| Well, naturally! It's a weekend.
Why is your weekend long?

| November 11th is Remembrance Day in Canada. Yes it's a week away, and not working regular work weeks makes looking forward to weekends and long weekends a little silly. However, I'm in a celebratory mood.
What should I do to celebrate?

| Uhhh.... European Commerce Day on the 6th? Or maybe the Soviet Revolution of October on the 7th (they changed the calendars to "our" Gregorian system much after that, so by that time it was October, but the memorial day went off to November....)
Which do you prefer? | |

| I don't know... I am completely confused (but still joyful).
Has anyone done any Christmas shopping? It feels so weird not to have a bunch of gifts already in my closet.

Do you plan on traveling for the holidays?

| Either something he'll never forget  or some power tools...
Have you ever figured out why men do all their shopping on Dec. 24th? I'm all for getting it done in one day, just why would they pick THAT day??? It proves my theory all men are nuts.

| I have no idea, I know my father always gets them half ready on the 24th, because he usually gets some custom designed (yes, it's his hobby) jewellery made either for Mom or me (or both, sometimes)... and even though he orders it months in advance, the jeweller works this slow (but very nice at least).
What are your guesses on your own presents? | |

| I'm never sure, but I do like shaking the present, sniffing it, and saying that I'm sure it's soap on a rope. Really gets on some peoples nerves. 
How was your weekend?

| Again, so much to choose from. I'd have to say a nice prime sirloin steak (medium rare) with pepper sauce and a big helping of garlic potatoes au gratin. Ok now i'm starving after thinking about this, thanks zz 
If you had to live in a country other than your home country, what one would you choose? | |

I'll say GBR.
How many cups of coffee is the most you've had in one day?

| Zero. I don't drink it. I am more of a Hot Chocolate person. But if I ever get anything from Starbucks, it is a good Caramel Apple Cider.
What is your favorite drink?

| Look at the cover of "the diary of anne frank" and remind myself that it could be so much worse, now stop moping and start fixing things.
