Yes, I was one of those people constantly refreshing Twitter at work so I could find out the name and specs of the Apple tablet.
(On that note: I had a good laugh over the reactions to the name — I think #iTampon was at the top of Twitter trends for a good while today –, [...]
When I was six years old, my aunt took me to Disney World. We drove down from Montreal with three other people. I had to eat many kinds of vegetables and fruit every day, but once that was done, I could indulge at the ice cream bar as much as I pleased.
One night, I made [...]
I missed my yoga class this morning, but I still got a good workout by walking from the metro in the snow and the wind. Later I’ll go shovel the front steps and that should complete my cardio requirements for the day!
It’s beautiful out there once you’re inside, drinking tea and writing.
Decided I need some work clothes and a Myriade latté. Got the latté, the first since December 22nd, the night before I went to Mexico.
(Oh yeah, I just came back from Mexico. Gorgeous weather, great hotel, the food was delicious, I didn’t tan, I only brought back one bottle of Tequila and no, you can’t [...]
The cold is teasing us. I remember pinning a poppy to my red wool jacket last year, and this year I was still wearing cotton by the 11th, so I guess it’s been warmer, or I have finally built up that mythical east-coast tolerance to the cold. We have days when there is frost on [...]

- The plant M. gave us for our housewarming. It’s grown so much in the past year.
- A fork, from the chocolate cake I had for “lunch”
- The glass teapot J. gave me for [...]
Listening to an episode of This American Life recorded in 2001, about Ted Haggard and his neighbourhood prayer program, then reading about the gay-sex-and-drugs he was engaging in, which came to public attention in 2006.
First non-medicinal ingredient in Solarcaine, in english: Aloe Extract.
First non-medicinal ingredient in Solarcaine, in french: Acétate isoceteth-3 de propylèneglycol.
Either way, it feels pretty good on my face. The Sunscreen Queen, who usually slathers on SPF 50 every morning, took a break for the long weekend. I went up to J.’s [...]
Birthdays seem to be less and less of a big deal.
I don’t remember it, but my first birthday was, I think, a big deal. My mom kept written records of our first birthday parties, and I remember seeing a list of gifts, people invited, celebrations. Of course, by then, my sister was a week away [...]
Things I want:
To remember that wonderful post-yoga feeling all week.
To lose my fear of fabric stores and finally learn quilting
Higher quality stuff for the price I pay — no more runs in brand-new stockings.
Less noise, less violent movies, fewer people blowing smoke in my face on the street.
I did not read “The Secret”, [...]
