No Pressure

I heard on the radio that it's Michael Jackson's 50th birthday today.

It's the final long weekend of the summer, the Labour Day weekend. It's soggy and rainy today, but a sunny, warm forecast ahead, good for the cottage people.

L has an eyebrow waxing appointment at the spa tomorrow, she had it done once before earlier in the summer and decided she had to have it done again before school starts. We're planning to go to Canada's Wonderland with my mom, sister and the cousins on Sunday. There is a new 'Behemoth' ride that K is stressing about because his cousin is trying to talk him into it. He said it's 4 times bigger than the usual ones he goes on and that's a big deal. I told him 'no pressure'.

You get a Labor (Labour) Day holiday in Canada?

One of the London tabloids ran an article about Michael Jackson and his 50th birthday. They have a photo of what he might have looked like had he not had so much plastic surgery: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1050082/As-turns-50-Michael-Jackson-really-look-like.html

Yes, we have Labour Day here as well.

Thanks for that Michael Jackson link, interesting, I sent to some of my friends. He would've looked very handsome as his old self, I think.
