From a Distance

From a distance................the world looks white and grey ♫

Monday - John says - The snow is going to start any day now - tell Gordie we need that bloody electric shovel back
Tuesday - John says - They're calling for snow - I need that bloody electric shovel back
Wednesday - John says - Have you spoke to Gordie - where's the bloody electric shovel?
Thursday - John says - I have a feeling we'll never see that bloody shovel again

I call Gordie -
Gordie says - Hello?
Mom says - Hi sweetheart - John says we need the bloody electric shovel back
Gordie laughs - Tell him I'll bring it by after work tonight
Mom says - Oh good - because John thought we'd never see it again
Gordie says - Tell him I sold it to a farmer in Siberia

The snow fell Saturday night..................
A lot of snow fell Saturday night.................

Suzan says - It's snowing pretty heavy out there - you should move the cars so that the snow removal service
can do the driveway
John says - I have no idea when they're coming - they're all over the place here
Suzan says - So maybe move them now - that way you don't have to think about it ...............
John says - Nah, I'll do it later.............

The snow removal truck has come and gone - and our cars are buried in snow.................

John says - Great now I have to dig the car out to go get coffee
Suzan says - Take the electric shovel
John says - It's easier to just use the regular one.

Suzan says - You could send someone to the BLOODY insane asylum - I swear to God John

We're in the midst of a blizzard here 

Suzan says - WHY DID YOU WANT THE ELECTRIC SHOVEL BACK THEN?
John says - Well you never know when you might need it ..................

From a distance - safe in the upstairs office - shaking my head in disbelief

You can't even see where the street starts - it's pretty bad out there - but at any rate - we have the electric shovel safe and warm in the porch - because hey - you just never know when that particular item will come in handy.

and now I'm about to put the bedroom together - as best I can - because I can't take sleeping in this room anymore................which is basically wall to wall bed -

which will ultimately be the guest room - so if any of you plan on visiting - bring your claustrophobia meds!!!!!!!

I just brushed on the final coat of paint on the floor - so happy I went with gloss - it look so pretty with the reflection of the window on it :)

I need someone to build me a window seat - for free - and who ever is willing to do that I would let them come play in the snow for a weekend ...................any takers?
I didn't think so

A dresser will most likely sit in front of it for now - temporarily you understand :)
Maybe I'll just sit on the dresser with a good book  ( like a Buddha - facing the outside and scare all the neighbors half to death )

Stay tuned for the reveal - woo hoo - you get to see a bed and a dresser LMHO

Have a wonderful day all!!!

Missing Body Parts....................

It's cold in Montreal -
I'll tell you how cold later on in the post - because I'm afraid you'll pass out if I tell you right away.

Remember I told you all how I was going to borrow some space from the mud room - create a built in space for the fridge?

The mudroom is NOT insulated - nor is it heated ( which would be redundant I guess since it's not insulated, so when you open the back door in the kitchen, you're basically outside ( covered but outside )

John says - I've been thinking ( very very dangerous ) that your idea for the fridge is a lousy one
Suzan says - WHY?  I think it's a fantastic idea
John says - Well you're just going to have a hole cut out on the kitchen wall and plunk the fridge there?
Suzan says - WHAT???
John says - That's what you said you were going to do
Suzan says - Do you think I'm spending all this money on our little chef's kitchen - and THEN I'M GOING TO JUST HAVE A HOLE RIPPED OUT IN THE WALL AND HAVE A FRIDGE DANGLING OUT OF IT???????????
John says - That's YOUR plan - I wouldn't do it - it's nuts - it's going to be freezing in the house...............

Now I'm not going to blame him entirely - it's so cold here - this has to be a case of brain freeze - he can't seriously believe what he's saying.

Suzan says - I'm having an INSERT built John - and INSERT - which will be a finished nook - a finshed AND insulated nook - for the fridge to sit inside of.
John says - NOW that's a good idea.............

How cold is it here?  It's freaking unbelievably cold
as in -30 celcius with the wind chill factor ( - 22 fahrenheit )  This is normally something that happens in January - not December.  And although the house is warm - every time I look out the window I feel cold.
I went downstairs to make a cup of tea and sit in front of the fireplace.............

Suzan says - Why is the fire off?
John - standing on a ladder painting - says - I'm sweating my ( insert male body parts here ) off
Suzan says - You don't have to be so vulgar about it - ( John is the least vulgar man I know - except, I don't know, in the last year or so he's pulled off some real zingers )
I didn't bother telling him that I'm freezing my ( insert female body parts here ) off

If you happen to see them while you're out for an evening stroll - please return them to
Prince Edward Street - you'll know the house - it'll be the one with the hole ripped out of the wall with a fridge protruding from it :)

There'll be a reward.

Thank you.
