The weather outside is frightful.

 Ahhhhh.  Fresh crisp air.  Breathe it in!  "MMM....AHHHHHHH......."
What an incredible day.  
Nothing like spending a beautiful fall day at a pumpkin farm!  This is the best.

 Oh how I love Hallowe'en!  Running around from house to house filling my bag with candy.  
I mean....filling the KID'S bags with candy :)
It's a little bit cold, and rainy.  Kind of wish it wasn't raining.  But that's ok!  Still a gorgeous evening!

 Off to girls night!  
Hmmm....should I wear a coat?  Nah!  It's not THAT cold.  I'll just run into the restaurant really fast.

Oh shit....that's cold.  
That's ok though!  I'll survive!  I'm a tough cookie.

 Santa Claus Parade!  Yayyy!!!
Glad I bundled up.  It's nipply out here.
Still a fabulous evening!  Fireworks, music, Santa!  So much fun!
But damn...... my toes are flippin' cold.
I wish I remembered to bring my hot paws. 
Frig, that's cold.
I wonder how weird it would be to take my boots off and hold my feet against my hot chocolate.....?

 A snow storm?
But it's only November 17th??
Wow....ok..... that's early.
It does look pretty though.
And our snowman outside is super cute.  Too bad Molly ate the carrot.  
I'm sure this storm was just a one-off.  Back to sunshine tomorrow I'm sure!  This will all be melted in no time :)

Snow day!!  No school?  Really?
This is kind of annoying.
Well, I'm sure we won't have ANY more snow days this year.  I will bet you a million dollars!

 We are all sick.
I have no more kleenex.
I blame the snow day.  
For EVERYTHING >:(

 
December 24, 2014

Finally!  Christmas is HERE!  Yay!!  Something positive to distract from all this disgusting snow and cold!  I am sooo happy!!!


December 26, 2014

Christmas is over :(  I am sooo sad :(



December 27, 2014

 I refuse to let this cold weather bring us down!  We will not be prisoners of our own home!  We will go to Santa's Village and have an incredible time!

Santa's Village is cold.
The horse ride stinks of poop.
We are covered in slush.
We have to pee in out-houses.  My ass gets stuck to the toilet seat.
I have snot-snicles.
I want to go home.

 Another massive snow storm.
And another snow day.

As for that million dollars....I was TOTALLY kidding :/


January 13, 2015

 Hair day!  Ahhh...I always feel better with freshly bleached roots!  
I look soooo fabulous!  I wonder if my hair will stay styled until tomorrow??

The wind and snow flattens my gorgeous 'do the second I leave the salon.
This is where I draw the line.
Nobody messes with Leo's hair! NOBODDYYYYYYY!!!!!



 January 29, 2015

 I can't see the road!!
Am I even driving on the right side??
Is that a moose?? 
Oh my God....did I just run out of windshield washer fluid??  
SCREW YOU WEATHERRRRRR!!!

 Another storm.  You can handle this Leo.  Take a deep breath.
It's almost Spring....
February 9, 2015

 I slowly walk to my bedroom window at 7am.
"Please don't let there be snow outside....please don't let there be snow outside...."
I look at the end of my driveway which has 2 feet of hard snow piled up from the snowplow that went by earlier.
I walk away quietly with my head down.

 "Mommy??  Are you crying??"

 "Bruce Lee!  Bruce!  Brucie!  Where are you buddy?  Let's go for a walk!!"

 "Bruce?"

 "BRUCE!!"

 I walk into the family room and see Bruce Lee hiding under a blanket.  Only his little nose is poking out.  

 And I finally realize that Bruce is the only one who's handling this weather correctly.

So if you need me, I will be hibernating like Bruce until winter is over.

See you in Spring suckers!!

This. Is. London.

The year was 2000.   I was 24 years old. I had a huge job in a pharmaceutical company and was quickly heading up the corporate ladder.     During the week I busted my ass at work, which meant I made the rich corporate big wigs even richer (insert eye roll here).   It was very stressful but I worked damn hard every day to prove myself.   But on the weekends, well….. the weekends were a different story.   The weekends were my escape.     After university, my best friends and I quickly became infatuated with the Toronto nightclub scene.   It was the perfect escape for us.   The music, the people, the clothes, the dancing…..it was all so grand, so loud and so fun.    Completely the opposite of our corporate lives. We just craved it all the time.   We couldn’t get enough! You can imagine that going back to work on Monday was just awful. Not only was my body still filled with Red Bull and Vodka, but I swear that I could still feel the pumping of the music’s ba

Standing in the Dark.

“Are you sitting comfortably??   ….then we’ll begin.” Song:    It Doesn’t Really Matter. Artist:   Platinum Blonde. It was a quiet afternoon at the cottage.  Lola was reading on the hammock outside and Molly and I were coloring at the kitchen table. My cousin Julie suddenly barged in.  “Do you know who’s playing in town tonight??” she announced. Molly and I looked up startled. Julie yelled, “PLATINUM BLONDE!!” I gasped and dropped my fuschia-coloured crayon. Next to Guns N’ Roses, Platinum Blonde was a close second on my favorite bands list.   Songs like Standing in the Dark , It Doesn’t Really Matter and Situation Critical  were the theme songs of my youth as I regularly blasted them on my boom box in the 80's. I couldn’t believe that this iconic band would be playing in our tiny town of Haliburton!?  I could only hope that my children would be so kind as to attend

Remember when you used to blog?

"Remember when you used to blog?  Those were the days....." This is what a dear old friend recently wrote to me on Facebook.   I was shocked.  Shocked that this person who I respected and liked so much even read my blog, or even knew that I had one.  And incredibly humbled and honoured that he took the time to send me that simple little line. I stared at the computer and re-read his words over and over again.  His comment had sent a wave of emotions running through me. And I'm sure he had no idea, but he had said exactly what I had been feeling for the past year and a half.   I must have re-read that sentence 20 or even 30 times.  And when I finally felt l like I had tortured myself enough,  I closed my eyes, took a deep  breath, lifted my head, put my hands on my keyboard.........and starting writing.   Again. -------------------------------------------------------------- Writing had always been a source of healing for me.  Since I was a little girl, I h
