The Ikea Monkey

If you live in Toronto - or even if you don't - I am sure by now you've heard of Ikea Monkey?!  In case you haven't here is a picture - and even though I feel sad for this little guy - I am happy that his Canadian owners thought enough to keep him warm in a snazzy coat.


Here's an article from CBC if you want to brush up on the big news going on around here!

Anyways I didn't come here today talk about Ikea Monkey - I came to tell you that today Steve and I celebrated our 10 year dating anniversary.  Well kind of.  It's not really our anniversary.  Well you can read about all that in last year's 9 year recap. Except today we did something awesome!  I'll tell you about it sometime - because even though Steve had his work Christmas party to attend tonight (spouses have been banned from attending - what a marvelous idea!!) and I hung out alone - the day was still awesome.  Maybe I will tell you about it sometime!  Or I could just show you another picture of Ikea Monkey!!!


Even if it is awful - a monkey in a coat kind of makes you laugh right?  Almost as much as a cat in a bow tie?!!  Well - I think the owners got a fine for having an illegal animal (or something like that) I didn't really read up on it too much.  I need to stay on top of the news, seriously!

Anyways - happy 10 year dating anniversary to Steve!  We've come a long way - and it's been quite the adventure.

Happy anniversary!!

And I agree- while it's sad he was left in the car and all, those pictures are hilarious. I also like the witness in the parking deck who said "it peeked out from behind a car and I thought I was going insane!"

You two are an awesome, adorable couple. Congratulations on so many years of happy togetherness. Here's hoping you have many, many more!

Spouses/significant others are mandated at our Christmas party. Someone has to drive our drunk asses around =)

Happy anniversary!

The husbands workplace insists spouses attend. I think it's so the other spouses can meet and complain about being dragged to Switzerland by their partner.
