Such a teeny little muffin, I was instantly in love. Of course she didn’t cry and she didn’t poop. That makes for a good baby visit in my books. You can tell by the bulging vein on my forehead that I am completely chuffed. I can not WAIT to be on shower duty (as in, [...]
It’s looking better although it’s got a long way to go before I’ll feel normal. It actually reminds me of my childhood, was there a time when I didn’t have some major scab action happening? Shannon can’t see the bruising irl but I sure can. No, I didn’t fiddle the colour in this picture, just [...]
I met up with the glorious and free Ms Duncan today for some hot protest action. It’s so rare that we see each other so it’s always a delight, especially when she brings along little miss MangO. Which I found out is not pronounced like the fruit, it’s more like how you’d say ‘mang’ and [...]
Vagoo. It just sounds funny. And it’s a pretty darn funny thing to spray paint on a building. This is the building formerly known as The Big Bop, corner of Queen St W and Bathurst.
It was exciting, at Ikea the other day, to see new balls being delivered to the ballroom. An old friend of mine worked in the kid’s zone at Ikea a number of years ago and told stories about children too excited about the balls to bother getting out to go to the washroom so finding [...]
I got it in my head that I needed to start a new project, and as I have made at least a dozen hats in the last few months, I decided to make a scarf. Now, I have a bunch of scarves, most of them are very wintery, thick, long, good for wrapping several times [...]
It’s true. And I am such a softy that I got all choked up in the cemetery reading people’s letters to their departed loved ones.
I inherited my grandmother’s good china, from her first wedding (?) a while ago, and I wish I had some real use for it. I’d always been told it was “Mother’s Aynsley”, and assumed that was true, but upon unpacking it all today, out of curiosity, I realized that was incorrect. Some if it is [...]
We went to meet New Georges the other day. AKA Little Georges, AKA P’tit Georges. He’s very cute. I always forget how teensy beensy new babies are. His skin is dry and wrinkly, which is a symptom of being 9 days overdue: All the liquid he had been swimming in had run out, leaving him [...]
I can’t believe I am starting yet another online diary. This has to be my 10th, at least. It’s shocking. Of course, I haven’t stayed up to date on any of them, eventually my interest fizzles out…or I get booted from them, haha. Hopefully this one lasts a bit longer than the others. Seamus and [...]
