and the sun is shining and the clean-up has begun. It's been a slow process, as our snow blower is kind of a baby one & needs to take breaks now & again. I went out to loosen some snow so hubby could then come by with blower & blow it away. Not sure exactly when we'll have the driveway opened up to the street or even when the car will be able to get out. And as far as clearing a path to the front door goes, well forget about it! Who needs a front door anyway! 

Hubby are you out there?                                                                                                                            

Ups & Downs & In Betweens!

Good News, the shiny brand new kitchen appliances finally arrived! Not So Good News, the kitchen range has a ding on the door panel & someone has to come by and replace it  & also the old dishwasher wasn't originally installed with a proper shut off valve, so installing the new one has created a bit of a plumbing headache, no nightmare! Pics of the new appliances coming soon once they've all been properly installed and the kitchen is all tidied up. 

Easiest way to get rid of the old dishwasher was to toss it out the patio door onto the deck Fridge wasn't quite as easy to remove since it didn't fit through the patio door. Good thing Dear Son came by to help get it out the front door. Received a post card from Efficiency Nova Scotia & apparently they pay cash to remove old appliances like fridges, freezers & air conditioners so will be getting a little bit of cash for our fridge & freezer! And I'm sure the new ones will save us a ton of energy too!

Here's a before pic of the dishwasher pre winter storm! Yes we are expecting another storm! 

And here's a pic of it in the midst of the storm which is not over yet!

On another note, here  is Penny Lane hanging out with her new toys from the Target closing sale. I think she is happy with our finds!

  

Too Much Information

Back has been bugging me a bit, probably from walking home from the gym with my backpack carrying everything but the kitchen sink. So part of my workout routine today included hanging out in them massaging lazy boys at the gym. Was gonna take a selfie hanging out but I'm pretty sure taking pics at the gym is frowned upon and considering those chairs are situated right across from where management & staff hangout, I thought I'd forget the selfie. 

But here's another one I thought I might share. So maybe too much information for some but this is what going to the bathroom now looks like! Good thing hubby knows photo shop & was able to photo shop the hair off my legs. Never been a fan of shaving legs; it's kind of up there with ironing and in the winter the shaving of legs is one thing I avoid like the plague! Makes my legs super itchy and makes me want to scratch my legs till they bleed. So unless absolutely necessary no leg shaving until spring! Would appreciate any tips/secrets to help avoid itchy legs in winter! 

On another note, should have asked hubby to photo shop  me a fake tan on my legs so I actually look like I went somewheres warm this winter! 

Tried out a new route walking home from the gym. It's more scenic and off the main drag with less vehicle traffic. Thinking it might be a quicker way home, but hard to judge on a day when the sidewalks were like an ice rink. It was great to have a day or two of plus temperatures, sunshine & melting snow but when all the melted snow freezes up overnight, it creates super treacherous walking conditions. 

Came across this poor stop sign on the walk home. I reckon, a snow plow got the better of it. 

Wordless Wednesday

Please Let It Not Snow & Orange Is The New Black

Please Let It Not Snow I Think We've Had ENOUGH

I've been hanging out in PJ's the last few days well more like lounge pants. Must admit all this snow makes you feel like hibernating and with all the blowing & drifting snow it's not really advisable to go anywhere unless you really have to. Although I would have liked to have gone to the gym today, it's not like I really have to go. 

And weather like this is perfect for indoor projects which we have no shortage of. Just cleaned the kitchen ceiling fan/light fixture which we just took down. That one will be going in our master bedroom in place of the existing one. And as I speak, hubby is trying to figure out how to best hang our kitchen pot rack. 

As we were driving down the highway the other day, I noticed that a lot of folks, mainly guys were driving in their cars with orange safety jackets. Got me wondering if everyone around here works for the city. Well yesterday in my neighbourhood, when some made an attempt to shovel out their driveways, they were all wearing orange safety jackets too. Does everyone here really work for the city, is it law to wear orange safety jackets or is it that Orange Is The New Black? 

Guess I know what to buy for hubby next Christmas!  

Just ventured out to check the mailbox down the street. Ah yeah right, wasn't about to climb over the mountains of snow and I'm sure Canada Post didn't either. The mail will have to wait for another day!
