Personality!!!

I did one of those personality tests on FB and failed!! How can you fail a personality test? Does that mean that you have no personality? Here’s what happened. First, I love the colour red. My last two cars have been red, which means that I have been driving a red car for the last […]

Food

Where have all the calories gone….

…..or not as the case maybe. I have just spent the last half hour hanging around the kitchen looking for an idea for a post. Unfortunately, I have done crumbs before and today there were too many of them to be funny. Anyway, I think that they’re funnier in drawers, kitchen drawers that is, where

I’m a Hero…

Maybe I should rephrase that…. I think I’m a hero. This morning, I could report to my husband that Barca beat Real Madrid 4 to 3 and that Messi scored a hat trick!! I’m sure that it will be replayed somewhere, in case you missed it. The only reason I know this is because of

Sesquipedalia and the Meaning of Life…..

This has all happened before and I know it will all happen again. It’s Sunday morning and I haven’t an idea in my head for a post 🙂 There was lots of “stuff” on FB, but again, much of it was repetitive – trite memes, boring lists, not-so-cute animal tricks – sigh. I flipped around

Unicycle Dreams

Lee Anne Dalton posted to my FB wall about a dream she had. She dreamt that she could ride a unicycle. Well, I just happen to have a unicycle in my basement. Really a house is not complete without one 🙂 Actually, when my daughter was a councillor at a circus camp a few years

Fairies and the real world.

I was reading a blog post the other day on fairies and the belief that they really exist. Ironically it was posted very close to St. Patrick’s Day and we all know the Irish’ obsession with the “little people.” At their worst, fairies exchange children in their cribs at night, thereby leaving a parent to

Alter Egos???

I was fascinated by this quotation posted by Wordporn. It’s from Plato’s symposium and it may explain a lot of the angst in this world. How often do we feel incomplete? Are we plagued with the sense that there is something missing in our lives? Do we find ourselves searching, reaching out, ever hoping to find

Saturday morning coming down….

….or maybe it’s Saturday morning going up…. I took my daughter downtown to an early morning soccer practice last Saturday. As I drove home along King St., I took pictures, while stopped at various traffic lights along the way. Here they are. As you can see there are a lot of boom cranes around. Toronto

A Parking Safari

I live in the city, where parking is the equivalent of big game hunting!!! First, finding a parking space can be very dangerous. You drive down (or up) a busy main street simultaneously looking for parking spots on both sides of the street. This means that your head swings regularly from side to side and

books, words

Today we have naming of names…..

It’s always an interesting diversion to muse about names – why certain names are popular at certain times and in certain places, for example. I’ve been reading Middlemarch by George Eliot. I’m at the middle of the book and it is almost the middle of March – how is that for irony 🙂 Anyway there
