My friend Katie made this button for me. Please go visit ELEMONTOPIA and see her talented work.

In winter, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark - while only working eight-hour days.
You know that Dawson Creek is a town, not a TV show.
You can point to at least two ski mountains, even if you cannot see through the cloud cover.
You notice "the mountain is out" when it is a pretty day and you can actually see it.

You switch to your sandals when it gets about 10, but keep the socks on.

You go broke just paying rent.
You don't own a heavy winter coat.
You can't figure out why Manitoba is considered part of Western Canada.
You wouldn't be caught dead on Vancouver Island or Vancouver without your umbrella and plastic shoes.

I scream you scream, we all scream for ice-cream.....
You Are Chocolate Ice Cream
You have a flair for the dramatic and love to party.
Your personality is super strong and unique.
Many people crave you constantly - while you turn a few off.
You are most compatible with coffee ice cream.
I have a photoblog! You'll notice the little 'flipbook' to the left. Use the arrows to browse a few pictures, and any time you'd like to see a full size image or the complete album, just click the thumbnail. Also, I've noticed my humble blogocile has been a tad slow to load lately. The problem is with the comments service I use. I'm auditioning replacements as we speak, so have patience...............as you were kids.

Want to play doctor?......
So I realise that all the animal people out there are going awwwwww, after reading this news story. Sounds cute, but I have a question..what the hell possesses you to cut open a dead cat. I'm imagining the conversation at home that night....Hi girls...what did you get up to today? Hey mom, oh not much, we found a dead cat and cut it open. Well you better go wash your hands before dinner...no telling where that dead cat had been. I suppose it keeps the little darlings off the streets, and the experience should make for an interesting 'what I did on my summer holiday' essay, when school starts this fall.
