The most amazing thing just happened....

It's pouring rain and I turned on the basic local cable TV and saw a Vancouver Canucks hockey game.

Rain + hockey, OMG, I thought I was back in BC!!!

So, tomorrow, I'm gonna go out and ask people in the street if they thought Vancouver should have had a shut-out or not. I'm sure most of them will be conversant in hockey lingo....

I have a pretty good Elvis story, myself. Some of you already know, but I'm adopted. My birth Mother was the youngest of eight children, and when her parents died very young, she and the other 3 youngest were placed in an orphanage in Memphis, back in the day. So she was extremely poor as well. She also met, in her teens, another teen, who would later become very famous. It is true what they say about him remembering his past, and those from his past. There are pictures of him with her, after he became famous. Pretty cool. My "Mom" partied with the King. I always liked to joke that if she was going to fool around at such a young age, she should have done it with HIM, eh???? I like to joke he could be my Daddy, but it would be waaay cooler had he actually been!!! Geeshhhh.

The adoption secret giveaway, combined with the season, is going to make you suffer through one more story....I was born in October, bu my adoptive parents didn't get to bring me home until Christmas Eve. Hence, my name is CAROL, because I am THEIR Christmas Carol. Awww. Also, I'm the best X-mas present they ever had, so they say, but I'm not buying it.

As usual, Cholula's post included a typo. I've corrected it below:

Thanks, gsw. I kind of like that particular story myself. It's nice to hear that from my folks, especially when all my friends hear my adoption story and tell me I was a "blue light" K-mart baby in the bargain bin on clearance!!!
