Since I have to work tonight the manfriend (Curtza-Roozle as I affectionally call him) and I had our little valentines day on Friday night. By that I mean we went for a gawk walk... which is my favourite thing to do. There is one neighbourhood in the city that has the most wonderful houses and I like to go walk (or drive) around looking at them all. I guess it's kind of a creepy hobby if you live in any of those houses! One street has a roundabout surrounding a big fountain that is usually packed with people but I thought no one would be there since it was 11:30 PM on a Friday night in February and it would be a good place to take some pictures. Turns out I was right, it was empty. I then realized no one was there because it's essentially a giant pile of snow. As we drove around looking for another spot we found this building which I have never seen before. Some kind of government house, only nowhere near the other legislative buildings? Of course another obnoxious couple came along screeching and smelling of marijuana cigarettes (thats what the cool kids call that right?!) and we left deciding that for the rest of the night we could only talk in sing-song. Good thing I have a whole song about Curtza-Roozle. It involves noodles, poodles, strudels, and canoodles (lame, you say? Isn't that what valentines day is about?!)...

What a cool house! You look great--and the new layout looks good too!
ReplyDeleteThat house looks amaaaazing! And don't worry, I often do little house-envy trips where I pout outside picture perfect cottages wishing they were mine... xx
ReplyDelete♥ your bag and shoes
ReplyDeleteThat house! I am sort of expecting it to take off and fly away like the one in that Steven King story..
What a cute idea for Valentines. I don't think your hobbie is that weird. My parents used to take us for drives when we were little to look at all the giant fun houses in Calgary, and I still love doing it. There is one house that has mini golf on their front lawn!!
ReplyDeletePS. Love your dress, coat, and shoes!!!!
that house is beautiful.
