Diana, I hope you don't get bad weather!!

We are having a snow day again!!! This is just life in Saskatchewan - you never know what you'll get! Yesterday was so warm, I was in the mall and almost everyone was wearing shorts or dresses and sandals! I talked to my mom last night and she said it had rained all day and in the evening it turned to snow, and it was still snowing when we talked. We were outside playing with the pups yesterday evening, and this morning I woke up to a blanket of white! I think it may have stopped snowing now though.

As I mentioned, we went to the city yesterday. I got my hair cut at the mall and Scott went to a doctor because he has no voice lol! He got some medication for that so hopefully he's feeling better soon. We went to my aunt and uncle's house to pick up a laptop with a tax program on it so we could do our taxes this weekend. Then we went to Costco for groceries. Since we've been away the last two weekends, we haven't bought groceries in 3 weeks. Our fridge was completely empty and our pantry and freezer were getting pretty low. We ended up spending $575 on groceries BUT at least now we won't need to do a big shop for a long time!!!!

We did our taxes last night and I will be getting back a lot more than I expected! I guess with changing jobs twice last year, I overpaid into Canadian Pension Plan and Employment Insurance, which means I get all that money back now! I also still get to claim a graduate tax credit for my schooling (it came into effect the year I graduated, so Scott got missed by one year!). I think this is the last year I can claim it, but I didn't think I still could this year so it was a nice surprise lol!

Oh yeah and the woman who came to look at my bike on Friday night, I don't think will be back. I was surprised when she came because she's probably 50-something, and this is her first bike. She has never rode before, and she doesn't even have a learners license yet. A 636 cc sport bike is not what I'd picture someone like her on! She seemed a little nervous about it and was more interested in playing with the dogs while her husband checked out the bike. He doesn't know much about them either. They had to ask how to shift, where the clutch is, how to brake, etc. Their son who seemed to be about 17 or 18 came out too and laughed when his dad asked if he could imagine his mom on it. She told me previously she was bringing out a deposit if it all checked out, and they didn't find a thing wrong with it, but said they would think about it and left with the money.
