How Did He Know?
How did my husband know that I was going to get back to my “serious” writing? Well it was probably when I came home with a box of wooden Staedtler “norica” pencils ($2.19 at Staples). He even found my Canadian thesaurus for me, in the girls bookshelf. How did I know that I wasn’t going to get much...

Azur Asked Why, and The Answer is I Don’t Know…
I've decided to delete two of my blogs in an effort to focus my time and energy on my “real world” writing. Azur left a comment that was just “why?” Do I have to delete my blogs to concentrate on my other writing? Will deleting them serve any purpose other than just to free up space on the old...

If You Go Down To The Woods Today You're In For A Big Surprise
It was Teddy Bear Picnic Day today at the preschool. Rachel took her “teddy” with her to school. He was certainly the oldest bear there. Teddy was the last stuffed animal that I ever got. My older brother gave him to me on my eighteenth birthday, with a note that reminded me that all the great...

Well Thank God That Is Over... For Now.
I stayed up last night watching the results come in for the Federal Election. We have another minority government which may just mean that we are back at the polls a lot quicker than anyone would like. I do follow politics, but not rabidly. I suspect I know more than the average citizen, which...

Me, Me, Me, Me....
That's right it's all about me. I'm not sure if this is blatant self-promotion or not, but I really am enjoying writing my travel blog, With A Maple Leaf on My Backpack. I'm not sure if it is that actual writing, or if it is flipping through the photo album and reminiscing about a time in my life...

Breaking Even....
Well, I am, at this point of the month breaking even on Blogit. I have made what I spent. Of course that means that every penny after this is profit. How exciting – I may have enough for a coffee by the end of next month! (OKAY - I'll write a real post later... I promise)

You Mean This Is As Good As It Gets?
Wednesday night is running class. The moms get together and run, at the whim of our insanely cruel trainer, and we talk while we are taking breaks or stretching. Of course we gossip about people we know, who aren't there, and we complain about our kids and husbands. It's kind of like therapy, but...

I Hate The Fact That I Let Them Take This From Me.
I'm making bread today. I wrote a blog a long time ago about how much I love to bake bread, how it reminds me of my childhood and spending time with my grandmother. I love the smell of rising dough and the way I anticipate the loaves coming out of the oven, and that first slice, still hot with...

OW, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow... Why Do I Do This To Myself?
I woke up this morning, slowly, feeling a little feverish. Then I rolled over and stood up, and promptly sat back down again. Holy Crap! My legs and butt hurt! So I sucked in a deep breath and... Jumpin Jaysus! My ribs and stomach hurt too! I felt like I had just been in a car accident – when in...
