Boosting the Blue Jays

By in a good day, seriously?, we have fun

I went to another ball game last night, Blue Jays vs. Cleveland Indians. We got great seats because we went with a friend who’s in a wheelchair: disabled seating’s quite fantastic, actually, you’re on the floor right behind the 100′s and they give you folding chairs, so there’s tons of legroom, you can stand up […]

Exciting give away time!

By in we have fun

Shannon ordered the three shirt surprise pack from teefury and liked only 2 of them. This is where I come in. Rather than let shirt #3 rot on the couch, I thought I could mail it to a deserving recipient. This is a Lost shirt, a men’s size XL, it’s pretty big. This is the […]

Also delicious

By in food, making stuff is good

Crumbles be damned, from this day forward I am a Cobbler girl. I think I got this recipe from PW and it’s a total winner: 1 stick butter, melted 1.25 C sugar 1 C self-rising flour 1 C milk (I used goat milk because that’s what we have here these days) 2 C blackberries Whisk […]

When you have the time/space. Since last Monday when I was at the Sorauren Farmer’s Market (which, if you are in the area, you really should go to, it’s small but everyone there is nice and has beautiful local/organic produce) and met some nice ladies from Parkdale’s Westend Food Co-op who made me think about […]

What we done did do

By in love, we have fun

Went swimming, we sure did. Some of us, at least. The water was crystal clear and cold as fuck, just like I like it. Little Bluff is my very favourite fresh water place to swim, I guess.  Don’t look too closely at my love handles, I promise I am working at making them smaller. Then […]

Perspective

By in toys

My mother asked about the size of the bricks used in the Japan style Lego project in my previous post, so I took a couple pictures to show just how small they are. I dug through Ari’s regular Lego collection and tried to find matching bricks. As you can see, they dwarf the Nanoblocks: And […]

A group effort

By in Art!, toys, we have fun

Ari was sent a giant package from Japan including this micro lego set. It’s a little beyond Ari’s abilities (or rather, her patience and willingness to build something so detailed) so after her and Shannon completed the first 4 levels, I took it over and snapped a picture at the end of each level. It […]

I live for this stuff

By in haha, seriously?

Feverishly trying to prove myself smarter than a fifth grader on my DS last night, I came upon this question: I realize it’s blurry, that is part of the charm of taking pictures in a hurry with a camera phone. Phone camera.  Anyway, it reads: WHAT IN NOT A TYPICAL SYMPTOM OF A BROKEN BONE? […]
