Miscellaneous

Strangely enough I remember the exact moment when I first learnt the definition of the word 'miscellaneous'. My mom bought my grandpa a rack to hang things on that said 'MISC' and had to explain to me what it meant. I was in my then grandparents now parents' kitchen.

Anyway, my misc. items:

1) Welcome to my friend Joanna to the blogging world! I love the stories about her toddler twins.

2) In my endeavor to purchase snow tires I have learnt that not all tires have an inner-tube inside.

3) Driving 12 hours within a 29 hour time frame on winter-plagued highways (to Farmfair in Edmonton to see my brother and back in case you are wondering) is enough to make me long for the day I can afford a 4-wheel drive vehicle.

4) I had no idea a ‘troop’ referred to a single soldier. Does that word not sound plural to anyone else?

5) Does anyone know how to widen my template so my links do not get pushed to the bottom of my blog whenever I insert photos or movies into posts? Edit-me is useless in resolving this.
