CONVERSATION ON A COLD DECEMBER EVENING
December 22nd.
I am at my inlaws house in northern Ontario with a drink (one of many) in hand. Arthur was running around and my MIL remarks how it is sad that Arthur's breeder decided to cut his tail off so short (he is a pointer and their tales are always docked). And then the conversation switches to the fact that he no longer has balls due to his mom (that would be me) having them cut off and how we should not have done that to the poor boy. The comment was made that he has been mutilated.
Somehow from there, we went to circumcision and how Wilson is not (this I knew), his dad (MY FIL) is not (never wanted to know) and neither was his granddad (same). This happened while I was in the same room as my FIL and my husband! I NEVER EVER wanted to know anything about my FIL in that way. While this conversation was making my ears bleed, my FIL and husband were having a conversation about the auto industry bailout and do not even register the hell I was in.
And they wonder why I drink so much when I am at their house. Internet, I think you understand because you would head straight for the fridge for more wine too!
Aren't the holidays dee-lightful?

BACK FROM VACATION
Happy Monday Internet! Am back from Belize and I have a slight tan - WOOT WOOT! However, Belize and I did not agree. First Delta Airlines lost our luggage - this usually is not a problem but when you get on a sailboat immediatly and leave port - not having your luggage does equate to a problem!
Second - we had 2 amazing days of sunshine and then came the overcast and rainy days. 4 days of overcast and rainy - WTF!!!
Third - and this is the part that sealed the deal for me - SAND FLEAS AND FREAKIN NOSEEUMS!!! Where did I go - Florida for the love of God??? Multiple bites and much scratching later, I have determined that Belize and I are not meant to be together!!
However, it was a blast with our friends and I laughed so much every day and drank WAAAAYYY too much!! Reality hit with a vengenance when we got off the plane last night and the pilot said it was minus 12 degrees Celsius (I have no freaking idea what that is in Farenheit!).
Am now back at work and wish I was still on vacation - just not in Belize!
