I really have a whole bunch of accounting to finish, but I had to share this pic of Zoe with you. Yup. She has a cone. If you look really closely, you can see the tip of my crutches through the cone. Picture it. Me, on my crutches, stumbling around, with my dog, in her [...]

So, yes, we have been a little quiet lately. Sorry. But that’s not the apology in the title. We are gearing up for the move from Westmount back to St. Laurent, and as you can imagine, there is a lot of physical work that is involved. Lots of running back and forth, organizing, cleaning, packing… Which [...]

Referred to as ‘crowdfunding’, this organization, Lucky Ant, allows people to pledge an amount of money to a business in their community. So every week, there will be a new business featured, with a funding goal that they need to achieve in order to take on a new project, like transforming a useless backyard into a [...]

I was driving back to the city around 6pm last night. It was already so dark out (yes, that whole ‘daylight savings time’ thing happens every year, but admit it, it stills sneaks up on you, am I right?), and the highway was quite empty, there was a chill in the air, and I was [...]

Is literally my new best friend. Sorry to all my other BFFs, but most some of you have already become besties with FNL so you know what I am talking about. I loved the movie, when it came out way back in 2004, and I heard about the TV series, which started in 2006. It [...]

I’m sorry Ginnifer Goodwin, but if your Manager, or Agent or “Peeps” aren’t going to do this for you, at least I can. You are, by all measures of beauty, pretty gorgeous. Take a look at some photos of Ginnifer and try and disagree with me… With hair… without hair… Really, really pretty, riiiight? [...]

Last night I had dinner at my sister’s and it was a perfect night for pizza and a movie. I happened to notice the VHS copy of Grease sitting under her TV and had a couple of thoughts. First, I thought “Who the hell still has a VHS player? Is that even what they’re called?” [...]

I should quickly preface this ENORMOUSLY long post by telling you all that we will be having some sort of celebration of our 10 year anniversary soon- probably in September, so stay tuned for more details about that. In the meantime, if you have an hour to kill… happy reading! 10 years. T.e.n. years. How [...]

Here are a couple of books that I have recently come across through friends, articles or the world wide web…. My sister Steph was the one who told me about this book, and I think she secretly wishes that she had a child young enough to read this to… Actually, she’s not THAT secret about [...]

Happy Passover everyone! Ok, well not everyone… just those who celebrate this Jewish holy day, which commemorates the Exodus from Egypt and slavery. I’m torn about the fact that I will not be having Seder dinner with my family tonight, as my parents are in the Bahamas, and (selfishly… ahahaha. just kidding!) neither my sister [...]
