Yes, you read that title correctly. There will be a part two. Despite its darkness, and despite the fact that a) it was minus 12 this morning, b) my hands are constantly purple, and c) traffic and the streets are mayhem, I love December. It is one of my favourite months; the approaching holidays and associated festivity […]

November 29, 2012 by 18 Comments
For those of you who keep track of moon phases, which may or may not be many people, there was a full moon on Wednesday. For me, a full moon means no yoga – it’s tradition to not practice on full or new moon days – which translates to extra sleep. For some, however, it means that the Wolfman […]

Every month, I realize anew that my complete lack of energy for a week, followed by super-strength-energizer-bunny energy is actually related to my, how shall I put this, lady cycles.

Men of Years Past, or Childhood Memories

It’s the most wonderful time…of the year. Not only is it the holiday season (well, almost the holiday season, I was singing Santa Baby in a slutty voice to myself this morning, so it totally counts) but it is also the Sexiest Man Alive season, as I alluded to in my last post. Mark Wahlberg […]

I have been a bit MIA this week because it was the school’s book fair and the annual general meeting of the School Council, of which I am the chair, and those two events, along with all the usual housewifely stuff, made for a very busy week. This is my fourth year of running the book fair and I was silently […]
