Nope, not a new meme, I just couldn’t come up with a better title.
First, the contest news!
JennyMac is one of the best bloggers out there – I enjoy her so much. I don’t usually need much prompting to extol the many virtues of this brilliant, vibrant gal, and today is no different – its [...]

Welcome to “Silly Haiku Wednesday!”
Click here for info and background on this weekly event!
The basics:
Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)
This week’s theme is: Changes
My submission for this week:
Changes are coming
Because we’re not that silly
But what should it be?

Next week’s [...]

Actually, I can’t. I’m what you might call blind as a bat.
Myopia (near sightedness) with astigmatism (irregular shaped cornea) runs in my family on my mother’s side – every woman, and some of the menfolk, too, have extremely poor vision. I am no exception, so when I was about 9 years old, I got [...]

This second installment of the “Interview With…” series is all about Cate (Show My Face), of 6 Word Saturday fame.
I first “met” Cate early last year when I was a wet-behind-the-ears blogger looking for something to write about. I found her 6 Word Saturday meme on several blogs that I was following at the [...]

I’ve been asked a lot recently about who the folks I talk about on my blog actually are. I’m sure some of you wonder what the heck I’m up to sometimes, too.
It can get a bit tedious (for you as well as me) to explain relationships every time I mention someone, so to that [...]

Some days are diamonds. Priceless friends.

Yesterday was a long, long day.
Wee One and I arrived at ShaMoo’s for babysitting duty in the early AM, because her youngest son was due at Toronto’s Sick Kids hospital for a serious procedure that morning, and I offered to stay with Princess Little Bit. I won’t go in to the whole thing [...]

I was visiting Thom’s place this morning as I was doing my morning reading and he was talking about “Phobias”.
Like many people, I have a fear of heights. Mine is a modified fear though – I’m only afraid if there’s a chance I’m going to fall. I have no problems flying and being up [...]

Recently I organized a fundraiser for our larger choral group, which took place last night. That I didn’t have a camera on me will forever have me mentally kicking myself!!
I haven’t put together too many fundraisers before, all by my lonesome. Ok, I confess; this was the first one. The opportunity just hadn’t presented [...]

Jenn should learn to keep quiet.

I hurt a loved one’s feelings this week without meaning to – and I feel absolutely awful about it. He should know that I would never hurt him for the world, and that I am truly sorry.
P.S. Unrelated to yesterday’s post, in case you’re wondering!!
P.P.S. 6WS visitors – thanks for [...]

This post will only make sense to a small handful of people, so please feel free to ignore. (heehee, I have so much fun, don’t I?)
See, for a while now, I’ve been trying to get a certain someone to participate in the finer aspects of online life. Mostly Facebook, and, to some extent, this blog. [...]

Sitting here mulling things over today. I don’t feel like posting in great detail about the things that are bothering me, but maybe a wish list will suffice.
I wish…
…that we lived in simpler times
…that ShaMoo didn’t have so many things to worry about with her babies
…that true happiness was within my reach
…that I didn’t [...]

If this is showing up in your reader, can you swing by and let me know? My last 2 posts are NOT showing up for me in my reader.
Thanks much!

Wee One is my quiet, introspective child. Truth be told, she has a shyness issue, and new people and situations scare the bejeebers out of her. We’re working on it, and she has come a long way since last year.
But at home where it’s safe… my quiet child becomes a ROCK STAR!
A [...]

Along this journey of mine, in getting to know you all I’ve discovered that my readers and friends have more depth to them than a simple comment now and then can portray. This inspires me to delve deeper, and to that end I’ve decided to introduce a new “an Interview With…” feature. Let me know [...]

Thom tagged me with this Lucky Chinese Tag called “Eminent Eights”, so I guess I need to step up and do it!

Here goes:
8 TV shows I like to watch: (I don’t watch a lot of TV. Hrm.)

Heroes
Chuck
House
Breakfast Television (Toronto)
Little Mosque on the Prairie (shocker, eh?)
Anything Star Trek related

Oh my GOD – Facebook is BROKEN!! How will we fill our time? What will we do? Oh, there it is. Never mind.
