As the pretty wig auction gets closer and closer to ending I get sadder and sadder. Would someone please tell me to get over myself?
Looks don’t count for everything! Hair ain’t nothin’! LOUISE STOP BEING SELFISH!
Also? I love, LOVE nachos. NACHOS! Oh my gosh, you guys, nachos.

You know, most of the time I don’t really mind being bald. Not too much, anyway. I just kind of go around with a bandanna on my head, and when I leave the house, I put on my eyebrows and throw on my wig and it’s mostly all good.
Except for lately– you may [...]

Just because I’m grumpy doesn’t mean that it’s “that time of the month”.
No, no one has accused me of this today. Actually it’s been a few years (well, not counting someone having commented here a few months back that that must be why I was feeling so emotional). But I did see something [...]

I’m allergic to pretty much every type of pet dander there is. Feathers? Atchoo. Cat hair? ATCHOOOOOO! Horses, sheep, monkeys, you name it, I’m allergic.
This includes dogs. However, I had a dog for 16 years, and wasn’t allergic to her (she was a terrier-poodle mix my dad got at the Humane Society when I [...]

This is not a list of things I have to do today, necessarily– just a list of things I should probably do sometime. I’m so lackadaisical with my goals, eh?
1- Find my Nova Scotia health card so that I can trade it in for a PEI health card. So that I can actually, oh, I [...]

I love these ones– the questions people come up with! The lovely and gracious Meg sent me these questions to answer; the rules are at the bottom if you’re interested.
1. You find a sack full of unmarked bills. Do you keep it, skim a little off the top and then turn it in, bring it [...]

My parents’ apple tree is so laden with fruit that the branches are touching the ground. They had hundreds of cherries this year– enough for three cherry pies and all the snacking on cherries we could muster. They didn’t plant their garden, but there are still carrots, lettuce, and rhubarb sprouting up. They [...]

I’ve been having so much of a hard time getting up the mental energy to write anything lately. I’ve come across this meme about 1000 different places out there and thought it would be a kind of good way to prime myself? We shall see.

Ten years ago (August 1995):
It was just after my first year [...]

Okay, more weddingy stuff (I’m allowed to think about it now– since we’re getting married on Aug. 19, 2006, well, I’m close to a year away from it, so it’s not like January when I was like “THERE’S A TON OF TIME! WHY AM I PLANNING NOW?”).
Well, really I need a bunch of opinions. Some [...]

Rob woke me up in the middle of the night to let me know that Peter Jennings had passed away. It seems so quick– was it really only four months ago that he found out and announced that he had lung cancer?
I won’t go on to eulogize him– I will just say that for [...]
