It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas....

Winter is here....or rather it is knocking on our door. We were hit with a storm the last couple of days. It started Wednesday morning, stopped for a while in the afternoon, then continued Wednesday night and all of Thursday. I was so happy to have gotten my winter tires put on a few weeks ago but at the same time was worried about the other drivers. Who forgot to put winter tires on? How close are they driving towards me? I made it to and from work without any problems. The drive to work took longer, as expected, but the trees looked so magical.....covered in a white blanket on each branch, very Christmassy (if that is even a word).

So it got me thinking of Christmas and all the work that goes into it, the lists, the cards, the shopping, the line ups. Actually, I love all of it, I guess you could call me a people watcher. I could go to the mall and just watch other people all bustle around each other while sipping my Timmie's. I am excited for Christmas, mainly because it is when we all get together as a family and just have a good time. Sometimes it is hard to find time like this in our busy schedules but I am glad when it comes...even if it is just to get a phone call.

As I am loving all this snow right now, I know it will go away.....but not for long. If only we could have the snow without the extreme cold (-30). If only.

Update

So I have been working with this new family for almost 2 months now and things are going much more smoothly than before. Loo Loo is about 5 months now and has taken to me and actually smiles at me now when I arrive in the morning. Mom is still at home with us but because she is going back to being a resident at the hospital again she has a lot of studying and research to do and allows Loo Loo and I to play or go for walks. Every now and then she comes in for cuddles because it is hard to be away for your baby all day long. I am really enjoying being here and I get along well with both Mom and Dad. I am still with the last family too but only until Christmas so it will be sad to say good bye to them, actually I don't think I could so I will have to take the kids on some weekends during the year.

I have recently finished playing Ultimate for the season and had a great time and met a lot of great people. We just finished off last night with a get together at one of the pubs downtown. Now I can focus my time on my running, hopefully, I am having a hard time with it as my knee likes to hurt me so I have decided to have someone check it out and give me some advice on what to do so that I won't have to give it up. My next race is set for Dec. 31 (the Resolution Race). It is only a 10k.
