Because of all the flood craziness around here, it feels like it’s been months since the kids were in school, when in reality it’s only been, officially, four days. It has been sunny, warm, and dry here which I am hoping will expedite the death of the billions of gargantuan mosquitoes in the city. The […]
Come to think of it, Superman is a douche
March 19, 2013 by
There is this strange phenomenon I’ve noticed this winter: no matter what the weather is like at all other times of the day, it will surely become much, much worse at school pickup time. I’m not sure what it is about the 3:30-4:00 time slot, but lately it’s been nothing but gale force winds, snow, […]
February and Friday Happiness
February 1, 2013 by
It’s the first day of February! January is over, for those of you who had a case of the January blues. And here in Calgary, the weather today is unseasonably warm, the snow is melting, cars are filthy. This warmth is in sharp contrast to earlier in the week, when it was minus 37 with […]

December 27, 2012 by
Well hello, my friends. I hope you have been making merry in the past few days. It has been so frigidly cold here, but I’m kind of glad – it gives me an excuse to be extremely lazy and slothful. Kids in their jammies into the afternoon? Well, why not? We’re not going anywhere in this […]

Festive! Without further ado, I present the random things I love […]
Pajama Jeans, Moose Mugs, and Strange Viruses
December 18, 2012 by
Probably because I had So Much To Do and Remember with regards to Christmas, various school spirit days, the casino fundraiser, and other random things happening this week, I got terribly sick on Sunday. That will teach me! I had a strange virus that presented as severe abdominal pain and a fever, and also narcolepsy. […]
I’m singing! And I’m in the post office. And I’m SINGING!
December 10, 2012 by
Hey, what has two thumbs and just made it in and out of the post office in less than five minutes? THIS GIRL. I had to mail a package to my in-laws – because I’m such a fabulous daughter-in-law – and I was psyching myself up for total mayhem and trauma. I was even ready […]
