I can scarcely believe it, but it’s now been two years to the day since we happily added Felix, Oscar, and Grisabella to our little family. Yes, two years already! Time certainly does fly – or, more accurately (at least in our case), race around the house in a furry frenzy. [continue reading…]
You know, it’s been kind of a rough couple of weeks. My cough and cold have been ongoing (albeit to a lesser degree this past week than the one before), as have Peter’s, and we’re both getting quite tired of the whole situation. I’ve only been out of the house twice [continue reading…]
This past week was Shrove Tuesday, referred to by some as Pancake Day and also known – at least in my part of the country – as Pączki Day. I’d never even heard of pączki before we moved to Windsor, but as it turns out this yummy Polish pastry is [continue reading…]
My choice for today’s Photo Friday challenge prompt of “Gray” was taken during my visit to Victoria, BC last fall. I passed this set of steps on my way to somewhere else, and just had to turn back to capture their message in a photo.

You might remember when I wrote earlier this year that I would not be attending BlogHer ’15 this summer. It was tough to come to that decision, and I was (and still am) incredibly disappointed to have to miss out on what has become a much-anticipated [continue reading…]
Welcome, welcome, to another Wildcard Wednesday! You know, I’m really enjoying this new little Alphabet Salad tradition – the anticipation of seeing which “happy” items you end up with each week is surprisingly fun for me, so thank you for [continue reading…]
Welcome to another Tangled Tuesday – glad to see you again! I’m feeling a whole lot better than I was last time when I decided to take a bit of a break, and I’ve been doing some tangling here and there over the past couple of weeks, so let’s get on with it! [continue reading…]
When e-books started becoming a “thing” several years ago, I swore up and down that I would never get one. Books in their physical form have always held a sort of magic for me, and no matter how much I might love my other electronic gadgets, I couldn’t [continue reading…]
Did you know that today – February 15th – is National Flag of Canada Day? And that this year – 2015 – just happens to mark the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of Canada’s flag? It seems like an appropriate opportunity for me to highlight my beautiful country, [continue reading…]
Well, so far February has been a bit of a bust for me in terms of photography, as finding the energy while sick to come up with something new in response to daily challenge prompts took a back seat to trying NOT to cough up a lung! Rather than [continue reading…]
You might have expected that I’d select one of my many photos of the oh-so-adorable Felix and Oscar for today’s Photo Friday “Faces” challenge prompt – and I almost did, as there were a couple that I thought were perfect – but in the end I decided to head in an [continue reading…]
Happy Thursday! I’m feeling a whole lot better than I have for the past several days – I was actually able to go back to work today AND my appetite and tastes are slowly returning to something other than those of a picky toddler. (Seriously – in addition to [continue reading…]
Well, I’m now going into my fourth full day of this ever-so-lovely (NOT) cold, and can’t say that I’m feeling any better at all. This morning I fed the cats and brushed my teeth, and after that major exertion was ready to go back to bed! And I think I forgot [continue reading…]
Hello, Tangled Tuesday followers! I do have a bunch of stuff to share, but this cold is sapping all of my energy (not to mention brainpower), so I’ve decided that I’m going to save them up and include them in next week’s post. Hope you’ll stop by then!
Well, the cold I mentioned yesterday decided to hit me full-force today, so thank goodness for the whole MicroblogMondays (emphasis on the micro) thing… because the idea of sitting at my laptop for any length of time – not to mention actually using my brain [continue reading…]
It started out with a little tickle in my throat on Friday… progressed with a sneezing fit (that freaked out poor Oscar) on Saturday… then developed into sinus pain, mild headache, sore throat, slight muscle aches, and the beginnings of a cough, all of which [continue reading…]
The other day I was digging through the contents of several as-yet-unpacked boxes stored in our basement (hey, it’s ONLY been three years since we moved in!), and came across something I haven’t looked at in what feels like forever – a gathering of [continue reading…]
