for the past several months, i have been posting mainly at posterous which also auto-posted to my various blog accounts - wordpress, tumblr and typepad. but... it doesn't cross over the tags well. and because i'm horrible with my typo's and always in a rush, i end up needing to... Continue reading

the art of one-night camping trips
there's definitely an art to it. mainly, the goal is to create a system where packing and then unpacking is smooth and easy. which is hard to do and to be honest, i haven't figured it all out just yet but i've made it my project to find out how... Continue reading

beautiful head shots
so for wk 1 and 2 of chaeli's summer adventuring, we sent her to a stage acting camp which basically will result in an hour production on an actual theatre stage with all the technical sound and lighting to boot! and the thing is that while there's your usual teen... Continue reading

bittersweet last school day
as much as i welcome the carefree summer months for chaeli where she will be having fun at various camps (no homework or tests), it was sad to see the last day of grade 1 come and go. for chaeli, she has had a roller coaster of a year. but... Continue reading

where hobbes feels free and happy
at the east end of downtown, there's this magnificent dog park along the beach. 2.5 arces of sand, water, trees and trails. our furried, four-pawed friends can run free here. and it's certainly a favourite of ours. simply because it gives us so much peace. and hobbes certainly does not...

about the birds and the bees talk - the questions get tougher
chaeli asked a boy at school to be her boyfriend. this happened on a tuesday. the thursday of that same week - a mere two days later - she dumped him. :/ i asked her why she did that. and with each question, she answered me with a shrug and... Continue reading

where two wrongs do not make a right
i don't condone her actions but some of the revenge-seekers definitely doesn't seem any better. true - she did partake in the vancouver riots and while her actions might be arguably less worse then some of the vandalism and assault, it definitely shouldn't be easily forgiven. she did give an...

random updates with a humidex of 43 celcius
it's hot outside. hot. and while rain is needed to relieve us, i'm pretty pissed off that it's falling on a saturday. it's like that every week. at the beginning, they announce cheerfully not to worry about the rain we just had on the weekend because next weekend will be... Continue reading

guilty pleasures no. 36
filet-o-fish it's my fast-food comfort food. one that i can't have often but when i do, i savour every single bite of it. but... it's not just the taste of the soft, flakey, white centre or how the breaded batter gives you that delicious crispy texture on the edges (especially... Continue reading

on friday, hobbes turned one and has been a part of our family for over 9 months. he came to us as a little, wee, 7lbs, moving rug. now, 10 lbs later, he's definitely a big part of the family. he now talks to us in his own way and... Continue reading

my little book worm
i will admit that i'm about to share a very proud moment as a mother. but it's not with any conceit. it's because i usually wonder how much i'm screwing up my own kid. parenting is hard. period. every now and then, there are moments that remind me that i'm... Continue reading

zoo, pee-stain and mother's day
this past weekend was probably one of the more busier mother's day weekend. but lots of fun! saturday, t&t plus their twin toddlers, m&e, came over to drop off their dog, cowboy, for a playdate with hobbes. while we left the two to fend for themselves, the two families went... Continue reading

i'm not here to debate about politics...
i'm just here to whine. last night, our country became a majority-conservative lead nation. the worse i was hoping was a minority-conservative leadership. and the fact that the liberals lost by a landslide make their future look bleak. what is worse... what really aggravates me, are the many voters who...

Diorama
We're in the midst of doing a dinosaur project with Chaeli. She has to draw/paste an image of the dinosaur, write a short verbage about it and then create a model scale, 3D scene of its environment. Which I have learned is called a diorama. I actually wouldn't have believed... Continue reading

naked hobbes
poor wee hobbes. with all the matted mess that became his fur, all they could do at the groomers was shave it all off. hobbes came back to us half the dog he use to be. he was pretty depressed and timid for the first couple of days. it actually... Continue reading

escaping the politics
i haven't blogged much because i've been overworked and pretty much stressed out. and while i'm tempted to vent about all the silly politics that's been going on around me, i'm more inclined to just put that aside so i can write about other things in life. besides, after doug... Continue reading
