Foot Injury Update
Ok, so you know how that doctor told me my foot was broken and sent me for x-rays? Turns out my foot isn’t broken. I went to get x-rays the day after he told me to. Two weeks go by and I’ve heard nothing. Meanwhile I’m paranoid about my foot and start imagining that it…

Surprise! Your Foot Is Broken
Yup. 3 weeks ago I dropped a very heavy coffee table on my foot. Pain and really awesome bruising ensued (I even took photos!). My foot turned a delightful shade of purple, and I couldn’t touch it…not even to put an ice pack or cold cloth on. I thought nothing of it, and went on…

Do you like the Madonna look?
I totally have an eyebrow malfunction. I went to the spa on Friday to get my lashes and eyebrows tinted, and the girl left the dye on too long and now I have super-dark eyebrows that make my (already unusual, but natural) hair look like it’s fake-blonde. Lovely. I don’t know whether to laugh or…

Avast, ye scallywag!
I went to the Pirate Festival last weekend and have been meaning to post some photos of my booty! …Not that booty, guys! Sheesh! The haul is as follows: Handmade chainmail necklace (yes, that’s me modelling it in my pirate garb) Next up we have a beautiful handmade beaded necklace. The woman actually strung the…

Delicious Roast Beast
That’s right, I said beast! It’s a family tradition, after all… I love roast beast, it’s actually one of my favourite meals, come to think of it. It’s right up there with a turkey dinner with all the fixin’s and pizza. Yummo! One of the bloggers over at Wisebread wrote a great post on roast…

A Financial Reckoning
So I’ve been whinging on here lately that I don’t know where all my money is going, my savings are depleting, yadda yadda. Well tonight I finally sat down and took stock of everything. I’ve had to reevaluate some things and cut others out completely, but I think I have a plan in place now…

Sleeman Summerfest Recap
So last night was pretty cool. Almost everyone I invited to Summerfest showed up last night, so we all sat around and listened to a band and drank beers, then myself and my friend M’s husband J graduated to double whiskey & coke’s, getting smashed and talking about cooking the whole time. It was totally…

I love vinyl wall stickers. Oh yes.
I just can’t help myself, I’m in love with the wall stickers over at Loomis/DeSerres. There’s a shop right near my office and I walked by the other day and caught my eye on their window display. I went in and picked up a booklet on all the designs available and now have sticker lust…

Spider Attack!
I witnessed a murder in my apartment today. And I got it on film. In case you were wondering why my bathroom looks so disgusting, I shall remind you that I live in a giant old Victorian-era house. It’s well over 100 years old and has many nooks and crannies where the debris of life…

And I’m Back!
Thanks for your well-wishes everyone, I certainly appreciated them! Finding out that I needed(?) surgery again was a hard pill for me to swallow. While I don’t regret getting LASIK done the first time, it was (and still is) the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I have a terrible phobia of…
