BRRR

Winter is officially here, can't say that I'm thrilled since I'm not fond of the white stuff. Although I'm actually surprised it didn't come sooner.

So far not much snow but plenty of freezing rain. Once again I am beyond glad I didn't have to be anywhere in particular today.

It's funny how when you are an adult you absolutely dread snow, but when you are a child you just can't wait for it to arrive. Ah, to be a kid again....

Thunder and lighting

Today is the perfect day for sleeping in or taking a nap lol. It's dark and very wet. Actually the dark part is kind of freaky. But we definitely needed the moisture after so many days of humidity.

And I know I said I would not complain about the heat (seeing as we had such a long cold winter), so I won't. Even though a part of me wants too lol.

I'm off to curl up in my nice comfy chair and watch the tube. I just hope I can stay awake during American Idol tonight lol. If I have the energy later I might do an update with some entertainment news.

At long last! (it's the long weekend)

Finally it is the weekend!. There was a moment when I thought this week would never end even though it was a short one lol. It's probably because very few people came in or called to buy and inquire about a trip.

So through no fault of your own you become a clock-watcher and every second feels like an eternity.

But now I have 4 days off and I am beyond ecstatic, that's 4 days where I can veg on the couch and just do absolutely nothing. Plus I get to sleep in another major bonus! :D.

I wasn't going to mention anything about the crappy weather we're currently experiencing, but I'm really not surprised so what the hell. I will say this it was completely frigid today.

Definitely not pleasant for venturing out anywhere. And it is going to continue to snow all weekend long.

I wish I could say that this is the longest record breaking winter but that would be a lie lol. We've had even longer lasting winters in the past, oh the joys of living in Canada lol.

Frigid day

Man, was it cold today!. I walked to the bus stop which is literally a five minute walk and I thought I would turn around and go back because, I couldn't breathe due to the cold air. From what I hear tomorrow is not going to be any better, guess I better bundle up like an Eskimo lol.

On top of that the day was slow as hell at work, virtually no one came in today. So I spent half of it on the phone and the other half forcing myself not to look at the clock every 5 minutes lol.

It's probably why I'm so tired it's funny how boredom tires you out more then actual work. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Now I'm going back to net surfing, the one thing I don't like about working in the afternoons is that it really doesn't leave you with much time for socializing or relaxing.

What a day!!

Could this weather be anymore crappy?. It snowed for half a day. Now we're getting freezing rain. Travelling tomorrow is gonna be a nightmare. I'm glad I got in to work just before it started coming down in buckets this afternoon.

Work was interesting I finally got to use the computer to look up some flight prices, the first half of the day was uneventful, but things got really crazy around 6pm. I just hope I can make it tomorrow. *Sigh* Will this frakkin' winter ever end?.

On another completely unrelated topic Martina Hingis lost to Daniela Hantuchova in 3 sets 3-6, 6-4, 7-5 in the quarters at the Qatar Open. Really surprising she was doing quite well and won the first set, she was even leading in the second then completely went out of the match. Guess she had another one of those strange mental lapses. It's really too bad because Hantuchova is someone Hingis doesn't have a problem beating.

Hopefully she'll do better in the next tournament.

Chilly day

Today is freakin' cold! so glad I didn't have to go anywhere. We're expecting snow later today and tomorrow so what else is new right? lol.

This winter is dragging on, I knew it would when we didn't get any snow in December but man am I wishing for spring!.

I haven't updated much lately because it's been kinda boring entertainment wise and life wise, so it didn't leave me with much to talk about.

Next week should be a little more exciting with the Dubai tennis tournament coming up Monday and The Oscars the following Sunday.

Winter is finally here

As expected, I knew this was going to happen absolutely no snow in December and now it's snowing like crazy. It's actually the worst type of snow, snow mixed with freezing rain that makes the roads very icy and dangerous.

Lets just say I am so glad I did not have anywhere to go today. What I wouldn't give to be in Australia right now:D. Speaking of, the Aussie Open is underway, so far there have been no big surprises.

Well maybe with the exception of Serena making it through to her 2nd round match, but if you ask me she only won because the other player kept giving her free points.

I don't see her making it to the end. We'll see how the rest of the week unfolds. I'm still waiting for Martina to play in her first match. It's a waiting game, in the mean time I'll be checking out The Golden Globes tonight.

White stuff again

Coming down in droves, but it looks like the non-stick variety due to the size of the snowflakes. I know it's November and it's to be expected but I want it to stay away as long as possible lol.

Rain drops falling on my head...

We've had some bad weather this weekend extremely windy and wet, as has been the case for many other parts of the world. Generally I like rain. It's perfect if you don't have anywhere to go, you can just curl up in a comfy chair and read or just stare mindlessly at the tv. Whatever the case may be.

Can't say I've been loving the amount of rain we got this weekend though, little too much for my taste. But I guess I'll be happy as long as the dreaded white stuff stays away at least until December. Which of course living in Canada is highly unlikely lol. Hope the kiddies get decent weather on Tuesday for trick or treating.

White stuff in October!

What the hell!. Crazy Canadian weather, it's snowing outside right now. The good news is it's not the type of snow that sticks it's more a combination of snow mixed with rain and gusty winds. Even the best meteorologists couldn't predict this crazy weather. Either way I am so glad I don't have to be anywhere today.

ETA: And now it's sunny outside again lol, you'd think after living in Canada for 12 years I'd be used to these kinds of things. But after 12 years it still surprises me lol.
