100!

Sorry for the huge delay in blog postings. This is normally not my style. I have just been extremely busy. Let me give you a quick update on my life :

1) Postcrossing :  I have been slowing it down. I have a variety of pen-pals which keep me busy enough.

2) Weather: The weather has been crazy in March (one extreme to another) The temperature has varied from 20 Celsius to -4 Celsius.  And sometimes it would be sunny and clear and the next day freezing rain and hail. Welcome to Ontario!

3) Movies/TV :  I have discovered the joys of Netflix. I'm watching Arrested Development and Justified.

4) Favorite Gal: I just mailed my 100th letter to her and  to celebrate this milestone we are going to Las Vegas in 5 days.  (Just kidding - on the celebration. We were going to Vegas regardless)  I'm excited. Gambling athon here we come. (Ha!) My fav gal isn't too keen on gambling so I doubt I will break my previous record of 8 hours of continuous blackjack. Maybe next time.

5) Other :  I still feed the birds outside. My car still runs. I guess I have no complaints. I'm also off to Toronto April 23. I can't wait to get back there and do some exploring.


Here are some photos:

Tired and Sore!

I have been on the grind lately and working hard trying to get back into shape. Today I'm trying to take it easy. Here is a card that I received and I think it is awesome :

Thank you Alena!  Well I'm going back to listening to Howard Stern and working on some mail.

Everybody Runs!

I stumbled across this website:  http://www.runforyourlives.com/. How cool is this? It is a 5k race (similar to Warrior Dash) but this time you have to avoid zombies! The zombies are real people dressed up and they chase you through the course.

I'm thinking of running it in June 2012.

Snowed In!

The weather here is crazy! I guess it is a good day to stay in and do the following :

1. watch Archer
2. watch Restaurant Impossible
3. work on mail art
4. text my favorite gal 

Here is proof of the weather :

 

I had to shovel off the deck so the birds could be fed. I fed the birds and an hour later the bird seed was covered because it has been snowing non-stop. Classic.

In postcrossing news I received this card :

It was from the Netherlands. Thanks Elly. The best part was the stamp :

This is the special postcrossing stamp that can be purchased in the Netherlands. I think it is neat.
And here is another card I received that I wanted to show  :

It is a copy of art from the Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow. Thank you Sochi. I plan to frame it. Too bad it got a little bent from travelling.

A Leap Year for a Leap Gal!

I have 30 minutes to complete this post before the Leap Year runs out. I didn't wear purple or yellow and I didn't take any crazy chances today. Maybe I should have done something crazy that would have made my gal happy*

I did send out the best Leap Year card ever to my favorite gal. I doubt anyone can top this :

 

See it's Superman leaping on a Leap Year. I'm pure genius. Ha!

Saskatchewan

I Love Saskatchewan!

My first adventure out west was fun with my favourite gal.  The Science Centre in Regina was pretty cool and surely beats Science North in Sudbury.  It was interesting to see the different things that they had and more interactive activities!

                         Trying to use my muscles to prove that I am stronger than the world.. ahha corny!

                                                            Estevan is an OK city...

This was a fun day looking at cool rocks in Roche Percee... Couldn't find the real ones but these ones will due!

My new favourite place in Saskatchewan!



Well hope you enjoyed my little adventure!!!!
