A thousand years ago, I used to be a runner. It was my sport-of-choice since I was in grade school, when we'd run for fund-raising causes, like for Terry Fox, or The Heart & Stroke Foundation. As I grew older, I moved from longer distances, to middle distances, and ended up mostly running … [Read more...]
Seafood & Swiss Grilled Cheese
I read a tweet about it being National Grilled Cheese Day today. Perhaps this is only in the US. Perhaps it's all in the mind of some lonely dude somewhere, in his sad basement apartment, clinging to the internet for friendship. And for his sanity. But who cares. Grilled cheese? Yes, please! (As … [Read more...]
Dinner In a Glass – Bloody April
Perhaps the weather is less than stellar where you are today. Oh hai, thanks for the all snow and ice balls, April. Never mind. Make yourself a cocktail, and just wait for that crap to end. This is basically a Bloody Mary, only with more deliciousness. Let's call it a Bloody April. It's … [Read more...]
Spring Sorting
Spring hasn't completely sprung around these parts just yet (and I heard someone say we're to expect 15 - 20 centimetres of snow on Friday... I will try not to weep, but I can make no promises.) I may not be able to put those snowpants away just yet, but the itch to get the spring sorting and … [Read more...]
Can I Put These Snowpants Away Yet?
It's snowing outside my window right now. *dabs eyes with tissue* We all know by now that winter is not my favourite time of year, but I should probably add how early spring is often in my bad books, too. I mean really, spring... how could you? What I realise is my expectations of spring are … [Read more...]
What’s in a Size?
I went bra shopping today, which is my least favourite of all the shoppings. I went because my boobs are decidedly bigger than they were the last time I bought some, and the "spillage" out of the cups of my current bras was making me feel... very... soft and squishy in ways I do not like. Now, … [Read more...]
Okay, Cupid.
The other night, this wee bit of conversation had me howling with laughter... She: You have loved mummy for a long time, right? He: Yes! A long time. She: Did it happen when that, um... you know, that baby? With the wings? It shot you in the back with a love arrow, right? Me: … [Read more...]
Gifting Your Good Stuff
A new season is on its way, and with it comes some new clothes - mostly for the kids at this point, who are growing like bad weeds... which means it's time to cull the closets and drawers. (I did some pain-free online shopping recently...) I have two kids of different sexes, who are also four … [Read more...]
Dance Like Nobody’s Watching
There's a series of these videos out in the internets... Dance Like Nobody's Watching. I find some of them rather cute and bold and charming, but this one in particular came to me through the usual social media portals, and I really love this one. I think it's because this girl's spirit and dance … [Read more...]
Negotiating With Terrorists.
It is 11:20 AM, and candy is Ava Scarlett's favourite food group. She: Can I have something to eat, please? Me: Yes, darling! What would you like? She: Can I have some Swedish Berries? Me: Um... okay. She: Can I have ten? Me: You can have six. She: *pleading face* … [Read more...]
