Living Creatively, Living the Dream
Still very much in love after a year of wedded bliss, Jill Barber stepped onto the stage last night to perform one romantic song after the next to a tent-full of people unable to wipe the smiles off their faces. I’d had Continue reading Oh my my…
I really don’t like it when I’m excluded from a party and last night proved it! Upon arriving at Durty Nelly’s I immediately heard the amazing and talented voices of Paul Lamb and Cory Tetford coming from the back of the pub! Continue reading The curtains are closed…
By the time I’d packed snacks, tried on two unflattering bathing suits, drove The Tall Blond to work, emptied the dishwasher, threw on a load of laundry and stopped two fights between Bones and Spiderman… threatening to put an end to Continue reading Beaver… dam…
Last night was another epic night of fun and laughter with the fabulous music of Lamb and Tetford at the Lower Deck! We arrived at five…ordered a few beer and a bite of supper to begin a night of rebel rousing and foolishness. Crazy and Continue reading My friends are crazy… period.
It’s Girl’s Weekend Away and you know what that means… plenty of laughter, wine, relaxation, good food and complete and utter foolishness! If you’re looking for me… I’ll be walking along the beach, collecting sea glass, digging my toes in the sand and Continue reading Gone to the beach…
With the exception of one tiny glitch…which actually did a pretty good job putting a damper on my day…I had a fabulous birthday. The morning started with my “Birthday Basket”…a tradition between half a dozen friends on the street who put together a basket Continue reading My swell birthday…
My birthday is Tuesday so last night brought a group of people out to begin the week long celebrations! What? Can’t a girl celebrate for an entire week? We started at the Lower Deck enjoying another wonderful evening of Paul Lamb Continue reading They herd…
Tonight is “Italian Dinner Club” and while I was unsuccessful in finding a single, hot, Italian to take as my date, I plan on deciding by the end of the day what I’ll bring as an appetizer! If and when I get my car Continue reading Light Italian…
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…
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…
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…
I place sentimental attachment on almost everything and often find myself thinking about the meaning behind something more than the actual thing itself. Quite some time ago the garbage collectors came to pick up the old, worn out couch. I stood in the window with tears streaming down Continue reading Getting comfy…
Three of my high school friends are healthy and active due to the life saving and extraordinary gift of others. Tonight, I stood in the stands and watched a fantastic game of action packed hockey. The crowd of family and friends cheered Continue reading Game of a lifetime…
So last night we…. well… and then…. ummmmm… it’s just that I promised I wouldn’t say….. ummmm…. well…. it’s not like we did anything we shouldn’t have it’s just that…. damn… there’s really not a lot I can tell you to Continue reading ‘Cause that’s how I bowl….
Looking out my dirt streaked window this morning you kind of get a sense that Spring is on its way! I can’t quite feel it at the moment as I’m happily going about my days pretending that “since I can’t smell dog crap Continue reading And that’s why I need a unicorn…
Two years ago, soon after my marriage failed, a neighbour from a few streets over pulled into my driveway, waved me into the passenger seat of his car and proceeded to tell me about his battle with Cancer. Doug’s story is much like anyone Continue reading Doug DeLory…
OK… so the other night I was downtown and I was introduced to a friend of a friend as “this is Queen… the one who writes the blog” and next thing you know she buys me a beer! HOLY CRAP! I’m writing Continue reading You’re welcome…
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 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…
