Living Creatively, Living the Dream
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…
I wrote a blog on Sunday worthy of a Pulitzer prize… or at least a pat on the back and an “atta-girl”! Unfortunately… it’ll never see print for various legal reasons… possibly libel, definitely defamation. I considered using the word “allegedly” throughout Continue reading Hippy holidays…
The power blew last evening just as the kids were leaving for the weekend. It’s like the energy was sucked out of the house the second they walked out the door. I was heading to a hockey fundraiser with a group of friends and was about Continue reading Powerless…
Monsters lived in my closet for many years…alligators under my bed. To sleep soundly, I never closed my eyes before closing the closet door. When I watched and fell in love with Disney’s “Monsters Inc.,” I realized they weren’t as bad as I’d originally thought. Boo Continue reading Bravely battling the beast…
Gib and I went out to for a quick little run to one of our favorite little strips. But you don’t strip there. Just thought I should clear the air on that one. We arrived before it opened… Gib and I are Continue reading Pain a la butt…
I know I’ve said it before. But I absolutely love it when you comment and send emails. It’s like opening a present… thrilling every single time (I really like presents too!) To this point… everyone has been kind and encouraging. Though Continue reading Why i write…
I’m cold. I keep turning up the heat but I can’t get my little feet to warm up. Technically size ten (possibly ten and a half) isn’t exactly considered “little”…but I use it as a term of endearment not a measurement of size. (I really like Continue reading Cold feet…
I turned each and every one of the 4,175 pages in the seven Harry Potter books. Like everything else I’ve read… I mostly forgot them. I remember vividly how Harry’s parents died (oh by the way his parents died) and I clearly remember the Continue reading A little bit harry…
Sometimes I put things on my “To Do List” that I’ve already done… just so I can cross them off! Human Nature is a funny thing. I’m content to sit in my house for days on end until the day I put Continue reading Less spastic more plastic….
With a two and a half hour drive ahead of me the other day… I hauled out a few CD’s I hadn’t listened to in years. I hit the play button with Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Jann Arden, Sarah McLachlan and Amanda Marshall Continue reading Let it rain…
I went ass over tea kettle at the kids’ school today. I hurt. It’s not my ego though. I gave up worrying about that thing a while back and really don’t give two shits about it anymore. But, my knee…my finger…my shoulder…a wrist Continue reading Hey lady! Have a nice trip…
It’s been two lovely nights by myself… relaxing. In a pretty little cottage by the beach. A few magazines… wine… crackers and cheese. The fireplace and music warming the room around me. I’ll do it again sometime. Just maybe without the Continue reading Life’s a beach…
I’m beyond waterlogged. My feet are puffy. There are deep wrinkles in my damp skin as if I’ve been relaxing in a bath for hours… without the relaxation. The weather isn’t showing signs of letting up. This rain has got to stop as Continue reading You brought ‘er you sail ‘er…
I enjoyed a great evening out with the funniest and most serious people all in the same night. If you ever get a chance to go to a live tnaping of “This Hour has 22 Minutes“… Go! First of all they serve Continue reading 22 Minutes…
It’s been raining non-stop for three days and I’m starting to feel a little haggard. On a good note… this blog continues to gain momentum and I’m making fans on an international level. (Not just because Little-One is in Dubai, my cousin Tina is in Singapore, Continue reading Queen’s VII’th Update…
Holy CRAP!!! Allen and Violet Large from Truro, Nova Scotia, won eleven million dollars… then gave it away! They’re sweet, kind, simple, country folk. They’ve everything they need in this world. They helped a few family members then gave the rest to charities Continue reading Living large…
“Ahhhh… honey… I just thought I should tell you… cause you might hear it on TV or from your friends… ahhhh… Demi Lovato is sick.” “Is she dying?” “No… she’s just really tired from all of the work she’s been Continue reading Demi Lovato…
Gentlemen… start your razors! In 2003, over a few beers in an Australian pub, a couple of friends decided to bring back the moustache! Not sure what they were thinking… but it worked! Last year, the Movember campaign worldwide raised $47 million Continue reading Stache for cash…
I’m entering a new Chapter in my life… and what better way than to blog about Chapters! An avid reader, I’ll read anything I can get my hands on. I absorb the book when I’m in it… then totally forget it Continue reading Queen picks…
There’s been a lot of talk among my friends about throwing me a “Divorce Party.” The ideas are great. A “divorce shower” to get back half the stuff I “lost.” Invitations that state “plus two” as you’re welcome to bring a significant other Continue reading Celebration…
