Watch my life unravel...
|
Today was a most excellent day. So excellent, in fact, I can’t possibly fit all that excellence into one blog post, so Part II will be published tomorrow. PART I I went downtown and discovered a new street art installation by Maks on Slater Street just a few steps east of Bank Street. And if that […] A new website – Ottawa Neighbourhoods – was recently launched, and it provides all kinds of interesting information about neighbourhoods in Ottawa. My own neighbourhood – Carlington – didn’t fare very well, which probably wouldn’t come as a surprise to most of its residents, or to those of you who saw The Citizen’s interesting piece […] A snow tax! Can you believe it? As if we haven’t suffered enough this winter. Talk about adding insult to injury. I only heard about it a few minutes ago, but right off the top of my head, I have three problems with Mayor Larry’s proposed $50 per household snow tax. 1) If I’m not mistaken, we […] When I was ten, my mother remarried and quit her job so she could stay home and have more children and be a homemaker.

But in order to blog about knitting more, I kind of have to knit more. So I’ve been knitting up a storm lately to assauge my guilt over not blogging about […] Today was one of those days. If it were something other than a day, it would have been a dentist drill. But I am not at liberty to talk about the more irritating parts of this day in any kind of detail, so I will talk instead about some good things. Instead of talking about the […] So. I see reverse psychology does not work on Old Man Winter as well as it does on cats. I figured if I pretended to like him, he would back off and play hard to get. Ha. Forty-five Fifty-six centimeters later, I concede defeat: I am no match for the wily ways of Winter. Yesterday’s […] While I was sick at home I watched a lot of daytime TV, including Steven and Chris who apparently used to be The Designer Guys but now have their own daytime show.
