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....

A friend who is a journalist told me that the alleged "birth house" was not the actual birth house, but an identical house that had been substituted. Shame on the powers that be!

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:

I have a pretty good Elvis story, myself... 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.

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!!!
