It was “Dress as Your Twin” day at school – a day where kids get “spirit points” for their “colour squad” if they dress the same as someone else, and my kids took it to the extreme, dressing in the exact same outfit, down to the socks and underwear. Extra points for that? I am […]
Men of Years Past, or Childhood Memories
November 19, 2012 by
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 […]
Moustaches, Sexy Men, and Early Morning Photographs
November 16, 2012 by
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 […]

For the record, every day is Grandparents’ Day, just like every month should be Gratitude Month. Right? It’s like I tell my kids when they are coveting something new immediately after a […]
Hot Carl
November 5, 2012 by
Twice a year I find myself commenting that I am in awe that we, as a society, still deal with such an antiquated notion as Daylight Savings Time, and twice a year my husband tells me that I am starting to sound crazy when I launch a diatribe against it. And yet, although my children are […]
November 1st equals Christmas
November 1, 2012 by
There have been a number of Very Sad, Moderately Sad, and Mildly Sad things going on in the Boyhouse and in the world at large this week. Happily, general Halloween festivities and related sugary and non-sugary joy have cheered me, as well as the fact that as of 11:00 this morning, I have finished my […]
