Stuff I've Read

2009-10-27T16:18:30Z

I realize I haven't updated any of my summer, and now, fall, reads. And I've just discovered that the amazon search for books is gone nutty. Anyone else notice this? Did I miss the memo? So instead of pictures, there's titles to be had! In so...

Dear CBC

2009-10-26T22:29:22Z

This is a delayed post. I wrote it a month ago into my day planner, just having to get it off my chest one day, but unable to get to computer. Dear CBC, Please do not prop-up the electorates poor understanding of the workings of parliamentary d...

Tuesday Things

2009-10-20T22:24:20Z

Thumbs Down: When kids who need their beauty rest, don't sleep. Bill 13 passed second reading at the B.C. Leg. today. It's Part 9 that I have bones about. Sure, the municipalities have always had these powers to a degree, but the content that ...

Return

2009-10-06T21:13:09Z

Hello! Yes, I am still alive and ticking. I knew it had been a bit, but was surprised to see almost 3 weeks have passed. I can claim some excuse: Gus came down with a fever, that backed right on to pink eye. Halfway through the fever, I ended...

Thingys on Tuesday

2009-09-15T21:27:39Z

Loathing: Fatigue. Runny noses, fever, teething. It's been that kind of week. Making dinner. (What's with me? Usually I don't mind this task.) Finding food for a picky eater. Slow-ripening tomatoes. Hearing the phrase, "But I don't want Pe...

One Bottle of Pop

2009-09-04T21:52:28Z

Earlier this week I loaded up the kids in the chariot and we biked downtown to the Farmer's Market. Scored a free cantaloupe* to make up for the one I bought last week with worms in it. The farmer was stunned and even had me take a bigger one th...

Change in Status

2009-09-03T20:31:34Z

As I'm sure many of you have noticed, September has arrived. Oddly enough, I've been looking to this date for a little while now. Sure, some of you will say, it's just because you're sick of the heat. Too true, I'd have to reply. However, it...

That Photo Meme Everyone Did While I Was Away

2009-08-25T17:16:27Z

Here's the third photo in the third folder in my photo album. No cheats! :) Coincidentally, this photo was taken on our last trip to Alberta about 4 years ago. When I was in grade 8, our entire class went on a week long science field trip, the...

Return & Rough Nights

2009-08-25T16:47:27Z

Sunday night, after 11 hours on the road, we arrived home from a 10 day holiday. Seeing family and friends was great. We spent our time in Calgary, Edmonton and one day on a farm near Markerville. We went to Eau Claire Market during the Tastes...

Caving

2009-08-12T17:59:20Z

About half an hour ago, Gus asked for his blanket shortly after we got home from running errands. I was nursing Peaches on the couch. "It's in the bag, right behind you," I said. (Really, just an arm's length away - his arm.) "I want you to ge...
