It’s a beautiful autumn day here in YYC! Did you just cry a little? Yeah, me too. Less than two weeks ago, this was the scene: Jake, climbing our tree, wearing shorts. Not shown in this photograph is the total heart attack I was having and trying to conceal. “Wow, honey, you’re a really great climber!” […]
No, honey, I will not murder you when you cease to be a fast driver.

Happy Thanksgiving, all my Canadian friends. Although I’ve always thought that Thanksgiving is among the lamer of the holidays, given that I have never been interested in pie, turkey, or any of the usual turkey-trimmings-pie-fanfare. And yet, it’s always a good idea to be thankful for what one has. Right now I’m mostly thankful that […]
Sorry, but I’m not a bodybuilder
October 3, 2012 by
I am in a MOOD. I was in a very chipper mood this morning, even though it was snowing and gusty and freezing. Part of this chipper-ness had to do with the fact that my husband is now at home and I am not the sole responsible adult around here, and part of the chipper-ness […]
When the cat’s away…
October 1, 2012 by
My husband is briefly out of town, and you know what that means! Salad for dinner, an episode of NYPD Blue, and going to bed at 8:45 pm! When the cat’s away, this little mouse is going to get her party on. A salad/NYPD Blue/early bedtime party. Yesterday I could feel a cold coming on. I […]
NOT DOCTOR SLOAN!

Well, dammit. I guess I’m never watching Grey’s Anatomy again. You know, I ALMOST stopped watching after Meredith’s near-death experience, and I ALMOST stopped watching when Denny had a recurring post-death role, and I ALMOST stopped watching when there was a hospital shooting – the swat team was right there, how did they not take […]
SANTA’S COMING (in less than three months)
September 26, 2012 by
Yesterday I kept hearing people say “It’s only three months until Christmas!” which got me to feeling like this: SANTA’S COMING! Of course, in three months from today I will be either a) taking down the tree and packing up the decorations because that is ENOUGH Christmas, or b) wishing I was taking down the […]
Tony Romo and his huge boner
September 22, 2012 by
My husband was watching Sunday NFL Countdown, when I overheard the commentator say “Tony Romo had the biggest boner in NFL history.” Who uses the word “boner” interchangeably with “screw up” anymore? Or ever, for that matter? In any case this, for me, surpassed the golf commentator’s use of “stroking”, the football colour commentator’s use […]
