Well everyone, the New Year is upon us, in less then 10 hours (Ontario time) we will be in 2010. A time for new resolutions and a fresh start of a New Year.
Do you make New Years resolutions? What kind of resolutions do us Smart Canucker’s make? Save more money? Use more coupons?
I personally don’t generally make resolutions. Last year I quit smoking the 3rd week of January, not a New Years resolution, just something I needed to do. Maybe this year I’ll work at losing the weight I gained from quitting lol!
I hope everyone has a wonderful evening tonight whether it be with friends, family or a quiet evening in. Please do not drink and drive, arrive alive.
Happy New Years from the Smart Canucks team! See you in 2010!
One of our beloved members “Beastmaster” passed on in December, losing the battle to Cancer. His sister is Koala from the site whom many of you know on a first name basis.
Beastmaster (Gary) was a loved member of our forum and absolutely loved Ferrets.
He was a major part of a Ferret website and is only 500 votes away from reaching his goal of gold for this year of 5000. In his memory please take a quick moment to vote and reach this goal by the end of 2009.

Cora Sledge is horrified when her children, who doubt her ability to take care of herself, plot to remove her from her home. So what if her house is a shambles? Who cares when she last changed her clothes? If an eighty-two-year-old widow wants to live on junk food, pills, and cigarettes, hasn’t she earned the right? When her kids force her into The Palisades, an assisted living facility, Cora takes to her bed, planning to die as soon as possible. But life isn’t finished with her yet, not by a long shot.
Opera singer Sabine Conrad is the toast of nineteenth-century New York high society. A celebrated soprano with the voice of an angel, she is showered with adulation by her audiences and courted by wealthy patrons. But behind the scenes, her every move is controlled by a Svengali-like manager, Gideon Price. When her attempt to escape him goes tragically awry, she flees, leaving behind a grisly murder.
Take chocolate candy, add a family business at war with itself, and stir with an outsider’s perspective. This is the recipe for True Confections, the irresistible new novel by Katharine Weber, a writer whose work has won accolades from Iris Murdoch, Madeleine L’Engle, Wally Lamb, and Kate Atkinson, to name a few.
While doing my boxing day shopping at staples I noticed a sign saying that although the price of stamps is going up .03 cents in January, you can still get stamps for .54 at staples!! So no need to go stock up on stamps! I didnt get a chance to see if the offer has an expiry or anything due to all the insane boxing day shoppers screaming and pushing. 😛

Ah Christmas. I wasn’t feeling very Christmassy this year. The tree was decorated, the presents were bought (some even wrapped), the donations that were supposed to make me feel warm and fuzzy were done, the fridge was full of food. But something seemed missing. It’s a fake tree . . . maybe that’s it. Or maybe it’s because none of my Christmas music transferred to my new computer and I can’t be bothered to get more. Or maybe this dullness is the reason I can’t be bothered. I felt like something magical should be happening. And well, now I am just really really hoping that it does.
There has been a tragedy. And now, because my heart aches, I feel more Christmassy then ever. I feel an intense need for prayer, for family, for closeness. I feel Christmassy because in my heart if I believe in Christmas, if everyone believes in Christmas, then I can believe in miracles. If I believe in Christmas then I can believe in purpose, I can believe in hope. In light, In the power of love and the giving spirit.
So a heartfelt Merry Christmas to everyone. May your day is filled with love, peace and the spirit of Christmas.
