For my mommy!
Today, Monday, is my mom’s birthday. I’m a rubbish daughter and didn’t send her a card. So instead I decided to make a video, giving excuses as to why I didn’t send one. Hopefully it’ll amuse her enough to make her forget about the missing card…

I’m so going to regret posting this publicly!
For the French-impaired, read more for the summary… ![]()
Reason #1: The mailman’s fault
It snowed in the UK recently. Two centimeters and the world stopped spinning. People were talking about using chains for their car tires.
Reason #2: Sorry, too busy!
Reason #3: They took me as hostage!
Reason #4: My dog ate it!
Reason #5: I lost my marbles
Reason #6: Cards are boring

That was hilarious! What did your mom think of it? (and I’m very proud of myself for not needing to read the translations - I haven’t lost it yet!)

Lisa: My mom loved it
She couldn’t watch it at work on the morning of her birthday, so she went home at lunch to watch it!
(Granted her work is only 2 minutes from home, but still…)

Oh and Darren, you’re probably right, it was insignificant amounts of snow. But they’re Brits, give ‘em a break!

This is adorable. I found your site randomly by looking at what phrases people had googled to find my own blog and apparently someone googled, “canadian girl with the sheep” and both of our sites come up for that. lol. Who knows. Anyways, I’m bookmarking my fellow canadian girl.
