I think that men are funnier than women. It pains me to say this, but I think it is the truth. Now, I know some very funny women, and also make myself laugh on a pretty regular basis, but on a professional, public level I have to give men the edge. My theory is that […]
I’ll show you scandalous.
This week I bought a box of Lucerne’s “Scandalous Cookie” ice cream. Buying ice cream is no easy task for me. I am not the biggest ice cream fan, but it is one of Carl’s evening staples, so I try to buy it once a month or so and when I do buy it I […]
Louvre me, louvre me not
I got a pedicure in my favorite colour ever. I didn’t know my favourite colour was called Louvre me, louvre me not. When I worked at the paint store for all those wonderful, fume-y years I wanted to be the person who named paint colours. Now I want to name nail polish colours. Goals change. […]
I feel I need to explain myself…
I’ve been getting some hating since starting this blog for my apparent ability to eat all things from chocolate to pasta in great proportions, and I feel it is time to share the truth and my personal “diet plan”. First of all, I wasn’t always as thin as I am now. In fact, in my […]
Getting ready for summer
There are a lot of things one can do to get ready for summer…tone up those abs to washboard shape for bikini season, give the house a deep clean, bleach your hair and go tanning so you look ahead of the game…. Having done all those things already (ha), I turned to other important preparatory […]
A poem
My mom passed on this beautiful poem to me and my sister to remind us, when life gets busy, frustrating, tedious, etc. with kids, just how special it is to be able to be a stay-at-home mom. She found this poem among my grandmother’s belongings while cleaning out their house for sale, clipped from an […]
Le Jeggings
I would never have thought I would publicly declare my love for jeggings, but there it is. I love them. If you don’t have some, I strongly suggest you get some – no one I’ve talked into them has regretted it for a second. Comfy like sweats, cute like skinny jeans…I don’t care if they […]
Things I learned in school today
1) Monkeys have insight I think this is pretty interesting…not sure I’d call it insight, but that monkey is definitely doing some thinking! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPz6uvIbWZE&w=480&h=390] 2) “Groupthink” is dangerous but can be funny 3) I always use the handicapped stall The handicapped bathroom stall is NOT, unlike handicapped parking spaces, only for handicapped people. I […]
Have I bitten off more than I can read?
I just finished this book for Book Club, about a murdered 14-year-old watching the goings-on on earth that follow her death, and it was interesting but I’m not lining up to see the movie, being less than a fan of movie-book adaptations in general: Now I have to read this beautiful beast by March 19, […]
I have a dream…
I think if I was getting married again I would do a couple things differently. No, I wouldn’t change the guy (Hi Carl!). And I wouldn’t change the minister (Hi Dad!) But the gift situation. Don’t get me wrong, we got some fabulous gifts and I loved everything, and I plan to use my toaster […]
