Like A Teapot

This morning I went to the post office and was delighted to discover that Canada Post had issued a set of new stamps for the Christmas season on the very same day (November 3, 2008). Instead of the all too common Jesus Christ and Modonna and Child variety, Canadians can now send the simple childhood joys of the holiday season to their loved ones around the world with three charming stamps showcasing popular winter activities of Canada.

The stamps are sold separately in packs. One for domestic mails (top right), one for mails destined to the USA (top left), and one for other overseas locations. I bought a six pack of international rate (left). I considered getting the other packs too but eventually decided to wait a bit. I have too many unused stamps at home.

I like the colour red. Not a big fan; but, in my life, there has always been a dash of red somewhere. My car is red, the chair I am sitting on is red, two pairs of my shoes are red, one of my scarves and blowses are red. I have also contemplated having a red accent wall in future while watching interior design programs on television. I guess I need it to raise my spirits and to reflect my passionate nature. The test below says that I am apple red. Well, all of my red items are very close to this colour.

You Are Apple Red

You're never one to take life too seriously, and because of it, you're a ton of fun. And although you have a great sense of humor, you are never superficial. Deep and caring, you do like to get to the core of people - to understand them well. However, any probing you do is light hearted and fun, sometimes causing people to misjudge you.
