Paradise?

By in friends, from mexico, love

There’s no denying it’s beautiful here. I went for a drive along the Pacific coast with a friend in his VW Thing yesterday. The goal was to end up at a beach where they release baby turtles. We did find it and paid the 60 pesos each to help (that’s about $5). The problem was […]

Checking In

By in food, friends, from mexico, Griping

First, to be super clear, I realize I don’t need a dog. It’s just that when one is put up on Craigslist for free and it’s spelled adorably incorrectly (“chiwawa”) the temptation is almost too overwhelming. No, I won’t contact them, but I want to, having a companion here would be very nice. Not that […]

Bad Endings

By in friends, love

This is all I’m going to write about the last 2 months. A long time ago, 6 years, when I first got back together with Shannon, a lot of people weren’t terribly thrilled. My best friend at the time was particularly unhappy about it, she had been around during the first break up and she […]

It’s still Wednesday

By in friends, love, work

I was sent this picture today and thought I should share it because we look so adorable in it. Me and my employer, Therasa. I’ve worked for her for more than 5 years now and most days feel like I am the third sister she never had (and realistically would probably hate me if I […]

Birthday roundup

By in caitlin's crap, friends, love

I know I promised to blog more often but it’s not every week one turns 40. Yes, 40. It’s slowly sinking in, the horror of it. Here is the face of 40. It’s ok, I had such an amazing week so full of love and support I can’t complain. It technically started on Tuesday when […]

Pretty much my proudest moment

By in friends, we have fun

It’s Jill, then me, then Colleen, and then Holly. And I WON a bowling game for the first time ever in my life. Not only that but I was playing with women that grew up bowling and that don’t suck at bowling at all. Not only that but it was the first time I ever […]

Ok, ok, so I lied

By in Art!, crochet, friends

I spent last weekend in Kinkardink visiting with my dear friends Ashley and Scott (and their hilarious and sweet children) and remembered that the John Lennon piece wasn’t the only cross stitch I’d ever made. Nope, there is this one too. Silly. I’m planning on blogging more, I’ve got a great post about my latest […]

GPOYW

By in friends, love

Not actually taken today, but it’s a GPOM in any case. Taken on my way out the door to Jana‘s bridal shower/bachelorette. I never wear lipstick and Shannon said I looked really pretty so maybe I ought to wear it more often.

Veronica’s house

By in a good day, friends, love, we have fun

I spent about every other weekend at this house from the age of 4 through to about 14. It’s probably the most influential house of my entire life, more so than any house I ever lived in. This is the house I think of when I smell pancakes frying, use a white board, look at […]

New favourite

By in food, friends, seriously?

Pop. So it’s not the most exciting blog post? I can only find this at one store in all of Toronto, and believe me, I’ve been to ALL the stores here. All of them. Well, most of them. Can’t you just taste it right now? So delicious. So full of artificial everything. Yummmm. Ok, and […]
