Shocking, I know. My friend Therese is in town for her cousin’s kids baptism, so we met up for dinner (poutine at The Templeton) and shopping (for shoes, of course). First we went to the Aldo liquidation outlet on Granville and I found a super hot pair of red boots. Marked down to $70, plus […]
I have been remiss! I had a one month post-laser eye surgery check-up a full week and a half ago which I fully, totally, and completely meant to blog about and then I fully, totally, and completely didn’t. The reason my one month post-laser eye surgery check-up was blog worthy is… my vision has regressed! […]
I’m usually pretty terrible at naming things. But every once in a while a name for something just pops into my head, without the something to go along with it. Here are some blog posting titles that have landed in my brain, but without a blog posting to go with them: Dr. Bloglove – Or […]

Last night while staying up late to do some work, I noticed this cute little face staring in my kitchen window: (S)he’s much cuter without the glowing demon eyes, btw. And, if you can believe it, this kitty stayed outside my kitchen window, meowing, for several hours. Until I went to bed, in fact, and […]
I was doing a little light reading about Bill C-51, “An Act respecting foods, therapeutic products and cosmetic” and noticed this in the FAQ from the Government of Canada’s “Healthy Canadians” website: Mothers? Really? You couldn’t go with something more inclusive like “parents”? Fathers raise kids too, you know, and sometimes, they give them vitamin […]
My dad has a blog. And he even used “LOL.” This, from a man who used a Commodore 64 up until 2004, is pretty frickin’ amazing. My favourite Twitterer is Angry Rock. Angry Rock is, as her name suggests, an angry rock. An angry rock who tells you that she will smash you. Smash you […]
