Skwinkles

By in food

I love candy and I am always game for trying new things. This product, however, stopped me in my tracks: Skwinkles Salsagheti. I got it at the airport in Mexico City. The tagline reads “Dulce en tiras enchiladas sabor mango y salsa sabor tamarindo” with the English translation under “Hot mango flavored strips and tamarind […]

More Mexico, like you can get enough

By in a good day, we have fun

There are a couple pictures that I took that I like very much and that I think warrant further explanation. They were already posted on Zen, but I will provide the deets. #1 The round rainbow, or roundbow. It was outside the flight from Toronto to Mexico City and followed us for a long time. […]

Who’da thunk!

By in food

I have been begging Shannon to take me to T&T for so long and finally, today, we made the trip out to Cherry Beach. Put simply, I love it there. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer produce and foods with a smaller carbon footprint, but really? It’s fantastic! First, it has everything you’d ever want […]

Actual photo of the blogger as a teenager

By in a good day, friends

This was taken when I was in grade 10 at the Dr.Disc we all hung out at in St. Catharines. I am wearing one of my dad’s sport coat jackets and a plaid scarf that I used to spritz with Ralph Lauren’s Polo at the drug store whenever I went with my friend Kathy Rose. […]

Green. They are green.

By in a good day, clothes

We had a work Christmas party to go to the other night so I decided to wear festive makeup. And colours. I dread the day when this green shirt is too worn out. The next picture is me when I am frustrated by how not great my self portraits are. Hm, whatever. I have also […]

Ho!

By in a good day, haha, we have fun

Guess who I met today? Most of the time I dream about escaping this city and living on a farm on Cape Breton Island, but sometimes, like today at Bloor station, Santa was there with a polaroid elf, it makes me glad I live in a big city. I must have gotten to him at […]

A+ Day

By in a good day, we have fun

We had what can only be described as a great day. The morning was spent at ROM with our Moleskine books and pencils. Then we ate lunch out, got a new board game all three of us can play, came home and played it, then video games (Ooh, Littlest Pet Shop!), supper, and then we […]

Not the last unicorn I hope!

By in Art!

We suffered through a couple viewings of terrible unicorn videos on youtube on the weekend, complete with sad songs. So awful. Good thing they generated some great art: I especially love the baby unicorn Ari drew, it’s SO cute. It’s eyebrow was specifically drawn to represent happiness. I also love Shannon’s mommy unicorn’s mouth/tongue. And […]

Promises, promises

By in a good day, work

I said I would write a complete review of the book Twilight when I finished reading it. Sorry, folks, I lied. I finished it a while ago and it immediately slipped my mind-that’s how vacuous the book is. Instead, I will provide a couple other peoples reviews of the book/movie. This one is good, he […]
