No Wings, No Problems!

Mark and I went ice skating on Saturday afternoon, on a beautiful outdoor rink. I spent most of my youth and teen years with a pair of figure skates attached to my feet, training and competing. 98% of the time, I was in an enclosed arena, with perfectly smoothed man-made ice surfaces, and the...

Congratulations on being Born!

Today is Mark's birthday. He's taking it pretty well, considering he's 35, and now officially an "old man"! His mother called at about 6:15 this morning, to wish him a happy birthday. She could have waited until later in the day, but she wanted to call right around the time he was born (for the... Sign in to see full entry.

From living to sleeping in under 5 minutes

I was talking to my mother on the phone last night. At 9:30 pm, she informed me that she had to be in bed by 10, because she had to get up extra early this morning, so she had to go. "It's only 9:30, you've got plenty of time!" I said. It's not like we were talking about anything important, so it... Sign in to see full entry.

Give me the coffee, and no one will get hurt!

Mark and I are both coffee drinkers. Actually, we're more like coffee addicts. I only drink 2 cups a day, and only in the morning. But heaven help you if you're standing between me and that cup of rich, brown, liquid delight. 2 weeks ago, we ran out of coffee. I stopped at the local 7-11, because it...

Biscuits from Heaven

I learned to bake from my mother's mother - my Nanny. She lived in Prince Edward Island her whole life, first on a farm, and then in a small town. She came from the generation where they made everything from scratch. None of those pre-mixed packages for muffins, cookies, breads or pies. Going to... Sign in to see full entry.

Putting my Finger on Problems, and Hating the Solutions

Something has been nagging at me for a couple of days now. It's one of those thoughts that haunts you, hiding out in the recesses of your darkest mind, flickering in and out of conscious thought like a shadow. I took a shower this evening, just because I wanted to. Standing in the rushing water, I... Sign in to see full entry.

New Pictures, Fresh Veggies, and a Warm Blanket

Mark and I finally got paid yesterday, which meant it was time for another trip to the dreaded grocery store. I seriously considered putting it off, but forced myself to go early yesterday afternoon. Boy, am I ever glad I did - it started snowing last night, and it hasn't let up yet. If I hadn't... Sign in to see full entry.

A 14-Year-Old Beacon of Hope

I don't have kids, but that doesn't stop me noticing that a lot of them are...well...less than responsible. Especially pre-teens and teens. Now, I'm not saying they're all bad - I've met my fair share of really great young people. But I think it would be accurate to say that there are just as many... Sign in to see full entry.

Early Morning Wakeup

Mark has one of those Mike phones, with the walkie-talkie function. The company gave it to him, and he uses it all the time for work, especially when he's on call for the weekend, or in the evenings. The radio/phone went off this morning at 6:15 am. It was one of the guys from work, checking to see... Sign in to see full entry.

The Day When Nothing Got Done

We're not going chair shopping today. Mark's busy working on something in the garage - I don't know what, but he seemed pretty intense about it. That means we're not going to the animal shelter either. I couldn't get a hold of the women's emergency shelter, so no one will be coming to pick up my old... Sign in to see full entry.
