the brave little toaster

29Jan08

I am so achy today that it hurt to take a shower!  The drops hitting my body actually hurt.  Dammit.  I turned the spray down as gentle as possible and the heat up high and it was better. But still.  A cold that takes away the pleasure of a hot shower has been forged in [...]

I have a new addiction.  Since I did the Rockstar Meme I’ve been spending some time looking at all the awesome photos on Flickr’s page that shows random interesting photos that have been uploaded in the past week.  This picture was my favourite of today’s stalking browsing.

 I’m feeling crappy and sick today. I managed to add pinkeye on to the cough and cold.  But taking these pictures was the one highlight in my day.
  

peace in the waiting room

It’s been just over three weeks without illness of any kind (not counting mental illness) so we were due. I should have seen it coming. But no, I was blissfully unaware that the SNOT was about to pounce on us in all its runny glory.  And here we are, back at square one again.

mr. dressup, breaking gender sterotypes and looking cool in plaid

22Jan08

We rented some old school Mr. Dressup shows on DVD from the library this week. I hadn’t really watched it at all but was listening to the one Avery was watching as I made dinner tonight and discovered something that really delighted me. Mr. Dressup was teaching girls that they don’t need men to [...]

hint, hint

The scene: Avery and Daddy are playing Hide & Seek. Avery is counting.  When she opens her eyes she runs straight to the place where he is hiding. The following conversation ensues…
Avery: I found you!
Daddy: Did you look?
Avery: No! (indignantly)
Daddy: Then how did you find me so fast?
Avery: I had a little hint. (Demonstrates “little” [...]
