why it's almost as if babies are people!
Mim is almost eight months old and is now separation anxiety and stranger anxiety city. I never had a big issue with either with Pippa so this is new territory for me, and it's kind of a terrible time for this to start, because I'm hoping to take my volunteer training course in just a few weeks, and while they offer free childminding I'm not sure ( Read more... ) -

IT'S A HOCKEY MORNING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Just watched the last episode of NHL Revealed and they do a close up of Sidney Crosby doing the sign of the cross. Is he Catholic? Interesting. Had a bit of spontaneous swooning going on, which is even more interesting because while I think Crosby is a good guy and an incredible hockey player I also kind of think he looks a bit... chipmunkish. Not ( Read more... ) -
I AM THE GREATEST PENITENT OF ALL TIME
I really want to watch the new episode of NHL Revealed but it's not available to stream on the CBC website. Boo.
Soooo that I guess leads into Lenten disciplines? Ha. I've been struggling to come up with something specific and concrete to undertake.
My first big thought was to read St. Augustine's Confessions which I started and never finished. ( Read more... ) -

So uh... I haven't updated for over a month.
Well. I turned 28. And we took a 2 week "staycation" thanks to the Inspiration Pass, which is a public library program here where you get free admissions to a lot of local attractions. I was on a wait list for a LONG time (like, 18 months) but I finally got it ( Read more... ) -

insult, meet injury.
So my last real post was the 14th (that post on the 19th was actually supposed to go into baby_names but I didn't realize it hadn't until just now, whoops. Wondered why I got no comments.) So in the two weeks since then... it's been pretty much the same thing. People get sick. They're getting better! HAHA JUST KIDDING NO THEY AREN'T ( Read more... ) -
Kellan? Kellain? Kellen?
If you follow hockey, you probably know about the recent Canucks/Flames game, in which a line brawl (everybody fighting) erupted immediately after the puck drop, resulting in eight people getting ejected from the game. One of the ones ejected was a rookie making his first ever NHL appearance, setting a record for quickest time from debut to ( Read more... ) -
set set that mom on the ground
It was a day where I was dealing with one super energetic toddler, one whiny and clingy and sick toddler, and one screamy and teething and sick baby ( Read more... ) -
in which Pippa and I have our first period drama bonding experience
BBC iPlayer, if you don't pay the $9/mo for unlimited access, rotates a number of episodes and movies for cheapskates to watch free and to hopefully entice them into subscribing. I've found some good stuff that way (like that there's a Charlie and Lola tv series) and some bizarre stuff (Rastamouse... just... Rastamouse ( Read more... )
