w/e

There isn’t much happening. I wanted to sleep in today (I didn’t). We were supposed to have a snowstorm yesterday (we didn’t). Rob thought he’d be over his cold by now (he isn’t). I thought my period was starting the other day (it wasn’t? – a couple of tiny spots on Thursday and then… [...]

la misere

My Dad, as you know, has had some health problems these past few years. He started off with an aortic aneurysm back when Rob and I were still living in Nova Scotia. Other stuff has popped up through the years. A couple of weeks ago, he had trouble breathing, because he had the flu. The [...]

Life, it’s bigger

Everything’s been pretty hum-drum lately. No need for any increase in life insurance rates because nothing we’re doing is even vaguely risky. Here’s a sampling of my daily activities:
6: Wake up. Walk dogs. Dogs are crazy and want to only poop on the very top of snowbanks.
6h30: Get home. Shower. Get dressed. Eat breakfast. Snuggle [...]

I’m mostly talking about shoes here. It’s probably boring. And there are lots of pictures.

I haven’t worn a pair of high heeled shoes in years. Back when I did wear them, I was in my early 20s and they pretty much never cost any more than $15. Cheap Wal-Mart shoes. The last pair I wore (after many years of not) were at our wedding – they were very comfortable, [...]

Snow day snow day snow day snow day

My sister-in-law has been going to these exercise classes lately and has been encouraging me to go with her. She’s tiny, but completely out of shape… except that now that she’s been going to fitness class, she can walk for 20 minutes without getting out of breath. Now, generally I hate exercise classes. I’ve gone [...]

House plans

Sometime this Spring, there is going to have to be a trip to Staples, or some other store with office furniture. I’ve warned Rob, so that he can be prepared… although I’m not sure if he’ll ever fully endorse this. His office chair is getting pretty long in the tooth and I’m so sick of [...]

GREAT SUCCESS

It’s a well known fact that February is the shortest month – and that it nearly always seems like the longest. Thus, the Powers That Be on our fair isle have decided to give us a holiday on the 2nd Monday of the month. This means a short week, a vacation the day after [...]
