I went out for a few hours, came home, and found that my husband had wrapped all the Christmas gifts! It was the best Christmas gift ever! It instantly made me feel like giving HIM a big Christmas gift, if you know what I’m saying. Voluntary gift wrapping is even sexier than voluntary dishwasher unloading. […]
The very best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loud for all to hear.

Holy shit! Where’s the Tylenol?
December 5, 2011 by
The boys have been practicing Christmas songs at school – for what purpose, I am unclear, since they never have a pageant or holiday-themed special night for the parents to watch them do non-denominational festive winter performances or anything. Don’t get me wrong; I am not a “put the Christ back in Christmas” kind of girl, not […]
Yes, John Cusack too.
November 21, 2011 by
Okay, okay. I wrote my last post and then had an avalanche of people ask me WHY John Cusack wasn’t included. Even my husband – my husband! – read the post and asked why John Cusack wasn’t on the list. Here’s the truth: I forgot about poor John Cusack. Poor Lloyd Dobler. I blame the […]
Nicole’s 10 Sexiest Men Alive List, or the post where I shamelessly objectify males
November 19, 2011 by
The book fair is finished now, much to my relief. By the end of it I pretty much hated children, a sentiment not unlike the one I used to get when I waitressed in university and would, after working a certain number of shifts in a row, hate the entire human race. By the end […]
Boring, Useless, Who-Gives-A-Shit Information
November 9, 2011 by
Many, many years ago, before my mother-in-law discovered email and all the associated animated emoticons that could be utilized therein, she used to send me actual written letters, usually accompanied by a piece of knitting she had been doing – the knitted dishclothes I prefer, for example. In one such letter she had written all […]
Knowing Me, Knowing You, The Time Change Edition
November 7, 2011 by
With clock-like consistency, there are two times of the year that get me excessively agitated and stabby, and those times are the “Spring Forward” and “Fall Back” atrocities known as Daylight Saving-related time changes. I may have mentioned this before. I’m not going to bore you with the details, but I will say that, as I […]
Dental Scaling or Pelvic Exam? Survey says…
October 5, 2011 by
Last week I was at the dentist for a checkup and for scaling. The word “scaling” gives me the chills. I conducted a brief and informal survey among girlfriends, regarding which they would rather have: dental scaling or a pelvic exam. The results were approximately 75/25 in favour of pelvic exams. Of course, this isn’t a scientifically accurate […]
