Hope everyone has had a nice weekend and its not over yet.. for me its 6:45 and although dark and rainy, it gives me a chance to relax and do some reading. Maybe a bath too with mega bubbles..

gg, glad to hear you like your daughters new b/f. I always like to see how my bf's treat my mom... and it better be good!

I had really nice weekend, I've been pretty depressed about $ and work but a nice night out and some appreciation for my guy turned things around. And sushi for dinner! Love that wasabi you dip your rolls in, burn! Also, since I never drink sake (Japanese wine) it ends up being a temptation-free evening.

RC, you toasty warm in your blanket?

Have great night Canucks!

Wow Wally! Happy planting.

Hello to all the lovely Canucks. ***waving wildly ***

Ga'morning Nuckers. That's cuz we's so funny...nuck nuck nuck...ooo really corny huh.

Wally I totally get your excitement over the seeds. Been there, done that. There is a company called Eternal Seeds--I have spent hours pouring over the varieties in their catalogue in the past. Hopefully, I will re-kindle my love of gardening this year. I have some old glass commercial freezer doors that I would love to rig up as my little starter area in the garden. Please take pics and keep us posted. You inspire me.

Howdy Zenners and Tawny. Always nice to see the frog waving madly. It seems so out of character. Makes ya more human or something. Otherwise you seem like this perfect icon around here. Said with respect my dear.

Today, hope you're staying convicted there girl. You have a milestone very shortly to celebrate. Love sushi!! My absolute favourite. I have to go at least an hour away to get some. My finances do not permit that these days but I shall eat it again!

Better run, I'm late. What else is new.....
Have a good one friends. xo

Hello RC, gg, Wally, Zen, and madly waving at you Tawny! So glad my checks and balances are checking in.

How did I not drink today? I have no idea, partly because I would have to come here and explain... partly because I know it won't solve anything. Work is getting me down big time. Around noon today I realized I had made a clerical error on letter sent out to client; but this letter was one correcting a different error! It makes me look stupid, makes my supervisor (we get 100% of work sent out reviewed) look stupid and makes me want to forget everything. A year ago, I would have been half through a bottle.. now, I just feel sad :-( I seriously was 2 seconds away from sending email to my supervisor that I was going home early and getting AL on the way. But, the work and ERROR would be there in morning, or Thursday morning when I shuffled embarrassed and guiltily in. Not sure why this event, or the last few have gotten to me so much, guess I'm not perfect. How about that? I know what I would say to any of you but can't seem to get through to myself. How many pity parties has it been lately??

But I'm sober, and convicted and finished my work day. Thanks for the shout out and reminder Ringing Cedars... so close to 30 days I can touch it.

Happy Valentines Day to all of you, hope you've got a Valentine (whether human, animal or mineral) to hug!

Canucklings!

Hope you all had a good Valentine's Day! Today, I'm trying to visualize a mineral Valentine Do enlighten me, will you? :H

So sorry about the work screw up... it happens to the best of us, though. Honest, it does. And good on ya for not hiding away in a bottle. You know, every time you make it through a situation without the crutch, you make it that much easier for the next time around. Well done, girlie.

Wally! Ohhhh... I'm green with envy! You got to fondle! Wonderful packets, you got there. And, we definitely want pictures of the cold thing you're building and all those little seedlings. Yay! We'll be aunties to Wally's seedlings!

We had a copper pipe burst in the barn... walked into a right wet mess this morning. Took me 'til 3pm to clean up. So much for my work day. Managed to get one (albeit extensive) quote out and a couple of emails answered. Hrmpfh.

That's it, that's all from the thawing north... gonna have a cup of tea and some nyquil (maybe not in that order - yuck) and head to bed. Night night!!!

Canucks!!!

You'd better show your faces or I'll start one of my mile and a half monologues again!
Please don't make me... I really don't have the time right now :H

HI Peeps
It's two more sleeps until the weekend. Yippee!!!!
Not much going on here at the moment. I have a full day at the desk tomorrow (blech). Bought my dog a couple of new toys. She is totally clueless, keeps looking at me like WHAT?????? One is one of those kong toys....she's like "whatever". I have a chihuaha with "tude".
Other than that if the weather holds up, I will try to build the cold frame this weekend. I am going to plant some of the seeds tonight, and it is waaaaaay too soon to put them out in the frame, but it will make me feel good anyway.
Hope everyone is having a good day

saved you from the monologue

1 month!

Whoo hoo! Got lots of inspiration from you guys to stay AF. This is about my 3rd quit since finding MWO last August so I feel like I'm racking up substantial days AF. Yay, getting my cheerfulness back

wally, the weekend cannot come quick enough! I will keep my fingers crossed for good weather for you to make your frame. Want to hear about some sprouts asap! Heck, some good weather over here would be nice too!

gg; how are you feeling in the thawing north? I'm still trying to figure out what a mineral Valentine would be... would some of my ex's with rocks in their heads count?

Planted 50 geraniums last night and about 25 tomatoes. Put them on a warming mat, that I just purchased and they are nestled on the kitchen counter so I can keep a watchful eye on them.
Hope everyone is having a great day
I'm supposed to be working, so ta ta for now.

Oh Wally.. it's really almost Spring, isn't it? We're talking seeds 'n stuff... I can't wait do play in the dirt again!

Real quick today... much to do. Mr. Wonderful is dragging me to the really big smoke this weekend (TO) and Sidney and I are planning to meet for coffee - yay! So, I'll be gone until Monday night - no worries if you don't hear from me

Have a fabulous weekend, yaw'll!

[Wally22]

The Canucks Co

I want to go to TO too. It's too late don't ask me, I'm already in a snit.
I have to work on this file, and I've been at it for 7 hours and I don't want to work on it anymore. But if I don't finish it I won't get paid. And if I dont' get paid, well on it goes.
So I have to work on it. sigh
Hope everyone has a great long weekend.

[RingingCedars]

The Canucks Co

Well I think we should make it a real meet up! I'ma gonna do my best to get to the big smoke. You should too Wally!

I'm going to get some seeds from a local organic farmer soon and I'm going to start peppers, tomatoes and broccoli in egg shells. Neat idea I saw on FB.
