Living Creatively, Living the Dream
Since May, I’ve been an active participant in my life. The two and a half years before that, I let my life happen…going through the motions…not really wanting to take part in any of it but not having much of a Continue reading Get to what’s real…
I’ve been driving this car for O’Regan’s for a few weeks now and I have to admit… I’m quite smitten with it. Besides the adorability factor of the Sonic… it’s a treat in a parking lot and with the packed Continue reading Chevy Sonic…
Last night I lay in bed wondering how I was going to pull off getting home from Dartmouth in a snow storm when chances are, school would be cancelled for the children by lunch time. Luckily I have my winter Continue reading Snow day…
I knew Bones had been working on an “Animal Adaptation” project on Cougars! However, being that it was an “in class project”, she hadn’t brought home her work and was happily going about putting together her PowerPoint project… telling me Continue reading Animal adaptations…
The other morning I received a blackberry message saying my email wasn’t working and I needed to “validate my password”. Being the sceptic I am when anyone asks for my password, I waited until I got home to investigate the Continue reading Help line woes… (almost word for word with a bit of sarcasm thrown in!)
When Spiderman says we’re out of groceries… what he really means is we’re out of sour cream and shredded cheese. The boy eats A LOT of cheesy nachos with globs of sour cream so much so that he’s growing a Continue reading Movember… again…
I’ve been driving this brand new, 2012 Chevrolet Sonic… otherwise known as “The Pumpkin”… for about a week now. So far… I’m loving it! Well… not in the “I’m definitely buying one” kind of loving it because the fact is, Continue reading Sonic… post 2…
Two evenings at the Lower Deck has me thinkin’… I’m in a rut! Not that I don’t love it… I do. The music, the friendships, the laughter and silliness… but maybe it’s a bit much. I’ve turned into a regular Continue reading Cheers!
I was so sick of the mess it wasn’t even funny! Stuff everywhere. You know how it is…. simply too busy to empty the dishwasher so the next group of dishes begins piling on the counter and filling the sink… Continue reading Not so messy…
My life is about to change! I can feel it… the signs are there. Yesterday when I arrived home, O’Regan’s had replaced their fancy GM Orlando with the most adorable car I’ve ever seen… an orange GM Sonic the children Continue reading Bippity, boppity, boo…
I took a week off… not because I didn’t have anything to write… in fact, I’ve started four posts this week. More because, well to be honest, there’s been nothing worthy of posting! In fact, I’m full of crap (not the Continue reading Lost my mojo…
Some folks drive through Tim Horton’s to get their much needed and beloved cup of coffee…me…I go for my tea…and the garbage receptacles! Don’t get me wrong, I love a drive thru cup of tea on my way to the Continue reading Tim who?
I sooo don’t want to give this car back… yet, at the same time, I totally feel like I’m cheating on my Malibu!!! Almost two weeks ago I arrived home to find a shiny new GM Orlando sitting in my Continue reading Review of the Orlando…
Lately, when I come in here, I feel like all I do is complain which is ironic as I’m greatly enjoying my life and to be honest, can’t remember a time when it’s been so full. Which is the problem. Continue reading Wah wah wah…..
What’s this world coming to when I turn down a day of shopping? While I clearly could have done with the outing, I’m trying hard not to over schedule myself… what with the blog, school, kids, housework, hockey, homework, riding Continue reading Shopping bag…
The horn works!!! Thing is… the one thing I really dislike about the 2012 GM Orlando I’m driving is it’s not mine! With that… I worry that something could happen while it’s on my watch! It’s new and shiny and Continue reading Orlando… blog two…
I’m driving to Orlando with my kids this week! Everything is planned. We’ll pick The Tall Blond up on the way, stay on site for a few days then relax at Crazy’s house in Kissimmee! We’ll swim, take in a Continue reading Driving to Orlando…
The news in Halifax yesterday was fabulous! NEW MEN ARE COMING TO OUR CITY! Yup! Over the next 30 years, the Irving owned Halifax Shipyard will be building ships… first expanding the shipyard and then, by 2013… cutting steel! That’s Continue reading Ships start here…
Yesterday I drew a rocket ship! I admit… it wasn’t the best rocket… in fact… not even close. However, considering I’m totally new to Adobe Illustrator and am not exactly great at drawing on paper let alone on the computer… Continue reading Blast off…
On Sunday I was somewhere between woofing my cookies and passing out. Bones, however, was in her glory. Perched on top of her favourite pony with a smile even brighter than the gleam in her eye…both of them…more than thrilled Continue reading Show time…
