Thanksgiving in Canada

It’s that time of year again and so I’ll wish a Happy Turkey Day to any Canadians reading this. Last year at this time we had a double dose of it because the day after Thanksgiving was Election Day in Canada, so on Monday we ate turkey and on Tuesday we voted for turkeys!

I don’t usually take part in these types of posts but I found this “I’ve come to Realize” on a couple of blogs I read (All Stace, All the Time and My kids are my World) and decided, what the heck,a blog isn’t a blog until you at least do one .. so here goes.

7. I’ve come to realize that if I’m drunk … I will suffer the next day and more so now that I’m older.

20. I’ve come to realize that tonight …I’m going to go to bed early because there’s nothing decent to watch on TV.

21. I’ve come to realize that tomorrow … will become the yesterday of today.

22. I’ve come to realize that I really want to … do something completely different.

23. I’ve come to realize that the person who is most likely to repost this is … someone who doesn’t realize the amount of time it takes to come up with some witty responses.
