    2b) I’m Canadian, so I won’t be voting…but does crossing my fingers count as a vote for Obama?

    4) No, we probably won’t get it on Canadian Television until it’s in syndication…ten years from now…then all the designs will be out of style.

    5) There was no room for dancing in my parents house, which is where we held the reception.

    6. Too many to count. Yo Gabba Gabba for sure, Caillou, Johnny and the Sprites, Doodlebops (gah!), Barney. I could go on but my eye is starting to twitch.

  19. Molly says:

    3) Frankie. So I named my dog Frankie instead.

    4) Love Top Design! Love all of Bravo’s reality shows.
