Happy Thanksgiving Day my babies! For all those who don't have the luxury of living here on Fantasy Island, let me tell you that the power went out last nite. At 5:40 p.m. Not a scattered outage either, the entire Island from midway down was without power for awhile. Ours was back on this morning when HRG opened her weary eyes. It was an odd thing, but you know, we're Canadians, we adapt.
Time passes by so quickly--it was a year ago that MM graced our doorsteps, that I hugged HB so hard I thought she might break in half. It's also been a year since someone we all know and love went into a pout. He should learn to stamp both his feet though--it's far more effective that way.
And it's been a year since we've eaten broccoli casserole. TCB can hardly wait. MM sent the recipe, forever endearing herself to him, and it will be served tonite. MM you saved our marriage!
Tomorrow is the "big" day here in the frozen north. It's the day we go to the polls and elect our new leader. It's pretty much a given that we'll elect the same leader we already have, but here's hoping he only gets a minority government. His racist, homophobic views DO NOT reflect those of the majority of Canadians. And I can't envision him dropping his drawers as quickly for Obama as he does for his Texan Twin.
My babies, there is more to say, and I have promised test results, but for now, HRG must get into the shower and get ready to face another work day.
I'm tired babies.
But there is broccoli casserole.

As a wannabe Canadian I must say my thanks on this special day.
1 year ago TCB & HRG together did something wonderful and paid my way there so I could see my friends and finally see this great place I'd heard so much about. And I will forever grateful.You two are a wonder to behold. I saw so many beautiful sites,was fed fabulous food and hugged by my oldest and dearest friends. You cannot know how great it was to just curl up on a sofa with HRG and have a real face to face girl talk. :-)HRG..thanks for EVERYTHING. For all those years back and more.You know that we calm each other right? ;-)When the commitment phobia strikes the other talks the other down...lol! LOVE YOU!
You all don't know the tale but many moons ago I was in a very bad way and these Canadians had my back and then some.
I'm thankful I got to meet TCB who is just the sweetest man on earth and I am proud to call him my adopted brotherinlaw.
Two best friends that had stopped speaking for 10 years...almost...decided to reunite...right before I got there. We all nagged for years but it had to be when THEY were ready. Nobody owns that moment or can lay claim to it or is OWED the right to watch it.....it just was. And it was fabulous,full of smiles and tears. I am grateful I got to see that also. (Viva Las Vegas Part Deux)Bear Run was a fabulous magical setting and the staff put up with our tears and pictures.
DTVCB...well that part makes me very sad still. I don't understand how my coming there, which was something he always wanted me to do,caused me to lose my best male friend.Things were handled badly on both our parts and yet he can't EVER forgive me? Ever?I lost him and his furry sidekick and for that I will always be sad. But I'm still grateful that he was in my life at all....I learned a lot,he is a formidable friend and has a huge heart.I'm still sorry and I will always love you both. Even if you don't love me back.
On the 'Merican side I got to see a friend I had not seen since highschool for the first time since highschool.WOW!(In Minnesota)
I also got to see Diana in Seattle. My dear friend that I met when I was 20 and had not seen in about 10 years. I met the man she had been talking about since she was 20.Good to see some things are just meant to be. Di is a strong and special friend to me and has been through a lot lately. Every parent's worst nightmare happened to her and yet she still is standing,strong,sassy...and is POSITIVE.WOW again. I was utterly humbled.
I am thankful I got to meet HLBG's family at long last. Her kidlets are all grown up and gorgeous,her hubby is amazing and has been so kind to me even as I cried over DTVCB mess.(cause ya know must guys would be all "Geesh get your wingnut friend outta here honey!")HLBG you always have the other half of the brain and I miss you everyday.
So....to avoid more Canadian border hassles...can I just move in? ;-)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
