I don’t know if it’s the time of year, or simply the fact that I need a vacations or because I've been busy for the past two weeks but life seems to be zooming by me. I haven’t been blogging much, and was really sad to read Pigeon’s last post. 
She decided to fly away from Blogsville. I'll miss reading her blog and her rants as if she was this old English woman when in fact she's a sweet young thing... She felt it was time for her to dedicate herself to her work and less time to blogging, which I totally respect, but I will miss her nonetheless... No matter what, she was, is and will remain a good blend! Good luck Chuck!
Had a nice relaxing weekend up north, in Tremblant, at a cousin's cottage. Everything was white, and soooo quiet, what a nice (& much needed) change from the city. We did manage to go snowshoeing for a short while, around the lake, but when we saw "open water" that was our cue to turn back. Overall, it was a good weekend.
A little while back I saw this on a blog (can’t remember for the life of me where) and thought it was interesting.
Bright, chipper, vivid, but with the emotional fortitude of cottage
cheese, you make quite an impression on everyone you meet. You're impulsive, rash, honest, and probably don't have a great relationship with your parents. People hurt your feelings constantly, but your brazen honestly doesn't exactly treat others with kid gloves. Ultimately, though, you win the hearts and minds of everyone that matters.
You spell your name with an E and you want everyone to know about it.
Seems accurate, especially the part about my honesty and the fact that I spell my (real) name with an E! Plus just like Anne, I'm Canadian.

I love the monkey/pigeon pic, and Ms. Pigeon will be missed. I hope she still drops by our blogs from time to time.
And my quiz result:
You're Ulysses!
by James Joyce
Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared
to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do
understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once
brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in
the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you
additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.
I'm "Compassion Fatigue". Maybe I need to read that, then...
I WISH I were Anne of Green Gables! I loved that whole series growing up, and I still have them all!
...to clarify, I wish I were Anne of Green Gables in the QUIZ...not for real. Very happy with who I am thankyouverymuch.
Are you going to start spelling your name "Stinkypawe" now? ;-) I loved Anne of Green Gables.
I was Ulysses, too. Suits me because I never make sense when I talk but I tend to be vulgar. LOL!!!!
You say such nice things. But I'l keep lurking by here, you don't get rid of me that easy, mwahahah!
That pic is so unbelievably cute!
Gonna toddle off and do the quiz now....
You're Love in the Time of Cholera!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the one hand, you've loved the same person your whole life, but on the other, your actions barely speak to this fact. Whatever you do, stick to bottled water. The other stuff could get you killed.
So, I'm a total slut that doesn't know what love is?? Somehow, i think that may be a tad wrong....
Godspeed, Pigeon.
I took the quiz, too:
You're To Kill a Mockingbird!by Harper Lee
Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have
changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to
persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you, but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.
marius: I'm sure Pigeon will fly by for regular visits, no worries.
I don't know about the vulgarity thing, but the the first sentence sorts of ring right... :-)
3c: You should have put the description of "Compassion Fatigue" - I'm curious. And it's a good thing to be happy with who we are.
ananke: Nah, but changes are coming though.
pigeon: Glad you liked the picture, and you will be missed. Now your book is just plain weird!
tammie: Sounds somewhat right and how appropriate that you're all about birds!
