Last night my husband and I went on a DATE to (belatedly) celebrate our tenth anniversary and I got a new dress and shoes! It was exactly a year and a week since I had my varicose vein surgery, and so I thought I would celebrate by wearing shoes and stockings, rather than my usual […]
Eight! Eight! Eight is Great!

Yesterday I was doing some things around the school (putting up posters asking for volunteers to help in the naturalization area. Do you want to help? No?

I don’t know if you remember what the weather was like nine years and three hundred and sixty three days ago, but I do, perfectly. For a month it had been minus thirty and snowing, but suddenly the temperature turned warm and mild. It was a beautiful day in Banff, and I was walking around […]

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 […]
