12 of 12 – march ‘11!

Posted on March 13, 2011 by kerri

On the 12th of each month, a bunch of bloggers take 12 pictures throughout the day. Here are my pictures for March 12th, 2011!

11:14 am – car. Perhaps slowly piecing together summer work. Are you following me on twitter?

11:38 am – home outfitters. OMG which one do I buy?

11:42 am – car. The pink one of course!

12:19 pm – sears. Eugh, old lady clothes. We discussed aging in Issues in Health on Tuesday – why did nobody mention the terrible clothes as an issue surrounding aging?!

12:27 pm – mall. This kiosk sells fake tulips. Wonder how many days THAT kiosk will last?

5:21 pm – bathroom. Put my hair up though you can’t see. Makes everything feel so much better.

6:43 pm – aunt’s house. Butter pecan cupcakes for my grandma’s birthday?! YES PLEASE!

8:49 pm – aunt’s house. Why are these at the top of my aunt’s stairs?!

9:28 pm – aunt’s house. Better yet, 1) why is there cheese in my mom’s purse and 2) why is this blurry?

9:48 pm – back lane. We got stuck in this, we had a semi-blizzard yesterday. I actually had my first experience having to push a car! My mom got stuck in this snow, and then she said “Shit!” and then I had to go push. Good times, mostly.

10:18 pm – bathroom. Um, bath and “Oh Shit! It’s Jesus!” – sounds good to me. I am LOVING this book.

10:59 pm – kitchen. My Live/Ed Kowalczyk obsession is not letting up. LOVE this stuff.

12 of 12 was created by Chad Darnell. To see all the other 12s from around the world, check out his site as he’s been gracious to let us infiltrate his blog space with our links for another year! Thanks Chad!

flowery cupcakes!

I know people either LOVE or HATE the cupcake cake. Well, this isn’t EXACTLY a cupcake cake so much as arranged cupcakes, but this is what Dean and I did this afternoon as my aunt’s [his mom’s] 50th birthday party is tonight.

Chapel in my home airport

“Little” snack upon arriving at my aunt and uncle’s house in Edmonton. Ukrainian, you know. 😉

Don’t the hanging ones mean rural?

My uncle loves this snow hill apparently. Every time we drove past it he went “And there’s the snow pile!”

Apparently this is what they do with excess snow in Alberta as opposed to here where we just pile it up.

I seldom travel domestic. Tim’s kept confusing me. See also: being able to use Canadian money.

My $2 IKEA lunch.

Family Day in Hawrelak Park – a few of my fave ice sculptures that we saw on display

Unfortunately I could not find the sledges and that made me sad (Hawrelak Park)

Pretty doggies (Hawrelak Park).

Salt and pepper shakers! (Whyte Avenue)

FOUND CUPCAKES ON WHYTE AVENUE!!!!

In T&T Supermarket, an Asian market in West Edmonton Mall. The majority of the market did not to over well with me as it was full of hanging pigs and chickens with feet and live crabs about to be killed. Apparently that was a place where being a vegetarian was a bad thing.

For those of you on the receiving end of my COFFEE IN A CAN!!!! tweets, this is what I meant.

Amen.

Uncle Paul and Auntie Louise [actually my GREAT aunt and uncle] took us for dinner at the fancy Marriott on our last night in Edmonton because the casinos give them various gift card moneys for their patronage [aka they go scan their cards DAILY to get points. Its like their full time job].
