Finally, the promised pictures from our first beach visit of the summer. The kids have never swum so early.
Jasper loved the water, but refused to actually go so deep that his feet left the ground. I missed the photos of him at his wettest. He looked like those games little kids have, where you can [...]

Better late than never

My baby is 11 years old today. I told her that since I was the one who gave birth, I should get the party, but she didn’t fall for it. At least she likes chocolate, so I got to eat chocolate cake. Even though it is hard to believe she is already 11, heading into [...]
And so it begins
Posted in Kids, garage sale on May 26, 2007 | 3 Comments »
The neighbourhood garage sale is today. We temporarily lost our minds and allowed Asher to go out alone with Boo.
He had money with him.
The result: a Cabbage Patch doll, the biggest, ugliest necklace ever, another frisbee, another ball, a dress for the Cabbage Patch doll (because the drawer in the basement crammed with dolls’ clothes [...]
8 random things
Posted in Uncategorized on May 25, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Yogamum tagged me to write 8 random things about myself. I’m going to do it, but I’m not tagging anyone else. So there. It’s not that I’m hostile to the whole meme concept, just can’t figure out who to tag.
1. I don’t drink any tea or coffee, although I learned how to force down tea [...]
Excitment in the burbs
Posted in arrest, cops, police, suburbs on May 25, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I’ve been away for a couple of days and have lots to write about. Yogamum tagged me for a meme that I have to get to, and I have cute photos of Jasper swimming for the first time, as we went up to the cottage to celebrate Maya’s 11 birthday. But that all has to [...]
Asparagus pee

Did you know that if a dog eats lots of asparagus, he too will experience asparagus pee? J swears so, and he was the one who walked Jasper the morning after that rotten dog ate three-quarters of the plate of asparagus I had prepared for dinner. I was smart enough to place the hamburgers [...]
Flaring

It is a warm, sunny May long weekend, which is when us south-eastern Canadian go gardening nuts. So far today I have planted my tomato plants, chives, asparagus, a new hunk of decorative grass and some woolly thyme. I have also moved a big hunk of not-so-decorative decorative grass from a primo garden spot to [...]
One tiny sign

of a fucked-up planet.
I live in the burbs. You know – house after similar house, each with a two-car garage and square of lawn out front. J was fearful as we moved into this neighbourhood and I eyed the chunk of grass and started mulling over all the more interesting things that could take it’s [...]

Thirteen Things about just making it up
I’ve been feeling crappy this week, as I think my last post subtly hinted at. The constant anxiety is getting me down, so I’ve decided that this week’s Thursday Thirteen will be thirteen achievements of which I’m proud, in chronological order:
1. When I was a kid, there was a [...]
tired, tired, tired

I have a few half-written posts here, but I haven’t really had the time to sit down and do anything with them. I am wiped. I think I’ll blame the rain, but it could also be this cold that has last 2 weeks and given me laryngitis for one of them. I sound like an [...]
