Lawsy, I’ve been busy – relatively speaking – since returning from vacation. It’s amazing how much piles up after an eight-day hiatus from the homefront. I’ve been multi-tasking like a motherfucking riot; taking the boys to the playground while mentally composing posts, responding to constant “fun facts” about animals while making 16 litres of tomato sauce, preparing frantically […]
Gazing at you, I get the beat.

It turns out I am easily unmoored.My parents took the kids up to the lake yesterday, and I was faced with thirty childless hours in which to get some things done. Productivity! It’s actually amazing how much can be accomplished when the children are not around. It’s also kind of startling how much of my […]

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 […]
The only way out is through
April 9, 2013 by
Yesterday I was having a fabulous hair day, which is not something that happens frequently at the best of times, and especially not when it’s T-3 days until my appointment at the hair salon. Generally, at this time in my hair cycle, my hair resembles a cross between straw and the fur on the old […]
The toll of shopping at Costco
March 15, 2013 by
Congratulations to Maggie, for winning the random draw! I picked up the prize yesterday on my trip to Costco. Can you spot it in my minivan? No, silly, it’s NOT the case of tetra pak almond milk. Nor is it the giant family size package of Snapea Crisps – those are ALL for me, family size […]
