Leaving like a queen.

By in a good day, Art!, crochet

Inspired by etsy, I have made a bunch of crochet rings and I love them. Much like the acorns, they don’t use up a lot of stash but they’re so fast and instantly satisfying that I love love love them. You will love them too. I’ve already given two away-to my mom-and have been wearing […]

ME RIDE BIKEY!

By in a good day, babies, we have fun

Ari and I went on an overnight road trip to her Oma’s house to spend some final summer time with family. It was quite idyllic and Kathy’s homestead is wonderful. Ari’s cousins are always up for fun and Oma’s gotten her hands on a bunch of kid sized bikes for everyone, including Uncle Devon. I’m […]

Let’s go to The Ex!

By in a good day, we have fun

I spent the afternoon wandering around The Ex. As always, I had a super time with my boss, looking for free stuff and testing weird machinery. We each had a fingernail pained with flowers and we ate stupid amounts of bad-for-you food. My boss especially loved the belly jiggling belt that makes the claim that […]

Welcome to my world.

By in a good day, daily grind, kitty, love

Turdy is still in the pond. While I haven’t seen him with my own eyes, by all accounts, he’s there. I’ve spent the last couple weeks loading up my tumblr account. I got a page the second I heard of it so I have a great url, but until I am 100% comfy with it, […]

Cookin’

By in a good day, food

I was inspired today by a post on foodgawker for apple crumble. Or is it crisp? Then I thought, well hey, it’s summer and Ontario peaches are taking over the universe, why not use them? So I went to the store and got a basket of them, some raspberries (non-Ontario, or non-tario) and a bunch […]

It was a weird day in more than one way

By in a good day, Art!

So, not taking anything away from dead squirrels, but the sky on my way out of the subway today was incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever seen clouds quite like this before.

Dark sky, dark days

By in a good day, books and reading

It’s been bloody hot here in Toronto, as everyone seems to be talking about. Then the sky turned black and it rained. Oh, did I say ‘rained’? It fucking bucketed down. It still smells like garbage strike here so any and all rain is embraced by me. Then the rain stopped and blue sky rolled […]

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 […]

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 […]
