Not much going on...

Did a little thinking about some Christmas gifts today...Since I'm coming from Korea there isn't much I can get here, at least in terms of what I think family might want...So it's been lots of Internet browsing...ahahah!

I've got my Christmas lights twinkling, and a cinnamon scented (I almost typed flavoured..hahah!) candle burning..It's Christmas-y in my little apartment on the other side of the world! Less than 2 weeks till I arrive in Ottawa, hopefully met by a Ceasar (or at least with plans to have one somewhere on the drive home!)

Here's a picture of my Uncle Paul with 2 of his grandsons..The new baby is my cousin Pat's son, Zakk, and the older boy is Nathaniel, my cousin Chantal's oldest son...I see a HUGE resemblance in all of them...Do you?

It's beginning to look a look like...Christmas...

Just a quick update...Seems they are all quick these days actually!

Most importantly today....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!

My students wanted to know how old my "baby" brother was...21. Can you believe it? Hope you have a great day Mike!

You might notice a few snowflakes falling on your screen..In my "free" time - I found a site with loads of cool tricks you can put on your blog..stay posted for me!

Next up, my cousin Pat and his girlfriend Sophie have had their baby! A little boy named Zakk. FELICITATIONS!

Finally, Seoul was EXCELLENT - there are pictures but they are not blog-appropriate..Maybe next time!

This weekend Bret's throwing a final HURRAH! party - so I will try to take some photos there and share them with you!

Happy Wednesday!

I'll be home for Christmas....

That's right! Less than a month now till I get on a jet plane and fly to the Great White North! And I CAN'T WAIT! Visiting with family and friends, shopping, eating..it's all good!

I'm headed to Seoul this weekend to celebrate Bret's final HURRAH! He's moving back to Canada, Montreal actually, at the end of the year...So a few of us are heading up there for some documented good times. I wasn't too excited about it, but waking up today, I can't wait to get there! As you know I lost my little camera. I'm not too keen on taking the BIG ONE with me, so we'll see what happens! Seoul at Christmas time is quite beautiful....maybe I can borrow someones?!?!

Anyways, there's not much to report...I was just on Yahoo.com news - and these were the headlines...

1)Tiger Woods OK after Car accident!

2)Top Ten Movie Flops

3)Secret Service Embarrassed

4)Clunker Rebates...

REALLY? That's the best of what's going on in the news? I guess it is yahoo.com....but I was surprised that none of the stories were remotely, well, how to say this, stimulating??!?!

Off to Seoul! Enjoy your weekend!

Cousin Update!

All good news to report!

First up, Lisa has had her baby! A little girl, born this morning, or was it last night? No name yet, but here are a few pictures for you to see!

Next up: I just got off the phone, well Skype actually, with Jen and Joanne...It was great to see them and talk to them in real time! Jen's doing well, and was in bright spirits! She's 28 weeks now and ready for the babies, but wants them to stay in as long as possible! She showed me where on her belly they are - tres cool!

There have also been a few baby showers, and wedding showers...I will try to get some more pictures up, but for now it's almost 3am and I should get up at a reasonable time in the morning!

All for now!

Thailand Pics!

Hey all! I know I promised these last week, but there were so many that it was hard to choose! There are quite a few in the album, but I know you'll appreciate them!

I'm running out of space on the page that I usually post them on, so we're going to try something a little different this time...Let me know what you think, you can't do a slide show with this program (actually, they're just from facebook) - but I'm not sure if any of you do that anyways!

Click here to see them!

Enjoy!

I havent forgotten about you!

I've been both lazy and busy...Strange combination, but it seems that every year when winter arrives this happens to me...! Regardless, I have some bad news. I lost one of the cameras that I took with me on our trip...So there are a few events that won't be documented...But the good news is that it was my small point and shoot that was lost, not the big (and expensive!) DSLR...phew!

I uploaded the pics today, there are over 300...So I'll need to do some editing and hopefully have them ready for you over the weekend!

Happy Rememberance Day - talk to you soon!

Happy Birthday Dad!

He's in China so I can't be sure he'll even see this on this birthday, but I thought I'd post just in case!

They are on their last day in China, and will be home this week...We had a great time in Thailand, and I will post my "review" as well as pics as soon as I find my little camera...Hmmm, where is it?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

A few pics!

Street food...yum!

Hmmm...i'll have the, well, the third one down I guess...!!!

You know it! Thanks to Mom and Dad! The glass is actualyl filled with Ceasar Pleaser...a ghetto substitute that does the trick...I drank the real one of course!
