Little-One…
When all hell broke loose, she climbed inside me. I’m not sure how it happened but I do know when. I was on the floor… in a ball, turned inside out… not willing to unfold myself. She got down next to me Continue reading Little-One…

Girls night out…
I could go anywhere with my girlfriends and have a great time but to be honest, getting a bill for $88 on a meal where our pretty but distracted waitress missed the boat several times…not checking in on our table and asking if we’d like more Continue reading Girls night out…

Snow devils…
As a kid there was nothing better than a snow day. Playing outside with your neighbourhood friends until your fingers were so cold you thought they’d crack. Unable to take it anymore you’d head into the house where your mom would kiss your Continue reading Snow devils…
Snow angels…
There’s nothing better than a snow day! As a child, I can remember the thrill of waking up in the morning to discover that school was cancelled. The snow knee high or deeper… and all of your friends in the mood to play. Continue reading Snow angels…
Do not call…
What the hell is going on with the telemarketing calls I’m getting lately? I haven’t had this many for as long as I can remember which makes me think my name has gotten on some crap list somewhere. There’s Bell… phoning me to Continue reading Do not call…
They said coyote not cougar…

Rescue dog…
My dog was a rescue dog. Not in the sense that she was found tied to a tree with the rope dug into her neck requiring various surgeries to repair her emaciated self that you had no idea she was all ribs Continue reading Rescue dog…

Year two…
It’s one of those days where I’m torn between my past and future. Anniversary’s do that and yet, marking a bad day as an anniversary hardly seems the right thing to do… but we do. We remember negative dates… the Air India Disaster, 9/11, John Kennedy’s Assassination, the Challenger Continue reading Year two…
