Just A Blurb*
(image found at: http://media.dorks.com/content/pic/d5282007/too_ashamed.jpg) So, remember that time when I used to write blog posts on a regular basis? Haaa… I almost can’t because it’s been like A WEEK. I’m terrible, I know. Life has been… exciting! Last week was full of work and volunteering, but I ended up with a four day weekend and it was SO nice. The Hubster and I decided to make good use of it and took a little road trip to visit my cousin and her husband. To put it simply, it was fabulous. We laughed, ate way too much, talked, shopped and let the boys duke it out on some NHL PlayStation game.…

Shop Girl Shares Girl With The Red Hair & Lowercase L
(image found at: http://runninginheels.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/carrie.jpg) So everyone and their mother started Nablopomo yesterday… (Nablopomo = National Blog Posting Month) …except me. Normally I’d be all over this stuff, especially since one of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2009 was to blog every day for a year. Yeeeah. About that… (oops.) I’ve been busy. LIFE has been busy… and I find that when I feel like I have to write, I write less. Weird, no? I don’t like the pressure. This is where I come to relax, not to stress about word counts or daily posts. That being said, that doesn’t mean I won’t be participating in my own way. Today was…

Trick or Treat?!
When I was 13, my mom told me it was time to stop trick or treating. At the time I was devastated… how on earth could I survive November without a pillow case of candy hidden in my closet? Sad, I know. Eventually I got over being the voluntold candy-hander-outer and for years Halloween wasn’t really a big deal. I learned that sneaking candy out of the family’s candy bowl was kinda fun and I didn’t really need all the dress-up stuff, and didn’t bother dressing up until my first year of university (on the night the Hubster and I first saw each other!) and I became the “Lady bug…

World’s Worst Driver?
**I’ve heard a lot of grumbling about people generally disliking Disqus– the comment system I currently have on my blog. If the majority of you don’t like it, I’ll happily switch back to the Blogger comments (it just makes it more difficult for me to individually respond to your comments). Please take a second to let me know your thoughts by voting on my poll! :) –> Driving is not always the easiest thing in the world, but it’s definitely not rocket science either. We’ve all had our “Oops!” moments, but I’m a pretty cautious driver–I don’t really trust anyone around me on the road. I’ve seen too many stupid…

Five Cents, Please*
(image found at: http://iloveeco.typepad.com/.a/6a00e550ca9fed88340112790ddbb728a4-800wi) “Would you like a bag for that?” This has become my new closing statement as I complete transactions in my store. Some people simply smile, and nod, grateful that we offer bags at all. Others shake their head and tell me they’d prefer to take a box. That’s awesome. Then there is the third group of people who inevitably respond to my question with, “Are you charging for bags?” “Yes. They are five cents.” They then look at me like I’ve broken into their bank and stolen all their retirement money, grumble about the high price and throw their money or credit cards down on the…
