I know you all can count. I’m just making the transition between referring to my child’s age in months and in years. I always smile to myself when parents refer to their kids’ ages in months when they’re multiple years old – since your average person doesn’t think in those terms. I figure it still…

Just for shivers…
I had something else I was planning to write about today, but then there’s this. (Sean found it, being the primary internet troller of the household.) It’s simply too bloggable to wait, especially on the heels of that last video. a) Doubt? Inhibitions? Ignorance??? Chemicals fix those!!!!!!! Why didn’t we think of this before?? Women…
Just for shiggles…
Here’s a little something I love. Folks… it’s the Drive-In Intermission! I can’t explain why I love it, since it’s quite awful… but I do. From the creepy happy “Yum yum” faces, to the attempts to make fast food sound nourishing, to the censorious “love bug” comment (you’d think this warning is really too late…
School Snippet #1
There is far too much to think about right now, so I’m going to leave it all responsibly for another time. For now, I’d like to indulge in one li’l thought I had last week whilst teaching (French) questions e.g., “Quel est ton film préféré?” I observed and surmised that Grade Four is a very…
The Tough Get Going – don’t they?
So there I was, thinking and blogging about being overwhelmed, and then my hubby had a cycling accident. Right on Father’s Day! Nothin’ like it to both worsen and improve my state of mind (and overwhelmedness). There was a chain mishap, and now he’s got a broken left wrist that will have to have a…
Happy Father’s Day to my Favourite Fathers!
To my dad, and the darling dad of my son… …thanks for being wonderful fathers. (The kind with a great sense of humour – and a distinct lack of megalomania.)
Feeling a Tad Overwhelmed
Whenever I’m feeling like I don’t quite have a handle on everything, it’s time to make a list. Just putting stuff next to bullets makes life seem more orderly. I am a chronic overcommitter. I’m performing tomorrow with Invoketress for the Belly Blush – a veil piece with a princess theme, ooh pretty. I have…
Requestion #4: What book broke your heart?
What was the first book that broke your heart? I was inspired to ask this question by a friend who wrote on her Facebook status that her son came downstairs sobbing one night, because Charlotte’s Web broke his heart. It’s a very special and sad thing to go through, especially when you’re young, with that…
Why I Don’t Love a Total Stranger
I was brought up to believe, as Quakers do, that all people have Light inside them. Even the ones you don’t like. It’s an idea that I remind myself of pretty frequently, especially when teaching; in fact, it helps to go one step further and remind myself that people have reasons for being the way…
Why I Love Emily Giffin
Emily Giffin is the author of The Heart of the Matter, Love the One You’re With, Baby Proof, Something Borrowed, and Something Blue. Her novels aren’t considered great literature – it’s what you would call “chick lit”, but I own all five of them and find them not only readable, but re-readable. Why I love…
