I love Facebook, don’t get me wrong, (well, I don’t love about as much as I actually love about it) but why do people feel the need to post every personal dilemma that happens there? It is not 200-1000 people’s business what happens to you.  Some of us need lessons in self respect. A great quote from a good movie called Easy A:  I don’t know what your generation’s fascination is with documenting your every thought… but I can assure you, they’re not all diamonds.… Continue reading

With reference to badgering

As a writing exercise, I am trying to summarize in one sentence the plot of my best seller novel to come. I will give you a sneak preview: “A ” If you can envision a cursor blinking in the area immediately following the space and directly before the quotation mark, this is what I have been staring at for about 20 minutes now. Well, 18, if you count the time I took out to recover from the a very timely and eerie nosebleed. “Lol”, as… Continue reading

Jesus, not a New Years Resolution Blog Already

The word of the day is: DEMONSTRATIVE.  Actually, just ‘demonstrative’.  People should never use all-caps for emphasis unless they are really angry and writing hard onto an actual piece of paper and then doing what I do which is to scribble in angry circles all over the all-cap after I’ve written it real big, then throwing it in the fire and giggling. What it means, according to some dictionary anyway, is: de·mon·stra·tive  (d-mnstr-tv) adj. 1. Serving to manifest or prove. 2. Involving or characterized by demonstration. 3. Given to… Continue reading

Music Heals Your Soul, the Universe and a Waterfall with a Rainbow

With regards to my post the other day, I got my friggin’ wedding dress.  Unsure of why exactly, but I’ve been feeling like a rotten old bag of throw-up ever since.  Maybe because this signifies that we are in PLAN IT ALL NOW OR SUICIDE YOURSELF mode.  I am the worst planner of all things.  I am actually better on my feet than if I rehearse 100x.  I hate taking control and I like when everyone plans things for me.  Unfortunately, we are BrokeBank Mountain… Continue reading

A girl I know suggested The Brides’ Project, a “no bullshit” place for shopping for wedding dresses.  I agree wholeheartedly with the idea of this.  The gowns are donated about 2/3 of them brand new by their partners and about a third by brides, therefor able to be price-capped, and then the money the bride pays goes to cancer charities.  We’ll be heading there this weekend (with any driving luck) to check some out and hopefully find the dress of my dreams.  This one: Damn… Continue reading

I start to feel old when the hydro company sends me an information packet complete with off-peak times graphed onto stickers and I wish they instead sent me magnets. The dog has a habit of scrambling up in a clamour when I move my foot or even when we look a different way than we have been.  She also has a habit of being right at your feet when you haven’t been paying enough attention to notice her creeping up. She’s like a fluffy and more… Continue reading

Chiminey Cricket and the No Thank You Blues

I saw an episode of Holmes Inspection (actually, it was a two-parter) about a couple who had a seemingly gorgeous house, but it was terribly inefficient and also their bedroom was not reinforced so it was bound to one day collapse into their kitchen.  There were heat and water leaks everywhere, as well as squirrel and mouse droppings throughout their attic, and their electrical panel was older than time itself.  So of course, the team went all out and gutted the entire place, even re-shingled… Continue reading

Good idea, to whichever spammer suggested I put a Facebook ‘Like’ button on the posts.  (There are  a LOT of spammers.  I’m sorry if as a commenter I one day confuse you for one.  Just hiss at and scold me and I will learn the real deal.) We’ll get around to adding the Like button eventually. I’m very quiet lately, and for this I apologize.  Miklos found me a Blackberry Playbook for an incredible deal and I am in love with BookReader (sorry Kobo; read… Continue reading

Still Plenty of Time

I’m tired of ugly cheesy Christmas store-bought decorations, so I’ve decided to try my hand at making my own ugly cheesy ones at home.  Searching the WWW for inspiration, I have found two incredibly neat sites with posts full of great ideas: 20 in 20 – 20 DIY decorations in 20 days. Hmm.  Do-able. Holiday Decoration – A bunch of ideas, all of which I want to try. So cool.  I’m ready.  This makes Christmas a hell of a lot more fun for an adult with no… Continue reading
