Bouquet Radiante…
A year and a half ago, when my friend Maria came to my door with a huge canvas, painted by her father, I didn’t know how to begin to thank her. It was a gift for the future…for happier days. Every Continue reading Bouquet Radiante…

Life is good…
Life feels different divorced. Not sure what it is… maybe just my head space but last night I felt like a totally different person… lighter… happier… a mood unlike any I’ve had in a long time. For the first time in forever Continue reading Life is good…

Dear friends of Curtains are Open: I require your assistance to distribute 2,297,530 posters on the utility poles throughout the Halifax area. I will supply the posters… and the packing tape to ensure they stay securely attached to the poles. Continue reading In need of your assistance…
Lost cat…
This online dating site is messing with me! Thing is… it didn’t work. I sent smiles to folks who I thought had interesting profiles (and let’s face it were good looking) and on the odd occasion I got a smile in Continue reading Lost cat…
They said coyote not cougar…
The other day I got an email from friend in reference to Coyote sightings in the neighbourhood this last few weeks. Following that email I received another… “FYI stay tuned for a similar alert regarding Cougar sightings in the ‘hood” the message said. She Continue reading They said coyote not cougar…
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…
It’s a new year….
I could say a lot to sum up this year but rather than typing a big ol’ “What I did in 2010” post, I thought I’d say it through Facebook status updates (or at least a small portion of them!) The Continue reading It’s a new year….
You’re a cow… go lick yourself! I mean… Happy New Year.
Lara Debruyn Photography Two thousand and ten is coming to an end and while I really don’t want to whine about it… I’m desperately happy it’s almost behind me. It seems like everything I’ve done this year was accomplished with much struggle and Continue reading You’re a cow… go lick yourself! I mean… Happy New Year.
Finding mr. wonderful…
I didn’t open my online dating site for a few weeks so this week, with a bit of extra time on my hands, I logged in and fired around a few “smiles” to a few frogs who caught my attention. Online dating is Continue reading Finding mr. wonderful…
Feelin’ naughty…
Dear Santa: I’ve been a really good girl but the problem is…. I’m really not interested in being good anymore. I’m trying my best to keep my inside voice in but there’s stuff trying to blurt out of me… and oddly enough… a whole lot of insane Continue reading Feelin’ naughty…
Go fly some butter…
Let me paraphrase an online conversation I had last night with a gentleman who claims to be quite lovely, rather funny and tall! He captured my attention with a tag line suggesting he “delivered butterflies” and it had me wondering Continue reading Go fly some butter…
Plans for thursday night…
Plan A… I didn’t have kids last night so I thought I’d find a friend to go out with but as it turns out everyone I know actually had stuff to do! Problem is a few of you don’t believe Thursday is Continue reading Plans for thursday night…
Hippy holidays…
I wrote a blog on Sunday worthy of a Pulitzer prize… or at least a pat on the back and an “atta-girl”! Unfortunately… it’ll never see print for various legal reasons… possibly libel, definitely defamation. I considered using the word “allegedly” throughout Continue reading Hippy holidays…
Hey lady! Have a nice trip…
I went ass over tea kettle at the kids’ school today. I hurt. It’s not my ego though. I gave up worrying about that thing a while back and really don’t give two shits about it anymore. But, my knee…my finger…my shoulder…a wrist Continue reading Hey lady! Have a nice trip…
You brought ‘er you sail ‘er…
I’m beyond waterlogged. My feet are puffy. There are deep wrinkles in my damp skin as if I’ve been relaxing in a bath for hours… without the relaxation. The weather isn’t showing signs of letting up. This rain has got to stop as Continue reading You brought ‘er you sail ‘er…
Celebration…
There’s been a lot of talk among my friends about throwing me a “Divorce Party.” The ideas are great. A “divorce shower” to get back half the stuff I “lost.” Invitations that state “plus two” as you’re welcome to bring a significant other Continue reading Celebration…
Enough with fools in tinfoil…
My girlfriend, C.A., went through a divorce about a year before her 40th birthday. It was what she wanted, yet her pain ran deep. Something I never truly understood…until my own. When her birthday rolled around, her dream of going to New York was in the Continue reading Enough with fools in tinfoil…
Plenty of fish…
Dating sucks. Not that I know…but I can tell! So far I’m refusing to add my dating criteria to “Plenty of Fish”… even though I keep herring there’s plenty out there! Get it…herring! Something about sticking my picture on a Continue reading Plenty of fish…
When it rains…
I suffered with panic attacks for a long time. And if you’ve ever had a panic attack… you understand what I mean by suffering. It’s about control… or lack of it… and fear. Crushing, brutal, fear. At the moment, I’m somewhere Continue reading When it rains…
Motel maid…
Dear people who live in my house: And let me start by saying it’s MY HOUSE! The fact that you have a room, decorated to your liking with posters I didn’t ask you to staple to the wall and a “Keep Continue reading Motel maid…
