It pays to unplug…for a while, at least

Come on, admit it. Are you addicted to technology? Do your hands start shaking if you’re torn away from your handheld device for more than a few hours?
For an introvert like me, social media has fit my personality like a glove. I’m verbal and bold online in ways I would never be in person—and I get to practice my quips and one-liners.


The days are long, but the years are short

Nine pillow fights * Nine incomprehensible Knock-Knock jokes * Nine bike rides through the mud * Nine growth spurts that make trousers and best-loved t-shirts too short * Nine hugs for teachers


I am Queen of the World!

So I’ve come to the end of my running odyssey, and I find it ironic that at the end of this program, I find myself running 10K alone—on my treadmill—just the way I started.

Merry Christmas, from our closet to yours

For those of you who’ve been following my foray into the world of bedroom organization, I thought you may appreciate this short video produced by “Lava Lamp Productions,” (a video production company consisting  of my husband, a hand-held Panasonic video camera, our kids, editing software, and an amazing sense of humour).  My angst-filled blog posts regarding closet purging (specifically,  ‘The Big Fork and Spoon‘) have gained me nothing but my children making fun of me…but at least it’s funny.

…And you’ll be interested (pleased, aghast?) to know The Fork and Spoon have finally found their place on the dining room wall. As Mark Knopfler says, “Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug.”

By the way, since lamenting the cost of wood laminate closet systems in my last blog a few weeks ago , we measured and drew pictures and measured some more, finally settling on a much cheaper  wire component system. More on that in the New Year, as well as our floor plan. In the meantime, enjoy a wonderful holiday season and my best to you for 2010.
