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 […]
So bored! Send entertainment!
November 23, 2012 by
Here we are now. Entertain us.Jake is now in Day Two of a cold. I kept him home yesterday in hopes that it would be a quick recovery, only to have him wake up this morning, worse. Backfire! I’m not complaining too much; my kids are rarely sick and rarely miss school. Even with swollen, […]
Fun with the Sears Catalogue
November 12, 2012 by
This was the view out my back door last week: It has been cold and snowy forever, I think. In reality it has been more like three and a half weeks, but it feels like forever. At least the sun came out yesterday, which makes me feel less like stabbing people who complained about the […]

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!” […]

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!
September 28, 2012 by
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 […]
