A long day, spent finalizing the most recent project while simultaneously coping with two violently ill toddlers and a bored tween. By 4 PM, headache was setting in… the kind that bends you over and kicks you in the butt for not immediately donning face masks and latex gloves the moment nearby small children started [...]

Many moons ago, I found and signed up for SuperViva. One of the items I added in my “life list” was that of making a map of all the places I have lived, and another of all the places I hope to one day visit.
I’ve almost completed the one for all the places I’ve [...]

“Family” is not determined strictly by blood or law. Sometimes friends are more “family” than our closest blood relatives.
Love and sex are not the same thing, nor are they necessarily mutually inclusive. They can exist independently and simply for their own sake.
The only “perfect” partner in life is a teddy bear; be prepared [...]

Where to start…
I now live in a tiny town about 20 minutes outside of the main ‘burbs, and this place is almost incestuous in its everyone-knows-everyone-and-everyone-else’s-business-ness… as the “new girl”, I am looked upon funny.

Yesterday, some very positive things happened.
First:
My open work visa arrived in the mail. Not only does this mean I can now seek employment with any entity I choose without having to jump through all the hoops, it also means I am good to stay in Canada for another year while I finish sorting out [...]

…and, apparently, for cracking ribs.
Snowed this weekend while I was at Tre’s with the kids, celebrating the twins’ birthday.
When we returned this afternoon, I slipped and fell on the truck tailgate as I was trying to grab some of their gifts to bring inside.

Man, don’t the years just seem to fly by so much faster as you get older?
Hard to believe 2004 is already gone, but perhaps that is for the better. It wasn’t exactly a shining era for humanity.

Last night, a little after midnight, I was laying in bed reading a bit before going beddy-bye. Suddenly, Tre (who had previously been in the living room watching the tube) came crashing into the room,
