Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
Canada has been hit with snow and freezing temperatures from coast to coast….Vancouver is in shock..we have OVER a foot of snow on the ground. Awesome if you don’t have to go anywhere. Pat’s commute took rather longer for him. Getting to Safeway for the great Turkey shop yesterday was interesting…God Bless Traction Control! The […]
Too bloody fast…well for a person like me anyway, who prefers laying on the couch to dashing around like a maniac these days. But the tree is up and decorated. Parts of the house are relatively clean, and I will get to the other parts. MOST gifts are bought..just a few more to purchase….the majority […]
She hates me.. Well…they said ‘douse’ her in the liquid…..ick. Apparently there is some ‘environmental’ reason our cats keep getting sick….scabby skin….sneezing, etc. It is fungal. Ick again. We think that this also causes the weird rashes that Caity gets too. Ick again. Vet is going to try to find out what it is exactly. […]
Even though I don’t really feel like it. It is hard to feel THAT sad again. I don’t want to. It is leading up to Christmas…my children are excited and pestering us for trees and to finish decorating the house. I have Christmas Cards to write, and gifts to buy. There are open houses to […]
So for fall, I signed mom and myself up with the Community Centre choir. Mom and I had done some ‘amateur’ choral singing a few years ago and really enjoyed it….so figured we should have a go again. There is only seven of us in this little choir, but our teacher, Miriam, was/is amazing and […]
I don’t know if any of the Vancouver area bloggers are avid CBC Radio One listeners….but I was asked to join Steven Quinn on ‘On the Coast’ to discuss a recent case of ‘alleged’ discrimination. A woman won a case against the bus company when she claimed she was discriminated against by a bus driver when she […]
Getting the ‘real’ facts from a six year old is tough. I don’t think even torture and a polygraph would really get you anywhere…they totally believe what they are telling you is the ‘whole truth and nothing but.’ My son can be hypersensitive…with us. I am not sure how he is with his peers. […]
I did have a deep and introspective navel gazing post….but let’s talk about the cats instead. We got one still living kitten. This is Molly. She is really cute….very feisty. We are all enjoying her crazy energy. I knew the other two cats, Phoebe and Aurora, would have no problem with her. They are not […]
Because my sons school had craftily arranged a ‘pro-d’ day yesterday, they held their Rememberance Day assembly on Friday. When I strolled into the gym, I was instantly touched by all the posters that some of the older grades had made in honour of the soldiers past and present. One was ‘For my Grandpa.’ […]
