A little bit of OCD?

Posted on November 1, 2008
Filed Under Main

A few weeks ago, I sat outside and glanced over at the neighbor’s laundry hanging out on their line.  My bored mind noticed that she had used the same color pegs for each item on the line.  So, for example, a t-shirt was held up by two blue pegs and a pair of jeans was […]

On Sunday, Hubby and I took took the kids into Montreal to see my Mum and Stepfather.  We met up at Fairview Shopping Centre in Pointe-Claire, Quebec.  We had lunch there and visited a few shops. 
First things first: lunch.  We got most of it at Frank Supreme, which serves hamburgers, hotdogs, fries and such.  The […]

Something’s been bothering me.  It’s not anything that’s life-changing or life-or-death, but it’s a daily question mark for me and I’m now seeking an answer.  Can anybody help me?  Can anybody put this niggling question to rest?
Is it Mr Noodle or Mr Nuno?

I hate Elmo’s voice.

Support our Troops?

“Support our Troops“, the bumper sticker read.  It wasn’t the first time I’d heard that mantra and it certainly wouldn’t be the last.  But what does it mean?  What kind of support are we expected to provide our troops? 
Are we talking moral support?  You know, the kind of thing where we, as a country, make […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Snow sucks.  It really, really does.  Over the last week, we’ve had about 40 centimeters of the damn stuff and temperatures sometimes dropping to -25C.  That 25 degree BELOW zero. 
Since moving back to Canada, we’ve had two decent winters where it snowed and the temperatures did indeed drop, but this week has been terrible.  Definitely […]

Ketchup-less Big Macs

Why don’t they put ketchup on a Big Mac?  Every other burger gets it.
Poor Big Mac.
(The picture makes you a bit hungry, doesn’t it?)

Food Rules

And by that, I mean “the rules about food” rather than “food is great”.  Although it is, of course. 
I have always had a few food rules that I live by.  They never seemed strange to me, but having married and had a family of my own, I see that other people (read: Hubby) see things different […]

Test Tube Aliens: cool toy or waste of money?

Posted on November 15, 2007
Filed Under Main, Product Reviews

The other day, I mentioned wanting a Test Tube Alien for my birthday.  Although the packaging states that it is for ages 7 and up, I figured that my 35th was the perfect time to get this new toy. 
I asked for it, and I got it!
The alien I was given is called Yagoni and ‘he’ […]

The Litter Bugs Across the Street

Posted on November 11, 2007
Filed Under Complaints, Cornwall, Main

We, as well as our neighbors across the street, live at the very end of a street and so have no one on one side of us.  We love it, as we can almost imagine that we’re alone.  We’re loners, really. 
I was standing at the kitchen sink yesterday, washing some dishes, when I noticed the […]
