It’s my favourite day of the year.  Christmas Eve Eve.  You still have all the excitement and anticipation of Christmas without the pressure of the Christmas Eve party and the sinking feeling that comes at the end of Christmas Day. So Christmas Eve Eve it is!  The most wonderful day of the year. I plan [...]

I would like to interrupt today’s regularly scheduled post with this brief announcement. There are 2 days until my annual Christmas Eve party and I still haven’t planned out, bought the ingredients for, or decided on a menu.   As of now the menu looks like this:  store bought cookies and hairbrushes. There may not [...]

In keeping with this week’s theme of ohmygodistillhavesomuchtodohowdidthishappen, I’m going right into today’s post.  There will be no funny.  None.  This here is a bare, bones post with pretty pictures.  And hopefully some inspiration.  And intrigue.  And maybe even a MURDER!

Oh my GOD.  This didn’t work out.  This didn’t work out at all.  That whole plan I had to get everything done by the beginning of December?  Well … I got everything done I wanted to.  And then I stopped. Being so prepared for Christmas so early lulled me into a false sense of security. [...]

There’s still a couple of weeks left in the holiday season and I’m going to milk everything out of it that I can.

It was one year ago that I almost choked on a piece of gum and died.  Almost.  At the very least I was winded and had to sit quietly for a moment. I remember the day like it was yesterday.  Ironically I can’t remember my “actual” yesterday.   I was visiting my niece’s house to [...]

  3 months ago I sat straight up in bed and said “Pinecone bows” out loud.  It wasn’t the weirdest thing I’d ever done in bed, but it was up there.  I knew, like the time I apparently pushed the fella right out of bed, I would forget this in the morning. So I got [...]

Friday’s kindda my relax day.  I don’t know if you noticed that.  You never learn much of anything on a Friday from me.  You learn I don’t like to put up elaborate posts on a Friday.  You learn that from me. A couple of weeks ago I asked you to complete a sentence for me. [...]

When I was growing up we never had a laundry basket in the house.   That’s because we were so privileged and averse to any form of manual labour that we simply threw our dirty clothes in the woodland forest behind our house and had Yves (St. Laurent) make us new stuff. By the time [...]
