I want to take a moment to wish all of my Canadian friends a very Happy Canada Day!!

I assume that this day is similar to the USA’s 4th of July or Independence Day, whichever you prefer to call it, so I looked it up.

Via a Canadian Heritage page:

We are proud of the nation we have built together over the last 144 years. Since the earliest days of our history, Canada has been a land of promise. We have built a society that celebrates achievement and excellence, while at the same time maintaining a strong respect for human rights. Our participation in Celebrate Canada activities brings us together, strengthens our communities, and helps us understand the significance of the citizenship we all share.

And then here is a little something I find hilarious…and well, this is really kind of how I feel!!!

someecards.com - Canada Day is a great reminder to move to Canada if any of the current Republican presidential candidates win

Haha…Happy Canada Day everyone!!

I just love those cheesy glitter myspace graphics! …ok back on track!… Happy 4th of July!! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. We don’t have any solid plans for our 4th. We may go see fireworks at my sister’s house tonight, but I am not sure yet. I’d like to take some photos of the ‘works with my new camera. We still have some time to decide. We were going to BBQ burgers, but my husband isn’t feeling well, so I think we may just order from Texas Roadhouse or something. Oooh maybe Chili’s…they have *really* good ribs! hmm…I’ll have to suggest that instead! lol

A quick update on Miss seizure kitty, Beans…so far she’s been doing well. No more seizures as far as we know. She’s actually more friendly now if that is even possible! Maybe she had a near-death experience and it changed her a bit…who knows. But she’s doing good. I really hope it was a fluke thing. So odd though…2 animals who have had seizures. Weird!

Yesterday was the 2nd of many wedding related sweatshops! We addressed, labeled and stamped my sister’s wedding invites. She wasn’t as organized with her addresses and names as my mother liked, so we had to get that in order as we went along. What should have been a couple hour job ended up being 10 hours! Which was fine, I’m not complaining at all. We had a good time…laughed a lot and in the end, it’s done. And we got to see her puppy, Samson! He’s such a cutie! He’s a mastiff mix…and omg he’s gonna be a MONSTER!

I took a lot of pictures, but this is one of my favorites. My dad had come over to drop something off and brought their dog, Mickey…well Mickey and Sam don’t get along really well so he had to take Mickey home and Sam was just sitting at the gate watching my dad and Mickey get back into the car. It was really cute.

Time to go discuss dinner plans with the hubbs…before I go, let me share a funny video! It is is HILAROUS! I haven’t ever seen it before. I swear, this could be any one of our boys…especially Malcolm and Alex! Enjoy!
