Sugar Cookies & Puppy Love

Well, my baking bonanza was a success. I spent the better part of 3 glorious hours in the kitchen, cutting out shapes, drizzling icing and sprinkling coloured sugar. It’s a good thing I had prepared and refrigerated the dough on the weekend when Melissa and Carvill and I had a cookie-baking day of our . . . → Read More: Sugar Cookies & Puppy Love

Countdown

{a little blurry, but I don’t mind.}

Christmas is almost upon us. Ten days to go. And the solstice is on Monday, which is definitely a special day for me, personally. I’ve spoken about my thoughts on the seasons before, and Yuletide is one of the major points on the wheel of the year. . . . → Read More: Countdown

Things I am thinking about this morning.

* Eating 10 pounds of sugar in the form of smarties, jub-jubs, cookies, etc. makes for quite the sugar-crash headache the next morning.

* Living in the moment seems a lot more fulfilling than freaking out, spending so much time planning for the future. Kyrie seems to do it pretty well. I think I should . . . → Read More: Things I am thinking about this morning.

In Between-ish

Well, I’ve definitely decided that telecommuting is worth giving another try. Though it is gonna take some getting used to, finding a new routine. I’ve been telecommuting for a few days now, but inevitably I’ve been spending the whole day in my PJs and feeling out of whack because of it.

Today I’m trying something . . . → Read More: In Between-ish

This time… Yes.

Okay, so, it’s no secret: I HATE MY JOB. I hate it up one side and down the other. I can’t even remember when I stopped liking it and started hating it. Was it one year ago? Two? More? And yet, I’ve been fighting with myself about it despite wanting to quit. I guess the . . . → Read More: This time… Yes.

Some Thoughts

I found myself feeling overwhelmingly philosophical this morning. More than usual, it would seem. Most of the time I keep my philosophical thoughts to myself. In our “modern” world, it has become something of a faux pas to start up a philosophical discussion. And with the frantic pace of 21st century lives, who really . . . → Read More: Some Thoughts

Have I Got Some News!

Well, well! I have some big news! The biggest news ever, actually. But first, let me start at the beginning.

So, this weekend was the (Dave’s and my) 3-and-a-half-year anniversary of our first date. I remembered that it was coming up a little while ago and so the two of us made plans to take . . . → Read More: Have I Got Some News!

Making the Big Choices

Safe or happy? Safe? Or happy?

That was the question that was twirling around my mind on the way home from physio yesterday. Do I choose a play-it-safe life or do I choose one that’s happy and fulfilled? Is there a way to choose both?

And what keeps holding me back from being my authentic . . . → Read More: Making the Big Choices

Oops, I did it again…

I know. I know what you’d tell me: There was absolutely nothing wrong with the old blog layout.

But well, I wanted a change. And I’ll admit it, the baby pink and blue was getting to be a little much, even for me. I may be a girly girl but I don’t need to shout . . . → Read More: Oops, I did it again…

Veggies for Everyone!

Dave and I joined a CSA this summer and we’re into week 3 of our veggie deliveries. It’s so fantastic to have all sorts of local, in season, fresh, organic goodness to eat every week. (Though we may be ODing on lettuce for the rest of the month.)

We’ve both been trying to get in . . . → Read More: Veggies for Everyone!

New Territory

Okay, here it is. I’ve gotten to a point that I’ve been to before but rarely, if ever, moved beyond. The dishes are under control, the laundry done, the apartment clean, tidy and organized. I so rarely get to this point. (Have I mentioned that already?) It is my normal state to be behind, trying . . . → Read More: New Territory
