Well, it’s been a long while since I’ve been around these parts (again) but it’s only because oftentimes I’m writing over here and uploading outfits from my closet over here whenever I have time to write at all, since summer tends to be a bust when the kids are home so much, and September tends to be a complete write-off with back-to-school stuff and chores and projects, and what have you. And then there’s October, with projects like this one. It’s all good.

Some kind of excellent things happened recently… I found my name on this very cool list over at Aiming Low – their first Twitter List – which I feel so proud to be on AT ALL, since that site is eight shades of Awesome to start with, and they think I don’t suck! WOW!! There are some seriously funny, cool tweeps on that list… I think it’s quite interesting that I’m on it at all. For realz.

AND!

My friend Beth at verybloggy.com wrote this post, including me in a list of people she likes to read, and my jaw just about hit the floor when I read my name amongst the others. I mean, WOW, Beth! And that post was back in late September. And I haven’t really said out loud until now how much that moves me… especially since I haven’t even been in this space since JUNE! Oy. I know. Thank you so much, Beth Wankel, you excellent woman!!

I’m trying not to not gonna to feel bad about it, because I can’t do everything, or be everywhere… and that’s really okay.

That said? I’m back.

And I’m gonna use the f-word every fucking day, because it’s my favourite, and I can’t use it anywhere else. Much.

Fuckity fuck-fuck. Heh.

The Girl’s Night In With Our New Friend, Senor Sauza

June 13, 2011 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

When I went to bed, just shortly before 2 AM Friday night, I first had to shake some kosher salt out of my bra. Maybe a small bit of watermelon rind too. These are signs of a good party, yo. Earlier in the week, I thought I’d invite a few of my neighbourhood foxes over [...]

Channelling Your Inner Charro

June 8, 2011 fashion & beauty stuff

You know how I’m a total sucker for a ruffled shirt, right? Well, last week I bought not one, but TWO of them! I wandered into Bedo, which has been one of my favourite go-to stores for quite some time now… I think I end up buying some form of jacket or blazer from them [...]

Soft Lips

June 7, 2011 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

A few months back, I was at a kid birthday party, and struck up a conversation with another mother, and her charming husband. They were slightly hung over from the evening before, and I was desperate for a nap (as usual) and so be proceeded to have the funniest conversation you could dare to expect, [...]

On Fashion Soirees, Raves, and Date Nights.

June 6, 2011 entertainment stuff

It’s been some time since I’ve been here… again. What can I tell you? I’ve been writing a whole heap over here, and over here, and my M.I.L. ain’t at all well, and we had to put our dog to rest a few weeks ago… Sometimes life just gets in the way of other things. [...]

Hello Gorgeous!

April 12, 2011 house stuff

Have I ever mentioned how much I love mirrors? Not from a vanity standpoint (I mean, c’mon now) but I do so love the way they bounce light around, and how they play with reflections… Our house is long and narrow, so playing light off the windows makes the place feel airier, and makes the [...]

Repurposed.

April 7, 2011 house stuff

Some time ago, I received a flower arrangement – likely from Irene (AKA Awesome Bosslady) – and after we’d enjoyed the bouquet, I was left with this white rectangular vase, which I like very much, but since I so seldom buy myself flowers-that-require-sticking-into-vases, this idea came to me instead: Did you know that asparagus can [...]

No Jackets Required.

April 2, 2011 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

I went to a dinner party the other night, hosted by one of my neighbour-ladies… each year she invites her girlfriends to supper at her house to celebrate her birthday. Not only is she a master at arranging an artful, delicious table full of savoury foods and sublime desserts, but it’s an opportunity to hang [...]

Japan Rocks.

March 11, 2011 music stuff

Oh my lord, Japan. Earthquake. Tsunami. The whole world is falling to ruin in a hurry… . . . I’ve been thinking of including this clip in a post all week long, so today it feels fitting. I loathe a lot of television programming for children – like, really, really HATE some stuff (I’m looking [...]
