A yak, an attack and whole lot of crack

We decided to venture down to the local Burlington Mall to get some last minute items from the Dollar Store. Not sure why we felt they were last minute items, since it is only December 15th. There were some chimps running loose in the mall and we got a couple bags of popcorn so we could sit down and enjoy the show. *Mila* (who did not have any breakfast, although both of her parents liked to believe that she did eat some of her many waffles) horked down half a Kernels bag of 'Say Cheese Please', even though she asked for "Cheesy Dill". And I was sure that she wouldn't know the difference. But all those months at my parents house smelling spices got to her. She knows the difference between tarragon and tumeric. No fooling her. So she horks down this ginormous bag of popcorn and then proceeds to yak it all up on her dad's new boot tissue paper. Luckily he had it ready to receive the yakamory gift.

Tonight during stories and "talking animals" (a stuffed animal extravaganza), *Steve* interrupted to let us hear his rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas. "It's a high tech version" he tells us. Yes, it is and isn't it nice. On the first day of Christmas he got a high definition TV. Then on the second day he got 2 PSPs. I think it was turning into a Sony ad, because he was adding Vaios and things that I had to ask what the H-E-double-hockey-stick they were. As he rapped his little ditty to us, we couldn't help but lose interest around the 6th day and I think that's as far as he had got. I tried to help, but my rhythm is off apparently. Sucks being a girl.

And now for the crack portion of the story...we are supposed to be in for 45 cm of snow (yes, they've upped the ante) and we've had so far 1 mm of snow. I'm not sure why we are under a winter storm warning and told to stay home and cancel ALL travel plans. This would include traveling to the local LCBO for more vodka. All Dollarama travel plans for tomorrow are now cancelled. We had plans tonight that we had to cancel because of Yak-a-mina and tomorrow we'll probably be staying home during the "THE FINAL WINTER STORM WARNING WATCH OF 2007....stay tuned"....
