The sun is shining bright today and these sunbeams got the kitties out of the bedroom (their usual daytime hangout) into the kitchen to absorb every ray. I guess they must get really warm, they are black after all. They must absorb every bit of heat there is. [click to continue…]
Good news! We had fluffy white clouds today with a side of baby blue sky. It was a great sight to behold. Also, I’ve been told it’s very near time to plant seeds. Perhaps I’ll get some sweet peas out this year. I missed the window of opportunity for that the last few years. We have an extra day of February this year, so I could be able to squeeze the seed growing in. [click to continue…]
As you can see, that Harlequin Romance novel, White Fire (with the blue cover), I picked up a couple of years ago is getting a good workout. I’ve been stamping pages out of that book for years now, I even shared pages out of it, and it just keeps giving. It takes forever to tear out pages out of a 140 page book one at a time.
February 2012′s desktop calendars are brought to you by Valentine’s Day this year. Both Cynthia and I used a heart motif this month. So, if you like, you can download both and change them up every other week for this month. And this February is a leap year, so it’s like you get an extra day of February for free.

Funny that the day I call in sick from work, this Ferris Bueller car commercial is all over the interwebs.
He even goes to a Chinese New Year parade in this video. Enjoy!
I’m down and out with a cold and a throbby headache today. I’m sure I’ll feel better soon. If I don’t, I think I’ll go to work anyway. Daytime TV will surely drive me out of the house. I think they make it this crappy on purpose to get people to go back to work. It is NOT. GOOD.
First, you boil the oranges. Tonight I made some kind of crazy clementine cake. I actually made 2 versions – one with ground almonds and one with regular flour. I had to try this recipe out because I have a little shin dig to bring a cake to next week and wanted to try something [...]
Today was one of the darkest, rainiest days I can ever remember experiencing in Vancouver. The sky was dark by 2:00 this afternoon and it felt like night time. Catherine and I headed over to the mall for some lunch and were happily visited by the Dragon! This whole week is Chinese New Year and [...]
I celebrated the first day of Chinese New Year by purchasing red thread for my heart wall hanging I’m making. Best purchase under $2 I can remember buying. Unfortunately, I washed my hair today. On the first day of Chinese New Year, you’re not supposed to do that – it symbolizes washing away your good [...]
…and I don’t really care about Valentines Day, but for some reason, I do like hearts. Oh wait. I love chocolate and that’s very Valentines Day-ish. Other than that…I’d rather stay home and watch movies, edit photos or blog. Last time I got my hair cut, the hairdresser asked me, “How do you wear your [...]
YES! It was Saturday…I had no plans except to sleep in (check!) make some more blocks (check!) and make some kind of treat. I made some parsnip soup a couple of days ago – I can hear my sister gagging from here – but it was delicious! I made a little rice and soup for [...]
We all waited with baited breath for the gigantic dump of snow scheduled to appear. It never arrived. However, at least one person’s boss thought there was a snow storm in Coquitlam today. There wasn’t one, but my co-worker overheard someone on the train this morning calling in late to work, “due to all the [...]
