Picking Paint. Picking Painters. Picky Business.

October 15, 2010 house stuff

There’s this issue that’s been making my brain hurt for some time now. Ever since we renovated the apartment downstairs earlier this year (ohmygoditsgorgeous) we’ve been gearing up to make about a million a few changes around our place too. It starts with the parts that are necessary (like finding a 6 drawer dresser to [...]

Moose Hunting

October 12, 2010 Random Grumbles

Relax, I’m not a moose-hunter. We went to visit Martin’s parents who now live in cottage-country full-time. The scene around us is a glorious riot of colour, especially at this time of year, with the turning leaves half fallen to the ground, and the green farm lands of summer now reaped, and dried, and browning. [...]

Bloggers At Work – Am I Even Working?

September 8, 2010 Random Grumbles

The originator of this meme is Laurin Evans who asked me to participate… Not long after moving from Toronto to Montreal, I started an online gift service, which allowed me to work entirely from home. I was all set up in my basement atelier for many years, which was rather glorious in hindsight… once my [...]

Eat, Pray, Love, and a Big, Fat Ramble

September 3, 2010 Random Grumbles

WARNING: This post is all over the place. Kinda like my head these days. One of my dear neighbour-foxes, Mrs. Jones, loaned me the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert a couple of years ago. I remember enjoying the story… that there were some absolutely delicious images and ideas swirling around within the pages. [...]

I Just Can’t Stop Laughing About This

August 16, 2010 Random Grumbles

We were in Toronto a few weekends ago, and while hanging out with my sister one evening, being the asshats that we are, she told me about this youtube clip that’s had us in stitches ever since. Now please understand me – the premise of this news clip is no laughing matter. Some poor woman [...]

Year One – Me on the Internets

July 2, 2010 Random Grumbles

I actually went live with this blog one year ago today. It was Martin who said I should start writing a blog, from the beginning. I had all these snippets of writing floating around… musings, and angry rants, and stories about dumb things… He did all the background stuff, setting up the WordPress software and [...]

If It Wasn’t For This Blog, I’d Be Totally Pregnant By Now.

June 29, 2010 Random Grumbles

So, a couple of weeks ago I was engaged in a full-on five-alarm panic that my usually-like-clockwork period was two days late. Two days. Holy fuckballs. HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?! I shrieked inside my head, wandering around my house with my arms clamped to the sides of my face, my eyes wide and [...]

Someone Tell Me Why TV Has Become So Freaking Crappy. Please.

June 9, 2010 Random Grumbles

First, let me say that I love television more than I love my own children just about anything in this world. It’s much like a full-time job for me. I try to fit in about forty hours a week, if I can. (Or at least I used to.) Heh. I love all kinds of programming, [...]

Hella Hot

May 26, 2010 Random Grumbles

I will not complain about the heat. I will not complain about the heat. I will not complain about the heat. Holy fuckballs, it’s HELLA hot outside, yo! It’s just over 36 degrees celcius today, but the radio people say it feels like 40. Why not 50? Why not a million? I think beyond 35 [...]
