Happy Canada Day!

Okay, so I'm a little late on the Canada Day thing - don't judge me! lol.
I always find myself doing the most random things for Canada day. This thought brings back the memory of when me and a couple of friends had a 'white trash' Canada Day. We opted to have a potluck supper in my friend's backyard because we knew the park would be too crowded. We had discussed going to a nearby pool but figured that would be busy as well. All this plus the fact that there was a chance of rain that day....not that that is any surprise. It was the best time ever as 'lame' as it was but really, I thought it was one of the greatest days EVER. We sat around in camping chairs and put our feet in a little kiddy pool and didn't do a whole lot. The rain that was called for never came and I actually ended up getting burnt, like BAD! Oh, and we got a little tanked too. teehee.

This year, we did a whole lot of nothin' much. Keith did dishes (thank you baby) while I went to see some family that is in town for the week/weekend. From there I went to run some errands and then we headed to my sister's for supper which involved a significant amount of wine. Thank you sis! :)
After all of that we came home to watch a movie and sure enough, I hear this loud noise thinking our neighbours upstairs were closing their balcony doors. I turn my head only to see the whole sky light up like crazy! I got up to look out and it looked a tsunami was taking place in the field behind our house. Sure enough our power went out about 30 minutes into the storm. From there I proceeded to get the flashlight and ended up stubbing my toe and stepped on the buckle of one of Keith's belts which hurt like hell. Once I found it we basically went to bed and I was out just like the power.lol.

All this has got me to thinking of a few things. First of all, I've never had an 'off' Canada day. Even when I plan nothing I end up being where I find I want to be and am thankful for that. Is it because I have the bestest friends and family in the world? DEFINITELY....but I also think it has to do with the fact that I'm in Canada - and I wouldn't rather be anywhere else. And my other thought was, it's time we put a request in to change our year from having 4 seasons, to possibly 5. I officially call this season of wind, rain, hail, heat and humidity the season of 'WTF'. lol.

CHEERS! :)
