Simple Pleasures

By in food, love, we have fun

Today I made cupcakes to celebrate Hallowe’en. Nothing like eating sweets on the way out the door to collect more sweets, right? I know Ari will share her bounty with us, she never likes ALL the candy she gets and she does love to be generous. I honestly can’t remember the last time I went […]

Early X-mas

By in a good day, caitlin's crap, love, we have fun

I was thinking about writing a little about karma, but seeing as I don’t really believe in it, I will tell you what I DO believe in. Love. From family and friends. So I got a message from my friend Michelle who works for MAC makeup (and is on maternity leave right now) asking me […]

Home. Tired. Stuff.

By in love, we have fun

I can’t really get my thoughts together in any appropriate way-and we all know that Shannon will do a better job with pictures than I will-but we had a great time, a seriously wonderful time. Until then, I leave you with this: infant sloth bellybutton. Nothing in the world is cuter than this.

Rescued!

By in kitty, love

No pictures, sorry, he’s shy. But I rescued the World’s Smartest Turtle from certain death earlier today. Or yesterday, I guess, same thing. When I woke up and walked past the pond there was no water squizzling out of the squirter and I was all, DANG IT! because I’d just cleaned the filter and it […]

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, […]

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 […]

Moving right along

By in a good day, love

I’d tried to delete my myspace page a couple months ago but wasn’t able to  because I couldn’t remember the password for the email that I’d used to sign up. It’s my oldest email address and I think that it may be completely dead. So after I read an article on boingboing about people who […]

This is the joke that never ends

By in food, Griping, love

I wound up at a walk-in clinic this afternoon. Since we’ve been home from Cuba I have been blessed with pretty serious stomach cramps and haven’t had a solid…well, I will spare you the gorier details but let’s just say that the phrase “pissing out my asshole” is appropriate. Now I’ve been told to stick […]

Turn! Turn! Turn!

By in a good day, love

Today was Ari’s last day of school. There were sports in the morning and a barbecue and cake after. It was really nice, her teachers are very supportive and loving, and all the kids and family members (almost all, other than the stuff throwing kid) were great. She’s excited about starting at her new school […]

I’m gonzo

By in a good day, love

2009 has been alternately incredibly joyous and unbearably unpleasant (and not for reasons most people would guess!) and I am taking a mini vacation to Montreal for a couple days. I will be meeting up with  my sister (who lives in Vancouver) and we are planning on being good tourists, visiting museums, shopping and eating […]
