Proud to Be Canadian

(thank goodness something interesting happened today, I feel bad not blogging very often!!)
As some of you may know, I am an ebay addict. While I don't bid on HALF the things i watch, I still am obsessed with searching through the listings. One of my purchases arrived today. Its a tshirt, with a anti-war logo on it I saw wearing during one of their rediculous "i just want world peace" interviews. I thought she was stupid, but I did like the shirt. A combo of star wars and an anti war message is jsut the sort of thing I'm into :).
THe best part of all of this was finally receiving it today in the mail. It was coming from a shop in Israel, so I knew it would be a while. There was a large lineup, so I waited patiently (desperately hoping my shirt had arrived!!! I won the bid on may 16th). When I got to the counter, the postman took my card and came back with an itty bitty parcel. He started snickering, but I didn't understand why. As he was putting it through the computer, he said "Isn't it nice to be Canadian?" And I automatically answered "Oh yeah its great...", but I really wasn't sure what he meant by it. I thought he was just being random, so I smiled back as he talked about how well canadians are thought of all around the world. As I walked out to the car, I looked down at the parcel and burst out laughing.


I suppose it IS very nice to be loved by everyone :)....
I'll post a picture of my shirt once it is out of the dryer :)!
