So Shannon gave me my xmas present last night as it needs to be brought on our trip: YES! It’s a Kindle! And I’ve already plopped 18 books onto it so that ought to keep me somewhat busy on our trip. How cool is this thing anyway? Other news: I took out my tongue piercing. […]

Packing heat
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, clothes, food, friendsWe’re getting ready to take off for a few days over xmas. Because we’ve taken so many trips in the last year, it’s become easier for me, I no longer make lists of what to bring-it’s second nature now. I also keep vacation stuff (passports, goggles, miniature toiletries) all together to keep things simple. The […]

Underwears
By Caitlin Jane in clothesI’m in desperate need of new bras-or brars, as my boss calls them-and I’ve been on the hunt for the kind I like. But no, I am unable to find them. Here’s what I want: NO padding. No ‘light lining’, as it’s called at LaSenza. Just simple and preferably no under wire either. There’s nothing […]

I got 99 problems but my coat ain’t one
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, clothes, foodWinter, it seems, is finally here which means I’ve worn my new winter coat all of 3 times. It’s stunning, not just in appearance but in it’s warmth, a knee length down-filled coat is very cozy. Oh, so warm. I wore it to the grocery store this morning and actually had to take it off […]

It was only $20 and comes with several attachments for grating and stuff (and we needed a new grater) so I’ve used it daily since. I made salads on the weekend and made some pickled onions and today I sliced up some raw beets because […]

It’s a 2 parter
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, clothes, kitty1. Pigeon! This one, again at Bathurst Station, was too pretty to ignore so I snapped her picture. She looked like she might be offering Lotto advice. This was across from the Jamaican patty bakery downstairs. 2. For Joanie: One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish pants. On Queen West, outside of CityTV. It’s […]

A tale of epic kludgery…
By Caitlin Jane in foodI’m not sure if this will ever appear on the website in question, but as far as I am concerned There! I Fixed It! totally applies to the following: For some reason I decided I’d like to make truffles to hand out at xmas time. I’d looked on foodgawker and Martha Stewart for recipes and […]

Amusements
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, Art!, hahaI had a super day: I went to ROM all by myself which is a great way to see everything I want to see without worrying if everyone else is having fun. It was so nice, the Vanity Fair show was wonderful, I love portrait photography. Plus it brought me up to the 4th floor […]

Yay for mail!
By Caitlin Jane in crochetI got some gorgeous yarn in the mail today, it’s called Banana Problem and it’s from play at life fibre arts. It’s sock yarn but at the rate I knit socks, I doubt that it will ever be footwear. And because I am pretty much exclusively knitting gifts for xmas this year, this will go […]
