Crossed Off – Giant Mennonite Boy
Jul 18th
I don’t know why I was so fascinated with the prospect of seeing a giant figure of a Mennonite boy, but I assume it has something to do with my interest in Hutterites. When I saw on Road Side Attractions that in Cambridge they had a Mennonite boy, it was added straight away to my list. Since Cambridge is only about 30 minutes away from Guelph where I was spending about two weeks, I figured this latest excursion out east would be an appropriate time to cross this particular item off of my list.
Located next to a giant bed in a field out between the Mennonite furniture store and the 401 high way, there is the smiling, waving Mennonite boy, who actually isn’t that big, but I will forget that fact because he was just so cool! What a random thing to make into a big sign…Mennonite boy. Haha.

A shot of the CN tower from the ground care of myself.
Back in Canada today, via Amtrak. Off to Kingston pronto.
Quick Hit – Fire Flies
Jul 13th
I forgot to post about seeing these.
Sadly, I did not get pictures of them, they are hard buggers to get a picture of in the dark without a proper camera. I have seen them a few times since coming out here, though, which pleases me greatly. Nothing like standing on a deck watching the bushes flick on and off slowly. One of the many things I miss about Ontario, the light bug shows that happen on most nights in the summer. Truly something people should experience!
I’m Here To Help
Jun 7th
I’m always encouraging people to create life lists and accomplish whatever goals they have in life, since I don’t think your life is something to waste.
As it turns out, I helped my mom accomplish what she *says* is her entire life list, which was to be on my other, smaller blog Things We Said. While I don’t necessarily believe that was her only goal in life (thought it actually wouldn’t be *that* hard to believe, if you’ve met my mother), I was happy to help regardless.
Check out the post!
I’m pretty sure “take a kick ass myspace picture” was also on my mom’s list
Bike and Buttons – #256 Crossed off!
Jun 4th
So I crossed another thing off of my list, without even thinking about it! Yay for unintentional list accomplishments!
For my 22nd birthday present my mom (parents, I guess if you want to be literal), bought me a brand new spankin’ bicycle. I’ve been wanting a bike since last summer but circumstances did not allow for such extravagances! Ah well, I got one now. It was a bit of a hassle, the one I got yesterday turned out to be a piece of poo and I had to go and exchange it today. My 18 gear bike only had 2 functioning gears. The exchange was easy enough though and I have managed to cross my 16th thing off of my list! Kick ass!
#256 Buy a bicycle
I’m not very good at riding bicycles anymore, it seems, I’m a bit wobbly. I’ll get better I am sure, as I get back into biking mode. Nice thing is I should be able to bike to work if I ever switch jobs to the mall I am supposed to be at.
In other news, Adam’s super secret present finally came! I bought these about two weeks ago and have been dying to give them to him ever since. It’s fairly random, but it fits well with our sense of humour. He seemed to enjoy them.
I hate to advertise for companies…

But has anyone seen the life list inclusion in the new Pontiac commercials? I think it’s pretty neat!
Click here for the website which has some ideas on it, actually!
I don’t think that you need a specific car to accomplish your life list, but a neat advertising concept none the less.
