August, 2010

It has been almost two years since I moved from Canada to the US. I did it for my husband—worth it. But there are many customs and things I miss.

  • taking your shoes off when you come in the door
  • Cadbury chocolate bars
  • three feet of fluffy snow for Christmas
  • public health care
  • May 24 weekend
  • Zellers
  • Tim Hortons — I don’t like the coffee but I like doughnuts!
  • a salad bowl of people instead of a melting pot
  • decriminalized marijuana
  • gay marriage across the nation!

We are going to a Masquerade this weekend and I am going to go as the Queen of Hearts, just because I wanted to buy those tights with hearts on like I had when I was little, and I want to wear lipstick like this. I am making my mask and found this amazing tutorial on YouTube. It won’t work for me now, but it is the best one I have seen online.

Makes me want to dance.
