Up

By in a good day, we have fun

My dad took me for a helicopter ride the other day, a first for both of us. It was way cool, zooming over the Niagara River, up to the falls. Yes, I took that picture.

England, part 2, the tourist

By in haha, love, we have fun

The truth of the trip is that we mostly did family stuff. It has been 7 years since my last visit and 20 years for my sister. We really wanted to get to know everyone again and a lot of time was spent sitting in living rooms, laughing our heads off. Of course we did […]

Baseball, bread, buns

By in food, we have fun, work

I went to the Jays game last night, they were playing the Mets and I thought that there would be a good turn out. I was wrong. Other than opening day, which was completely sold out (and I didn’t go to) this is pretty normal for the Skydome on a Friday night, at least in […]

Me. And Ari. And parrots.

By in Art!, love, we have fun

On our last family vacation to Mexico, Ari and I spent a day together at Xcaret. It is part water park and part zoo. Sort of. It is a fantastic place with tons of things to do and if you ever find yourself in the southern part of Quintana Roo, I highly recommend it. The […]

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 […]

Speckled pigeon is speckled.

By in kitty, we have fun

And I gots my strut on. This handsome fellow was outside the Skydome Roger’s Centre when I went to the Jays game last Friday against Detroit. Hard for me, what with my serious love of all things Detroit, but I’m a Toronto girl at heart. Birdy was hoping for hotdog bun and birdy was not […]

Yeah? SO?

By in Art!, haha, we have fun

It’s a horse dancing with another horse. Under a disco ball. You wanna make something of it? I so very wish I had art that I made when I was a kid. Ari actually handed this over the second she saw me after school the other day, she knew how much I’d like it. And […]

A sore back can only mean one thing…

By in crochet, making stuff is good, we have fun

I’m done cutting my blocks! Woo! It took 2 days and 2 rotary cutter blades and lots of swear words but I did it. I’m doing a basic 9 patch because, frankly, I like it’s simplicity. It’s classic and it looks great, especially with nice fabrics that deserve showcasing. Each block will have 2 6.5″ […]

Dia de los muertos

By in Art!, we have fun

On Shannon’s request. Darn iphone, I’m hopeless at self portraiture with a regular camera, iphones make it nearly impossible. The makeup looked way better in my mind and a little better before I tried to use one of last year’s contact lenses. That was a mistake, my eye still hurts. Thanks to Gillian too, for […]

Mt. Rebar

By in seriously?, we have fun

Spotted around the corner from my house, at the deconstruction site.  It’s at least 10 feet high and is like a giant nest of bent up rebar mixed with chunks of cement. It’s prettier than you’d think. It’s exactly as cool as you think. I’m taking Ari to play on it tomorrow. Hey, we’re up […]
