Happy Monday


The week before a long weekend always seems to drag on and the weekend couldn't come soon enough. I'm not sure where you are reading from but here in Onatrio we will be celecrating the civic holiday. This holiday is celebrated in different parts of Canada. It's cool because people who work in offices get it off but the malls and such are still open.

I wasn't exactly sure what this holiday was for or why we celebrated it so I went to me good friend wikipedia for answers. Sadly it didn't have any other than it's the first Monday in August. After doing some digging with my other good friend, google, I got a little closer. Basically it's a holiday about working and people. It's designed to give you a break from work. In Ontario though if your employer says you're working, you're working. Plus it's not mandetory for them to pay you stat pay. If you're lucky enough to get it off though, enjoy it! If you're like me, every day is a day off with no pay. (bad joke alert)

I will be spending my civic holiday on my parents boat with my parents, my little brother, our yorkie mix Milo, and my boyfriend. I'm a little nervous how a weekend with my boyfriend and my parents will go. If all else fails I suppose I can always abandon ship with the dingy. It's not like they haven't met plenty of times before, but they've never spent long periods of time togeather. I'm sure it'll be an awkward experience for all involved. Wish me luck.

In the mean time, I will brighten up your gloomy Monday and leave you with this:




William Beckett of The Academy Is... covering the song Heartbeats by Jose Gonzales. I personally find it to be rather lovely. Hopefully it'll make you smile as much as I did. Maybe it's just because this boy makes me weak in the knees. His talent does it alone.

Later Days
