Big Birthdays*
I really wanted to write this yesterday, but I was so tired by 4pm that I went to take a 10 minute nap… and slept for nearly an hour and a half. Then the Hubster and I went on a date night to see Date Night (more on this later) and it was just late when I got home. There really aren’t enough hours in the day. Anyway. I’m not usually one to make a big fuss about my birthday. In recent years the Hubster and I have just celebrated together by spending the day together and going out for dinner. He always buys me beautiful flowers and a thoughtful…

Strike A Pose*
I have a confession: Sue Sylvester rocks my world. If you are not yet watching Glee, oh… YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU’RE MISSING! I’m convinced it’s the best show on TV right now, especially after my beloved Ugly Betty gave it’s last performance last week. *tear Anyway. I could rave and rave about how glorious Glee is, or I could just let you see for yourself. This week was a tribute to Madonna, and my favourite character did an AMAZING remake of her Vogue video in the episode. I thought it was pretty close when I watched the show, but when I found this video playing the two side…

Parcel*
Once upon a time, many moons ago, I had a doll. Now, this may not seem terribly out of the ordinary as most little girls have dolls at some point in their lives. Throughout my childhood I had Barbies, Polly Pockets, Jem dolls, Cabbage Patch Dolls, dolls that could eat, walk and wet themselves, and then there was a whole array of stuffed animals that lined the back of my bed. But before the barbies, Ragedy Annes, and even the cabbage patch dolls, there was Parcel. When I was a very little girl of perhaps four or five years old I had a favourite doll. She couldn’t bend, open or…

Two Teachers– Too Far?
I actually first heard about this a while ago, but I wasn’t writing much at the time so I read it, ranted to the Hubster about how much it bothered me, then forgot about it. Yesterday I found it again, and still felt the uncontrollable urge to rant and vent after seeing it (again) so I thought I’d share it with you and get your take on it. I am a teacher. I love teaching. I like to think that this profession chose me instead of the other way around which makes me feel just a little less dismal about the whole there-are-absolutely-no-jobs-in-the-greater-Toronto-area bit. Because I mean really, what choice…

I Fibbed*
(via: http://www.tvworthwatching.com/werts/white%20christmas%20tv.jpg) Remember that time when I told you that Christmasy things weren’t going to happen in my house until December first? How I was going to wait this year? Well, I made it to November 19th. (which really is like an insane record for me as I have begun listening to Christmas music in August in past years. I like Christmas. Don’t judge.) And really, it wasn’t even really my fault. I had had a really crazy stressful week, felt like a terrible sister for bailing on a road trip I was supposed to go on and I needed a little Christmas to make things better. So, after a…
