Survivor Heros vs Villians = AWESOME!

12 February 2010

So, did you watch Survivor last night? Way wicked cool, no? Definitely shaping up to be one of the most intense Survivors ever. If you’re a fan, you’ll love this: Jeff Probst blogging the premiere!
Poor Rupert, my heart broke for him when he broke his toe. And did you catch [...]

Patchin’ it, old skool

4 February 2010

When I saw the tear in the knee of Tristan’s gorgeous new Gap cargo pants, I was more than annoyed. I was disappointed, and frustrated. The boy is hard on his clothes. We hand down a lot of t-shirts in my house, but pants rarely survive to have a boy grow out [...]

In which the dog hair finally snaps her last bit of sanity

4 January 2010

There’s an old Dan Hill song (what, you don’t do early 70s Canadian folk rockers?) that has the lyric, “Freedom takes on new meaning / When you have a family of five.” With all due respect to Mr Hill, I’d like to posit that the following is also true: keeping the house clean [...]

Tap, tap, tap — is this thing still on?

30 December 2009

Well, hello there. You’re still here? Yay! Sorry about the extended absence. I’ve been distracted by something shiny and new that I got for Christmas. I’m so spoiled — Beloved bought me an iPod Touch! I hadn’t even asked for it, and have to admit when I opened it [...]

DaniGirl versus the Mouse, Round 2

8 December 2009

Remember in my previous post, when I said about the mouse living in our basement “He is Legion”?
I had no idea.
The mice, they are everywhere. They are in my garage, they are in my basement, they are even in my office, a whole 10 km away from my house. I swear, I am [...]

Hooray for December!

1 December 2009

I‘m always glad when November turns to December. Despite the short days and cold weather, December is a bright month filled with warmth. We got our first dusting of snow yesterday, which helps to add a festive feeling, and there’s plenty of talk of pending holiday lunches and get-togethers.
I even ordered my Christmas [...]

The one with the new floor

30 November 2009

W are in the midst of getting laminate installed on the main floor of our house. This has caused considerable, in the words of Sir Topham Hat, Chaos and Disruption.
The decision to even have the horrendously ugly sky-blue-faded-to-murky-grey carpets replaced with laminate was itself fraught with peril. The current home reno tax credit [...]

Is there a 12-step program for Tim Hortons?

26 November 2009

My name is DaniGirl, and I am addicted to Tim Horton’s coffee.
*hangs head in shame*
Not just Tim’s coffee. I like my own a lot, too. But I am a coffee snob and not just any old brackish brew will do when I need my fix. Which is, for the record, regularly. [...]

A whimsical walk

11 November 2009

My to-do list today had about 357 items on it. I’m sad to say that “take two hours out of the morning to go for a walk and play outside with the boys” didn’t even make the list. I’m hoping the fact that we actually did it redeems me just a little bit.
And [...]

Celebrating four decades with 5 things about Sesame Street

10 November 2009

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the debut of Sesame Street. I love Sesame Street madly and deeply, and have since I was a preschooler. I may have mentioned that once or two dozen times before.
You know who else loves Sesame Street? My kids. Of all the children’s programming [...]
