Do you think these two pups are laughing at me? I think so. This was two weekends ago on the coldest day of the week (all temps for about 1.5 weeks before this were above 0 degrees...this day happened to be -18, feels like -24 with windchill day. The day after this? 0 degrees!!!!), a sunday to be precise on the St.Patrick's day run. I let a friend talk me into running 10 km this day in the fresh snow and the freezing temps. The pups and hubby came along to offer encouragement and cheer. I think the pups thought it was all funny. Well, as I stood at the starting line, I didn't think it was so funny. But about 2km into the race I was warm. Yes, running (with some walking) 10k pooped me out. But I did survive. Thanks to everyone who supported me (pups and hubby), and the patient and strong gal that ran with me. YAH!

Some birthday wishes...

It appears that birthdays are sprouting up everywhere.

Woot! Lookit that cake! I got a special commission for this cake. It celebrates a milestone birthday. Hopefully I did some justice for the special day. Unfortuneately she won't be able to indulge in it as she would have to come to Edmonton....I don't think it would travel well to Vancouver. So we here will enjoy it for the birthday girl instead. A chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling and chocolate fondant icing on top. The cake is kind of supposed to represent a basket of flowers. It was fun to make. I was groovin to tunes from the '80s while decorating it. I also had a little bit of help in the kitchen in the form of a yellow lab and a chocolate lab....they were supervising.

Who did I give this card to? Anyone? I can't remember! So I'm posting it anyways! Partly because I can't find anything else to post and partly because I'm celebrating the start of a new month! March is one month closer to spring. How much happiness is that!

And that's all I have to say for today.
