So I haven't written in a while, I know, and so here's a huge post...
I've been enjoying this new weather... feels more like winter/Christmas, and we got more lights up in the place, and are trying to decorate more for Christmas... later in the post I have pictures of our completed kitchen, FINALLY! :) Yippee.... go look at my original pictures of the place, the before ones, of the kitchen, and then look at those. It's amazing!
So Ryan and I ventured out for a nice warm drink at Starbucks the day it started snowing (Sunday), before the roads got really bad. It was pretty warm out, even though the pictures make it look super cold.
My drink... a fave. A Double Tall Non-fat, with whip Pumpkin Spice Latte... sometimes I get caramel drizzle on the top, Mmmmmm...... Sorry Mel but I just can't stand eggnog anything... I didn't even like steaming it to prepare drinks. Chai is good though, sometimes. Still love my Pumpkin Spice though. And I do not like pumpkin pie. *Shrug* It was very good. Ryan had his beloved hot chocolate, and the lady was really nice and put extra, extra whip cream on his. He was happy.
Here I am. drinking my lovely latte, and wrapping my hands around the lovely christmas cup that they put it in. I LOVE Starbucks Christmas. It makes me want to go work for them again, except my schedule would certainly not be as nice and stable. We've put in our wish list to my brother, for him to pick up on his shopping week (Oh boy do I miss my discount sometimes...) I love the mugs Mel... a set is on our wishlist that we sent to Don... We have two of the regular ones. And we also put in for a travel mug, a bear, some Christmas blend coffee, mostly for the pretty packaging, and the small christmas tree ornaments... then we splurged and bought Ryan the advent calendar, seeing as it's re-useable, and a good decoration. 
Look, it's starting to snow.... the snow is now piled up atleast 3 times as high on the deck, and else where... but I took this yesterday around noon...
Me again with my yummy drink. :)
This is our driveway... and it's gotten worse. We're going to go try and see if we can get out, pretty soon, maybe go get more Starbucks.
This is the lounge at the Howard Johnsen.... just a walk down the driveway and we can have a very yummy breakfast if we're feeling lazy.
Isn't it nice.... :)
The road to our place yesterday, before the snow got really bad.
My wonderful hubby being super and scraping off the truck while I stayed bundled up inside it.
Ah this brings back memories of Alberta.....
Ah winter..... this is in our neighbrouhood... .the shopping area near our place.
The new light, to replace the ugly lightbox.
The view of our kitchen from the livingroom.
Buried truck...
Slowly painting the dinigroom set from an ugly green to an almost black brown, but we're keeping the natural wood.
Our deck...
The new light....
Ah, it's SO pretty.... our lovely newly reno'd kitchen.
Ta-Da!!
Anyhow, there's some pictures!!
Last night we went and saw the new Bond film. Oh my goodness!! It's pretty amazing. Different, to be sure, but almost more Bond, in a way. Like he should be, kinda thing. The acting was great.
Anyhow, gotta go.
