Good Things Happen When I've Had Some Sleep
So this morning, Derek took a mental health day so when both kids were awake and I was barely up, he told me to go back to bed. I haven't slept like that in months ( Read more... ) -
Yes, I know. This proves I'm Mentally Ill
Somoeone posted a link to a huge pile of countdowns for the big holiday on another site I go to and I could not resist posting it here.

Rambling about Appearances
The other night I was watching something on TV (although right now I can't recall what) about going to the theatre. The people were dressed up like this was a social occasion and not just a regular old thing. Then today, on a community board I was on, someone was lamenting they hoped the annual sports dinner ($100+/plate) they had bought tickets ( Read more... ) -
Thinking Politics
After a point, all this media talk about the economy and markets is just talk. They repeat themselves so often that it becomes meaningless. We've heard it all. At the same time, they also yap about the federal elections like it's a completely separate issue, but I'm not sure they are so exclusive ( Read more... ) -
My Favourite Olympic Event
It came down to the last 100m, but Simon Whitfield is coming home from Beijing with the Men's Triathlon silver medal. In the last sprint, Frodeno from Germany had enough left in the tank to pull ahead at the 75m mark. It was a hard and strong finish for both men ( Read more... ) -

I imagine it's just a hassle for the rest of you to have to re-adjust. -
An Open Food Survey
1. What do you think is the most impressive/delectable/wonderful thing you know how to cook/bake? You know, the thing you make for special occasions or company or when you just need really great eats for a mental lift.
I get compliments on my baking so that would be the easy answer. Derek's family really likes the cookies I make; at this point, I ( Read more... ) -
What a Crappy Trade and Deserved Fallout.
Lowe screwed the Edmonton Oilers this week when he traded their heart and soul away over a reported 100K. It's so sad to see Captain Canada in a Islanders jersey. He should've been first priority to resign. They'll lose money in ticket sales and merchandise with him gone. This is the younger generation's version of the Wayne Gretzky trade. So very ( Read more... ) -
One of Those Quiet Still Moments!
It's 840 am. I'm awake, loving a glass of orange juice, while my boys are both still in bed. It's a surreal experience to be awake in the morning before my son like this. LOL ( Read more... )
