Yesterday I had one of those days where I had amazing feats of accomplishments, one after another, except that the accomplishments themselves were so boring that they practically brought tears to my eyes. I wanted to share my amazing level of accomplishments with my husband, and so I started to list off all the things […]
Naked Shuffleboard

My weekend plans got kiboshed, and so yesterday I decided that since we were staying home, I may as well get a little bit of gardening done. It’s too early to really plant anything, I thought to myself, So I’ll just get a couple of really hardy plants. I walked into the garden centre and […]
