Road Trip!
Both of my siblings have blonde hair. I'm not talking about "blonde-ish brown" either; they have hair that's in the Pamela Anderson range, only theirs is natural.
This mystifies me. My mother's hair is brown, and my dad's can best be described as... reddish? I too share in the oh-so-common brown hair. But my siblings, with their blue and green eyes, are both the pale blonde of starlets and Swedes. I won't mention Children of the Corn or else they might hurt me with their powers.
Anyway this post is about one of those individuals because she's causing us to take a road trip! It won't be months long, like this other road trip that we took was, but we're taking one anyway.
My sister, tall blonde healer of bodies and maker of fake arms and legs, is gettin' hitched to her doctor boyfriend. They got engaged on Christmas day. Let's all say it together:
AAAAWWW.
Okay, that's enough. They're getting married in April in Ontario, and since we left the dogs behind for that last big trip, we're going to rent a car and drive to Ontario, so we can take them with us this time. We'll be taking our friend Kristie along with us too, so it'll totally turn into fun times on the Trans-Canada. Or that's the plan. Kristie invited herself to my quickie Vegas wedding, and I don't know what happened here but it appears she's going to my sister's too. I wonder if she got invited or just informed them she'd be present.
My sister THOUGHT she'd avoid drama and frustration by only giving us three months' notice and planning a small ceremony. It won't work. Trust me: you need to give four weeks' notice or less, become unreachable by being on the road and homeless, and then hold a minuscule ceremony in Las Vegas. Even then there will be a few shadows of attempts at family crap.
Anyway, dogs, friends, road trip, wedding. Since we'll be venturing into populated provinces, we can stop at essential places like Ikea. It will be fabulous.
One last unrelated thing: I won a free book online! From the author and everything! Life is good.

I want to go on a road trip too, but with the kids? Ja I dont think that would happen.
Ontario? thats where I live...
Hey, what book did you win? How did that happen?
Jessie - I don't think road trips are as much fun with kids. They don't appreciate the driving.
Jamie - has Mark emailed you? Is there any way you can pop over to Kingston and meet up with us?
Parents - I answered essay questions on the author's website (it's Jessie, who commented above). She was doing a contest to promote her newest book, called "Bombshell". If you go back to where I was talking about it you can click on the link to her website.

I was invited! Maybe they were scared not to. Also someone has to take pictures. :)
You guys have the same smile in that picture (you and kim that is).
You know, Manitoba is only a 22 hour drive from Toronto. Less than 3 hours from the Kenora border. Hint HINT!
And road trips with kids rock. Well, they suck too but the rock outweighs the suck. The trick is to stop at every possible rest stop and make them run a lot. This works well for furbabies also.
