I was a really big geek when I was growing up. Until grade five I had hair that went below my butt. I had large glasses. I wore bad clothes because we couldn’t afford anything better. I was socially awkward and pretty fugly. For some reason, however, the popular kids sort of befriended me. [...]

I have decided that I dislike wedding planning. Clive and I may head to the Bay of Fundy this Sunday to check out a few cottages that we’re looking at. Right now, we’ve decided on the following:

SHORT guestlist (like under 30 people)

Beach wedding in Nova Scotia

Cottage reception -we’ll have to rent by [...]

The traffic in Halifax was exceptionally bad today. I suffered from road rage at a taxi driver who would not. stop. honking. at me while I was trapped between a parked car and cars that were trying to turn left (I was trying to turn right) but didn’t stop far enough over on their [...]

Tomorrow morning I send Ash off to be babysat while I attend a baby food making class. I’m panicking. Not only is this only the second time I leave him for an extended period of time, but it’s the first time that I leave him with a STRANGER. The class is at the [...]

Then we went inside and went to sleep.

Turn down the suck! (Getting whizzed on.)
Turn up the good! (Ash has been mastering turning the pages of books for the past couple of weeks. Excuse my voice.)

I have a folder containing 1761 pictures that I’ve uploaded to my IAM (BMEzine.com) page over the past seven years. I’m going to upload FIVE pictures at random (they all have randomly generated file names so I don’t know what they are or when they’re from) and I’ll tell you about them.

The little girl that I had mentioned in one of my previous posts has been confirmed dead. The case is a homicide. I can’t stop thinking about it. The girl. Her mom. How my town is ABUZZ with gossip and shock. No one in my town gets MURDERED. It’s unheard of. I hope whoever did [...]

So, I’ve started using the potty again with Ash. It’s going really well. Right now I just sit him on the potty when we wake up for the first time so he can pee a big pee and a poop in it, and then if I notice he needs to poop again throughout the day, [...]
