I think I’m the only person on the internet who really likes this time after Christmas! Everyone is posting about the post-Christmas blues. Wah wah wah, the holidays are over, the excitement gone, there are too many presents and not enough space, and everyone is so very, very sad and depressed. And fat.
What’s wrong with [...]

official new year’s post
31Dec07signage
29Dec07I’m blatantly stealing these pictures from my husband’s collection from his recent trip to China because he’ll never get around to blogging them (he averages a post every six months) and they are too funny to keep hidden on our hard drive. It’s funny how much our cultural upbringing affects our interpretation of pictures.
For example…
When [...]
quote of the day
29Dec07In response to a question, her daddy emphatically says “HELLS no!”
Avery pipes up with her own “Hells NO!”, giggles, and repeats several times before we can settle her down and explain how very INAPPROPRIATE that statement was.
Not exactly a parent-of-the-year moment.
biggest highlights of xmas 2007
28Dec07My hubby picked up some pretty, shiny things for me in China. I love getting jewelry, so the excitement of getting three beautiful pearl necklaces in one morning just about sent me into a coma!
Exhibit #1:
Exhibit #2:
Exhibit #3:
And, my favourite, exhibit #4 (don’t they look pretty together???):
I also got the game Mah Jong, which is [...]
high and lowlights of xmas 2007
27Dec07High: We were all healthy when it came time to fly to Manitoba! (Our own Christmas miracle!)
Low: A one hour delay when waiting to fly out of London when we had already arrived at the airport far earlier than was really necessary.
High: A group of about 4 or 5 families with young children congregating [...]
Tonight was a “Mother of the Year” moment. One of those days. It’s been a long ten days and the kids and I are both missing their daddy. Tomorrow we fly to Manitoba for Christmas holidays and it’s a good thing. Because I cannot promise these children would survive another day at home with me.
At [...]
forecast
21Dec07Um, I just have to let all my dear comrades out in the frigid prairies know that the forecast in London tomorrow, DECEMBER 21st, is NINE DEGREES CELSIUS!
Saskatchewan can kiss my suntanned ass! Ha!
That is all.
my little anglophone
21Dec07Avery knows a few words and phrases in French. We try to encourage her to explore the language, although I only know a few words myself, so I’m not a lot of help. We hope to put her in French immersion as soon as we are able. So it was more than a little amusing [...]
wishing
20Dec07Do you sometimes wish that your children could express just one desire without demanding or being reminded to ask nicely? Do you wish they could calmly tell you what is wrong without wailing and howling like they were speared by a javelin? Do you wish they wouldn’t follow you from room to room because, oh [...]
phone update
19Dec07And just minutes after I posted about my woeful, pathetic life and my missing phone I found the AWOL electronic device. As always happens with these things, it was in a place I had already looked. However, I do still suspect the dwarf of being the one to wander the phone to it’s secret hiding [...]
