Yes...I know it's Wednesday...but if you haven't turned a tv or a radio on today, let me tell you...it was thirty years ago today that John Lennon was shot outside the Dakota, so I figure I can bend the rules this week. I think there are three people who everyone says 'Where were you when you … [Read more...]
Pics my kid took!
We all love taking photos of our kids, right? Well, Pea also loves taking photos. And truth be told, she takes some pretty good ones.While I might not be off to buy her a digital SLR this Christmas, I will certainly be keeping an eye on her photographic prowess as time goes buy. … [Read more...]
ragged ass road
Last night at dinner with 10 of my best gals, one turned to me and asked how it was going. These are not weather report people- no small talk required. I turn to these two that I adore and with tears in my eyes I said "I am busy to the point of near hysteria."This is very hard for me to admit even … [Read more...]
The Christmas Card – revisited
This past Sunday I decided to give the old Christmas Card photo one more try. After the debacle the last time I tried, I went in mixed - hoping it would work but there was a litte niggle in my mind that it would be tough. I went outside for better light. I've always taken great … [Read more...]
Globetrotting Lessons
My stepdaughter, Ursula (Ursi for short) has been traveling in Nepal & India since October. She went all on her own, at the tender age of 18. That show guts, I think. She's was having a fabulous time in Nepal. She did the Annapurna trek, bungee jumped (the video almost gave her … [Read more...]
Hanging By a Thread
I got my eyebrows threaded for the first time last week by a sweet, petite young woman from India who spoke little English. The procedure was quick and relatively painless (well, as painless as getting your hairs ripped out by their roots can be). It only took five minutes and cost a mere five bucks … [Read more...]
Mother…that’s the label for me!
So they brought E! back to Canada. I'm now Keeping Up With the Kardashians (because my brain cells weren't dwindling enough already) and I checked out the Hank and Kendra show. Know them?? She used to be one of Hef's girls and Hank Bassett is a sports celeb in the states. … [Read more...]
My Morning (heh.) Sickness Nightmare
(Disclaimer: YES- this is a whiny blog post. You have been warned but, you know, pregnancy hormones made me write it!)WHY do they call it morning sickness when I'm sick all day. Every day. No fail. From the time I get up until the moment I go to sleep, and sometimes even in … [Read more...]
I need tulips and truth
19 years ago today I got out of bed to get married. It was a day just like today- beautiful light snow fell in abundance. I felt sure it was a good omen.Unlike many brides it seems, I did not like the attention as much as I probably should have, given the cost, the planning and the expectation. … [Read more...]
THE ENDORSEMENT: Trashy (But Not! Really! I Promise!) Drugstore Perfume
After spending the early part of my adolescence doused in Tribe and Sunflowers perfume, I tried hard to distance myself from the drugstore's perfume offerings as I got older. And for the most part, I've succeeded. My two go-to perfumes are understated, sophisticated (I...hope?) and a far cry from my … [Read more...]
