SICKY!!!!

So Since thursday night I've been in the bed and of course to the other place no-one wants to be @ 3am in the morning.... hugging the 0ld porcelain bowl. I've literaly had zero appetite, have had absolutly no engery and other things I didn't think were humanly possible ( but you definatly don't need to know details) I wouldn't wish this bug on anyone... I wanted to die on thursday evening when it first started. So of course like everything else, I get a call from Chris on Satursday from work... he's sick too, so both of us have had it, what a lovely weekend. Good news though, I've ate some food today so I should be good for work tomorrow and looking forward to this weekend.

Doggie Date

So on Saturday one of Chris's Co-workers Julian asked us to bring Cocoa over to his house for a playdate with his new puppy Ellie, she's 10 weeks old and also a lab with a little mix of collie. They both need a good ass kicking by a bigger dog!!!! They played for hours and still never got tired... but they did play well so that's good for us since we though Cocoa is a beast. The reason why I say that is because last week at Puppy School she was by far the worst puppy in class... but hopefully this week she'll be better, since she's been playing with other dogs more this week. Trying to train a really well behaved dog is a full time job!!! I know Carly's laughing cause she has 2 kids and I talk about the dog as if she's my baby..... lol, but she is for now. Anyway, here are a few of pics from Saturday afternoon.

28 Lbs

So Cocoa went to the Vet this morning and had her shots, she is now 28Lbs... very heavy. We start puppy school tomorrow night!!! Which will be good because for the most part were the ones going to school to learn.. not her. All those puppies in the same room, she'll be pretty tired tomorrow night :) it will be a good night sleep. Here's a couple of pics from this morning after we got back.

COLD

Today is the coldest day we've had all winter... and boy is it cold. This morning it was -20 outside with a windchill of -34 degrees, it was so cold that there was steam rising off the ocean when I wento over the bridge this morning to get to work. Right now it's warmed up a little... -18 with a windchill of -30 degrees.. the sun is out and it's a little warmer :)

SNOW in January

I can't believe that we finally had snow.. I'm not exactly over excited to see it, but it's kinda nice to be reminded that it's actually winter. It was a slippery night last night, went home from work @ around 5:30pm.. the traffic wasn't too bad, I got home @ 6pm, which surprised me because the way everyone was talking I thought I was gonna be stuck here at work. When I came back over the bridge @ 8 to pick Chris up from work... the roads weren't too bad and there weren't that many cars on the rd. 4 trips over the bridge yesterday, I think that's my limit. I think that most of the snow will be gone again today anyway... raining now!!!!

iPhone

I love the new iPhone that Apple released, it's awesome. I want one really bad!!!!! But Aliant's Network doesn't support the phone yet, so it might be awhile. I think it's really cool and convienent.. Music, Movies, Internet and phone.... Pretty Cool.

New GPS

So Chris went out after Christmas and bought himself a GPS... he's been wanting it for a long time and since we travel a lot, the GPS would make life a little easier when were in bigger cities. I love it... it's really small and U can listen to music and everything on it. In fact since I'm new to the dartmouth area I use it for that..lol. It's the Mio C310X and it's the cutest GPS, very small, light weight, mountable on the car dash and very user friendly with all touch menus on the screen. I love it!!!! it's our newest toy.

Congrats

So congratulations to one of my best friends home in Newfoundland... Dawn and Taylor are expecting their second baby!!! Due in June. Maybe it will be a boy this time.. Hannah Banana is the cutest, but she really needs a brother. It was pretty cute how she told her family, they made up t-shirts for Hannah with "I'm gonna be A BIG SISTER!!!" it was pretty funny. She sent me the pics with the Christmas card of Hannah in her shirt, I thought it was a pretty cool way to tell people.

Splash.... Splash

Splash, Splash I was taking a bath.... Here is a pic of Cocoa in the tub last night, she's a NUT when it comes to water. She barks to get in the tub... last night she went swiming in the tub. The pic is a little blurry, she wouldn't stay still and the batteries where dying in the camera.

Happy New Year

Hope everyone has a wonderful year!!! I'm sure a lot of people are tired from all that partying last night. Bring on 2007, I have a feeling it's gonna be a good year.

Some Chirstmas Pictures

A Leak

So on wednesday afternoon we packed up and went to Chris's parents house in the valley for the night. Cocoa included. We had a great dinner and spent some time with his brother as well... it was very nice, even had a few flakes of snow. We headed back home yesterday, only to find a puddle of water in the middle of the kitchen, with water also dripping out of the kitchen light... Oh god I thought, where in the hell is that coming from. After thinking for a minute I realized the washer and dryer is above it... so I went running up over the stairs, of course the intake on the back of the washer that is always on for hot/cold water was loose and was dripping just enough to make the floor wet and start dripping downstairs. We took off the light, everything is drying out and the hardwood isn't damaged too bad... in fact today it's started to dry out so it's settling backdown. Thank god we never stayed for another night, god only knows what we would of come home too. Everything is almost back to normal and between Chris and I... the Crisis was diverted :) I never had the landlord to call this time!!!!!! Had to fix it ourselves :)

Christmas Day

So I think this is very Blog worthy, Christmas Day I got off @ 3:30pm from work and rushed on home to Chris so we could open our presents.. since I was working all day. Santa was good to me this year even though I thought the house was my present!!!! I got my Japanese Santoku Knife, it's a chef's knife, a mandoline for slicing thinly and a red crock pot for baking stews and roasts. Well after we had all the presents opened.... we needed to find a place for supper, I thought maybe some places would still be open.... NOTHING, we ended up at the Irving Big Stop in Enfield for supper...lol. Today however I cooked turkey dinner in my new oven for the first time and it was awesome, I used the Convection option. Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying their holidays, I actually right now at work... working backshift tonight, then off for a couple of days.

Merry Christmas

Hope Everyone has an awesome Christmas. I'll be working all Christmas so not too much going on with me. Being the junior person in the group... I got the lucky opportunity to work Christmas. I guess I've been pretty lucky, this is actually the first Christmas I've had to work since I've been with Aliant (5 Christmas's)... and the $$$$$$ will be very good. Infact it will probably pay for Christmas no problem. I have Boxing day off, so Chris and I will have our turkey dinner then, Christmas supper will probably be take out..lol. We will be going to the valley to see Chris's parents on the 27th in the afternoon, since I'm working backshift the night before and need some sleep first. Well hope everyone has a great holiday and I hope to see you all in the New Year for a visit to our new house.

Our Christmas Tree

Now I just have to finish baking, shopping & wrapping.... and everything else!!!!!!!!

Cocoa Playing Around

Here is Cocoa playing with Chris's Basket ball... she really is silly, she sits on the ball... to the point her back paws lift off the ground. Lol.

Close To Christmas

So it's really close to Christmas, I can't believe it's almost here. I'm actually not that excited this year, I'm working most of the holidays... which kinda sucks, first house and working, but on the brightside Christmas pay is good $$$$. I'm at work today until midnight, I haven't been here in a few days, I've been sick with a cheast/lung infection. Lucky ME!!! Anyway, I've got lots of time tonight, so I think I'll finish up my Christmas Cards.. so I can get them in the mail on monday, I've already got a bunch sent last week. I've also got all my supplies for cookies this year and plan to make them this week, I'm off mon-wed so I'll finish shopping and baking. Also have a few Christmas presents to make.. Centerpieces for the table made with real boughs, they are pretty nice and make the house smell nice. I haven't got all my Christmas shopping finished!!! How about U guys????? I've been pretty busy. Anyway, Hope everyone has an excellent Chirstmas, I'll update with some tree house pics in the next few days.

46 ColdStream Run

Here are some pics of the New House!!!! I will have a PARTY when I get things all ready :)
