Crazy wife

So there we were on Monday; beautiful, sunny, warm, a forecast high of twenty two degrees.  We had just spent the weekend turning our yard and various parts of our abode into something a little more presentable for spring weather.  I was cutting and hauling tree branches into the back of my truck.  Amy was scouring and re-painting our kitchen pantry.  Birds were singing and love was in the air.

Today, Friday, it is overcast with a forecast high temperature hovering tauntingly just below the freezing mark.  There are snow flurries across the land and the wind penetrates my light spring jacket like Uma Thurman's Hattori Hansu sword did the Crazy 88's in Kill Bill.  (Just watched the DVD again last night.)

Now, having just gotten back to work from a trip home (alas, NOT for a 'nooner'), my wife is in my truck and on the highway, bound for Lethbridge to view some puppies.  She'll be driving through this crap most of the way there, but has left early enough to arrive with plenty of daylight to spare.

She'll go see some dogs, take some pictures, have dinner with her folks, go to bed, and then getupandshowerandcomestraighthome.  She's planning to be home before noon tomorrow.  That's basically a twenty-two hour trip, of which half is spent on the highway.  Silly girl.

Baba Roxy (my stepmum) is watching the squirt in the meantime.

I tell you, if the weather is anything like this NEXT Saturday, I'm going to scream.  There are at least, at LEAST, thirty people expected for the birthday party.

At least!!

John Candy's last film....he wants to move to Canada, cuz' he hears it's warmer there!
