I cannot believe that 18 days have gone by since I left Vancouver for the holidays. In some ways, it seems like I just got to Toronto and now I’m heading back. But then I think about all the things that I did and can’t believe I haven’t been here for six months. As I’m […] →Read more
So December 29 seems like a pretty good time to steal this year-in-review type meme from Cath’s blog. The idea is to post the first line of the first blog posting of each month of the year (and the name of each month is a link to the full posting). But I’m not much of one […] →Read more
Since I live so far away and rarely get back to Ontario to visit the fam, when I do get to visit, I’m a rock star as far as my six-year-old niece is concerned. She insists on sitting next to me at every meal, she insists that I sleep with her every night and she follows me […] →Read more
I wrote this on my iPhone on the subway many, many days ago and then haven’t published it because I’ve been having way too much fun for such things as publishing blog postings. But now it’s Boxing Day and we are all so full from three days of non-stop eating that we can’t do anything […] →Read more
It’s Christmas Eve and my wee niece is trying to go to sleep, but how is a six-year-old supposed to sleep when SANTA IS COMING?? My sister and my dad are both upstairs with her right now, ostensibly trying to get her to go to sleep, but putting two Snows in a room with a […] →Read more
This might be the longest I’ve ever gone without blogging! I’ll write more about each of these things, but since I last blogged I have: gotten a haircut and colour with an awesome new stylist flown to Toronto spent time with my parents (for the first time in TWO YEARS), my sister, her bf and […] →Read more
Over on Cath’s blog, she picks her favourite comments every week for her “Bragging Rights Central.” Well, as it turns out, I’m in the running for “Comment of the Year” for the time I told the story of the cursed chocolate bar in response to one of her blog postings ((you can see my original […] →Read more
So I’ve got a few photos that I’ve taken recently thinking, “I need to blog that.” And then I haven’t. Backlog of photos to blog + not much time to blog = this blog posting. First up, a Christmas tree ornament I got from my Secret Santa. And I’d been wanting more ornaments for my […] →Read more
Sorry, I couldn’t resist that horrible play-on-words. Someone once gave me a “to do” list notepad that said “snow much to do” at the top and now I can’t even think the phrase, “I have so much to do” without that popping into my head. Anyway. I only have three working days ((where by “working […] →Read more
My sister is having a baby! w00t! I’ve been waiting to blog it until she and her bf had a chance to tell everyone they wanted to tell, but I’ve been *dying* to blog it since I found out because – I get to be an aunt again! Um, other than that, there’s not much […] →Read more
