So spring is upon us again up here in the frigid True North Strong & Free. And who said we were frozen 8 months of the year? Oh wait, I did. 😛 At least, while my relatives and friends living outside of this pleasant little bubble of the Lower Mainland are suffering with their -30C winter (did I mention with the windchill it makes it feel like -45C), my mom’s flowers are beginning to bloom in her garden.

Yep, you heard me. Flowers. Blooming. IN FEBRUARY!! 😛

I find this mostly humourous because I have several friends the good ol’ USA who enjoy making fun of our frigid winters. So while they’re currently sitting under snow down there, my mom’s plants are blooming.

Now I realise I can’t rub that in ALL my friends faces who like to tease me about riding a polar bear to school (his name is George), as one of them is currently wearing shorts and enjoying a rather pleasant winter. Not that I can’t wear shorts. Because I could if I really so desired it. But while I am an insane Canadian, I’m not THAT insane.

Well okay, maybe an insey bit.

Firefox is irritating me as of late. It likes to try and correct me on my Canadian English. I’m sorry if I spell things with a U, like HONOUR, FLAVOUR, COLOUR! I can’t help it. So while it doesn’t offer a UK version of their built in spellchecker, I have to make due and continuously add my Canadian eppelations to it’s already massive language database. Well, I don’t know if it’s massive, but you get the idea.

… I swear eppelation was a word two seconds ago. No wait! Stop underlining eppelation! I can’t help it if i think it’s a word! Nooo curse my 13 years of french!

… I wish I had a polar bear to ride to school. That would just be cool. Instead I have a car. A green car. It works well. Yay cars!
