Waiting for Spring

I am hoping March brings nice weather. I'm ready for it. The spring flowers in the stores have been catching my eye. These daffodils were beautiful (they didn't last very long though). I just bought some tulips on the weekend and they are cheering up my little home now.

I went to my first Pampered Chef party on Saturday. I was planning on buying very little, but ended up buying more than I had planned (I think this is why these parties do so well). My friend planned a Chinese New Year theme, so I learned a bit more about the culture and we got some Chinese food as well! The boys had their own party in the basement, with beer and darts. Very manly.

Yesterday was Presidents' Day down here and so we had the day to spend together. I think traditionally, you are supposed to go shopping. That's assumed from all the advertising on tv for Macy's, J.C. Penney's and every furniture store around. We had thought about venturing to IKEA but changed our minds when we noticed that they didn't have some tables we wanted (you can check their stock online- it's great!). So, we hung out at home and watched the Islanders' hockey game. It was probably the most exciting game they have played in awhile and they scored the winning goal with 30 sec. left on a breakaway. Yah! They might squeak into the playoffs still.

I too just bought some bright flowers to try and hasten the arrival of spring. We still have a lot of snow on the ground. I feel like it's never going to arrive.

Your flowers are beautiful! However, we're still loving the snow here. Next weekend we're heading out to Panorama for some snowboarding and of course... the more fresh powder the better! After we get back we too will welcome Spring. In the meantime... Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

You guys must be some of the only people excited by the Ryan Smith trade! Good luck with the playoff run, we're both going to need it! We'll see how the Flames do on this little road trip.
