    The Tribe is Growing*

    As you may (or may not) know, I very recently had a birthday and just turned 23 years young. With birthdays usually come presents and well wishes from family and friends. Well dear readers, I am about to tell you why I have the best mother-in-law ever. In March I shared my secret with you. I was with the Hubster’s Mom when I first discovered this passion and began collecting. I don’t get out to antique barns very often (which is where they are often located) so I only get one or two a year. However, the Hubster’s Mom is amazing and collected not one, but FOUR new “Indian” dolls…

    Summer of Reading*

    I love summer. During the lovely, lovely months of May, June, July and August I have no classes which in turn means that there are no dreaded assigned readings. Which are almost guaranteed to be boring unless they are with my most favourite professor ever who makes everything delightful. Anyway, I digress. I take advantage of these four months to reestablish my love of reading that each school year inevitably destroys. Word to the wise–if you love reading, never ever become an English major. I decided that as I am reading like CRAZY this summer (especially as I now get paid to sit in the sun and read) I’d keep…

    Chapter Four* …Holy Toot! I’m Engaged!!

    Whenever I ask to hear about someone else’s proposal story, or even when someone asks to hear mine, the story always seems to end at “Will you marry me?”. Of course that’s when all the suspense and waiting ends and when (I hope) the happily ever after begins. But I think there is always a little more to a proposal story… I’m always interested to know what happens after he (or she) has popped the question. Did he drop you off at home with a wave and say, “see you at the chapel”? Or was the proposal only the beginning of a wonderful evening together? You see, what happened after…

    Yo Mamma!

    It’s been a busy day but I wanted to leave you with a little something. I’m on the lookout for fun personalized license plates. I found this one recently and fell in love. Best of all–it’s parked outside a senior’s building. haha!! Seen any good ones lately? Shop Girl*

    Canada D-eh?

    I thought I’d be clever with my little name there. Heh. Well, here we are again. First things first–to all my Canadian readers: Happy Canada Day!! I celebrated over the weekend with Gene and Pog in the Great White North… up there they have a big celebration at the lake with fireworks, live music and all sorts of exciting things. It was glorious! My trip north was wonderful… I had a lovely visit with Grammy and finally had a chance to really reconnect with Gene, whom I have missed terribly these past few years. We just sat at my house and talked for hours. I hearted it. :) I also…
