Flowering Rhododendron bush in front of our house~ Surprises always “excite” me (I hate surprises–always have) and there’s been an abundance of them of late. Never knowing exactly what to expect of the coming day. Every day is a surprise–some are good–some not so good. This morning, for instance, I was working here on the [...]

Khaled Desouki “Everyone who wears shoes walks wrong,” says Adam Sternbergh, who wrote about shoes and human feet for New York magazine. AFP/Getty Images I love the reasoning behind why we started to wear high heels–to avoid one another’s excrement! My grandmother always encouraged us to go barefoot. Her son–my Dad– taught me to do [...]

Yes, the weather was outstanding this weekend past and it continues to be now that the official work week has started. I don’t have an “official” work week and at first I saw that as a bonus. Lately though I’ve realized how much I work online and how little I’ve tending to things offline. Yesterday, [...]

 This is my favourite Post Secret  postcard from this week: It took me a moment to “get it” but when I did, it made me laugh. I live with three males and I have no doubt that in a pinch a scenario like this is quite possible. In other “news,” I got drilled today. My [...]

I’m having mother fears in re: my 15-y.o. son and the route we’ve embarked on for the treatment of acute acne on his face and torso. There is now “permanent scarring” on his back and shoulders according to the dermatologist, and he is to be taken in for a blood test to check that his [...]

I have chronic rhinosinusitis (recurrent or long term sinus problems) so this information provided me with some interesting insights into possible treatments for mychronic rhinosinusitis including information about a product with positive results, Oasis Nasal Spray. Oasis Nasal Spray And Wash allows you to rinse and wash the nose which may help relieve symptoms of [...]

This week was odd, maybe because we had a huge shift in the weather–which I’m really hoping does not mean an outbreak of sick–oh, please no more sickness! But realistically, it’s only barely mid-March. We are a long way-from “home” yet in terms of sickness brought by abrupt seasonal switches from really cold to sunny-with-birds- [...]

I take the care and “feeding” of my hair very seriously. This isn’t a matter of having bad or even average hair or that I have to do a lot with it to make it presentable. No, in this one area I can say that I have a good head of thick, slightly wavy-with-good body [...]

Man, it totally has not helped that spouse brought home a bunch of Girl Scout Cookies including the new ones this year that I’d heard are good. And they are good. Damn it. Just call me the Cookie Monster. I wonder if they are still called Girl Guides in Canada. Let’s get them a link, [...]

Overnight it seems my entire face has decided to shed and it’s awful. Well, not horrible awful but definitely awful-looking. Actually, I could look at this as a good thing in that it is a signal that Spring is on the way. I’m not sure “how” my face knows this but with the major season [...]

It must be hormonal. I am beside myself with anger and I just do not know where it is coming from. Strike that. I might know. The pressure of spouse working 7 -days a week doesn’t just fall on him. Everything he would be doing if he were working a “normal” week is falling either [...]

Just got back from taking youngest son to the dentist to have a cavity filled. When It was over I called him a “brave little soldier” for declining Novocaine. He’s 6′ 4″ Not exactly a “little” anything. LOL. He declined for practical reasons. Novocaine (pain killer) leaves you in a bit of a mess, unable [...]
