snowbound in toronto.....

As the majority of my readers know (I say that like I am a well known author who hundreds, possibly thousands of people adore and are inspired by) since the 27th of the 12th month of the 2007th year, I have spent many days in the capital city of the province that also contains the capital city of the country of the so called great white north.

It all began on the 27th (Thursday) at about 6:30pm. Location: Corunna.
After a full day at work - I don't say full day with the implication that I actually did a lot of work but rather was there for the all the hours of operation. I went to my mom's place - put together my stuff and headed out to Toronto to help celebrate my first ever Negaversary... meeting the majority of the individuals in the wedding party for my Jen and Mark. I think that it was a very successful night - enjoyed by all - I think that Jen and Mark have a really interesting (in the good way) wedding party - everyone seems pretty awesome. I think that the 366 minus days until the wedding are going to have the stressful moments for Jen and Mark - but its going to be a great event!

The next day I stayed in Toronto - Jen, Mark and I went to the movies and saw JUNO. It was really good - I recommend it - unlike I am Legend which I think one should only watch if they are bored and it happens to be on television. The adventure to the movies though was unlike many other trips. Upon entering the theatre - the smell would smack anyone in the face. mmmmm wet popcorn + soggy winter jacket smell. Who wouldn't love that smell liquified and put into a bottle to be sold in all major department stores as perfume during the holiday season? A good salesperson can sell anything!!! However, that wasn't the the worst part - the part that was gross was the mouse. There were probably more than one mouse - but I presonally only saw one running amongst our feet. And when Jen approached who appeared to be the manager at the end of the show - she told us that they had been having a problem with mice and had hired two companies to take care of it but apparently it hasn't worked yet. Awesome.

The next day after hanging out with Jen and Mark again for a bit I headed to Sharon's for a brief visit before heading home.....which actually turned into another night in Toronto. But seriously... what is there to complain about with that?

Sunday - I don't get to watch much football as I actually had to travel back to Corunna... why? Because I had to work on the Monday - the last day of the year. I did get to see my Colts play - well I got to see the backup players who are on the team play.... they lost - but that was expected.

I worked Monday - and then got back in my car and drove back to Toronto. Yes back to Toronto - for NYE at Maggies which was a good time and now I have to stop typing because Sharon and Rafa are ready to go (I dont know where we are going though!).... but that comes to the part about being snowbound in Toronto - the snow is really bad heading west past london - my mom called and told me to stay put - sharon got excited.

I'm so happy that you were here!!! For such a short time, Toronto was the city of my dreams as all of my favourite people were contained within it!
