As if it isn’t bad enough that I can’t eat delicious, delicious Mini-Wheats due to their gelatin-containing (and my gelatin non-eating) ways, now they are tempting me with a free Indiana Jones “Adventure Spoon”. And I could really use an “Adventure Spoon” to liven up my breakfast, what with the no Mini-Wheats in my bowl. →Read more
Because impatience loves company
OMG, I just ordered the *coolest* new shirt. I can’t wait for all y’all to see it. Well, in truth, I *have* to wait. 11- 21 days, to be specific¹. But I’m sharing this info with you so that now you, too, can be thrilled with the anticipation of my new shirt. I promise that […] →Read more
Hello Aloe, My Old Friend
I may not have brought home the gold from hockey provincials, but I did bring home a lovely sunburn. Which, I suppose, is to be expected when one sits poolside from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in 30+ degree weather and has subpar sunscreen applying skills. You can actually see finger marks where I managed […] →Read more

How often do YOU wash your hair?
So I was at my hair stylist’s a little while ago getting my waaaaay overdue cut & colour (hello roots!) and my stylist was *shocked* when I said that I wash my hair everyday (“You wash your hair EVERY DAY???!!”). She was also appalled that I use cheap drug store shampoo instead of salon stuff […] →Read more
PM#12 – The Prime Minister from Compton
After doing some research, I conclude that Louis St. Laurent rivals Sir Arthur Meighen for the title of “Captain Boring.” For example, unlike Richard Bedford Bennett, none of St. Laurent’s online biographies refer to his penis. Before writing today’s post, I had this vague notion that Louis St. Laurent was one of the more exciting […] →Read more
