Watch my life unravel...
|
Despite all my anticipatory hysterics about turning 50, I’m pleased to report I woke up on October 15th with a smile on my face and a profound sense of inner peace about my sacred place in the ageless eternal rhythms of life. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t peace, maybe it […] If you’re a blogger, you already know that sometimes it’s hard to think of anything to blog about, while at other times you have a surplus of blogging ideas. Right now I’m in overflow mode, which is a good place to be. I’m not finished blogging about poverty, and I also want to blog about […] (This post is my contribution to Blog Action Day. This year’s theme is Poverty.) My son and I were on welfare together for seven years. Poverty is not good for one’s self esteem – the stigma worms its way right into your core. While I was on welfare, I finished high school and went on to university, […] On my way to work this morning: On my way home from work this evening: I actually had to go to the polling station twice, because this year they’re requiring ID and I didn’t have any with me.

Yesterday GC and I were volunteers in the Beat Beethoven race, which is a half-marathon fundraiser for the Shepherds of Good Hope. We were road marshals. As such, […] Last night we invented Hard-to-Spell Pizza. There’s just one rule: you can only use toppings that are hard to spell. Toppings: Zucchini Five Cheeses: Mozzarella It was pretty good. I think we’re onto something. Watch for more of […] I went to the five-party debate on Poverty and Inequality in downtown Ottawa on Monday evening. The most interesting statement was the one made by the Empty Chair, which is where the Conservative Party representative would have sat had the Conservative Party considered poverty important enough to at least show up and feign some interest […] There’s a bit of a blogging backlog happening over here, because I seem to be doing stuff faster than I can blog about it. In the interests of catching up, here’s a whirlwind summary of the week’s highlights. Eating: Von’s for breakfast, Irene’s for a Beau’s beer after the Glebe Flea Market. The Golden Palace […] There’s a catch-up post coming soon, in which I’ll tell you all about my week. In the meantime, if you’re looking for something interesting to do tonight, there’s a five-party candidates debate on poverty in downtown Ottawa. It probably won’t be as much fun as the lesbian buddhist cowgirl birthday party I went to on Saturday […] |
