There are no kids coming around to get candy and show you their costumes if you live in our building. None of our friends have parties, so we’re just old folks at home not really celebrating Halloween. G’s work has a contest for carved pumpkins, so yesterday we got a pumpkin while we went to [...]

I’ve been knitting for a number of years now. My mom taught me how when I was maybe 12 and then I taught myself more than the knit and purl stitches she taught me about 6 years ago. I learned to cast on, bind off and do a number of increases and decreases. I’ve moved [...]

It’s Thursday and I’ve been running around all week much more than usual. So, let me fill you in on what’s been going on. Last week I took my resume and decided it was time to drop them off for applying for seasonal Xmas work. I went to the mall across the street to see [...]

Accommodations for the Paris trip is booked but money has yet to exchange hands. But that should be in the next week. We should feel more confident about the whole thing soon. Then I’ll go into more details about the place and include their web site. The location will be ideal. Basically a bridge and [...]

Still need to be confirmed, but we just booked our holiday this year, instead of going to Seattle to visit G’s brother, we are going to PARIS!!!!! I’m so excited!!! Can’t wait to plan plan plan!!

G and I celebrated our anniversary on Saturday. We went out to get massages and had a nice dinner at my favourite restaurant in Toronto: Mistura. We had a fun and happy meal and I get left overs for lunch tomorrow! It’s going to be great! (For Joc: G had a braised lamb ribs for [...]

Weather is terrible and I’m feeling a little down, so don’t seem to be able to do anything quite right. Tried to put together an ikea shelf and it’s even broken. Terrible. Back to some real blog writing soon. BTW, for anyone who’s checking, I’ve hit 6 months of not working. And you know what, [...]

Happy Turkey Day! (or in the case of our house this year, Tofurkey Day.) I get gravy either way and had an yearning for Seitan. gobble gobble.

Yesterday I went for a haircut after months of putting it off. Went and got a cheap cut as a hair model for a cut at Vidal Sassoon School on Avenue Road. The cut took forever and can be annoying at time since it is so slow, but it still looked nice and for less [...]

Tonight we went to Koolhaus and saw the Jason Mraz concert. I saw him last year at the Beacon Theatre on the West side in NYC and it was one of the best concerts ever. He’s a great performer and entertainer and I told myself I’d even travel to see another concert because he was [...]

Sunday: A load of laundry as I work on Osso Buco. G thinks it’s the best dish I make. Ah… I feel better. Been feeling rather down about cooking etc. since G has been getting all the praises about how wonderful his cooking is, and how he’s a such a cook, and etc. etc. I’ve [...]

Here’s a photo of the hat/cap that I finished knitting on Monday that I don’t really like. I’m modelling it in the apt, but picture is taken so there’s not much of the apt shown. (Not ready to release those pictures yet!) I wanted something to fit lower on the head, so I’m going to [...]
