I like going to the beach.  I like being at the beach.  I just don't like coming home from the beach.  (more here ...…

I always feel guilty on Mother's day.  I wish I could be more like the Mom's who march right up to sit in the VIP seats and accept their awards and accolades but ya ...no ... not me ....  (more here ...…

I have been accused of being neurotic and insane so why wouldn't we have insane wildlife around our house?  (more here... )

We Canadians have an affinity with white.  (more here ... )

I love the chaos of children out of control, frantic parents, and all the cute cute things children tend to do when they overdose on chocolate from Easter.  (more…

I went shopping for the perfect Easter Egg yesterday.  One that was all pretty and lovely and chocolatey.   (it's a word if I say it is a word ... it is my blog!)  (more here ...…

Yesterday as we grabbed the train into downtown Brissy, hubby reached for the door and opened it for me to go through.  He is such a gentleman.  (more here...…

The only problem about jumping in the pool for quick swims during the day is the part where you have to get back into the house, get dressed again, and do it quickly before someone comes to the door.

There is the part about drying and redrying your feet and making sure all the water is out of your bathing suit…

This post is a multi purpose public service announcement.  First there will be no garbage pick-up on Thursday in the neighbourhood as the trucks need to be serviced after all the rain and too many people trying to put out their husbands after weeks of being locked in confined spaces with them.  (more …

Canadians love black clothes.  People think it is because we are very somber serious people and we have no joy or rhythm in our soul.  (more here...…

I thank Second Life for helping me to understand that virtual reality is not the only place where people can role play.  (more here...…

Remember when you were a little girls and you got a new fairy princess colouring book with a bigbox of new crayons and you had to try and figure out which fairy to colour first?  I mean do you colour the flower fairy, the mermaid princess fairy or the fairy that sparkles first?  (more …

I have a love affair with books that started with my first cloth book and lasted forever ... well as forever as I am at the moment .... I could not get enough to read as a kid.  I would stay up at night with my copper lamp of the horse with a chain for a bridle under my sheets with me until it was so hot and I had sucked all the…

I actually went to school with a girl named Corrine.  She had red hair and ginormous bazoozums.  We were all in awe of her even before we knew how important those things were about to become to the world at large.  She was Lola-lalaing way before SL was invented and someone invented the art of Lola.   The…

Lingerie is perfect for Valentines Day. Men evidently love the surprise of having beautiful lacy, satiny, sexy lingerie as opposed to cotton briefs with "Thursday" written on them, even though one could argue that prompting men on the proper day of the week could not be a bad thing.  (more …

You know, I am disillusioned.  I guess that means at some point I was illusioned and then I lost it but I can't tell you for sure the last time I remember having any illusions intact.  There is the possibility I was born illusion-less. (more …

My Little Sparkle Piggy is like my little pony  . . only pinker . . . and more sparkly.  Some would argue they smell different too but years of being on the farm have rendered my nose unable to make such delicate destinctions. (more…

The fact that someone figured out that an anagram of "National Rail Timetable" is "All trains aim to be late in," is proof that leaving people around waiting for trains is a dangerous thing to do.  I cannot be sure but I think it was on one of those waits that someone came up with the idea for bacon flavoured tooth floss.  (more …

I think people today have an unfair advantage.  They have reality TV.  (more here... )

I am the type of girl who, when I find something I love love love, I will buy it in several colours ... not wedding dresses or clown costumes or anything like that ... but definitely shoes, purses or a great coat.  (more …
