Fortunately for me, I’ll take 9 degrees and rainy1 over -11 degrees and sunny any day! 1I’m not sure how this is possible, but I just noticed that I didn’t have a tag for “rain” on my blog2. How, exactly, one could blog for 2.5 years from the city of Vancouver *without* having a tag […]
Happy New Year’s all y’all. My New Year’s was rung in in low key fashion, having caught some sort of nasty virus from, no doubt, germy Ontarians on my flight home to Vancouver. I’m sitting in bed, about to go off to dreamland, but *had* to blog today because I’ve decided to make the same […]
My sister’s cat, Monkey, died yesterday. This is a picture of Monkey from better days. She never much liked anyone other than my sister and my niece, but one time I tricked her into thinking I was my sister and she let me pet her. She will be missed. Rest in peace, little Monkey.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster wishes you all a Happy Holiday! My sister’s boyfriend, Jeff, made this for me. Apparently they came up with this idea a year ago and have been giddy with excitement about making it for me ever since. So. Friggin. Cool.
Merry Christmas, gentle blog readers. I hope Santa brings y’all something awesome for Christmas.
Did I ever mention that my niece is the most brilliant, most adorable child ever to walk the face of the Earth? Last night she told me a story. “Once up on a time there was a little girl named Aunt Beth and she had blue eyes and a black and silver shiny necklace. And […]
