Due to excessive face painting, we needed to go to my old stomping grounds, Malabar, to buy more white. I had a feeling it would be a hit, and I was right. Doug was nice enough to let Ari try on costumes. Sometimes I really miss working there, people love trying on crazy stuff and […]

New hat
By Caitlin Jane in making stuff is goodShannon was really hoping it was for him (uh, it’s PINK, and everyone knows pink is for girls!) so I have to go out and get more yarn. Good thing it’s an easy pattern and only took a couple hours to work up, and I always love yarn shopping. I don’t have to work ’til […]

Kids these days
By Caitlin Jane in fucking weird man, hahaHere’s another sign that I am getting old: I don’t understand the fashions of today. For instance: On the subway ride home there were two mid-teen girls who were both wearing mini shorts with lumberjack socks and one had moccasins on her feet, the other had Birkenstocks. Ugly as hell. But before that, I […]

Good news vs. Bad news
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, food, we have funI had a great day. Seriously. The three of us went out for lunch today at a funny little weiner restaurant that was pretty good, apart from the sporadic-at best-service. While there, I saw a flier for a farmer’s market that is reasonably close to where we live and was happening today. SO, I rode […]

No boys allowed
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, we have funToday was girls only day. First, we made a bunch of stickers by cutting out pictures from tabloid magazines and sandwiching them between layers of clear sticky paper. They are now stuck all over the toy trunk. Then we had peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to Melonheads and one of us had […]

My cool quotient just went up again
By Caitlin Jane in friends, we have funDo you watch the show Cock’d Gunns? I watched it by accident during my trip to Windsor a few months ago, and I am totally addicted to it now. It’s crazy silly and completely hilarious. Plus I love that it’s filmed in Toronto and trying to figure out where they are. I think their house […]

M.I.A.
By Caitlin Jane in GripingMoving from a 4 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apartment (about a third the size) is a sure fire way to lose stuff that is very important. And right now I am in a tizzy because I can not, for the life of me, find my hair iron. Shannon says he likes me with […]

Yo, yo, yo
By Caitlin Jane in food, friendsWe drove to Lindsay yesterday to visit our old friends and former co workers, the Wardens. Their farm is so intensely jealous making, it’s not even funny. I controlled my urge to pick up baby chicks, but I did get to scritch one of their black lambs. So cute. Wow. This morning we all trekked […]

Mmm! Cake!
By Caitlin Jane in foodI love cake just like anyone loves cake. For some reason today I have been laughing at cake websites. Cake Wrecks is great, so funny and I looked at all the pictures (and I read the captions) straight through to the end and laughed a lot. This one might be my favourite of all time. […]

Ew. Ew ew ew.
By Caitlin Jane in fucking weird man, hmmmm, workSo I went to the house today to do more organizing and cleaning. I got a LOT of work done. It seems easier when you’re alone with no distractions. I finished our bedroom, Ari’s bedroom and both bathrooms, and did a bunch of work in the kitchen. I should have known something weird was going […]
