Sixth sense…
Last week, I didn’t totally believe my friend when he said he was sick and then he got REALLY sick and now I FEEL AWFUL! It’s just that I was busy with my own stuff and the thing is…he was Continue reading Sixth sense…

The Ugly Head…
“The Ugly Head” was first discovered while cleaning out a relative’s home. Made from a coconut from a vacation destination…with hanging shells for ears…its awful red lips and its beady little eyes peering into your soul…the story was told of Continue reading The Ugly Head…
Caring Court…
Mine was not the only marriage to fall apart on our little cul-de-sac. Around the same time, as in…the same day, my next door neighbours’ marriage bit the dust too. Our fabulous little street that was known for getting Continue reading Caring Court…
It’s a jungle out there…
Ever have one of those weekends where you’re left needing to kick yourself in the arse? Well…not so much Saturday…Saturday was actually a day where I got plenty accomplished but yesterday…well, maybe we should refer to it as “not-so-funday Sunday.” Continue reading It’s a jungle out there…
Fancy…
I’ve been blessed. I have amazing women in my life. When I lost all hope for friendship and love, it was my girlfriends who made me realize that without both…life would be meaningless. There was a time I believed I Continue reading Fancy…
The Drawing Room…My Home Office Reveal…
I was going to wait. The piece of art I’d ordered will be another two weeks and until that arrives, it won’t be quite complete. However, while picking up accessories at Homesense today I heard “shouldn’t you be home reupholstering Continue reading The Drawing Room…My Home Office Reveal…
Stick people family…
This week, both Prada and Crazy put those “stick people figures” on their SUV’s and I have to admit…I’m making fun of them. But maybe I’m bitter. Maybe it’s not that I think it’s lame to have a stick people Continue reading Stick people family…
Color me wonderful…
I did a personality test the other day and when finished, it said this: “You believe in yourself and others. You actively listen and give diplomatic feedback. You empathetically hear dreams. Magically, your strong beliefs make your wishes come true.” Continue reading Color me wonderful…
New beginnings…
I’ve started and abandoned three blog posts since Friday…when school ended. I’m torn. A little lost. Thrown for a loop with everything that’s before me and not because I didn’t see it coming…just because it’s here. Two years ago, I Continue reading New beginnings…
Fighting terrorism…
As a young girl…desperate for news of my friend while knowing there was no way he could have survived…I sat in front of the TV as a helicopter circled the Irish Sea. I stared, heartbroken, as a piece of plane’s Continue reading Fighting terrorism…
International Women’s Day…
I never believed in the “power of women.” Until I needed them. Until I was held together by the most remarkable group of girlfriends, cousins, mothers, aunts, sisters, daughters…I’ve ever known. Until one after the next, I heard from friends Continue reading International Women’s Day…
I <3 my trans friend...
Ever since I started school, my eyes have been opened to a lot of things I may otherwise never have known. Like, for example, the difference between RGB and CMYK, Tone and Impression, Leading and Kerning, Gay and Transgender. Oh… Continue reading I <3 my trans friend...
Vacation…
“You and the kids should come to Florida with us.” “You’re Crazy” I replied, time and time again. She even said it after our night in a hotel in Paris when I snored like a trucker. (Note: If you’re a Continue reading Vacation…
Ten ornaments on my tree…
I love my tree…the memories on it. Each year we’re reminded of stories and adventures as one ornament after the next is retrieved from their boxes. When The Tall Blonde was a baby, I started the Christmas Eve tradition of Continue reading Ten ornaments on my tree…
Par-tay…
How did the amp blow? Well… let’s back it up a bit. I’d invited a crap load of people knowing that when the actual day of the party arrived…folks would be tired and sick and too pooped from shopping, then Continue reading Par-tay…
“Mom and Girl” weekend…
It’s not like me to miss a hockey tournament. But, for reasons well beyond my control, I found myself home this weekend while Spiderman headed off with his team. Luckily, my friend Red kept me in stitches with one text Continue reading “Mom and Girl” weekend…
Out of the Cold…
A few years ago during the holidays, while heading to a lovely restaurant with friends, a man stepped from a downtown doorway and asked if we could “spare some change.” We made eye contact then he quickly stepped out of Continue reading Out of the Cold…
My friends are psycho…
I think my friends are psychic… or psycho…or a little of both. But this morning, in the midst of an “I can’t take this anymore breakdown” where one stupid thought after the next was popping in my head and I Continue reading My friends are psycho…
Mills Sisters…
Two pairs of dress pants, a pair of jeans, eight blouses, three sweaters and several necklaces. That’s what lay on my bedroom floor by the time I was done last night. I’m all about supporting my friends but couldn’t it Continue reading Mills Sisters…
The Lower Deck…
It hits you immediately on walking through the doors. The warmth. The Lower Deck has arrived in Clayton Park with all the charm of the one downtown! I’m not sure how they did it… how they instilled a sense of Continue reading The Lower Deck…
