Watched the Olympic Gold medal hockey game with some awesome friends and just in case you live under a rock and didn't know it yet, CANADA WON!!!!
After our friends left we could hear horns honking from downtown so we doubled up on the big scooter and went to join in.
Most.
Fun.
EVER!
My two little dollar store Canadian flags were waved to within an inch of their little lives, we did a whackload of high-fives, there was much hooting and much hollering!! What an awesome experience to see all sorts of people, of all ages (there was a Grandma enjoying an ice cream cone, brandishing a hockey stick) letting loose and celebrating...the energy, the community....it was amazing. To think that this is going on in every Canadian city is just astounding, and very heartwarming.
Yay Canada!!!
Let's do this again in another 4 years, ok?

Finally, a post about the cat!
Those of you who know me are probably pretty impressed that I've had the self-control not to carry on about the cat post after post. I realize that not everyone is as fascinated by her as we are. And we are. Pathetically so...we know it, we've accepted it, you should too.
Her latest thing is to nap in the laundry basket that we keep in the closet.
Can I get a "Hallelujah!" from all you cat owners out there!! How awesome is that, hey?!
For you non-cat-owning people out there (and I'm so sad for you): cats like to find little hidey-holes and sleep there over and over again. We moved the bed around a while back and found a lovely little cat hair coated nest on a blanket. You should have seen the lint trap after I washed that thing! We are used to finding these.
We've found hairy nests in the closet on piles of folded up clothes (Rubbermaid=cat-owners best friend). I found one on the top of some folded up fleece blankets stored under my sewing desk. We are clever now and always spread a towel over top of the folded, stacked bath towels so when she wants to play "The Princess and the Pea" on the tower of towels, they are protected.
(I love that cat but there's nothing grosser than toweling off and having a fine coat of cat hair left behind.)
We come back to the laundry basket nest. Oh man, but it's a thing of beauty! It's a win-win situation for everybody involved: quiet, dark, private, smells like Mom & Dad...what more could a cat want?
For us....easy clean-up! It's perfect.
Except when I throw something in there not knowing it's nap-time. She has yet to be impressed with that.
See, now wasn't that fascinating?
