Surprised By The Weather
After a winter of very little weather, my return to Toronto was heralded with snow, lots of snow. It started with a gentle snow at the airport causing us to taxi around and delaying our deplaning. I got home and found a living room set on the lawn, tucked into the snow as if had been an active living room for months. But there was no time to be a couch potato, Tuesday & Wednesday were spent preparing for yet another season of Taxmas and entertaining our most recent couch resident – stampgeek. Thursday was my day to catch up…
5 Things About Me
I’ve been tagged by skysearcher to do the 5 Thing meme – so now I “have to” share 5 things you don’t know about me. This is more than a little challenging since some of “you” have known me almost exactly 26 years. Which is longer than some of “you” have been around. Let’s give it a go…. Okay, I have known my best-friend for 26 years and 1 week. Here’s how we met: I had completed my first week of driver’s ed and being a keener I took my book with me to my regular babysiting gig on Saturday…
Book Meme redux
I decided to participate in Venus' Book Meme without being tagged. I don't usually do memes, but I'm sick and bored, and had a book easily within grasp. Here are the meme instructions: (you've likely seen this one before) Grab the closest book to you. Open to page 123 and find the fifth sentence on the page. Post the following three sentences to your blog. Name the book and the author. Tag three more people (and I'm assuming no tag-backs.) Season and moisten with mayonnaise. Pile into egg whites. Tuna Stuffed Eggs — Use 6 hard-cooked eggs. Tag – stampgeek,…
#18 Spill Everything aka yet another Xmas post
My friend stampgeek who has just recently started blogging posed the question: Thinking of the Season? Then waited for my comment. And waited. And waited. Then he emailed asking “what gives”. It’s my own fault, I had set him up by commenting almost immediately on all his previous posts. After leaving a comment that was actually longer than his original post, I realized my comment could be my penultimate NaBloPoMo post. So here it is, in all it’s raw glory with a little extra formatting and extra photos thrown in to make it prettier. The things that make me warm…

QotD: You’ve got to blog!
If you could get someone in your life to start a blog, who would it be and why? Gerry! In fact, I’ve gone so far as to set him up a blog – www.spunkymonkey.com (correction – www.spunkymonkey.CA,with apologies to those who went to the porn site) and got him a laptop. Hey, I even point out amusing little bloggable comments he makes like: “I’ve always wondered why Adam Ant is so special he gets his own element: Adamantian” But sadly he remains a non-blogger. Other friends who I’d love to see blogging: stampgeek, Jeff, Peter, Jenn, Junkii, Cyb, Rockr, Karen,…

Thanks For Commenting
Today’s pathetic dial-in NaBloMoPo post is brought to you by Commenting – it’s not just for spamming anymore. Do you ever find that somedays your comments on other people’s posts are more inspired and interesting than anything you can dredge out of your brain for your own blog? Well, today is definitely one of those days, so you will get my “inspiration” in tiny tiny little bites: on QotD: I’ll Have Two Boxes, Please — Fudgee-Os are, by far, the best manufactured cookie in existence. Anyone who says otherwise must have had some childhood tastebud trauma leaving them badly damaged…
