I am pleased to report the happy news that there have been zero barfing incidents since the first day of school. Although, writing that, I just broke out into a cold sweat thinking that I just jinxed everything and now my children will be up all night barfing. Cue the Stevie Wonder riffs.I really, really […]
First you tell me that your dog ran away, then you tell me that it took three days

I’m happy to tell you all that I made it out of the Regina airport! I know you were wondering. Well, I had a fantastic visit with my grandma – I’m so glad I went – and I also saw my beloved aunts and cousins as well. It was, all in all, a perfect visit! […]
Well, hello there, stranger!

How have you been? I’ve been away. I just spent a week with my in-laws, and I ONLY have nice things to say.

And this is what my life has become

I swore I wouldn’t write another post about the renovation, and yet it consumes me, dear reader. My life is swallowed by the renovation, and the working around the contractor’s schedule, and the I need to choose a light fixture thinking that I have right now. I’m even boring myself. Be thankful you don’t need […]
First Step (Ask Her Out and Treat Her Like A Lady)
May 23, 2012 by
The first step in the kitchen renovation is done! Does anyone else immediately get Step By Step by Eddie Rabbit stuck in their head after saying the words “first step”? Or is it just me? I also cannot say – or listen to – the words “Here’s the situation” without mentally rapping the entire second half […]
