I have heard “Glory Days” no fewer than five times in the past two days. Is it a sign? Perhaps the universe is saying something about my impending 20 year high school reunion. Should I start reliving those glory days? Perhaps don a baby doll dress to wear with army boots? Spiral perm my hair? […]
Nicole’s Favourite Things, January Blues Edition
January 21, 2013 by 16 Comments
Last week I posted about being blue on Blue Monday, but today it was brought to my attention that TODAY IS BLUE MONDAY. But I was sad last week! I’m not sad today! How can it possibly be Blue Monday if I am not sad? I know. I know. It isn’t all about me. Maybe […]
Anyone else have a crush on Mike the hitman?
January 19, 2013 by 11 Comments
Wowza, it’s been quite a strange week. I was eyeing the bottle of wine on the counter, wondering if it would be acceptable to enjoy a glass before dinner; it’s a Friday after all, I spent ninety minutes standing in the playground this afternoon, my husband is working late as usual and what the hell.

Well, it is! I don’t know who comes up with these specialty months; probably the same people who come up with “Grandparents’ Day”. For the record, every day is Grandparents’ Day, just like every month should be Gratitude Month. Right? It’s like I tell my kids when they are coveting something new immediately after a […]

July 3, 2012 by 13 Comments
Right this minute, there is a news story on TV, in honour of Canada Day, all about the words “eh”, “knapsacks”, and “washroom”, and how ketchup chips are a Canadian thing. American friends, I must know this for true: are there no ketchup chips in the States? Really? If that is true, I am very sad for […]
I has a sad

Have you ever had one of those days where you are sad, but not for a particularly valid reason, and that lack of a valid reason makes you even more sad? That was me today. As I swept up the dust, again, I started to feel limp and wrung-out, with the thought of excessive noise […]
