Katherine

Posted by: typealice In: Daily

Am I the only person who noticed this on last week’s Idol? Katherine’s dress looked like it had faulty double-sided tape which popped open and exposed her… dark underwear?

Thank goodness for strategically placed camera fades. You can actually see the “darkness” better when you’re not viewing still frames. Yikes!

Sorry I’ve been gone…

Posted by: typealice In: BVI| Daily| Gillian| Links

Sorry I haven’t posted in a couple of days. This thing ate me. I’m writing from its stomach.

—————-
This was the biggest spider I’ve ever seen. I don’t mind bugs when they’re normal sized, but this one has really gotten to me. Last night the cat jumped up on the bed to let us know that [...]

Globe Trotting

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

Something very interesting seems to have happened to me. I’ve lost nearly everyone I’ve ever cared about.
I wrote to my oldest friend when I got engaged telling him the news! Look! I’m so happy! I’m getting married! Let’s talk! You’ll get to meet him soon! And then I didn’t hear back from him. Nearly [...]

Birthday

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

Yes, as you may or may not have noticed, yesterday was my birthday. Hey, guess what? Getting older makes me feel awful! So I smoked a cigarette, binged on sushi, wine and cake opened some presents and had a pretty decent day. In the end, it was an “alright” birthday. Up a little from [...]

Kitten Video

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Videos

For all of those cat lovers out there, I made a video. Our new kitten is doing fine, except when the mama cat sits on it and it cries.

Okay, okay. The video is actually just for me. To everyone but extreme cat lovers, I promise it’ll be boring. It’s just my cat sleeping. [...]

Addicted to Kittens

Posted by: typealice In: BVI| Daily| Gillian| I <3 Clive

Clive and I have been cat-sitting our landlord’s cat for the past several months. A couple months ago our female cat had a very loud male visitor and we thought it might mean trouble. Our landlord promised that, no, she was fixed and there was no chance of her getting pregnant.

Clive’s been accusing me [...]

Want to Leave

Posted by: typealice In: Daily

Coming inches away from getting in a car accident yesterday (thank goodness for my fast reflexes and the sound of squealing tires behind me- otherwise I would have been rear ended because the car in front of me stopped WITHOUT warning or signaling in the middle of the highway for NO REASON) has put me [...]

What’s Your Favorite Online Store?

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Wedding

I am going SHOPPING CRAZY! I’ve been following links from my favorite wedding forum site, Indiebride and have found the earrings I want to wear on my wedding day. I have also found shoes that I love. And these ones too. I love almost everything in this store. If I was a millionaire, this would [...]

April Fool’s Day

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian

No trickery today! You can’t fool a fooler. Or you can’t joke a joker? Or you can’t prank a pranker? Whichever one. Take your pick.
Clive and I went to the gym today, I am in the process of baking bread rolls (yum!) and then will consume all of the calories I burned on the elliptical, [...]

About

I'm Gillian, a Nova Scotian woman with a son named Ash (born 09/07) and a wife to Clive. I am what they call an Attachment Parent; I breastfeed, wear my baby as much as possible, cosleep, cloth diaper and practice elimination communication. I have very strong parenting views. We are raising Ash as an organic vegetarian. I care about the environment and do what I can to reduce my carbon footprint and set a good example for others, especially my child.

I'm proudly drug free, but can't say that I have always been. My early 20s were comprised mostly of travelling- I've lived and worked everywhere from West Africa to the Caribbean. I currently run AP Mamas, a site dedicated to attachment parenting and G Slings, my sustainable sling company.
