Day of Departure


Ok... this is not so exciting just yet. I'm still packing and it's 10 minutes to 9 pm. So I'm taking a break to give a quick up date. Our flight leaves at 2:55 am so I a few more hours to cram a few more belongings into my backpack.

Of course, those of you who know my mom know that as a family member heading back to the homeland, one must also bring gifts. So I am bringing back gifts for some family. But, once again, if anyone is at all familiar with my family, the gifts are almost always odd. We don't give wine or cigars or anything of that sort. Some people may suggest I bring gifts of maple syrup, something distinctly Canadian. But no, that would be so un"Ho" like.

Let me share with you a tally of items I am bringing as gifts:


  • A LARGE grocery bag of full of Metamucil - in individual sized packs of course (yes I said Metamucil... I guess some people need to stay regular)

  • 30 bottles of green liniment oil (I like to call it snake oil myself)

  • Two big Costco size bins of Cows candy (this one makes some sense to me as it's for my little cousins)

Anyhow, since I'm only bringing one pack, the Metamucil, snake oil and candy are really taking up a lot of space! But alas, I love my mamma and I need to take them with me. "I'm doing this for you Ma!"


Ok, enough procrastinating... I have to try and fit in some underwear amongst the Metamucil.
