Hello!
Hi everyone!
I'm going to keep a bit of a blog here, although I'm not sure how diligent I'll be. I tend to be a bit scattered.
Still, I want to get to know you, so introduce yourself and tell me where you're from. I'm in Ontario, Canada. Usually at this time of year, we'd have mountains of snow and the skiers would be in heaven, but this is a very weird winter and my grass is still green!

Winter
Winter is finally here! It took until the middle of February, but we had a huge snowfall on Friday night and I spent the day yesterday shoveling and chasing the puppy around.
You know, I'm usually not a huge fan of winter, but this year since it has come so late I don't mind so much. Maybe because I figure it can't last too long. I mean, two more weeks and it's already March right?

Valentine's Day?
Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, and I ask myself every year whether hubby will surprise me with something, but you know what?
He rarely does.
Some people would say he isn’t romantic, or that he doesn’t care. But I know the truth.
My big bad Italian hubby isn’t one for telling me he loves me. I may not get roses on Valentine’s Day, and we may not go out to an expensive dinner. But two weeks ago my husband, who has said for years that he will never get a dog because they’re too much work…told me I could have a puppy. And you know why he did it? Because he knew it would make me happy and he loves me so much he’ll put up with pee on the kitchen floor, and chewed running shoes, and that wet doggy smell.
I’m all for a day of romance as much as the next person, but even more important are the days when there aren’t any expectations yet the coffee is made for me when I get up in the morning, and the laundry has magically been folded while I was writing madly to make a deadline. My husband knows that my favourite treat is a cannoli (Mmmmm Cannolis) and one random day that really meant nothing in the grand scheme of things, I came home to find that he’d looked up a recipe, gone out for the ingredients and made some from scratch. Those were the best cannoli’s I have ever had.
So no, I don’t expect fancy declarations, or anything else tomorrow. And that’s perfectly fine. I probably won’t make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day for him either…then again, he’s going ice fishing next week and I know when he gets home he’ll really appreciate seeing a big pot of my homemade squash soup and fresh bread waiting for him.
What little things does your loved one do for you throughout the year to show their love, besides the big gestures?

Sway?
I've been playing around with a new presentation program called Sway...I think it's pretty cool!
