Watch my life unravel...

Zoom-Zoom and her Llama I’m taking a brief break from embarrassing myself with previously untold tales from the relationship crypt, to show you a picture of me and my Farmtown llama. I do this only because The Elgin Street Irregulars are on a quest for llamas. (Click the picture for a larger view – unless […] Part I: Then there was the time I married the incompatible stranger Part II Okay, so the burning question is Why did I marry George, the incompatible stranger? (I know this, because any time I’ve told this story in real life, it’s the first question people ask: Why???) The answer, quite simply, is I married George because he […] Did I ever tell you about the time I married a completely incompatible man less than a hundred days after meeting him? We’ll call him George, because that was his name. We met online, back when meeting online was practically unheard of. Our courtship was brief but intense and involved lots of fancy restaurants and good […]
Poutine & Steamies GC and I found sitters for the pets and headed for the hills on Friday afternoon. We drove through Quebec along the winding, scenic 148, through the stinky town of Thurso, and then stopped at a casse-croute in Papineauville for a traditional supper of Steamies and Poutine. (Poutine, for those of […] Ottawa’s such a terrific city. There are always interesting things to do. And now that I’m unemployed, I can do some of the daytime things too. There’s a whole other world of opportunities out there once you reclaim the weekdays! Yesterday I went to a free conference at City Hall: Rethinking Poverty 2 – An Immigrant […] Good news – my back is almost back to normal! It doesn’t hurt and I can bend and lift again. I think the anti-inflammatory – Arthrotec – is what fixed it. It’s a huge relief, because frankly I was getting worried. More good news – my camera resurfaced! It was at the physiotherapist’s office. Phew. […] Bad news for all you Jewish vegetarians: Smarties are neither vegetarian nor kosher! Purple Smarties are dyed with cochineal (carminic acid), which is made from ground-up pregnant Cochineal insects. Because of this, Smarties cannot be considered either vegetarian or kosher, or, for that matter, particularly appetizing. In 2004, The Vegetarian Society declared Smarties the winner […] I advanced to the final round of the F-Word (Feminist) Blogging Awards! This means I’m going to ask you to vote one last time. They’ve tightened up security for the final round of voting because of suspected freeping. Knitnut is a finalist in the Best Personal Blog category, but I think you have to […] The Volunteer Appreciation Dinner for Shepherds of Good Hope was a lot of fun. I’d show you pictures, but I lost my camera. I think I left it either at the dinner or at the physiotherapist’s office the next morning. I’ve been seeing the physiotherapist for a few weeks now because I threw my back […] Even though the sun is shining and it’s springtime and things are generally good in my life, I’m having a grumbly sort of day today. I think it’s just some emotional debris left behind by the layoff. Back in February, when I saw the layoff on the horizon as a real but indefinite possibility, I imagined […] |
