January: January started off the shits with regular work-inspired panic attacks, sleeplessness, anxiety, etc. I discovered the joy that is wearing sweatpants. Peter and I decided to start thinking about shopping for a...
Christmas was wonderful this year. Zero drama, lots of board games, 5,000 extra calories per day, and enough booze to float a barge. And now it's over, and I've been in a steady...
The past few weeks have been a mega-emotional, sleep-deprived sprint to the end of the year fueled by caffeine, alcohol, and apparently, based on the volume of tears shed, hormones. Every minute has...
1. Dogs do not go to university. Fun fact: if you have a baby today, the projected cost of his or her tuition at a public university for four years is $257,113 (a...
When I was a little 'un, I loved me some Kraft Dinner. I demanded it for every meal. The way my parents tell it, I sometimes ate it for lunch and supper for...
I have been listening to the 24/7 Christmas music radio channel for a week now, in the car, at work, at home, everywhere I go. This means I have heard every Christmas song...
Today's Ten on Tuesday questions can be found here!1. What is your favorite kind of cheese?I have to pick just one? But...but I don't want to hurt the others' feelings. I love my...
I have been reading Reverb 10 posts on a lot of blogs since December began, half wishing I was participating and half secretly grateful I hadn't signed up for yet another venture that...
...these are a few of my favourite things.[+] a thin-crust cheese pizza and a (big) glass of red wine after a long day at work[+] A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Grinch (the old...
My shopping habits have changed dramatically since we moved to suburbia extraordinaire in July, and by 'changed', I mean 'disappeared'. Gone are the days of leaving our apartment building and walking for less...
It's Ten on Tuesday time! This excites me because I'm not sure if I have enough fodder for a post today. I considered writing about the following things: -the fact that my grocery...
It's been less than a week and we're all still adjusting to life with a dog - the dog is adjusting too. He went from shy, meek, mild little shadow to hellion extraordinaire...
This is my first time ever completing the Ten on Tuesday, as seen on Chelsea's Roots and Rings blog. It's no secret that I love any kind of themed weekly post. Friday Fives,...
This was the best weekend ever for many reasons. There was a Christmas parade, holiday lattes, a delicious Italian dinner out, 4-wheeling, and snow. Best of all? We added a new puppy to...
This morning, I was running around getting ready for the day as I always do, making my lunch, getting my face on, et cetera. My skirt was wrinkly so I threw it in...
So my NaBloPoMo goal has fallen by the wayside. Things went off the rails on Saturday, which was the day of my cousin's wedding, and performing my bridesmaidly duties trumped the ol' blog....
You guys, NaBloPoMo is HARRRRD this year. There is just so much non-bloggy stuff going on and it feels like every night it's 11:00 and I'm all "fiiiiiiiiiiiinally, time for bed. Honk-choo" and...
Today was Remembrance Day and I'm a bit appalled and embarrassed at the way I didn't do anything - absolutely nothing - to recognize it. My 'remembering' was limited to a few moments...
I try to be honest with what I share on my blog. At least, I make a conscious effort not to be dishonest. I think there are different degrees of honesty. There's honest...
...so I'm dialing it in today, and you get the newest Keenan Cahill YouTube video - this time with a special guest. I love this kid. He's my favourite YouTuber and he's probably...
Because you're never too old to be a greedy child. [+] magazine subscriptions: Glamour, Real Simple, Women's Health...it's the gift that keeps on giving all year long![+] a charm for my Pandora bracelet[+]...
Well, apparently someone was reading my post a few days ago about three selfish wishes, particularly my third wish for more hours in the day. Lo and behold, when I woke up this...
This November, I'm participating in the 30 for 30 challenge, inspired by the lovely Kendi at Kendi Everyday. The idea is that for 30 days, you use 30 pieces of clothing you already...
The good:-it's Friday-I have lots of fun weekend plans to look forward to - breakfast out with hubby tomorrow at our favourite cafe, bachelorette party tomorrow night for my cousin, and a full...
I'm sitting here, watching Gossip Girl season 2, writer's blocked to the max, and reminiscing on Serena's consistently shitty taste in guys as my iPod updates, when I stumbled across Liz's recent post...
[via]1. I wish I could eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, and never worry about it. Not obsessing over food would be nice. I wouldn't even gorge and overdo it - just...
I hate not being prepared, not feeling ready for things. I am the kind of person who prefers to drive to the client meeting alone in order to have that solo time in...
So it's NOvember again (that was not a typo, friends. Stay with me) and it's time to batten down the hatches and get shit in order up in this ma. The fun and...
So, we've talked about it, weighed the pros and cons, debated about whether we're ready, and figured that we'll never be 100% ready - it's a "figure it out as you go" thing....
Halloween used to be one of my favourite holidays. What's not to love about dressing up so you're unrecognizable and going around the neighbourhood bumming junk food? I'll tell you what's not to...
It's that time of year. The evenings are getting darker, earlier and earlier. The mornings are also dark - and cold enough to freeze the proverbial nuts off a brass monkey. Terms like...
On the weekend, Peter and I celebrated our first anniversary with a trip to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, with a stint on Route 66 in between. It was a surprise to...
