Toques

I love toques. I love the word. I love that it's Canadian.

I am especially thankful that we do not call them anything else. No offense (Kendra) but I just can't imagine teenage kids from Kansas looking around stores and asking, 'Hey, do you have any stocking caps here?'...! I mean, it's cute, don't get me wrong but I just think it's funny to think about the extreme.

Since I left Maui, I have worn a toque EVERY SINGLE DAY! It's great...toque-hair is the best and screams 'it's WINTER!'

On a different yet similar note relating to a Canadian winter...one of my favourite surprises is putting your hand in your winter coat from ages past and discovering a collection of old (and most likely used) kleenex tissues! Mmm...the best part is how thankful you are to be able to use them one more time when you've clearly not bothered to throw them out and replace them with a new one!
