a milestone post

The next person that reads/stumbles upon my blog will be my 1000th page view!! 

I'm not obsessed with the number of hits my blog receives, but I do appreciate everyone who takes the time to read my blog.

I don't really have much else to say, I just wanted to acknowledge this accomplishment and thank my readers!

I have a more meaningful post soon...hopefully. 

Dear Olympics

I've seen these 'letter link ups' around the blogosphere before but I am usually to late and never have letters to write. I think the link ups are usually written on Fridays but the Olympics have inspired me to write today and since the closing ceremonies are today, there is no greater time than now!
Find out who I am writing my letters to after the jump.

I wish the internet had an edit button

I wish the internet had an edit button, I am not saying I am perfect and never make typos or grammar errors. I know I do.
If I double checked my writing I might make less. But honestly when I re-read my work, I find things I want to change and it would take me even longer to post.
However, I wish I could edit other people's work. Again, I'm not perfect and I don't pretend to be. I really don't think I could be an editor but sometimes I see things and I just hurt a bit inside.
I usually refrain from posting in the comments something along the lines of 'can you re-write your first paragraph, there are a few errors that are killing me' or 'oh you're going to do this. But your dog can't be left alone.' But alas I don't want to hurt feelings or be rude and there are no edit buttons.
I am guilty of making the you're and your mistake before, when I'm in a hurry and not thinking. But I really try not to. There, their and they're another one. Saw and seen another example that hurts.
See this post is all over the place, just like my mind.
Don't even get me started on the 'text-lingo'.
I will end this little rant here. I just saw an error that set me off. It was the title of a post and I had to read the post to figure it out what it was about. It was then that I wished there was an edit button. [I bet people read my blogs and wish there was an edit button.]

Happy 25th Sid!!

Today is 'Sid the Kid's 25th birthday! [I don't often call him Sid the Kid, I mean he isn't a kid.]

It's crazy to believe it has been 3 years since my mom and I were in Cole Harbour, helping him celebrate his 22nd birthday and his day with the Stanley Cup!! [yes, mom it's been 3 years!]

baby you're a firework...

A little Katy Perry anyone?! haha This post isn't about Katy Perry, that was just what came to mind when I started this post and it works, so go with it.
La Ronde and Montreal host this crazy firework competition every summer. I thought the shows took place every Saturday, but they happen on some week days too!
It was a solid half hour of fireworks set to music. I was in a pretty ideal location to watch them but I missed some of the lower ones.  After the jump I'll have pics.
