Moments from a Prairie Winter

Monday, March 8th, 2010

The past week my prairie city has been warm. Beautifully and wonderfully warm, so you don’t have to brace when you go outside.  I love this time of year because it reminds me of how relative everything is in life. In the fall -7°C  (19°F) was a looming and frightening temperature that had me bundling [...]

Snow Days and Waiting

Monday, February 8th, 2010

This weekend was about waiting. I waited for the last load of laundry to finish, for Mister to come home from work, and for the realtor to do a walk through of the little house. I held my breath and hoped that she would like it, and melt away our anxiety around price and procedure.
I [...]

An Extraordinary Normal Life

Monday, January 25th, 2010

As I’ve been diving back into school work, made nervous by professors levelling truisms at me like, “Time stops for no one!” from the pages of my course packages, I’ve been clinging to the comfort of normal to keep me calm and centred.
I’m really good at organizing but not very good at slowing down, so I make [...]

A weekend of balance

Monday, January 18th, 2010

This weekend started hard and ended up restful and fun, homey and active. I put on my Maid of Honour game face and hit a wedding show with friends, had burgers with my pseudo extended step family, and studied up like a thing possessed. I had my bob sheared off, sent out love letters, and [...]

Decking the Halls

Monday, December 7th, 2009

I’ve been telling myself that we can’t get into the holidays yet. We can’t celebrate anything! I’m going away this week, so we’ll celebrate when I’m home.
Sometimes I just have no idea what I’m talking about.
Late Friday night, fuelled by powdery community hockey rink grade hot chocolate (one of my favourite treats) I decided enough [...]

Believing through it

Monday, November 30th, 2009

This weekend…

If you follow me on twitter you’ve already heard me shouting to high heavens about this but give me one more second of your time:
I’m done school until mid-January!!
It always shocks me how the removal of one obstacle can change my whole perspective, and finishing my last two assignments was transformative. I packaged them [...]

Halloween wrap up

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

On Halloween, friends came over for a Moustaches & Movies party…

…Mister knocked himself out with setting up a stellar graveyard in the front…

…cupcakes were made while I tweeted & whisked…

…and I made Twilight pumpkins that awed and horrified the neighbourhood.
I’d say that’s a successful Halloween!

That’s all I’ve got for you for now, but I hope [...]
