Pffffft! (& related meals for the day)

We had a viewing set up for this morning at 11 and last night we got dumped on with snow and it ended up being a messy morning weather wise, so I stayed home while the roads cleared, and spent the time clearing snow in our driveway and steps (for the viewing) The snow would have all melted in a day anyway because it's supposed to be nice tomorrow (for my birthday compliments of mother nature :-D) and because that's just how it is around here, but it had to be clear for the people to come and see how much they simply must have our house and make us an offer :-D. Plus I had to take Lucy away during the viewing time (she might be cute but she's got one helluva barking problem) and I also, of course had to have the house all tidy etc.

So I did all that and then Lucy and I made ourselves scarce for the viewing. I checked out a local organic/natural market & cafe in our neighbourhood that I never really checked out before and I am now pumped that we have something so cool in our own little neighbourhood! It's pretty much a mini-sized Planet Organic (very mini), but it's a place where you can buy some organic produce, yogurt, grains and meat etc. So that was great. I must now do some price comparisons.

Then I got back to my house and didn't see any realtor card on the counter indicating that they had been there, so I wondered. I then make my way into work and then get a call from our agent who had just been told that the viewers had decided to cancel and wanted to re-schedule. Ahem, I don't think it's called "cancelling" when it's two hours after the scheduled viewing, is it? I sure wish there was more communication to let us know before even if it was right at the time they were supposed to be there because that still would have saved an hour and a half of time I was late into work. Pffffffffft.

On the good side, they are going to re-schedule, so they are still interested and I got to explore a handy organic market in my neighbourhood. It turns out they sell the Fox Hill yogurt too (locally made) and I thought the only place I could buy it was Pete's Frootique.

Off topic, but more relevant is my lunch today. It was:

• Liberte Bio organic plain yogurt
• a dolop of Fox Hill vanilla yogurt on top (mixin' & matchin' yogurts = yum)
• smear of apple butter
• tbsp ground flax
• 3 small chopped dates
• 1/4c Kashi black current muesli type cereal on top that I'll have to confirm later (Brooke bought it in the states last week and I don't think you can buy it in Canada. Either way i'm sure any flakey muesli/granola on top would have been great)

It.Was.Delicious!

I also had a Cosmic cookie to go with it. I'm on my second batch of these bad boys and they're awesome. Everyone loves them, they're healthy, hearty and are excellent snacks! I also had a breakfast of champions with a delicious bowl of oatmeal consisting of:

• 1/3c large flake organic oats
• 1/2 banana
• 1/2c original almond dream, 1/2c water
• 1 tbsp flax meal, psyllium husks
• dash of salt, cinnamon, vanilla
• toppings: 1 tbsp runny chocolate PB2, toasted sliced almonds, unsweetened coconut chips, 3/4 tbsp almond butter

That, together with 2 cups o' joe kept me going through shovelling and all the way up to lunch at 1:00.

I'm heading to a business/fancy-ish supper tonight at Pier 21 with my buddy Lena who just emailed me wanting to know if I could go with her because someone bailed on her. Dinners there are always fantastic which is great, but I'm incredibly underdressed/casually dressed and I'm also sporting some major hat-head from shovelling for our no-show house viewing, so I will likely stick out like a sore thumb, but whatevs :-)
