Pain, Life and Work

So today I wanted to get to work. I wanted to dive right back in there and make myself happy by accomplishing things. A little writing, a little blogging (oh hey, will ya look at that? Here’s a blog!), little time on my Facebook and trying to figure out what a website should have – [...]

Snow in Photoshop

Greetings! Yep, my brain is lame today. You’ll have to forgive the title. Yesterday we went to the… *takes a deep breath*… North American International Motorcycle Supershow. Phew. What a title! It was AWESOME. It was also 425,000 square feet of bikes, helmets, leather and people. Oooh the leather! And the bikes [...]

The Gratitude Attitude

So here I am on Facebook this morning and I see this picture: What a fabulous way to mark the year! So I challenge you, dear Reader, to the Gratitude Jar. One jar – a mason jar, a pasta sauce jar, whatever – one pen, one pad of paper. Write it down! Someone find [...]

Resolutions and a year in review

A mighty fine beginning it is to the year too. I am with my boyfriend, my favourite place to be. The only thing missing is the rest of my family but I shall see some of them later and most of them online in a little bit. It’s snowing but the weather isn’t completely [...]

Happy Yule and Merry Christmas!

I know I’m late. I have been busier than a one toothed beaver building a dam. hehehe Yeah that was bad. :D But it’s true. Everyone has, to be sure. I’ve run myself ragged and run myself down. It’s not over quite yet. See that beautiful little girl on the left? She turns THIRTEEN [...]

Christmas Lights

Greetings! Yes, this week’s photo sharing is a day late but I have a good excuse: Yesterday we went to see The Nutcracker. It was wonderful. It wasn’t a professional show so lacked the pomp and circumstance of the show the National Ballet of Canada would put on but that just put more emphasis [...]

Crawling Forward

An hour or so later he came upon a crevice that almost looked natural. Almost. It was triangular in shape, the narrowest peak reaching about his shoulder. The base appeared to be just over three feet wide and didn’t stay that wide much past two and a half feet up. Marcus got down on his [...]

Beach Finds and Beachscapes

Greetings! Yeah, it’s been another week without a blog. It’s been a week of recovery and housework and trying to get started again in the HW series. It took me several hours to remember what Marcus was searching for. I finally did and… oh but that’s another blog. Last weekend I was restless and [...]

November Favourites

I’m a winner baby! 53, 043 words and the story is finished. There’s a beginning, a middle (wherein all kinds of things that shouldn’t happen to Santa do) and an actual ending. I think there might even be a plot twist or two. It was all written as an exercise in creativity and sheer [...]

Architecture, Critters, Landscapes & Road Trips

[Edit: I'm sorry but the formatting seems to be fubar today and I'm not sure why. Thanks for your patience with it ) Good Sunday morning, folks! I hope this snowy morning finds you in better shape than I’m in today. I am exhausted and battling a migraine. A week ago today found me [...]
