O Canada, thou who canst not make up thy mind...

The weather here is INSANE. We were meant to get 10cm of snow and instead we're now soaking through an expected couple of inches of rain! There's glare ice everywhere and you're lucky if you can take a couple of steps without going for a slide. Yesterday we had what the Weather Network (Canada's version of the Bureau of Meteorology--and Canadians would believe everything the W.N says even if they forecast 75 degrees Celsius with snowy patches) calls 'mixed precipitation'--in other words, it snowed for 10 minutes, rained for 10 minutes, snowed for 10 minutes, and so on until we didn't know which way was up!
We've been doing lots of cooking :) Cream of broccoli soup, cream of cauliflower soup, beef stew, beef stroganoff, chicken and vegetable soup, pasta bake, thai chicken curry....the list goes on and it all tasted really good. Love trying new recipes! Stay tuned for what comes next :) Tonight we're trying lasagne.
I've applied for so many jobs I've actually lost count--probably getting on for 15 now. Anyway this morning I got a phone call from The Source in Lindsay asking me to come in this afternoon for an interview! So we'll keep praying and see how that goes. It's a high-tech electronics store which sells all sorts of gadgets--laptops, cameras, video cameras, iPods, iPhones, remote control stuff, computer accessories...you name it. I only applied yesterday afternoon so they're either really desperate or they REALLY liked my resume! I'm hoping for the latter :)
