This and this caused me to very nearly lose it. Once the shock of seeing the footage of a tiny baby being pulled still alive (thank the Gods) from a garbage bag that her mother (they think it’s the mother) threw into a river in Brazil wore off and I had stopped my rant about [...]

This is just one of many theories as to why CBC’s The Hour website has a link to here. The Husband was rather impressed and now thinks that he might actually start to read my blog.

Ugh I’m sore, right across my shoulders. It’s probably due to holding the shelf in position for Chris to drill it into the wall and all the other bits of home improvement we were doing this weekend. I also want to be able to sleep in past 7AM, is it wrong to give your baby [...]

Ok so it didn’t really save the Marriage perse, but it has lessened my desire to take a sledge hammer or a saws-all to my kitchen so I can rebuild it in my image. Look for Yourself: It’s just delovely, Morgan and Tanya have joined my parents in coveting it…If I wake up tomorrow morning [...]

It’s one of those mornings. Let’s not comment on the fact that I’m presently drinking yesterdays coffee, let’s just be happy that there was some left over coffee in the pot and that I had had the sense last night to dig the Zapper (microwave) out of the chaos in Abis room. Let’s just say [...]

I have a feeling that Peter Mansbridge, Wendy Mesley and the rest of the CBC gaggle (excluding Rex Murphey as I just don’t think he rolls like that) either swung by George Stroumboulopoulos’ election party for a bit of a pick-us-up before coming to the studio to cover the election tonight or they hot boxed [...]

Abi had her first voting experience earlier this evening. We all trundled off to the Legion 2 blocks away and she got to see both Chris and I place our X. I forgot to bring the camera. I’m rather hopefull that Abi and her future sibling(s) will take as much pride in voting as we [...]

The story thus far: I have decided to knit a cardi for Ms. Abi using some hand spun made by moi! There was a plan for me to dye it up as well but I thought better of it and got in contact with Carolyn from Bees Knees fibers to do the dyeing for me. [...]
