You know that nesting thing I was talking about earlier? Yeah. In. Full. Swing. I have cleaned out 1/2 of the cupboards in the kitchen, sold a box of books to a local bookstore, gave away a box of old-to-me-I’m-so-glad-it’s-useful-to-you crap stuff, and sold the futon that used to live in the spare room (soon to be the [...]

There have been some changes around here. Big changes. The kind of changes that make you forget you have a gargantuan load of laundry in the washing machine until three days after you put the load in there but the thought of putting the clothes through a cycle AGAIN and forgetting about them AGAIN is [...]

Behold: My painting tools of choice. What? You didn’t think I was going to show you a photo of some tatty ol’, gunked up paint brushes, did you? Nah. I think you guys know me better than that by now. Plus, I already posted that photo here. I am putting the “Home Reno Unveil” post [...]

It’s Friday! We made it! I am really looking forward to showing you how kick ass my office looks now and how crappy it looked before. But in the meantime here is a sneak peek at the colours. This photo is actually in my bedroom. Once we got started the Home Reno Creep took hold and [...]

This week while my mom and I have been painting there has been a lot of trash talk. And cackling. Mostly trash talk. With all the carrying on, John has had to find some way to cope. This is another BlackBerry photo. Here is another.

Reason #63,000 why having dogs rocks… Coming off of a mega-weekend of renos for John’s office.

And now we’re home. Home, lovely home. We are about [...]

This weekend was a blur. I don’t want to be a drama queen, but there was drama and there were Queens (okay, not really, but there WAS Dairy Queen ice cream wonderfulness in there somewhere so THANK GOD for that).

The next couple of weeks are going to be MASSIVE WEEKS OF CHAOS from which we can only hope to emerge from all in once piece. John is laboriously working on moving his office, which means we are all going to be running about with a pound of gyprock dust on our eyelashes and cheeks [...]
