Living Creatively, Living the Dream
Just before I do my monthly “Queen’s Update” I copy and paste the previous months’ posts into a document and back the whole thing up. The document is currently 437 pages… leading me to believe I’m making a run for the 1463 pages of “War Continue reading Queen’s 9th Update…
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…
I practically had to drag the kids out of bed yesterday… taking various abusive rantings about how I never have the right breakfast foods followed by the “I’m not feeling well” excuses to stay curled up for one last holiday day. Continue reading It’s a new day…
A number of years back my Nan knit me an afghan… one of those traditional blankets crocheted using bits and pieces of leftover wool and outlined in black. I love it. It resides on the side of my couch and Continue reading Yarn bombing…
The hoopla is over and I’m left with a whack of things that need to find their way back to various rooms, laundry as far as the eye can see, tree guts all over the floor and a kitchen counter that can’t Continue reading Happy holidays…
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….
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.
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…
The day she was born I knew an angel had come into my life. I couldn’t stop admiring her precious features. The grasp of her tiny hand to mine. I spent the first night staring at this little being. My little being. I’ve thought Continue reading Angel…
Christmas has always been about waiting. Waiting for Santa’s reveal. Waiting to open presents. Waiting for the arrival of friends and family. Waiting for each little square of the advent calendar to open before the big day is here. When we’re younger…the wait Continue reading Operation pause for the claus…
Swipe to the left. No… the other left. Towards me. No the other way. Is that a chip card? Good Lord why hasn’t someone invented a machine that accepts the debit card either way? And seriously… don’t bother watching me. I’ll swipe my card and Continue reading Swipe the other way…
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…
“Would you like to donate a buck to Kids-Who-Need-Your-Money Ma’am….” Did he say buck? Hell…. did he say Ma’am? Am I missing something? Just yesterday I was walking through the halls of Halifax West High School throwing insults at the girls Continue reading Register this…
With the season upon us I’m having a difficult time getting things done let alone keeping up on my blog! (Serious apologies for those who read every day but consider it my way of giving you extra time to shop!) We’ve two Continue reading Queen’s 8th update…
Do you know I’ve started seven different posts? Seven boring, horrible, whiny, BLAH, posts about absolutely nothing. I’ve hit a complete block. In the meantime, while that’s going on… I’ve two trees up, presents purchased. and wrapped, items checked off my to do list, tv shows watched Continue reading Qwoppin’ out…
I have a great desire to find a wholesale bubble wrap distributor and wrap my children in layer upon layer of the regularly spaced, protruding, air-filled hemispheres providing extra cushioning for my precious and breakable treasures. Just imagine the sound of a Continue reading House of gimps…
Dear Mr. Sweetandfunny: Just wanted you to know that my pics are FANTASTIC. I’m smiling, happy and beautiful in every single one of them especially the one with me, Gib, Crazy and Prada. Hell… I’d date me just for the fabulous women who Continue reading Picture this…
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…
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…
My son knows that if he’s hurt on the ice…he’s to make his way to the bench. I know…if he stays down…it’s bad. He’s never stayed down…until Sunday. Hit from behind during a pileup in the crease and dropped to Continue reading Number seven…
