Smoking and Driving

A while back I was in the car with Xander and as we passed a car on the highway I looked over and saw a 20-something girl in her car.  I watched as she tried to hold the wheel, hold her cigarette, shift gears and take a drink of her fanta all at the same time and I wondered why …

Dear Mr. President

I’ve always loved Pink, first because her music is awesome, but also because she’s just so out there and not afraid to be different.  I LOVE that about her.  I think if I could trade bodies and attitudes with anyone it would be her. If there was ever any doubt in my mind that she is the coolest chick in …

Back in the Saddle

The other day I was feeling particularly crap and for some absurd reason thought that would be a good time to step on the scale. Uhhh, no.  Crappy feelings x100 when I realized that I’d gained back 25 of the 30 lbs I’d lost last year.   I was so disgusted with myself that something clicked in my brain and once …

Summer is Late

… but it’s finally here! Today was such a great day, we woke up and the sun was shining and it was like summer had been here all along.   People were out in their shorts and tank tops enjoying the weather, it was great.

Bailey Again

For the last while Bailey has been looking more like a walking mop than a dog and we were happy to take him to get a haircut today.  Here’s a before and after: It’s nice to see his cute little eyes again… and I’m sure he was actually prancing proudly on his way home from the groomer. I think he …

(( HOMESICK!! )) Then I started looking for photos of other places I’ve lived… This is my home town of North Sydney, on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.  It looks so small to me now but growing up it was my entire world.  It’s still …

The Fast Sleeper

Me: How do you sleep fast?  You mean the time went by quick? Hubby: No, like I slept like a rock! Me: Oh, you mean deeply! Hubby: Yeah! Me: Well …

Saturday Photo Hunt – Tiny

This week’s photo hunter theme is TINY, which made me think of this. It’s a photo I took a few years ago when I was petsitting for a lady in Heemstede, she had a huge 1 year old Weimeraner and a ton of cats.  The dog had no training whatsoever and I left black and blue. This little kitten took …

A Bug’s Life

Yesterday, I was out with the dog enjoying what turned out to be very temporary sunshine when I suddenly choked.   Was I choking on my own saliva?  Was it a piece of my fried egg that I didn’t get down properly before I went out?  I wasn’t sure what it was but I knew I suddenly had a tickle in …

Hij is Weg!

That means… HE’S GONE!! He being my asshole neighbour who left his junk everywhere and was always noisy… among other things.  He had two weeks to pay up his unpaid rent or he was going to be kicked out, and he left before they had the chance.  Over the weekend he and his friends packed everything into his van and he’s gone.  Gone away…forever… …
