I think God and Canada Post and Nicole have all conspired to turn my bad day around. After an absolutely horrible start to my morning (a time-out for Luke beginning before he was even finished his breakfast) and then the worst moment thus far of my parenting career, I was feeling like absolute crap. Like [...]
I’m pretty sure this is the universe paying me back for that Saturday my brothers and I dressed up in my mom’s bathing suits and put on her make-up and paraded around the front yard. At least I’m like my dad, who also had the presence of mind to capture such a “memory moment”. [...]
Please take a moment to appreciate the time and effort it took for me to deflour my kitchen:
At lunch today Marc revised his “to do” list. It now has only one number. And behind the #1 is the name “Dixie”. Idn’t that sweet?! (But, now I can’t stop thinking about those bathroom shelves that need to be put up…)
At first I was going to scan the “to do” list that Marc made yesterday, but if you saw our computer desk, you’d know why I decided against that (perhaps “clean computer desk” should be #7). Instead I brought the list downstairs with me to type out. But then, in the middle [...]
We just received in the mail a birth announcement for a baby born to Marc’s best friend from when he lived in Holland. Here is what I make of it:
Finne is Geboren op Donderdag 21 Februari 2008 om 11.23 uur
Finne (the baby’s name, I assume) is born on Saturday (I just checked the calendar, [...]
I haven’t done a Mary Kay order in almost a year. And apparently I’m not even an “active” member — not that I was ever active when I was active. But when I got the spring/summer catalogue I was deeply saddened to see two things:
1) They are discontinuing their old face colours (eyeshadow/blush).
2) [...]
So somehow I found this through Randall today. (I still don’t understand his Worldwide Randall Friesen Feed, but this came up on my Bloglines today…) I haven’t really looked around at the site, though it does look like you could be seriously creative over there. I did, however, try to make my [...]
This morning I had an interview at our hospital’s volunteer services. I’d initially thought that I’d love to volunteer in the maternity ward, as my heart goes pitter-patter every time I step into that place. But then I got to thinking… I should be volunteering where there is need (and where my gifts [...]
When we began eating the mini Cadbury creme eggs I purchased for half price this afternoon:
I bought the mini ones because the creme to chocolate ratio is always too much, plus they cost less than the regular ones per gram.
I guess you’ll either love me or hate me after that.
