Have you ever broken a bone? If not, what's the worst injury you've sustained?

Every year (or two at the most) it seems I must break a foot or a toe - although this past year it was a finger instead :)  I've become quite the expert in managing broken foot-bones LOL  Two years ago something good came of my annual "break":  I got to meet Blue October and the entire band signed my cast.  The lead singer, Justin, had just injured his knee, so we had something in common LOL  I don't know if the break was actually worth it, but it did make it interesting, at the very least ;)

I gave myself a bit of indulgence - but just a bit ;) - and found myself walking out of the shop with the most awesome pair of Volatile ankle straps and two pairs of Chuck Taylors... at only $15 each!  I am a very happy girl :)

Photo, video or song... Show us laughter.  (This could also go under the category of "My favourite Canadian - Burton Cummings, I adore you :)  Again, perhaps taking creative license?!

Ever since we did a sweat lodge last weekend, I've been a little out of sorts.  So we went to John Carroll University yesterday to walk the labyrinth.  It totally put me back to rights - I immediately felt more grounded and centered, and I feel so blessed that we have such a beautiful thing available to us, practically in our backyard.  Thank you, John Carroll :)

Every year since we've been in Cleveland we've gone to a little resort town right on Lake Erie - Geneva-on-the-Lake, you get the name LOL - on the 4th of July.  It's kind of middle America meets bikers; and it's one street crowded with the most fabulous assortment of people, and lined with all kinds of little shops and entertainment:  antiques, tattoo parlors, mini golf, arcades, music, bars, restaurants, donuts, lemonade, souvenirs, etc.  Check out the sign for the mini golf course:  "The Oldest Miniature Golf Course in the United States in Continuous Play; Est. in 1924."  We think that's very cool!  Fireworks at 10 pm, everyone stops to ooh and ahh, and a good time is had by all :)

Thirteen Things I Can Find To Do To Put Off Doing What I'm REALLY Supposed To Be Doing:

 2.  Play my DS

 3.  Do laundry

 4.  Organize photos on the computer

 5.  Clean the litter boxes

 6.  Cook something fabulous

 7.  Fill the bird feeders

 8.  Watch TV so the DVRs don't implode (hey, I HAVE to do that ;)

 9.  Get another cup of coffee

10. Clean house

11.  Write in my journal

12.  Finish a knitting project

13.  Read 

What's your favorite song with "America" or "USA" in the title? Bonus points if you share it with us.         Taking creative license, I give you Nirvana's "Lake of Fire" :)

There aren't many things that make me happier than a stop at Gallucci's, and I typically wait until I need a few things that I like to get specifically from there... because I can walk out with SO much that I don't need, but must have :)  It's always an experience and delights all of my senses!  I can get lost in there for hours; yesterday, I was good :)  And the experience lives on in the two-bags-full that came home with me.  If you live in Cleveland, you probably know Gallucci's.  If you come to Cleveland, stop in and wander around - I think you'll be pleased :)

Alanis, we do love you!!!  And if I remember correctly - surely I do LOL - she was singing "O Canada" right at that very moment ;)

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!
