You know those questions your kids ask? Like “Can I have a candy?” or “Can I watch TV?” The questions to which you know you should say “no” but so often end up caving? If you are like me you usually pretend you didn’t hear them and hope that the asker will get distracted or [...]
Archive for August, 2007
Today is my husband’s favourite day of the week. No, not Wednesday. It’s the day when I call him and say “Oh. My. God. I’m going to murder the children.” Some days he is sympathetic and tries to help me cope without spazzing out. Other days he recognizes the futility of that course of action [...]
why, oh whyyyy???
25Aug07Diet coke was the one thing that I could enjoy basically guilt free and the Globe and Mail has to go and ruin it for me. Damn you and your conscientious reporting! Not that I have ever believed that diet drinks were somehow going to magically make me lose weight. But at least I could [...]
problem solved
25Aug07If you’ve never listened to any music by The Arrogant Worms, it’s time you did. They write a lot of funny songs but here is one I heard for the first time just recently:
Billy solves his problems by calling up his Mom

Daniel solves his problems with a doctor [...]

please, not me
24Aug07I was doing a bit of blog-hopping today and landed here where I read until I was too choked up to read anymore. This woman lost her daughter (who looks not much older than mine) just recently. She also has a younger daughter (not much older than my son). It is absolutely heartwrenching. It was [...]
I just tried to write a post for an hour straight and all that came out was BORING. Really. Brutally and mind numbingly dull and stale as three week old bread. And because I love you and don’t want you to fall asleep at the keyboard while reading this I have decided to spare you. [...]
Archive Bug
22Aug07It’s come to my attention that there are some issues with the archives that’s partly due to exporting it all from Live Journal and partly due to a bug in the code of my wordpress theme. I’m trying to get my husband to fix that. Hopefully it will be working properly soon.
My Alumni Newsletter Post
21Aug07I got this meme from Swistle and I thought it was pretty hilarious. The instructions are as follows: Write a paragraph about your life in the style of what you might read in your alumni newsletter - extra enthusiastic and unreasonably bubbly. Then write a second paragraph in a more candid (and probably funnier) style.
Here’s [...]
i have a crush
20Aug07Have I mentioned that I totally adore RLP? If only all religious people could be so thoughtful and genuinely humble about their views we might just manage to avoid killing so many people over ridiculous arguments. That kind of theology is totally sexy.
