I spent $253 at the grocery store last week. Three people live in our house. Three. Yes, $25 of that was because the ginormous 24/7 kitty litter was on sale for $3.00 off the regular price so I had to get at least two of them, but that still means that the other grocery type…
These girls are 9 So there I was… watching the baby sluts dance… It was not, as might be inferred, the END OF DAYS – nope, that wasn’t it. Dance competition season had begun. The last time I endured this was 5 years ago, when Rissa did a couple of group numbers at the age…
I should have been prepared. It’s not like I’m new to this. I’ve done shows before – I’ve suffered from Post-Show Depression. But this time around – there’s a 6 piece set + carry-on of emotional baggage that I hadn’t counted on. As an actor – for concentrated amounts of time – your cast…
The shoes were stunning. Beautiful burgundy brogues, glowing in the fluorescent lights of Value Village. I spotted them from the end of the women’s jackets aisle. I’m always on the look out for a great pair of men’s shoes for David. They have to be big shoes, David has massive feet. Wide, wide, WIDE, flipper…
It was one of the worst days of my life. My friend Shannon had died. It was about 2 weeks after she’d had a successful stem cell transplant – her prognosis had been good. Except now she was dead. I almost threw up when her partner John told me, my knees threatened to buckle, white-knuckled…
It was a revelation. With the first one I thought I’d just been lucky. Even the second. What a happy coincidence! How delightful! It was only upon savouring the third that I thought something was up. I looked at the box. Ladies and gentlemen, Pot Of Gold makes a CARAMEL collection! I am undone. Dear…
Because 3000 sq feet of furniture from a 2.5 story century home will not fit into a 1500 sq foot 1.5 story… even older century home. No matter how much we might want it to. David’s a list maker. It calms him – it gives him purpose. So we took his laptop and went from…
I’m Canadian. An Air Force brat, I split my formative years between the Maritimes and Prairies (PEI, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, back to Manitoba – with a brief anomaly in California in ’81 and ’82 – until I finished high school and then I found myself an Ontarian). I remember those winters in Nova Scotia and…
You wouldn’t think her head could do a 360 would you? Or she’s possessed. It’s an either/or I think. We were all lazing about during the Christmas holidays – comfy and cozy in the family room – in front of the fireplace, and Minuit – the most crotchety of our beasts – went cuckoo bananas….
I have been taken in by British department store John Lewis. I didn’t even know that John Lewis existed before today, and now here I am tearing up – TEARING UP – at an animated commercial. Albeit an animated commercial that celebrates Christmas with woodland animals all to a lovely soundtrack by Lily Allen, but…
