Late last week I received an email from a dear old friend with words to the effect of I know it's last minute, but my band is playing in town tonight, blah, blah, blah, I'll leave you tickets at the door... will you come?It had been a dog's age since I've seen his face, apart from on television now … [Read more...]
I Wasn’t Joking About All The Black Things.
Earlier this week, I mentioned how I'd been puttering by doing this and cleaning out these. I finally sorted my own stuff, tossing the stuff that won't do anymore, and pulling down the warmer things. (Why is mummy always last on the list? Le sigh.) Anyway, I'm done.I'm going to show you the inside … [Read more...]
From My Closet – November 9th, 2011
It's downright balmy outside today, especially for November. I've decided to break out this sweater, which I don't wear very often, and is a bit of an oldie, but still a goodie. It's got a wide bat-wing sleeve, which doesn't fit well under any of my coats (are you sad for me yet?) but she is a … [Read more...]
I’ve Got Your Sympathy Riiiiight Heeeeere…
Every time my kids hear that Moves Like Jagger song, they start jumping around saying, "Oh! It's Mick Jagger!" to which I swiftly reply, "NAY! This is NOT Mick Jagger AT ALL!!" And I roll my eyes a lot, and maybe even stamp my feet a little. I mean, I love Maroon 5 as much as the next lady (that … [Read more...]

I was at a big Joe Fresh store the other day, and scooped up one of their new nail lacquers. I've been looking for such a shade for some time now... a change from my super-deep reds, which feel more wintery than this shade called "Storm." It's taupe-ish. It's grey-ish. It's purple-ish. It's … [Read more...]
Wanted: More Colour!
So cleaned up a bunch of drawers and things yesterday, making mental notes about what my kids need to stay outfitted for the fall and winter. It's a huge list, yo. My kids are smallish, and I think I got some loooooong use out of a bunch items for the last, say, eighteen months, so suddenly, … [Read more...]
Kid Style
Oliver is home today - not feeling well, he said. He rarely complains, so home we shall than remain.Since I can't really get out to do much, I'm taking the opportunity to tidy up some drawers - emptying them of the too-small items (which seems to be just about everything!) and pulling out the warmer … [Read more...]
The Pumpkins.
I don't know what the culprit was, but I had some lousy pumpkins this year. Some were soft, which make intricate cutting impossible. I broke about 5 pumpkins this year, which can really almost make a lady cry, after spending 50 minutes cutting a face, only to have a large chunk of it break off... … [Read more...]
Spooky!
I crashed heavily into my neighbour's couch Saturday evening, after a day-long Halloween-themed birthday party for her daughter, after which a lazy family-style dinner ensued... it was about 10 PM. We were all exhausted from the day, AND from another party we were all at the evening before. (Not to … [Read more...]
From My Closet – October 30th, 2011
One minute it's cold. And then it's not so much. And I'm still carving pumpkins, so I need some flexibility... This short-sleeved knitted hoodie was a gift from my mum a few years ago. I don't usually go for hoodies - they're just not my thing, generally, but I like this one. The fit is short, which … [Read more...]
