Last Saturday we were having a house showing. Our house isn’t even on the market, but our former real estate agent will send city folks to see our place every now and again if they want a massive century home that takes 4 hours to clean. Prepping one’s house for a showing has to be…
WARNING: THERE IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION IN THIS POST. Winter in Canada. Cold, right? In some places VERY COLD. We’re not even into ACTUAL winter yet and I can see the effects on my poor spouse. We went for a walk on Friday night as the sun was going down and David was unprepared. After…
By my own ass, no less. It’s the 3-way mirror’s fault. Feeling great about myself – finding that cute perfect-for-me dress – that I actually have the money in hand to pay for – I sashay my ass into the change room. I cast off my clothes and as I’m turning around, I catch a…
For instance… according to my daughter, these are the signs for “Uterus Falling Out.” Apparently last year, in Grade 7, Rissa and her friends figured it out so that they could torment the boys. I don’t know how accurate it is in ASL, but I’ll be signing it myself from now on. Above Rissa exhibits…
I should have known better than to post that I had an abundance of energy. Those petty cold gods sure do love their schadenfreude. Tuesday morning I awoke… no, strike that. Who am I kidding? I never really woke up during the day. Went back to bed for a couple of hours to see if…

Plus, I was missing some stitched-back-together scars when I went to work in the morning. It was a dark…
Netflix has made me healthier. Well, Netflix and the tablet whereby I can view Netflix, has made me healthier. I take my collapsible treadmill out of the closet in our study, pop on a TV show, hit the START button and go. Minimum 30 minutes a day of guaranteed walking and that’s on top of…
WARNING: THIS POST IS ABOUT SEX WITH YOUNG MEN There are sooooooo many things to enjoy about peri-menopause – it’s hard to pick a favourite. But pretty high on that list would be how my peri-menopausal ovaries take over my higher brain functions when in the presence of young men. My lady bits are apparently…
“BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA!!! Look at them! LOOK AT THEM!!!” “You’re a dog!” says Rissa. “No, I’m not!” says I. “You’re totally a dog. You’re all like… talking, talking, talking, conversing while walking… SQUIRREL!!!!“ “You can’t tell me that you weren’t entertained watching those two squirrels chase each other around and around that pine tree. And then when…
