I have, yet again, grown silent on here. I have a story to tell all of you, not entirely as an explanation of the silence, but just to give a snapshot of a tiny bit of my insanity. I had my regular follow up with my oncologist yesterday. For the past two weeks, I had … Continue reading Explanations…

HGTV “Lite”
My dad came up with the title of this post. I don't think he intended to, but he threw that descriptor of our work here out in the midst of a conversation, so I am stealing it. 🙂 The first stage of kitchen updating was the hideous, overhead, fluorescent lighting: On Wednesday evening, an electrician … Continue reading HGTV “Lite”
Playing Catch Up…
Yes, I know. I skipped two days of blogging. 🙁 My "under the weather" has turned into a massive deal, and I have no speaking voice left. My children are thrilled. They keep trying to get me to nod "yes" to things by piling on the questions while I cannot defend myself. I am writing … Continue reading Playing Catch Up…
Laughter…
Today, we have all laughed like loons. You know, the wonderful belly laugh that you can still feel hours later? Yes, that kind of laughter. First of all, this set us off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzypOnklG60 There's an entire video of voice overs that's also good for giggling, but this "Alan" scenario induces gales of laughter around here. … Continue reading Laughter…
The Zombie Apocalypse…
I'm on a truly bizarre thought train today. Even more bizarre than usual... It all started here: My friend shared this photo and said it depicted where she would be hiding in the event that zombies showed up all at once and decided to wreak havoc on all of us. This led me to all … Continue reading The Zombie Apocalypse…
Change Is Good, Isn’t It?
Those of you who know me in real life know that I am very attached to my quiet cup of coffee in the morning, outside with our dogs. It's time for reflection, appreciation, deep breathing. I wouldn't say I meditate, but it's pretty close some mornings. 🙂 Also, I'm Canadian. Well, we moved to the … Continue reading Change Is Good, Isn’t It?
The Key to Dental Hygiene…
Doesn't this sound like the most mundane of all blog posts? It's a misleading title, I'll grant you. I thought I would just give you all a window to the life we lead at home. Lara and I are pretty serious, driven people. We have a quirky sense of humour, both of us, and I … Continue reading The Key to Dental Hygiene…
Friday Philosophy…
I didn't even realize it was Friday, until I saw my Dad's "Friday Filosophy" blog post. 🙂 Tonight marks my daughter's very first school dance. You all should be proud - I am actually allowing her to attend (and she wants to attend). Some thoughts for today, and every day for that matter: Only those … Continue reading Friday Philosophy…
Immunity…
It would be awesome if I were writing this post about my own diplomatic immunity, or something equally "secret agent." Instead, it's the good old immune system. Before I knew I had cancer, I caught every cold, sniffle and flu going around. Each year, I would get worse and worse - the colds would turn … Continue reading Immunity…
Hail to the…Whaaatttt?!
We were decompressing with a little television around here, when a commercial came on today. Truthfully, we were not really paying attention to the ads. Other than Super Bowl, I mostly ignore commercials. The ending of this commercial, however, had Lara and I, jaws dropped, staring blankly at the television. All Hail the V. Pretty … Continue reading Hail to the…Whaaatttt?!
