As I was preparing to come visit CCB in Toronto, I found myself in desperate need of a facial but no time to schedule one. Being ever the quick-thinker, I remembered that there was a spa in CCB’s condo building, so I asked him if he’d make an appointment for me. I fully [...]

I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I’ve gone back to therapy, but haven’t been entirely forthcoming about it.

Hey, have you seen those Wordle things? You put in your blog address and it scans your blog for the words you use most often, and makes a cute little collage of all of them. Here is what mine looks like:
Awesome. According to Wordle, I mention Pepsi more than I mention my [...]

I may or may not have mentioned that I just came down off an 11-day work period. An 8-hour shift on the 8th followed by 12-hour shifts on the 9th, 10th and 11th, and then working from home on a schedule (average: 9-hour days) from the 12th through the 18th. As of yesterday, [...]

1. My dog, Sam, almost found a new home when he ran away on Saturday. He was gone for over two hours before finding his way back to our yard. CCB and I were beginning to fret about how we would explain his absence to Lauren and Beth, who are ridiculously attached [...]

Hello from cold, drizzly Toronto!! Lauren and I managed our trip just fine yesterday and other than struggling to get two giggly girls in bed at a decent time, last night was relaxing and calm.
Today I am preparing our Thanksgiving meal, but my heart isn’t in it. [...]

Rather than spending the holiday overeating and then falling asleep in front of the TV, today will be spent in airports as we travel to see CCB and Beth in Toronto. Lauren had a rough time falling asleep last night because she was so excited! And as much as I am also excited [...]

So being relatively new to the whole blogging thing, I’m still at the stage where the simplest things get me all giddy.

My apologies to Naomi for what I’m about to say. I know how she feels about this band, but I just have to say it: I hate Nickelback. And here is why:
1. All their songs sound the same. NOT because Chad Kroeger has a distinctive voice, although he does. Because they have the same musical formula [...]
