This image of some store mannequins in Sweden (I wish I knew what shop) have been circulating around the net for a few days - I even shared it on my Facebook page, and wrote, "These look like real women - Brava Sweden!" You've gotta dig this flicka's hairdo... and her socks are pretty rad, … [Read more...]
The Littlest Hotdog.
One rather nice thing about family-break times, like the one we had just last week, is how I get the chance to really see my children anew. It doesn't matter if we stay home, though I do tend to view them differently when they're back-dropped by a different scene, or within different walls. I too, … [Read more...]
Wading Through
Unlike seemingly everywhere else in the country, we just finished our March Break, and today I find myself alone in the house, looking at a mountain of laundry with one eye, while counting backwards the amount of hours I have left before the children get home from school. The fridge is practically … [Read more...]
I Just Wanted Some Pasta Vongole…
It all started when I noticed fresh littleneck clams in the seafood counter at my grocery store on Sunday. I seldom shop with a list that really needs attention, since I do most the shopping and cooking - I know what's in our fridge. I read the circulars, checking the specials at my local places, … [Read more...]
The Way They Play – Part VIII
The other day, I overheard Madame in the tv room, playing by herself. I could hear what sounded like figurines dropping on the floor, over and over again, followed by her little voice, softly uttering, "Click!" Over and over again. I finally had to see what she was up to... Me: Um... what is … [Read more...]
Playdates For Grownups
I might still be a little drunk from last weekend. My friend Sara came to visit me in Montreal, with her lovely boychild, Will. Since it was Family Day weekend for everyone in Canada EXCEPT for Quebecers *ahem* and most people had an extra day off, Miss Sara decided to come and stay at our house. … [Read more...]
Counting Kisses
I was out and about earlier than usual this morning, and I crossed paths with various people, as I often do. Though the two-cheek kiss is a very casual greeting, especially in Montreal, when you actually grab a person in your arms and hold onto them while you plant a kiss on each of their cheeks, or … [Read more...]
Modern-Day Love Poet
I have this imaginary internet friend called Amy Turn Sharp. (Isn't that just the most perfect name ever?) We've not met in person, but we've been weaving around each other out in the cyber spaces for years and years... for ages and ages... forever. She is cute and delightful. She and her husband … [Read more...]
Lovely.
While out running errands earlier today, a cashier handed me my bag of goods and said, "You have a lovely day!" And then I wished her a lovely day in return, and I left the store smiling to myself... There's a huge difference between that, and snatching up your stuff and mumbling, "Thanks..." to … [Read more...]
Neuf.
My boy got busy turning nine last weekend, which really feels different than his last few to me. I see a real growth change in him - longer in the legs all of a sudden. Nice posture, too. And next year we begin the double-digits (from here on out, I guess!) and I feel his "small boy" years are … [Read more...]
