Another one bites the dust…
Year…that is. I can’t believe we are done already. It seems like just yesterday we were at the end of last year. But at this stage in life, it is like the days pass in seconds and the time goes before you can even process what has taken place. This may just be a sign [...]
I’m just not ready….
For it to be over yet. I feel like I haven’t participated enough. Or maybe its just that I didn’t feel it as wholeheartedly as I have before. It’s Christmas eve eve… I miss my parents and my brother and his family. I wish we were all together. I know that isn’t always doable…it wasn’t [...]
Mud Hen Bars…
This is the first time that I have made these bars…it’s definitely not going to be the last. They are amazingly delicious. I made them last night, and yes…I had two pieces for breakfast. Before I even had coffee. It’s my birthday week, I can do what I want.
My Birthday week…
A friend of mine brought to my attention on facebook the other day, that it is my Birthday week. Well indeed it is!!! If you don’t know, my birthday is on Christmas Day. No, I don’t feel ripped off, nor do I hate having my birthday on Christmas… I don’t actually know any different, so [...]
As our hearts break and our faith diminishes…
I wish to send my deepest sympathy to the families suffering after the horrible shooting in Connecticut today. It is totally unfathomable to pretty much all of us that someone could premeditate doing something like that… My heart breaks, my tears fall and still…I don’t understand. I have been reading articles about it for an hour [...]
There’s no place like home…
Day one of the Road trip home… We decided to take a detour to downtown Vancouver and check things out. I haven’t been downtown for a couple of years, since the Olympics. It’s funny how things are more real now. There is no Canadian camaraderie…no red and white in the streets. It is Christmas yes…but it doesn’t cover [...]
Melting Shortbread…
I make these every year for Christmas. Well except last year, because we were flying around in Helicopters and in the Hyperbaric Chamber and stuff. So I didn’t have time. This year, I am making them. Today. Oh I also have a mini freezer now, which is awesome to get stuff stocked up. So here [...]
Bite me Santa!!!
Today is November 1st…I am going to post this on the 2nd, because I have put up too many posts for today, but this needs to be said. I was in Shoppers Drug Mart today, and there was Christmas music. Seriously. Can you even imagine??? It is one freaking day after Halloween…hell I am not [...]
Bring on Christmas…
I know, I know…summer isn’t even over yet. And you are all swearing at me right now. I don’t care. I am going to make this the most excellent Christmas I can. I feel the need to start now.
The Slackingest of Slackers…
Well I am back :) I took a much needed break over the last few days. Mostly because I had my arms filled with baby whenever I could pry him loose from my dad or my children… Seriously….no one loves this kid at all…
Where the flaming hell am I?
I haven’t been around. Well I have been, just not anywhere I usually am. Dylan and I got a free helicopter ride. Only he was drugged and slept through it all. The Universe is once again using us as an example, or some fucking thing. We are in Vancouver in a hotel room right now, [...]
Thank you is so inadequate…
The last week, has been amazing. Heart wrenching. Life changing. I have said thank you, to so many of you, so many times, for your thoughts, your love, your laughter, your compassion. The celebration today was amazing, and beautiful and absolutely perfect. More times than I can count this week I have had angels watching [...]
