Yesterday I was driving my kids to their yoga class when I came into a standstill traffic jam. As the 140 km/hour wind gusted around our minivan, I wondered if, perhaps, the insane weather had anything to do with it. The question was answered as I finally manoevered past the firetruck filled with men cleaning […]
These are a few of my favourite things

Every year, my very lovely friend Beck writes a satirical review of all the items on Oprah’s Favourite Things For The Holidays. It’s one of MY favourite things, reading her review.

Okay, okay. I wrote my last post and then had an avalanche of people ask me WHY John Cusack wasn’t included. Even my husband – my husband! – read the post and asked why John Cusack wasn’t on the list. Here’s the truth: I forgot about poor John Cusack. Poor Lloyd Dobler. I blame the […]
