Old skool

By in daily grind, haha

I wish I still had my old Metropass id card. They aren’t required anymore, which is good. I look toughballs. I found an old cd with pictures on it, so I am going through them and seeing what’s what. Lots of good old stuff, indeed! Taken on our trip to Vegas, early 2001. I didn’t […]

Yawn

By in daily grind

I barely slept last night because of the gale force winds rattling the window. It sounded like a tornado and there were several moments when I clutched Shannon’s hand, convinced I would be covered in shattered glass from the window blowing in. I actually speak from experience: when I was 7, I was in a […]

Good news vs. Bad news

By in a good day, daily grind, food, we have fun

I 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Crazy weekend, part 1

By in a good day, daily grind

Seriously, I had the greatest weekend. On Saturday I went to Target with my mother and sister and spent $90. What did I get other than my favourite pharmaceuticals? New sheets ($12.48 for an entire king set, which is just…well, crazy), a wallet that I think is supposed to be a makeup bag, sandals and […]

Here’s what I am wearing today:

Yellow and grey striped half sleeve shirt from Old Navy. Jeans from H&M (on their last legs, mind you, best jeans I have ever owned other than that pair from Forever 21). White belt with pink stars from Union Station. Fruit of the Loom bra. Red underwear from The Gap. No name socks. Roxy watch […]

A cautionary tale

By in daily grind, haha

This picture represents the most dangerous part of the house I live in. For some reason it’s incredibly slippery and every time I walk on it, whether in slippers, socks or bare footed, I falter. My arms wave in the air and I mutter “whoa whoa!” So this happens about 20 times a day/night. I’ve […]
