I decided to go with no sleeves-after knitting half of one-because it’s a hot summer already and this sweater will only fit for about 5 more minutes. I just need to weave in about 800 ends and it will be ready for wrapping paper. Next baby gets this sweater. Or this dress. And obviously it [...]
I went to Niagara Falls, NY on Thursday. My mom took me cross border shopping, it was great. Got some alsome scores at my beloved Target (I mean, 100 antihistamines for just over $4? Heck yes!) and we had lunch at a sweet restaurant called “Mom’s”. See? For Mother’s Day? Haha, right? The joke was [...]
Even though I have another week until I turn 38 (THIRTY-FUCKING-EIGHT-ZOMG!!!?!1) I’ve gotten lots of birthday love so far. Not just the most incredible (and apparently jealous making in some) car in the world, but a stunning necklace from Ashley. And some beautiful lamp work beads that I need to figure out what to do [...]
I’m still going to the gym three times a week. More or less. Or less. And according to Shannon I’m not pushing myself hard enough and that’s why I’m not getting any skinnier. I wonder how that can be, considering the sweat that happens and the sore legs/arms/body in general. I think I must need [...]
When I worked at Value Village my parents were dismayed to find out that the store does not wash anything before it’s put out on the floor for sale. “How come it all smells the same, then?” Asked my dad. Because when your stink mixes with thousands of different people’s stink, it all becomes one [...]
I refuse to ice skate. It’s totally different from roller skating and I just don’t do it. And thanks to Drew Barrymore, I begged for roller skates for xmas-and got them! I don’t know if I love these more than the Kindle, but it’s a close draw. And considering I haven’t really skated in about [...]
We’re getting ready to take off for a few days over xmas. Because we’ve taken so many trips in the last year, it’s become easier for me, I no longer make lists of what to bring-it’s second nature now. I also keep vacation stuff (passports, goggles, miniature toiletries) all together to keep things simple. The [...]
I’m in desperate need of new bras-or brars, as my boss calls them-and I’ve been on the hunt for the kind I like. But no, I am unable to find them. Here’s what I want: NO padding. No ‘light lining’, as it’s called at LaSenza. Just simple and preferably no under wire either. There’s nothing [...]
Winter, it seems, is finally here which means I’ve worn my new winter coat all of 3 times. It’s stunning, not just in appearance but in it’s warmth, a knee length down-filled coat is very cozy. Oh, so warm. I wore it to the grocery store this morning and actually had to take it off [...]
1. Pigeon! This one, again at Bathurst Station, was too pretty to ignore so I snapped her picture. She looked like she might be offering Lotto advice. This was across from the Jamaican patty bakery downstairs. 2. For Joanie: One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish pants. On Queen West, outside of CityTV. It’s [...]
