Living Creatively, Living the Dream
Perez Hilton was just offered 20 million dollars to sell his blog and walk away… three other bloggers want to merge into his Internet address and keep it going… without Perez. It will be interesting to see if he goes for it. Twenty million is a whack of Continue reading Rags to riches…
It seems fitting that I write a “Queen’s Update” on May 24th! I explained to my children that even though it’s the celebration of the royal birthday… I understand that with Mother’s Day and my actual birthday at the end of Continue reading Queen’s Update (two)…
Drinking a glass of wine… checking out my online hotties… my neighbour drops over to ask if I’d like to play “Man Tracker” with her at the pond down the street. Hell yeah! What does she think I’ve been doin’ for the last Continue reading Man tracker…
A couple of girlfriends and myself headed to Durty Nelly’s (or Filthy Nancy’s as my brother so hilariously calls the place) for a plate of nachos, a couple of beer and some good ol’ blowing off steam… girl style! There’s a lot Continue reading Gettin’ durty…
Michael J. Fox should have been my prom date. I’m not sure what the fella’s name was that I went with… I asked someone from a different school that I hardly knew. The guy I really wanted to invite had broken my Continue reading Family ties…
Doing what I love… writing… has given me something amazing to look forward to each day. I’ve had great encouragement from family, friends and complete strangers. I’ve met some wonderful people and I’m discovering a whole new world that I’m so Continue reading Definately teasing susan…
The house is super quiet. Supper dishes are still on the counter from last night! I’m in a mis-matched pair of pyjamas and the polish from my last pedicure is rudely chipping from my toes. I’ve got bills to pay, groceries Continue reading It’s the little things…
One of my dearest friends blew out of town about nine months ago. An opportunity arose for her family to move to Dubai and they jumped at it. It scared the hell out of me. How was I going to move Continue reading Hot tin roof…
I took the kids to the Discovery Center for science adventures, fun and a kid’s afternoon (I’m not sure that I’ve ever used Science and Fun in the same sentence before!) We played with bubbles and mirrors and shadows… we messed with flexibility, Continue reading Toucan eat candy…
When kids are young, let’s face it…Mother’s Day is for them. They’re making crafts and cards at daycare and school. They’re all too thrilled to give you their painted hand print with the poem about dirty fingerprints left on the walls. They present you with Continue reading Ma…
I don’t really get this “love” thing. (The fact that my soon-to-be ex headed South this morning with his girlfriend might be part of the problem. Things have been heading south for awhile!) The love thing… well… I went to The Court for my son’s weekly Continue reading It’s a love thing…
There are days I want to hold my children closer…keep them safe…thank God for all he has given me and for all that we have. Days I’m so proud to be a Canadian. So thankful for the people who protect Continue reading Keep them safe…
For the first time in a long time I have all three floors of my house clean at the same time! Chances are it’s not going to last long. So if you want to drop by… please come soon! I Continue reading Odd socks…
Pretty girls… oooohhhhhs and aaaaaahhhhs… all looking like they belong on the tops of wedding cakes… colorful, delightful, happy, beautiful, wonderful wedding cakes. We headed to All Dressed Up today to pick up my daughter’s prom dress. A few months Continue reading Nowhere to go…
Two emails and a phone call this morning asking me where the “morning” blog is! Seems a lot of you have added it to your morning routine! WOW… and THANKS… I feel incredibly thankful and happy and pleased and thrilled Continue reading Floggin’ my bloggin’…..
For two days I’ve been struck down with the stomach flu. My trusty dog by my side… under my feet… twice tripping me as I’ve rushed to the washroom. She takes up all the room in my bed. Snoring rudely. Continue reading Noble beasts…
I bought a new coffee table this week. My old one left last summer. An antique trunk that was the most remarkable conversation piece… supposedly owned by a monk. Rescued from a backyard and brought back to life with sandpaper Continue reading Time for Lime…
Remember homemade pies the way your grandma made them? A big mound of meringue with coconut lightly toasted and sprinkled on top! My kids and I headed to The Valley today to visit an old friend. I’d heard about her Continue reading Living… simply living….
CAR!!! Yelled out at one point or another by every child on our street. Nothing is more exciting than forty kids playing. Having a blast on a sunny day with water balloons and squirt guns, basketballs and footballs, baseballs and Continue reading Let kids be kids…
Some days are just so damn long. I’m not sleeping well… got a lot on my mind. So… by the time I roll out of bed in the morning I’m usually already behind the eight ball. My youngest has crawled Continue reading Three cubs… one mama…
