I've been tagged....

by Heather over at Life As We Know It. Yes, it's a "6 Things You Maybe Don't Know About Me" meme....and since I don't have a ton of friends who I really KNOW who blog...don't worry, I'm not tagging anyone else! But, hey, if you're reading, and you want to....consider yourself tagged. Just link back to me and leave me a comment somewhere telling me you did it, ok? Here goes:

1. I'm Canadian. Nope, I'm not a US citizen, although I am a legal permanent resident.
2. I paid an enormous amount of money and jumped through approximately 400 hoops to become a legal resident of the United States. I can honestly tell you that immigration paperwork is confusing and EXPENSIVE.
3. While I love the United States, and realize it has been VERY GOOD to me and my family...I still miss Canada.
4. I also miss perogies, cabbage rolls, ketchup chips, Smarties, coffee crisps, our family farm, seeing my parents and sisters whenever I want to, horses, ski-dooing, tobogganing at Durston Hill, ice fishing, ice cold apricot brandy that has been chilled in a snowbank beside a roaring fire, moose meat, curling, Clear Lake, the Duck Mountains, Riding Mountain Provincial Park, and the Boulevard bar packed full of people I know. And some I wish I didn't.
5. I LOVE to fish. Immensely.
6. I despise beer. Even the Great Canadian beers...unless they are mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with tomato juice. Then...beer's pretty awesome!
