Chasing Waterfalls

There could not have been many people at home this afternoon in Dartmouth. Neal and some guys from the ship were having a competition over at the indoor gun range, and I headed over to MicMac mall to look for something to wear for New Year’s. The mall was packed. I drove up and […]

I’m sitting here trying to come up with a plan for supper this week so that I can make my grocery list and go get said groceries.
Have I ever mentioned that I HATE planning suppers? Quite frankly, I just don’t have enough meal ideas. I’ve grown to love the Kraft Canada website with their […]

This cold is whipping my ass, people. I was a bit on the rundown side yesterday at work, but I wasn’t really too bad. But then, I got to sleep an hour longer than I normally do on a workday because of my dentist appointment, and then I got to lie in the chair at […]

Some of you may recall this entry where I wrote about my teeth wiggling a bit and my subsequent panic. Although it’s true that that particular tooth that was causing me the most worry ended up stabilizing, or whatever, I was noticing that various teeth would wiggle, or “click” into place every so often. I […]

Like most people (I would hope), I love Christmas. This year was different, because it was my first Christmas away from “home”, but I figure that as long as you spend it with someone you love, then it is the most wonderful day. Since I spent mine with Neal and Milo in our home, yesterday […]

I propose that we play a game! I baked gingerbread cookies yesterday, and Neal and I decorated them. I couldn’t find a person cookie cutter, so I used a bear instead.
As we decorated, a few famous people and a few personages appeared (mostly thanks to Neal, the artiste in this relationship). Can you guess […]

Nothing all that exciting happened today, but it was a good day nonetheless. Neal and I slept in this morning, we had french toast for brunch, we both did a bit of cleaning, and I did my major Christmas food shopping (despite the amount of money I spent today, I am resigned to the […]

I’m trying to prepare myself to leave the comfort of home and go to the most horrific of stores days before Christmas… Wal-Mart. I have never been a big “shopper”. Sure, I like to get new stuff, and I love buying gifts for people, but I like to go into a store knowing […]

One year ago today, I went to work thinking it would be a day like any other day. I was excited because Christmas was coming up, and in a couple of days, Neal and I were going to get on the road to head to Montreal where he would meet my family. Including Nanny.
One year […]

I have finished my Christmas shopping!
… Well, almost. I do still want to get a few more things for Milo. I’m thinking that I’ll be brave (or stupid) on Friday and go to Wal-Mart. The one near us is open 24 hours a day though, up until Christmas Eve, so I may make use of […]
