I was surprised at how out of sorts I was when I heard the news Queen Elizabeth passed. Whether or not you love/hate/meh the British monarchy, their role in colonialism or their place in a contemporary society, Queen Elizabeth was a huge part of Canadian culture. She's been on our money for decades. Her portrait graced classrooms and public buildings. Queen Elizabeth reminds me of my grandmother--she lived a few years longer and saw a ton of history and technological changes. The Queen's passing is like the death of a far-off family member for me. Someone you knew a lot about, but never met, but still have some feelings for.

And of course, she was parodied by Kids in the Hall back in the 90s. One of my favourite sketches of all time TBH!

LOL, this is what you get when you train an AI to write a Christmas song :-D

This happened close enough to my hometown that I'm still embarrassed about it!

Basically it's a 1 minute video highlighting the antics of a couple pursued by police - the woman climbs into the ceiling of a convenience store and falls out while her boyfriend is being tackled.

Speaking of my super hot muffins, here's a potluck entry that didn't go so well on local news.

My favourite YouTube comment is: "I admire that woman, she messed up a recipe but instead of throwing it away she decided to torture people with it."

LMAO! Awww!

This literally was my life for almost six years, and still kind of is.

Pretty much sums up flock life lately :-)
