From the wilds of Canada...

We are getting closer...today we leave British Columbia and enter the Yukon Territories. Woot.

It's still three more nights on the road before the last push into Anchorage.

We have had adventures with high winds and the canoe -- always fun to think your canoe is going to be ripped from the roof of your SUV and crash into the windshield of the car behind you. Which is something I bet doesn't happen every day on the SoCal freeway system...(The canoe is still firmly attached to the roof of the Suburban, thank goodness.)

We saw a black bear along the road yesterday, some deer, a couple feral Canadians. Tess saw a moose, but the rest of us missed it.

Must go, we have 300-some miles to travel today.

Thanks for all the messages!

The feral Canadians are easy to control. Just hand 'em a beer, eh?

By the time you get there, I'll be gone!
I'm leaving for France on Friday night for our holliday in the Provence! I have posts planned for every day while I'm gone, so ...
I wish you a safe trip and hope to see and read you again when I get back! See you, take care!

You like me! You really really like me!

Or maybe you just find me horribly annoying and are about to let me know. Go ahead, I can deal.

So, whatever, you know, leave a message. Thanks!!!

Okay -- updating my profile because I never removed the guinea pigs from it, even though they have been elsewhere for months.

Um...new obsession (HA) the elliptical trainer in the garage. I hate the thing, but today I burned 395 calories. I know. I so wanted to burn 5 more to make it an even 400, but then I would be at 50 minutes and 19 seconds, so I would have to make that round out to an even 51 minutes, and then the mileage could be rounded up to a more even number, and then the calories would be just a few away from 450, but then I could do just a few more seconds, then another few hundredths of a mile, and so on until finally I would fall off, hit my head, end up in the hospital with another nasty concussion, and gain weight because I am bedridden. It was so much easier to just burn the 395 calories.

We moved from the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona to the almost Arctic of Anchorage. I like the winters of Anchorage better than the summers of Tucson, so far.

Still have three kids, the oldest one is a freshman at the U of Arizona (dang it, now I will have to edit this again in a few months), the other two live on Fort Richardson with me and the dogs and the husband.

Other obsessions...my camera, my IPod Touch, my sewing machine. Fabric. Definitely fabric. Dishes. It's a thing females in my family have, an obsession with dishes. Pottery, and earthenware. Silver, definitely. Not crystal and china though. I am not a big fan of the fussy and overly ornate, and both crystal and china tend to fall into those categories, to me. Plus if I have delicate dishware, then I can't have the kids wash the dishes or put it in the dishwasher.

Other than that, I weigh too much, sleep too little, am very liberal, rabidly pro-choice, find it insane this country does not have universal health care, and think the world may be a better place with Obama at the helm. Oh, yeah, and chocolate. Much much chocolate.
