Well, hello there, Friday! It’s been a long time since I posted on a Friday evening. Normally I’m too busy sitting on the couch making out with a bottle of wine and watching Jeopardy or reruns of 30 Rock to think about writing anything. But lucky you, dear readers, because tonight I am sitting here […]
Do you know how hard it is to find a non-slutty pirate costume?

It’s only eight days until the second-most-anticipated event in my household, second only to Christmas, and that is the school’s annual Family Halloween Dance. It is, without a doubt, the social event of the season, and it is over by 8:30 pm, which is to say that it is my kind of party. My husband […]
In which I reveal myself as a snob and a lunatic, all at the same time

I had the most productive weekend! Shit got DONE around here. I had a number of things on my to-do list and every one of them was accomplished, even down to the “putting photos in albums” task. For reasons that I do not comprehend, I find putting photos in albums to be one of the […]

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.

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

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 […]
