 I feel like all Canadians know when the American Thanksgiving is, but not so much the other way around. I was on a flight back home to Newfoundland for a Thanksgiving break, spending 8 days with my family. On the flight to head home there was a couple of men from the states. The older gentleman sitting next to me asked me where I was from, and why I was heading out east. You betcha I questioned him just as much as he did, me. That’s when I found out he was from North Dakota with a few of his friends, getting ready to go hunting moose in Newfoundland. Fun fact: The Bush Family have been to Newfoundland/Labrador to go fishing and hunting. After we landed in St. John’s I told him Happy Thanksgiving, not necessarily forgetting he was from the states, especially with his accent — he had a confused look on his flight. It’s Thanksgiving in Canada? He asked. Yup, I said with a grin and explained to him that the Canadian thanksgiving happens on the same weekend as Columbus Day in the States. Fun little fact there, for the American readers of spiffykerms ;)
I feel like I’m all sorts of messed up with my posting schedule. I usually like to have blog posts up as early as 6:00am, but lately I’ve been pumping them out during the later part of the evenings. Bare with me as I get back on schedule :)
I went to CrossFit two nights in a row, after taking a three+ week break from it. Why do I do that to myself? All day today I’ve been pushing doors with my body instead of using my arms.
Alfie turns 4 years old today! We’re going to celebrate by taking him for an extra long walk in the park and get him some treats!
I’m surprised at how high functioning I am after 5hrs of sleep last night. I normally require and get double that. Lol. We saw a movie last night. Of course it was the late one, because we’re always busy and head out the door moments after getting home from work. I went to CrossFit last night, making it two days in a row. After a 3 week break, my body is definitely feeling it.
It’s laundry day. I have 3 loads in the wash right now and I forgot to put soap in the first washer with one of those silly tide pods. It’s an apartment style washer so i can’t open it when it’s running. So I had to race back upstairs, get liquid detergent and pour some in after it started. Of course, it’s the more “important” load that needed to be done tonight, for something going on tomorrow. If it’s not clean, I’ll just run it again ($$$) with even more soap. Lol.
I mailed off my friends birthday gift during my lunch break. Her birthday is on Sunday. I hope it gets to her on time!
I also mailed off a dancing Halloween card to my nephews in Newfoundland. Thinking it will definitely get there on time. Unless Canada Post is slow. Which is usually is.
I need to get on the ball and send Leanne the photos of the giveaway prizes I took yesterday morning. We’re doing a collab giveaway on both of our blogs. I don’t want to give anything away yet. But stay tuned!
Oh! Oh. Don’t forget to enter into the Annabelle Cosmetics 24 twistup lipstick crayons giveaway! It’s open to everyone in the USA & Canada until October 29. :)
