Things, lately

By in kitty

This summer we’ve been on the go constantly, it seems. We stayed at yet another hotel for 2 nights and I think I may be maxed out on my love of all things hotel. Honestly, I sleep better in my own bed with just Shannon. At least then I can poke him and he rolls […]

Babies.

By in babies

Seems every time I meet a baby I think that THIS is the best baby ever. And then I meet a newer one and I think it all over again-sort of like Artie Lange who always says the same thing about the Miss Howard TV. Anyway, I really did meet the best baby ever this […]

Been, gone, back

By in a good day, love, we have fun

We just got home from a quick vacation before Shannon’s surgery leaves him (potentially) incapacitated. We drove up to Ottawa, spent the night in a fun hotel with an indoor waterslide with Shannon’s brother, sister-in-law and their 3 kids in the next room. The next night Ari stayed with her cousins at their newly re-built […]

Be gentle, it’s my first time!

By in food

I’d always admired Daring Bakers challenges on foodgawker but never had the nerve to join as I am so far from being a baker it’s not even funny. Then a couple months ago they added a new challenge, daring COOKS! Sadly, I signed up on the very worst day and had to wait a month […]

Let’s play ball!

By in a good day, we have fun, work

I went to my first Jay’s game of the season last night-they played Baltimore and lost 7-5. It was still a good game, mostly I am bored by baseball, but it is smattered with excitement and that’s what keeps me awake. That and my satellite radio-I had Howard Stern blabbing in my ear for most […]

Neat-O!

By in a good day

On my way to meet an old friend (as in, we met at camp in grade 6) for lunch today, I got stopped at a long light which annoyed me at first, but then I got super excited when I realized what the car with the weird contraption on the roof was: Can you see […]

Filth! Smut! Carrots!

By in food

I’ve become the farmer’s market queen, obsessively riding my bike from one to another almost daily. I never buy much, there hasn’t been much to buy…mid-August we should be up to our eyeballs in tomatoes and other wondrous things. On Monday I went to the Sorauren Market and picked up a sack of mini mutant […]

Introducing the elusive Brenda Walsh

By in kitty

She was out in the newly charcoal-replaced-in-the-filter super clear water so I snuck over and took a picture: She’s the black one in the middle, you can barely see her. But I think anyone with a speck of fish knowlege will appreciate her enormitude. Gigantic pleco, indeed! More pics after the JUMP!

Art

By in Art!

It’s been a long time since Shannon and I have gone stenciling together and I miss it. And that feeling was compounded a couple weeks ago when these appeared around the corner from our place:    They’re great. I went to the Sorauren Farmer’s Market today and only bought some mutant baby carrots. I’m waiting […]
