Part 2 is finally here! As is winter break; the kids are off school, it’s minus a billion outside, and I have nowhere to be and nothing particular that needs to get done, so I’m drinking Bailey’s and coffee and listening to Christmas carols. Festive! Without further ado, I present the random things I love […]
FEEL THE ENERGY
November 26, 2012 by
Every month, I realize anew that my complete lack of energy for a week, followed by super-strength-energizer-bunny energy is actually related to my, how shall I put this, lady cycles.

October 15, 2012 by
I had the most productive weekend! Shit got DONE around here. I had a number of things on my to-do list and every one of them was accomplished, even down to the “putting photos in albums” task. For reasons that I do not comprehend, I find putting photos in albums to be one of the […]

Happy Thanksgiving, all my Canadian friends. Although I’ve always thought that Thanksgiving is among the lamer of the holidays, given that I have never been interested in pie, turkey, or any of the usual turkey-trimmings-pie-fanfare.
