Ugh, I hate how my period makes me moody and extra sensitive.
Perhaps the pinky-purple daisies (in the photo above) that Aiden brought me on Tuesday were a preventative measure. You know, so that I wouldn’t rip his face off at the most minuscule of provocations.
I loathe women who use their cycle as an excuse to act like [...]

My mum has been here for almost 24 hours now, and so far, so good.
Last night after we got the kids to bed she sat and chatted with me while I worked on Aiden’s chainmail (the green and black, shown below) and has offered her assistance in weaving it. I was pleased that she appreciated my project, [...]

I do.
I also remember $2 bills, Atari, and rotary telephones.
That really has nothing to do with this post, except to point out that gaming systems have come along way since the early 80’s.
In 1982 we did not have cell phones, or the Internet, and we walked 3 miles to school each day, uphill, both ways.

Things I learned over the weekend:
Metal shoehorns will leave bruises with hardly any effort at all
People get kind of excited when you serve Cornish hens and leave them whole. Like “We get a WHOLE bird? Each?”
Kolach, while the most beautiful of breads, is less like bread and more like a giant pretzel
Even candles that are [...]

While I was tidying yesterday, I was rooting through a drawer, looking for the USB cord to my iPod, when I came across this broken ring. Initially I had planned to post only a photo of it, saying I had finally thrown it out, but that would really only mean anything to less than half [...]

I’ve hinted and mentioned here and there that Aiden and I have a certain amount of D/s in our relationship. For those of you who are maybe not familiar with the finer points of kink relationship dynamics, D/s refers to Domination and submission. One person in the relationship is the Dominant, and the other is [...]

I woke up early Saturday morning, packed up my things, left a goodbye note for my siblings, who were sleeping off our late night out, and then walked to the 7-11 on the corner for a coffee. Caffeine in hand, I walked to the skytrain station, bought my ticket, and waited for my train.
I got [...]

I am *really* behind on reviews, but better late than never I suppose. Anyway, to make up for the delay, I’m putting up some photos to go with this product, and it’s the first time in a loooooooooooooooooong time that I’ve included photos!
The 24 Inch Deluxe Leather Riding Crop (also known around here as ‘the [...]

Aiden drove me to the airport on Wednesday night so that I could catch my flight out to Vancouver. I had booked the trip in August, as I didn’t have a chance to see my siblings over the summer holidays, and I’ve missed them a great deal. It was also a great opportunity to hang [...]

Literally!

There really isn’t much to be done around here, aside from lounging in the sun, cruising the lake in the boat, strolling dirt roads with the dogs, and taking photos. This may sound terribly dull to some people, but Jack and I are taking full advantage of the opportunity to relax.

It’s been rainy and overcast here for the past two days, seriously limiting my photography opportunities. However, before the weather became so bleak, I did manage to snap a few photos from the boat and while wandering the area with the hounds.

Something about this photo makes me all tingly inside, and fortunately Aiden consented to me posting it for HNT. I don’t think the date stamp is accurate but I really couldn’t be bothered to remove it. Can you see why I can’t wait to get back to Ontario at the end of this month? 19 [...]

I’ve been without internet access for a couple of days while I spent some time in small-town Alberta with my Aunt. There is something to be said for watching the sun come up over vast fields of farm land while strolling down a dirt road with ones dogs. It was really beautiful there, a relaxing [...]

On Saturday morning we woke around 9:30am. The first order of business was to dial room service and have them bring up a $14 pot of coffee and a pitcher of ice water. As mentioned in my previous post, there were no coffee makers in the hotel rooms, and desperate times call for desperate measures.
The [...]

Journal Entry: Originally written on Thursday, March 26, 2009
I’m writing this from on board the plane. I’ve been awake since 3:30am and have already consumed at least 4 cups of coffee.
I caught a flight out of Toronto, to Montreal. I managed to make it through customs without a fuss. I’m always so lucky when it [...]

It’s no secret that I have an addiction to coffee. In order to fund that addiction I hoard change, even pennies, in case I am ever in desperate need of some caffeine, and nowhere near my own coffee machine. When I saw this coin purse at Krickets, in Calgary, I knew it would be the [...]

Some months back I was on the hunt for an egg poacher, after we melted the plastic cup parts of our last one. Wanting to find something a lot more durable, I went to my favorite kitchen supply store to poke around. One of the clerks pointed me to these awesome little silicone poach pods, [...]

We are already two months into 2009, and I’ve managed to cross half a dozen items off of my mini list thus far :) To summarize quickly, before launching into photos and details for most of them, here they are:
296. Watch all of the Harry Potter movies in a row
301. Take my kids to a Rainforest Cafe
317. Make [...]

Do you know what is awesome about raw foods? Totally guilt-free indulgence. And by that I mean ALL THE DESSERT YOU WANT!
That’s right. When you are eating raw, you can have cheesecake for breakfast and still have room to spare in your skinny jeans. In fact, I would say that most days, at least one [...]
