p.s. I'll start Dec 1! 

It now looks like winter!

It's been really cold off an on lately.. so it'll be -5 (-10 with wind) one day and then up to +6 the next! Because of that (I'm assuming) we have "freezing rain".. which doesn't make a whole lot of sense as a term if you ask me!

Anyways here's some pictures of what it looked like when I woke up! It was sunny and everything was sparkly cause of the ice, but by the time I had breakfast and took pictures its clouded over, at least in the front of the house!

Can you see the ice coating the branches? It looks really pretty, but probably isn't very good for the trees! I hope they're hibernating already!





On another note, the other day when I was walking through the park to the bus "they" were putting up the ice rink in the park! We didn't get a chance to see it last year cause by the time we moved in here everything was starting to melt, but apparently there is a skating rink made in the park over the winter! And also this year they're getting lights for the park/rink! I'll take some more/better pictures later when I take my camera out with me!

Something yet nothing

Today Simon and I put up the Christmas lights! Simon did most of the work but I was there making sure he didn't fall off the ladder!

I feel like I did nothing today, but that's probably just cause I didn't really do any homework.. uhoh! I made some cookies and traded some of them for an egg from Sophie; I made muffins, with the egg from Sophie; Simon and I also did the dishes and washed the kitchen floor together!

Now time to sit on the couch and watch the amazing race and maybe get some bits of homework done on the commercials!

Maybe I'll get more homework done tomorrow...
hehe!

What I've been up to...

Homework, lots to do!

Can't wait for semester end,
Then more time for me!

This semester has been pretty crazy! It's been about 2 years since I've taken 5 courses in one semester! Even working the meager 10 hours a week takes its toll! Hopefully my few weeks between semesters (and one week at home.. in BC!) will recharge me for my craaaazy last semester! Next semester I'm taking 6 (yes! 6!) courses so I can graduate in April!!! There even another course I would looove to take, so I'm considering asking to take 7... And I obviously won't be able to work next semester. That's okay with me!

Anywho! In the few and far between times that I shirk off my school/homework duties, I end up in the kitchen! A couple weeks ago I was in the grocery store and noticed these huge heads of cabbage for really cheap, so I bought a nice big one! It sat in the fridge for awhile cause I had no time to make time-consuming food, but I finally made Cabbage Rolls!! mmMMmm!


These ones are to freeze for lazy lunches/dinners...

and these are the ones we ate that night!

Cheap winter veggie,
means food for Simon and me.
Tastes just like mom's did!

That only used about half the head of cabbage, so last night I made Borscht! MmmMmm! It was just like my mom made when I was growing up (except I used pork instead of beef cause I don't eat cow!)



Borscht, borscht in my tummy,
One bowl for me, two for him.
Fresh biscuits go best!

And finally... drum roll.... I made apple pies with the apples from Quebec city, because they were starting to get soft/mushy and needed to be used asap!



One large one to eat.
Made from imported apples :p
Four small ones to freeze.

I really want to get started on Christmas crafts and Christmas shopping! I would normally have my shopping done by now, but school has taken precedence! I have managed to order some things online so that saves me from going to the mall!
