I don’t know about you but I don’t like flushing the toilet right before I take a shower. In our probably 70 year old house (okay, at the very least 40), it messes with the water temperature and I run the risk of either being scalded or frozen when I do get in the shower. [...]

So this morning I woke up, came downstairs, smelled some bleach that had gotten spilled yesterday, and suddenly was in the throes of a full-fledged asthma attack. I looked around, and couldn’t find my inhaler. The dogs were doing their peepee dance around my legs, and I figured my inhaler might be out in the [...]

I mean, it’s pretty much against our will, but we are. DINKs, that is. If you don’t count our dogs as “kids”. Which I sort of do. I know, I know, annoying people who treat their pets as children.
Anyway. We’ve been discussing birthday gifts. Rob wants to get me some more laptop memory [...]

If you haven’t, go at least watch the video on my last post. You won’t be sorry. Or maybe you will. Probably not though.
So, school is closed today for the second day. Third day this week. I went in on Tuesday and yesterday, but I’m not, today. Because holy crap, it is still very [...]

The kids at my school think that if you sleep with your pajamas inside out and put a spoon under your pillow, the predicted snowstorm will come to fruition.
They must ALL have been doing it last night, because when I woke up this morning, there was a one-hour delay on. I took the dogs out [...]

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… [...]

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 [...]

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 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, [...]
