March 27 & 28, 2011

Mark's Uncle Ralph and Aunt Linda came to visit this week. This was taken while we were talking to their grandkids on speakerphone. It was such fun.

It snowed again. Here's my fresh footprint in the fresh snow. Where is spring???!!!

March 26, 2011

I've been so sick lately. Stuffed up sinuses, ears plugged up so bad I can hardly hear, and then PMS on top of all that. It's been frustrating and miserable. So the other day, Mark hands me this little box. He's got this big grin on his face, and he's trying to act all mysterious. Problem is, I know him too well, and I can tell he's building up to some kind of joke.

He opens the box, and nope, it's not jewelry!

March 19-24, 2011

It was snowing and melting this week, so it almost looked like it was raining.

I found these on the side of the road while walking home from work. It looks like someone dumped a whole truckload of Christmas trees. There were more than what I got in the photo.

We went to Arby's in the east end for supper one night. It's a very nice restaurant, for fast food.

Spring is so ugly.

March 16 & 17, 2011 (Days 220 & 221)

Spring is definitely here. The snow is melting like crazy every day, then freezing over every night. It makes for some dangerous conditions: slick ice in the mornings and deep puddles and slush on the side roads in the afternoon. It's a fine line to drive slowly enough not to lose control while fast enough not to lose momentum. It's hard to get going again if you stop.

Happy St Patrick's Day!

March 14 & 15, 2011 (Days 218 & 219)

I got this cute little Coke at 7/11 free with purchase of a sandwich.

For supper on Tuesday, I had wild Pacific salmon, french fries, and green beans.

March 9-13, 2011 (Days 213-217)

Mark found this book in a discount bin at Value Village for $3.99. It's the hardcover version and it's in really good condition. :) We already had Inkheart, and this is the sequel, so we're excited to read it.

The following is some random shots of spring in Regina.

March 8, 2011 (Day 212)

I got my new Saskatchewan driver's license in the mail today. I've been driving with a temporary one the last little while. The new one has all kinds of security features, which are all cool, but my favourite part is the photo. It's a really good picture of me, the best driver's license photo I've ever seen.

March 6 & 7, 2011 (Days 210 & 211)

Mark being silly at Kendal & Robyn's.

Key lime pie at Table Ten, a restaurant in the Cathedral district of Regina.

March 5, 2011 (Day 209)

We did nothing today, so I thought I'd share this cool thing I have in the bathroom that helps avoid certain fights that sometimes come up in marriages. It's so simple: just two pieces of plastic held together at the ends with elastics. You slip it onto the end of a tube of toothpaste, and slide it up as you use the tube, and it ensures that you use every last bit.

March 3 & 4, 2011 (Days 207 & 208)

The past few days , we've had a bit more snow. I've been told that this is most snow Regina's had in years. Of course, the rest of Canada is getting more snow than usual too.

This is the pile in our backyard.

A view of the prairie from the road home from work.

February 27-March 2 (Days 205-208)

We had dinner at Glitters restaurant Wednesday night. This was above our table. I thought it looked cool.

Two shots I took of the sun rising on Sunday morning.
