An Explanation

It's been just over a year since I was last here. Several weeks ago, hubby pointed out the blogit charge on our credit card and asked if I was planning to return, or if we should cancel the subscription. I said I'd log in and cancel later in the week - I hadn't been here very long, wasn't deeply... Sign in to see full entry.

Alive and Well

I'm back! I must first apologize for such a long silence. The renovation turned out to be much more demanding than we'd planned (which is saying something, since we were expecting a rough job), but I will save the gory details for another day, when I have time to fill you in properly. For now, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Just a quick note: We've officially moved into our new house! Between moving and cleaning (both the old apartment and the new place) and trying to unpack, there simply hasn't been time for anything else. Renovations in the basement start on Saturday, and we're very excited for the demolition -... Sign in to see full entry.

Finally, some movement from the seller! Last week, we signed an amendment to change the possession date to August 23rd, after receiving confirmation that the tenant had found a new place to live. Yesterday, the seller finally signed - we officially get the house on the 23rd! Once the happy dance was... Sign in to see full entry.

She Cut Her Hair?!?!

I listen to the radio most mornings while driving to work. There are 2 very similar stations that I switch between - one of them usually is playing a song I enjoy. Both stations have a celebrity news spot. I've never heard any actual news stories (although I assume they are just playing it when I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

For Moms

I stumbled across this yesterday. Normally I don't share email jokes, but this one had me smiling all day. These are answers given by second grade students to various Mom related questions: What ingredients are mothers made of? 1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in...

The Flyer

Okay. I've got the flyer staring me in the face, so am going to jump right into things. A few days ago, mixed in with the usual pile of flyers and junk mail, I discovered a most unwelcome surprise. One one side, a picture of our local MP, Michelle Rempel. Right next to her is an image of a 24 week... Sign in to see full entry.

Unprepared to Post

A few days ago, I received a flyer in the mail. Normally, as I'm sure most people do, I glance at the junk mail before sending it flying into the recycling bin. This flyer, however, has been saved. Not because it's at all useful, or because I am interested in a product they're selling. I kept it... Sign in to see full entry.

Wedding Daze - Famous in Japan

I’ve seen wedding parties before, all over our city. There are a number of scenic parks quite popular for photo sessions. The zoo often plays host to weddings, and it’s not uncommon to see a bride and groom posing in the butterfly enclosure, or the amazing flower gardens. At the zoo, passers-by wave...

Goodness, how the time flies - has it really been four days since my last post?? My apologies for the mysterious silence. I wish I could tell you some thrilling tale to explain my absence: A hippo escaped and is rampaging through the city. We are under an alien invasion. They are peaceful, but have...
