Well, today’s the day. In a few hours I’ll be heading out for 10 days of birthday/holiday season insanity disguised as a Christmas vacation. By the way, if you need something else to read,here’s an old post I wrote about why I hate the term Christmas vacation and the troubling concept of frozen SpaghettiOs. But …

Derek Edwards, Round 3
So last night I got my birthday present from Carin. We went out to see Derek Edwards and then for dinner at one of our favourite pubs. A fine time was most definitely had by all…even if I did have to look like a goof walking a round town using a cane that was way …
I’m Running Out Of Names For These Thought Posts
Here comes another thought splatter. Enjoy. Silly Trixie has a new morning habit. She usually sleeps out in her bed in the living room. I have no idea why. But at some point in the night, she gets up and comes to the bed by me. But she used to just come in and lay …

Another One In The This Stuff Only Happens To Carin Files
Something weird happened to me that I’m amazed doesn’t happen more often. I was walking down the street. I knew I was close to a store that I wanted to go into, but I didnt’ feel like opening every door going “Excuse me, are you Store X?” So I did what I always do. I …

Facebook Meets Faceless Insurance Company
This is so depressing. On one hand, it took a lot for me to even look at this story, because I didn’t want to read about a company being such pricks. But that’s exactly why I needed to look at this, and post about it. Nathalie Blanchard was off on sick leave because she was …

Christmas Ramblings

They Like Us! They Really Really Like Us!
Ro gave us a Thanksgiving award thingy. What a sweety. I swear we’re the same person sometimes. I’m happy we never scared her away way back when she started reading our crazy stuff. So the rules are you’re supposed to pass this award on to five other blog authors who you think deserve a little …

My First RDSP Wrinkle
Remember when I opened my RDSP? Well, I’ve found my first minor annoyance. Every month, I’ve been plopping money in the plan, but I’ve been so busy with everything that I haven’t been able to look over my options on how the money should be invested. I’d love to get lots of reward, but I …
It’s A Pile of Thoughts!
This is a pretty sad state of affairs. I’ve been meaning to write some random stuff down, and started compiling a list about two weeks ago…and I’m finally starting to write it. I have so many things written down that I thought I’d better split it into dog and non-dog posts. So let’s start with …
Good Morning. Can I Go Back To Bed Now?
I have no idea what I’m writing about here, I’m just writing for the sake of writing. I guess we’ll see how this turns out…wonder if any of you will bother to read it to the end. I hate my body. Yeah, let’s start there. My body can go to hell. Since Carin has to …
