My roses are blooming, and that is not a euphemism of any kind. Well, maybe it’s a bit of a euphemism. I came across this hilarious piece about ludicrous things said by yoga teachers, and thank goodness none of them have ever been said to me, because “Let your anus blossom” is something no one […]
So stabby.

I feel like I must be mere minutes away from the start of my ladies’ holiday, given my current state of stabbiness. It is a good thing for the world that I am not walking around with a knife tied to a broomstick, a la Peggy OIsen, elsewise everyone I encounter today would find themselves […]

Did you have a nice long weekend? Despite our original plans falling through, we managed to have a lovely one. We spent a night at my parents’ cabin – the “cabin” that is three times the size of my house and has twice as many bathrooms, which is my idea of camping – and played […]

Breaking News: the ground has thawed in YYC! Yes, only a tiny drift of snow remains in only the shadiest part of my yard, and all other gardens are showing signs of life. Little green shoots! Tiny baby plants! Buds on the trees, with the regrettable exception of the once-beautiful-now-apparently-dead, fifty year old hawthorn tree. I’ve […]

I was digging through my bottom dresser drawer on the weekend and found a little bag containing a number of cards, including a Blockbuster Video membership card. How long has that been there? There was also a Northwest Airlines World Perks card I had from my working-girl-business-travel era, which was some time ago. Clearly I need to […]
