The delux apartment in the sky

By in daily grind, Griping, we have fun

Moving. I hate it. I really do. I would love to be like Ryan and Corrie and find that house that you know you will be in forever. That might sound boring to some people, but when you have moved at least 17 times in your life, it sounds really dreamy. We aren’t going to […]

For Ali

By in a good day, haha

I finally told him the joke last night and he wanted to be sure to remember it to tell Ari, who loved it too, but isn’t allowed to tell it at school as “we are not allowed to use bathroom words in school”.

Comments

By in daily grind, food, haha

I moderate your first comment because if you want to say mean stuff, you at least have to be nice the first time. Too bad for Jack from BC who made this comment: It’s a comment on my entry about pigs. I wanted to let it through, but I just couldn’t do it…I don’t even […]

The long and short of it

By in food

I got my hair trimmed today, it looks great, thanks. To celebrate I made rice crispy squares that I liberally sprinkled with skor toffee bits. Yes, they are good. And yes, melted marshmallow is hard to get out of your hair.

Stuff. And things.

By in clothes, we have fun

My old friend Mark is in town from Texas (is there anyone from Texas who isn’t nice? If there is, I don’t want to know it) and brought me my presents from Amazon! Woo! So, I got my beautiful dress and jacket and I am thrilled to bits. I wish I had an iron so […]

Sexy!

By in babies, fucking weird man

I was looking for size 5 swim suits today and found this. The tag inside says it’s for an 18 month old. Is your toddler sexy? Were her first words “that’s hot”? This bathing suit was $3o at Winner’s. Gross, eh.

Thoughts on aging

By in daily grind

I’m no Andy Rooney, but there are lots of clues in my life that tell me I am getting old. I don’t like most modern music, I think teenagers dress strangely and are ruder than in my day and I like to read signs out loud. Another clue was this pay phone on Yonge Street […]

Questions about food

By in food

I got this from a blog called I’ve Got a Little Space to Fill, and decided that despite the fact that I had not been tagged, the questions were fun and I’d do it anyway. The rules for Memes: 1. Answer the questions. 2. Link to the person who tagged you in your post. 3. […]

CRASH!!!

By in Art!

We were awakened by a loud CRASH CRASH in the middle of the night that scared the crap out of me and left me laying in bed wondering if someone was breaking in to steal my book collection. When I got up this morning I found that the wire in the back of the frame […]

Literary round up

By in books and reading

I love books. No, like, I LOVE books. I have a lot of books, but I used to have more, before I returned to Toronto. I gave a lot of them away, donated some and pretty much just left the rest (well, not the rest, but a bunch) at my old house. I know you […]
