6 Long Damn Months...

Cocaine Princess here.

Greetings from the Great White North.

"Breaking News: Canada's weather prophet, Wiarton Willie, had to enter the witness protection program." #endlesswinter  twitter‏@MeanwhileinCana

Well, the cold weather continues up here and most of us if not all are nearing that breaking point. It's depressing and exhausting. It's been 6 months. 6 long damn months of awful cold weather.

"New Canadian Word: Frostage. To be held hostage by cold weather." 

Like everyone else I'm sick of it. I went shopping the other day and bought a couple of new spring outfits during Toronto Fashion Week. I'm loving the pretty pastel colors this season but sadly not even retail therapy is helping lift my mood.

In other news, have you seen this commercial? John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain and Tupace Shakur are among the dead celebrities whose likenesses make appearances in a questionable new beer commercial.  

"The setting is a lovely, private beach getaway that is, apparently, inhabited by dead celebrities. And they’re all getting tanked! We see “Elvis” hanging out on the beach checking out the waitress who brings him a bottle, while it appears that “Marylin Monroe” is rubbing suntan lotion on “Tupac Shakur.” Meanwhile, someone pretty clearly resembling Lennon is ordering drinks for he and his pal “Cobain."

What do you think?

Btw, I apologize for the lackluster posts these past couple of weeks, the meteorological conditions have literally sucked the life out of me.

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.

Whatever your plans are have a wonderful last weekend of March.~x

This Is What March Looks Like.

Cocaine Princess here.

This past Tuesday we experienced Spring like weather. The temperature reached +9C.  I thought, "Yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel!"

But I was wrong, dead wrong because the next day we were slammed with another damn, frigging snow storm.

I took these pics yesterday just in case anyone is wondering what the month of March looks like up here in The Great White North. 

My neighbor's car:

Hmm, it's truly hard to believe Spring arrives next week. 

Spring..........Up here we've lost all hope. We're all convinced Mother Nature is hell bent on keeping winter all year long and if that isn't bad enough the deep freeze has returned yet again and more snow is expected next week. 

Dear Mother Nature,

 I hate you.

Respectfully Yours,

Colombian Princess.

Like pretty much everyone else, I'm tired of this weather. I'm totally drained out. My God, when will this end for us? Will it end for us? Will the warm weather ever arrive? Will I see and smell fresh cut grass or feel the heat of the sun on my bare shoulders ever again? Will my pedicured toes be able to wear open-toed sandals? What about all my pretty dresses, skirts and shorts?............

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.

Whatever your plans are make sure it includes having a drinkie, after-all it's St. Paddys Day Weekend. ~x

What Possible Reason Could They Have For Sticking Around?

 

 Cocaine Princess here.

It's hard to believe the first day of Spring is March 20th given how brutal the weather has been for us especially this year. A few of the things we've suffered through courtesy of Mother Nature:

-One snow storm after another
-A massive ice storm
-A blackout because of the ice storm
-A record amount of snow accumulation

And

A record number of cold weather alerts, 32 to be exact. To quote my neighbor who was shovelling his driveway on Sunday, "F----ing winter needs to F---k off."  

Unfortunately it seems that winter will be sticking around. According to Environment Canada the cold weather will be here 'til April. 

 Yesterday it was -19C and as cold as it was I bravely went outside. Today, March Madness officially begins at the mall but a few select stores decided to start one day earlier and so of course I had to go. I scored some pretty sweet deals. Anyways, as I was in the parking lot heading towards my car I spotted these: 

 Although they were gracious enough to stop and pose for pictures this particular group didn't seem friendly but then again I'm not too sure if geese in general are friendly creatures. First, they literally surrounded the driver's side door and wouldn't move. Secondly, they began strectching out their necks while staring directly at me--- and believe me their stares were quite menacing too. A car then came from around the corner and after a couple of honks the geese finally decided it was time to move and they did so by taking their time.

Now I could be wrong but I was always under the impression geese fly south for the winter?  I don't understand why they're still hanging around here in frigid temperatures. 

What possible reason could they have for sticking around?

1. Have their passports expired?

2. Are the US border agents giving them a hard time?

3. Are they wanted in the Sunshine State for a crime?

Is this a concern? Should I alert someone that the birds are still here? If so, who? It's not just one or two but several flocks.

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.

Remember we turn our clocks one hour ahead this week which means one less hour of sleep (BOO!) but more daylight (YEAH!) hours. At last it's that time of year where the sun will no longer be setting by 4:30pm.

Whatever your plans are have a brilliant weekend.~x

"Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler"

 

 Cocaine Princess here.

I love Carnival. I love everything about this day. Everyone at least once in their life needs to travel to the sensual city of Rio de Janeiro and experience everything Carnival has to offer.

One of my favorite movies, "Wild Orchid" was filmed in Rio.

An instrumental piece called "Love Theme" by Paradise is truly breathtaking which I have posted below. The music doesn't start until 5:28--- when Carre Otis spots Mickey Rourke so you may want to fast forward unless you want to see a bunch of naked people covered in body glitter and paint celebrating Carnival that is.

Today is also known as Fat Tuesday referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season. Nowadays not everyone commits to fasting. Some choose to give something up, for example smoking as a form of penitence. I already started 11 days ago when I gave up Energy Drinks. (If you missed that post, click here. ) The only difference is I plan on giving up for good and not until Easter. 

So my Lovelies, are planning to give anything up? If so, what?

Enjoy the day eating to your heart's content.  My sweet tooth is going to have a good time, oh yeah!!

XOXOXOXO,
Cocaine Princess
