Apples and ink.

Have I already mentioned how changing to a new ink colour for my pen can totally refresh me for at least a few days. It's that easy. Actually this new one with the grape purple flow ink has enthralled me for an entire week now. That's the sort of complex, sophisticated lady I am.

If you live in Canada, you will also be up to your hips in snow. It hit like a barn owl on speed last night. We live at the bottom of a steep hill so when the snow blows, it all piles up in front of our house. It insulates well but if you have to actually leave the house, you are thigh deep in snow. Pictures to be added soon. Check back in a couple of days.

Speaking of cameras, jesus on a cracker do I ever wish I had mine at the grocery store yesterday. There was this kid. This totally weird 10 year old girl wearing what looked like her grandmothers fur jacket. It was so obviously an old lady fur coat. Hip length, puffy shoulders, full on fur, long fur. Her glasses were steamed up and her nose was dripping while she furiously tried to unwrap her chocolate bar with her ski mitts still on, she was outside in the parking lot you see. If that wasn't enough of a sight. We noticed she had some odd contraption that she was sitting on and pushing around. It was a walker with skis attached. It is so obvious that someone old died in her family and her parents figured, well, what the hell, might as well make some toys out of granny's worldly posses ions. Or maybe the kid specifically requested this contraption be made for her. Either that kid is going to grow up and be the coolest gal ever or she will live alone with 43 cats and eat Kraft dinner from a fishbowl everyday.

I have a favourite brand of apple. I discovered it when they handed them out for free at the building I work at. It was the best apple ever. T went shopping that weekend and just happened to get the same kind but didn't pay attention to what kind he got. So now I have to try every apple available. Because I am not very bright, I just realized this by the way, I have been buying 3 or 4 apples each week, to try to find it. Why I am dumb is because I buy 3 or 4 of the same kind per week instead of buying 3 or 4 different apple types. If I did that, I could find the right one faster. It's not Macintosh, nor Gala. It might be Spartan or Empire....the quest continues.

You know, I'd like to see me some of that snow. It always looks as if it might snow here, but very very very rarely does it snow.

Incidentally, the ladies in Paris all look like the Montreal ladies, except they're walking up to a sign that says STOP, not ARRET. Don't ask me why that is.
