March 8,2008 snowstormWell, the storm's over and the sun is shining innocently, but we still have a lot of digging out to do. It was really windy and ugly last night as we headed out to meet my sister and her family at a nearby restaurant for dinner. We made it and I realized how fearless I can be, driving through that mess, as M didn't come. It helped that the roads were quite empty of traffic, as were the usually jammed parking lots. Trying to see out of your windshield is the tricky part as it fogs up, covers with ice and snow and when the wipers just make it worse. That's where the de-fogger buttons come in handy.
I've been reading in the news about all these tragic fire stories and woke up this morning thinking I'm going to buy new smoke alarms for the bedrooms. I read that smoke alarms should be replaced every 3 or 4 years as the detector parts don't work indefinitely. Even if you replace the batteries regularly, and test them, all you're really testing is that the batteries work. The clocks going forward this morning make this a timely topic wouldn't you say?
Well, we're leaving for our Jamaica vacation in a few days (hopefully our flight will be ok after all the weekend cancellations due to the weather), so I won't be posting again until after March 19 (addicted as I am). I'll be busy finalizing the packing tomorrow, among other things.

More money means more help. But wait, I'm Canadian. I can't be rich--can I?
