I was making my case to go see what looks like the BEST summer movie EVER – Pacific Rim. Rissa needed to do her due diligence. “Who’s in it?” “Who’s in it? Who are you? Roger Ebert?” “Who’s Roger Ebert?” *face palm* “I don’t know,” says David. “It looks pretty cheesy.” “Come on guys –…
Sometimes a birthday reaches perfection. First off, the weather gods heard my plea and took away the humidity which really helped with my wanting to murder those around me. David and Rissa made me breakfast and gave me these birthday cards: David’s card made me weepy when I read it. He wrote “I’m Always aiming…
I was recently in Sears buying underwear for Rissa. I wasn’t really ‘put together,’ hadn’t dressed up, probably had no makeup on. It was an emergency underwear trip – she needed them and she needed them fast. I was lined up, ready to pay with my 6 pairs of xs panties, when the guy in…
WARNING: There is adult language in this post Just shoot me now. Please. I know, I know… I know that I’m not supposed to. After a long winter and meteorologically weird spring, I know that I’m supposed to be SO happy that heat has come to Canada… but for me, summer in Southern Ontario…
My friend is a bombshell. When I’m with her, it’s like hanging out with Marilyn Monroe. A shorter, more shapely Marilyn Monroe. She is the flame to every male moth within her orbit. Has been ever since high school. Most definitely she is gorgeous, that’s part of it, but she has something MORE. Something…
WARNING – This post is about sex. We took a workshop at an ‘adult’ club in ‘sensual sensory deprivation.‘ Welcome to marriage after the first decade.

So you know when you lie on your back in bed and your boobs nearly rest in your armpits? What is that? Remember when you were in your 20s and the girls were pert and perky and in their place? It’s not like they’re National Geographic boobs now, but as I approach 45, they do…
I am now the mother of a teenaged daughter. How the hell did that happen? One day she was 3 and now she’s 13. Rissa is now 13. Except she looks like she’s 17. She draws the male eye. And not just the eye of her peers, but the eye of dudes who are a…
WARNING: Female things discussed. Peter de Seve, Thar She Blows (sketch) I am in idiot. Why couldn’t I just leave well enough alone? Sure, there was that pregnancy scare because I hadn’t had my period in 3 months, but why couldn’t I just embrace the peri-menopause? Why did I have to seek out the OBGYN…
So basically, if you threaten a cat with euthanasia? They get better. That’s what happened to Steve. One day at death’s door … Me checking in on him every two hours overnight as he was sequestered in our main floor bathroom. Him just lying there – near flat as a pancake and all glassy-eyed. And…
