Living Creatively, Living the Dream
The other morning I received a blackberry message saying my email wasn’t working and I needed to “validate my password”. Being the sceptic I am when anyone asks for my password, I waited until I got home to investigate the Continue reading Help line woes… (almost word for word with a bit of sarcasm thrown in!)
Two evenings at the Lower Deck has me thinkin’… I’m in a rut! Not that I don’t love it… I do. The music, the friendships, the laughter and silliness… but maybe it’s a bit much. I’ve turned into a regular Continue reading Cheers!
I was so sick of the mess it wasn’t even funny! Stuff everywhere. You know how it is…. simply too busy to empty the dishwasher so the next group of dishes begins piling on the counter and filling the sink… Continue reading Not so messy…
The news in Halifax yesterday was fabulous! NEW MEN ARE COMING TO OUR CITY! Yup! Over the next 30 years, the Irving owned Halifax Shipyard will be building ships… first expanding the shipyard and then, by 2013… cutting steel! That’s Continue reading Ships start here…
On Sunday I was somewhere between woofing my cookies and passing out. Bones, however, was in her glory. Perched on top of her favourite pony with a smile even brighter than the gleam in her eye…both of them…more than thrilled Continue reading Show time…
This weekend Spiderman had a hockey game in Canning… and being that the Annapolis Valley is known for its Pumpkin patches… we headed out early to take in a few adventures with The Tall Blond in tow as she was Continue reading Noggin’s farm…
Considering it’s Thanksgiving Weekend, I thought I’d take a moment to think of all the things I’m most thankful for… my family aside… as that’s a given. I’m thankful that for the last number of Thursday’s, Prada has helped haul Continue reading Giving thanks…
Where the heck did September go? It seems only yesterday we were enjoying Summer adventures and now, suddenly, it’s October! I’ve been so crazy busy that September didn’t have me writing too many posts… but regardless… here’s the 17th Queen’s Continue reading Queen’s 17th update…
Yesterday morning had me spraying every surface in my house with an anti-flea chemical and feeding my noble beast a pill disguised as a cheese slice… forcing the annoying varmint to jump from their warm cosy host onto the the Continue reading Flea Bag…
By the time I had a cup of tea at Uncommon Grounds and made purchases at both Carbonstock and Turbine Boutique for the Downtown Business Commission’s Big Day Downtown… I was left with 8 bucks on the prepaid $100 Visa Card and Continue reading Big Day Downtown… The Finale!
With a cup of tea out of the way, Mom and I continued our haunt of Downtown. Since it’s beginning, Bishops Landing has always been a favorite of mine… the restaurants, shops and entire atmosphere show a “Halifax” that’s vibrant Continue reading Big Day Downtown… Part Two
A few weeks ago I was asked to be part of Downtown Business Commission’s “Big Day Downtown – Try Something New!” Thirty bloggers… a hundred bucks each… and a chance to do something you’ve never done before in Downtown Halifax! Continue reading Big Day Downtown… Part One
I have NEVER wished for the weekend to come so desperately in my life… just so I can sleep in on Saturday morning. I’m exhausted. Seriously… how do you people do this everyday? I’m used to getting up at seven Continue reading Too pooped for my pants…
September 15th, four days after the terrorist attacks on the United States, I remained fixed in front of the television unable to fully comprehend what was in front of my eyes. The Tall Blonde was nine, Spiderman three…Bones just one. Continue reading 10 years later…
I fell in love with football around the same time I fell in love with the quarterback of the football team! All these years later I still like them both, one just a little more than the other! Yesterday, lured by Continue reading Shine a mama…
I was good right up until we approached the sign that said “ANTIGONISH 25 KM.” The Tall Blonde’s excitement was overwhelming and my heart, once again, was sinking. It’s been a long few weeks of wondering if she’d even be Continue reading Make you feel my love…
Just yesterday I turned 13. My girlfriends came for supper and we gathered around the dining room table for cake and presents. My parents gave me lilac coloured painter pants, a pair of pink skinny jeans and a t-shirt with Continue reading 13…
Bones and Spiderman are home! It’s been a chaotic two weeks… The Tall Blond losing her eyesight during the first one… and coming down with a nasty sore throat for the second! It’s probably a good thing “the littles” have Continue reading Orange you happy…
I sat in the parking lot making every effort to hold back the tears. I’ve said many times that this is going to be good for me…that the program I picked is the right one…but the idea of my life Continue reading My return to school as a “mature” student…
