New Lego minifigures!

   Who doesn't love Lego? (Please just keep it to yourself if you don't.) Before we begin this conversation let's just clear up any misconceptions. We love Lego so much that snub any other brand of construction blocks because they do not fit together properly with Lego.  It's not because we prefer to pay more for toys or because Lego brand has a following that makes it only slightly more acceptable as an collector item for adults. We love it so much, Lego has multiplied to a point that it fills a room in our home. So you can imagine how excited I was when the new Minifigures arrived!


    A note to all the parents that pass us by with an icy stare in Toys-R-us as we squish and feel the tiny plastic bags with the severity and precision of a toy surgeon; I know you are just jealous.  
  
   Perhaps it's not so much that I have the expendable income to purchase toys for myself as it is the disposable time that you so desperately crave. Oh what you would do with an afternoon to yourself, you can only dream.

The rest of the day was quite productive as I created an ultimate version of myself!  There would be more accessories but I only have so many limbs… I think it turned out quite nicely, almost majestic!

As many of you know, I am a Canadian, raised by Canadians, who do not hunt. I have neither touched, nor smelt a real gun, never mind fired one. And then yesterday, it happened.
   I would like to point out that I had not had any interest in shooting guns until recently my curiosity into hunting has been stirred, and well, I live in the right province to know a hunter or two. (I can almost  feel my parents cringe halfway around the world but I'm pretty sure they always had an idea this was a likelihood.)
   Two things I learnt about myself; I'm a pretty good shot, and I like the bigger gun the best. (That statement could loosely apply to many facets of my character!) I'm pretty sure I am on a certain path toward becoming a real red-neck. Did I mention I also enjoy burning things? I don't think you need to worry though, this quest is mostly fuelled by the desire to expand my foodie pallet and consume exotic and wild game. So, does anyone have a family rifle the want to pass down? I could be the perfect candidate!






See that one really close to the bullseye on the left? That's mine!

So exciting! Thanks Eric for taking us out (and being safe about it). We both had such fun!
