Well, my experience living in Canada has been really positive, I'm meeting lots of new people and making more and more friends and aquaintances. That is not to say I won't be out celebrating my Irish Heritage on Paddy's Day in March though! I will certainly be drinking a bit more than TEA that day! lol
Put it in a mug, no one will know any different!! A restaurant near us does a Guinness float....alcohol & dessert all in one glass!!

Even worse tonight!! I've just been out to shovel my neighbour's drive (they're old & sick) and can't feel my fingers...or ears...or toes!!
I keep forgetting you're in Edmonton! We can freeze together :D

Hmm, I thought that you were smarter than that....

Try using a snow shovel instead of your fingers, ears, or toes.

Good on you for helping the neighbours, I do the same here.
If I have time, I also clean the snow off their car.

Ooooohhh they look good!! I've seen the heatd boots, but didn't know you could get gloves!

I'm just counting they days until my boys are big enough to do it for me...unfortunately they're only 3 so I might have a bit of a wait - I'm off to Canadian tire I guess!!

Now that's a good idea!! Maybe I should get that for the ground that my new house IS NOT currently being built on because it's too freakin' cold to break ground!!
