Or… maybe this… Or… maybe I should just clean up the yard and put all the crap I threw off the deck yesterday back on the deck and put it all together again in the mis-matched no-one-uses-the-damn-table, the umbrella-has-mold-on-it, the tube lights have all Continue reading Or this…
I want this. For $899 I could walk into Home Depot and turn my little deck into a summer oasis… curling up on the love seat with a glass of wine and an awesome book. It requires assembly… so I need someone to put it Continue reading I want this…
I’ve recently been made aware that one of the most important characteristics of a cougar is their ability to accelerate quickly then pounce to catch their prey. They’re powerful, graceful and supremely adaptable…known as “stalk-and-ambush” predators. Men are needy and in the unfortunate event Continue reading Stalk and ambush…
Last year, Little-One and I met up with a few of her friends at a local restaurant for wine and lobster poutine! It truly was a lovely night… and quite possibly the first time I realized I had room in my heart Continue reading Pepper and Paint…
I can’t count! Last month I wrote the “Queens 13th update” but I somehow skipped the number twelve! I’ve never been great with math… evident from a lovely meal at Gib’s where her seven year old was pounding times tables at me Continue reading Queen’s 12th update…
My garden has been overrun with weeds, I don’t have one of those little rakes to bark up the mulch, there’s stuff growing in places I’m pretty sure stuff isn’t supposed to be growing and I’ve no gas in my mower Continue reading The grass isn’t always greener…
How awesome is this? I got a kick when I saw Beatrice and Eugenie at the wedding and commented how they looked just like Anastasia and Drizella but I never actually went to the book to see how much! Now Continue reading Fairy tales do come true…
When I prayed for this drought to end… this is not what I meant! We’re on day 22 of rain in Halifax and moss is beginning to grow behind my knees… not to mention my lawn. I’m popping Advil like Continue reading Out with the old….
Ever have one of those weekends so jam packed that Monday arrives and you’re torn between wanting it to continue and fighting the urge to crawl back to bed? It doesn’t help that I had a crappy sleep… waking in the middle of the night Continue reading Sweating the small stuff…
Quite unexpectedly I became a mother. And when I say unexpectedly, I’d a few months to get ready and was all too aware of the circumstances that found me shocked by my protruding and constantly moving belly…but I was younger than most. Continue reading Reflections on becoming a mom…
I’ve always been drawn to female singers. The thing is… I aspire to be like them. I picture myself secretly learning to play guitar and stepping onto the stage of a dimly lit, seedy, smoky, rum scented bar… blowing everyone away with my raw Continue reading Adele…
My girlfriend Ticker called me to tell me she loved my store and that she was buying a shirt. I laughed. We also talked about politics, religion and sex… but mostly that she was going to buy a shirt. That Continue reading A little t-shirt just for you…
Remember the Vees? Back in the eighties they were a force to be reckoned with. An AHL team based in Halifax from 1971 to 1984, the games were awesome… bringing much excitement to the city not to mention handsome hockey players on the streets of Continue reading Nova Scotia Voyageurs…
I have a store! I’m officially selling products to flog my blog! For those of you who tell me you pour yourself a cup of tea every morning and then sit back to read what I wrote… for you… a Continue reading Everyone has a story… I mean store!
My friend Dan, a member of the Halifax Progress Club, has asked me a few times through the years to attend the Big Spring Auction to benefit the Progress Center for Early Intervention. I’ve never attended… until last night. See… I’ve Continue reading Progress Club’s Big Spring Auction…
So… Friday Night I started to write a blog that turned out to be rather boring… but I wasn’t done editing and playing with it when Gib arrived to chit chat and throw a few more things in the vault. Then, after a Continue reading Oh dear no donair…
Yayyyyyyy!!!!! They’re married! I didn’t get up at 4am. Well I did, but I turned on the TV and then fell back to sleep waking up when the alarm went off at six… just as the first dignitaries arrived. Knowing I had Continue reading I will…
I embraced the idea of crocs long before most… then quickly changed my mind as their popularity grew to astonishing rates and I couldn’t see fit to wear the same shoes as a two year old! (Mind you… I’m never giving Continue reading Crocs…
