The sadness has followed me around since last Friday. It's just there. I'm having a really hard time falling asleep. It's so hard to shut down mentally. I feel a little bit like I did back in that second week of September in 2001 when the world changed forever. The world has changed again. Last … [Read more...]
Oh Christmas Tree!
Been focused on the season lately and all that entails from a family and social responsibility point of view, add some additional work fluctuation and writing here became less of a priority. I refuse to touch on the horror of last Friday only because the noise is quite loud and I would rather not … [Read more...]
You Have To Believe!
On the weekend, Will and I went to see Rise of the Guardians. I'm not going to lie - I had about zero interest in seeing it and I thought it looked a bit scary for him BUT he wanted to see it and I figured I'd get an hour of silence and some popcorn intake out of it. There wasn't much that he … [Read more...]
From My Closet – December 15th, 2012
In an effort to lighten my own mood, I've been looking at gold these days. (All year, actually - I'm still loving this sweater pretty hard...) And with a birthday gift certificate in hand from some of my foxes, I stormed my way through Forever 41 21 recently, to find some apt holiday-wear. I … [Read more...]
Kitchen Rescues Courtesy Kraft
You know those nights, right? It's late, everyone's hungry, you just got back from work and there's hardly any food in the pantry. What to do for dinner? Well, there's always the take-out option, but before I run for my wallet and the drive-thru, I always check the Kraft Canada website and their … [Read more...]
Eyes Wide Open: Tiny Bits of Magic
After I got dressed yesterday, getting set to head downtown to get my Christmas-shopping sorted out, my good friend and neighbour-lady rang my doorbell. She'd been out for a jog earlier, and had lost her house key. It was the FIRST time she'd ever bothered to take it off her key ring, and she … [Read more...]
Making Christmas In Spite of Things
I've been mostly keeping to myself, riding the waves of sadness that have been rocking our house since Martin's mother passed away a few weeks ago... it's been in the forefront of my brain, of course, and I've actually not had a whole lot to say. The thing about grief is, it's a process. I reckon … [Read more...]
From My Closet – December 14th, 2012
So this is Christmas... shopping. I've been mourning hibernating chilling for the last couple of weeks, but suddenly the holidays are here again, and there are a million and one things to do. And as the very wise Fernando from SNL once proclaimed, "Daaah-ling, it is much better to look good, than … [Read more...]
move over martha
I have many talented friends, including one who can put both legs behind her head while she is sitting. One in particular has an extraordinary way of making things around her beautiful- and I mean extraordinary. She takes sheer joy in everything she does. Every year she has a coffee morning with … [Read more...]
Holiday Favourites
Each morning the kids religiously scroll thorugh the tv guide looking to see what holiday show will be on that night. The dvr is filling up quickly. We've watched them all - The Grinch, Frosty the Snowman, Frosty Returns, Santa Claus is Coming to Town... I vividly remembering watching the very … [Read more...]
