So, Gorgeouses, are you watching Laguna Beach, yet? I'm a total addict. What ever will I do when I finish watching the whole season? I have, like, 5 more episodes to go. ONLY. I don't know what I'll do when there are no episodes left. Also, stressing about buying a new house. Do you buy before you … [Read more...]

Week: 24 Pounds Lost: 42.2 WOW. To see it up there in black and white, the numbers are really quite impressive, aren't they?  I was thrilled this Saturday to weigh in at a nice, even 175. 175 was a real milestone for me, because it was the point at which I drop down to 22 points (from 24) on … [Read more...]

Hey guys!  Those of you who know me know that I am a freak for the holidays.  I was the one voting in last week’s poll that holiday decorations should be up as soon as the Halloween ones go down.  Well, I am not quite that organized this year (my Halloween decorations are still … [Read more...]

it was sometime in 2004 when i first heard the word "blog", which i learned later on, way later, was short for web log, which, in essence, was an online diary. At the time, i was heavily into "Gawker" and "Defamer" which were blogs, of course, but not personal ones. I … [Read more...]

This time last year, I was waiting to go into labour. Toe-tapping, clock-watching, red-raspberry-leaf-tea-tea-slurping WAITING. My due date was November 7th. I'd been ready since, oh, about October 7th. I was done with being pregnant. Over it. Finito. I was huge - having gained over 90 freaking … [Read more...]

I'm not even sure how many kids were there. (18? 20? 22?) I was really late in getting my act together and getting the invitations out (really, really late. we're not even going to talk about this). I'm not even sure what the place was called (giggles and jiggles? jiggles and giggles?). i forgot the … [Read more...]

Hi Gorgeouses! I'm just coming off of a 2-day computer fast (not including a few quicky emails I had to write -- total of 10 minutes, so doesn't count!). There was no blogging, (virtually) no emailing, no even opening the macbook, nothing. It was great! I feel cleansed, relaxed, accomplished. It was … [Read more...]

So, I know that we are now three days past Hallowe'en, which means that I should probably be starting Christmas/Chanukah/Winter Holiday-themed blogging already, but I just can't help taking a moment to pause and reflect upon the wonder that was the first exciting Hallowe'en that I  have had … [Read more...]

There is a nice little group out there of Toronto Mama bloggers.  There are many, many more that i haven't included here, but i urge you to check them out. Each one is fabulous. funny. heart-felt. Many of these mamas have known each other a long time. some of them even know each other in real … [Read more...]

Hi Gorgeouses! I'm thoroughly confused and disappointed. I have confirmation that Minden (pictured below) kisses me when he's hungry and not because he loves me. Hmph. Cheaty little kitty. I swear, he was doing his usual kiss-my-face-off routine this afternoon (it's actually a really good … [Read more...]
