Christmas is over

all I can say is yay. Christmas is over. Now before you go calling me a Scrooge let me tell you why.

I have a 9 year old son who loves gifts. He just had his birthday and is already telling me what he wants for his next birthday. He gets so wrapped up in the season that he can't slow down.

In fact, at Christmas 2003 he woke us up at 4:30 in the morning! We were only able to put him off by 1 hour so we were done all the unwrapping by 7AM. That made for a long day - especially when you've invited the family over for the traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings.

So this year we did things a little different - we had Christmas dinner on Christmas eve, and prepared what's called a "Wife Saver Breakfast" for Christmas morning - basically you throw this thing in the oven before opening gifts and after your done with the festivities you have a baked breakfast that's ready to eat.

So anyways, this year we were prepared - dinner was out of the way and breakfast for the big day was ready. We even had to stay up a little later than usual this year to ensure Santa wasn't caught by an excited boy. And guess what?

He slept until 7:30. Who would have thunk it?

It's super Tuesday

Being a Canadian I don't much care who the next president is (usually) as long as it's not GWB. Thankfully this year will mark the end of his dismal career in the Whitehouse. But this year I have been paying attention as a lot of Canadians are I think. That is because for the first time in history you have the opportunity to see a black man or a white woman in the oval office. The only problem is that they are in the same party, however the fact that one of these 2 will become the leader of a major political party in the US and therefore have a really good shot at being the next president makes this an interesting story to follow. Add into the mix the fact that I believe many Americans are tired of not only Bush politics but Bush's party altogether and the chance of a black or female president becomes that much greater. So today is bigger than some people may realize because today's voting may decide who the next president of the US is.

Trailer Trash

For a long time I've been lead to believe that the term "trailer trash" was a derogatory term. But I've been thinking about this for a while and I realized that that is not the case. In fact I believe that I am trailer trash. Not only that I'm proud to admit it. You see, to me "trailer trash" represents a person (or group of people) who just don't give a shit what anyone else thinks of them. It has nothing to do with the fact that they may or may not live in a mobile home, it has more to do with an attitude, in my opinion. For example, in the city where I live, lots of people are more concerned with keeping up with their neighbours, or what their friends think of them than should be. I've lived my life these past few years just how I want to. I don't care what others think about me or how I live my life. And we've tried to instil that into our son - that he be more concerned with how he feels and not what others think. Because let...
