Which is to say I’m kind of tired. It has been a long and disjointed week, ending with the kids out of school today due to parent/teacher interviews. My husband was out of town for a couple of days, which always makes for a long, disjointed week. When he told me he was going out […]
Hey, check out the guy who’s FIVE.
September 15, 2010 by
Those were his first words to me this morning. I should teach him the old “What has two thumbs and is FIVE today? This guy!” We baked cookies to take to his class yesterday. They turned out not too bad, considering I was frosting them and Jake was in charge of sprinkles. I wrote about […]
Hardwood, birthday prep, smoking
September 13, 2010 by
Pictures! Hardwood! Don’t worry, they are G-rated. My husband also painted that lovely burnt orange colour this weekend.

It’s quiet. A little TOO quiet.

August 17, 2010 by
I woke up this morning thinking that I was supposed to remember something about today when it occurred to me: it’s the 33rd anniversary of Elvis’ death. Festive! I love fat Elvis, and not just for his music. It takes a certain something something to be able to rock out a sparkly jumpsuit. And capes! […]
Happy (almost) Birthday Canada!
July 1, 2010 by
Since in our house, birthdays must always be marked by cake, I am in the process of making an angel food cake with strawberry cream filling, the colours a nod to our lovely, lovely flag. My mother-in-law made this particular cake for me eleven years ago, and it instantly became my favourite dessert. All other […]
School’s Out For Summer!
June 26, 2010 by
Ooh, I hate that song, along with most Alice Cooper songs – although I do think that Alice Cooper, himself, seems like a very cool guy, as far as celebrities go. While I’m on the topic, I also hate the musical stylings of Tom Petty and that atrocious Kim Mitchell, I Am A Wild Party […]
