The Buzz Queen

We’re at 6 days before we leave for Jamaica mon! The land of Rasta, Rum and Ganja! (But don’t tell the Mountie about that last one.)
The babysitter/dogsitter is all set, the rules/info/emergency list is written and the usual research on what to do/what to see/and how to do it, has been done. All […]

Yesterday was cloudy but warm, so we packed Mattie up and headed to a little picnic spot on the river.

Kristanna was sitting playing in the sand - she just looked so pretty that I had to take about 80 pictures

Look at that skin! She’s almost 13 and not a blemish in sight! […]

I know better, really I do.
I work for a business consultant who works mainly with large design/marketing/branding firms. I’m quite sure he doesn’t advise his clients to pack up and move their offices once a week. So why am I changing my site’s theme 4 times a day?
Well, for now, this one is […]

And he came bearing gifts!
The Mountie got home yesterday, and with him he brought RockBand for PS2/PS3. I don’t think either of the girls have come up for air since!
I have to admit, it is pretty darn cool. (and extremely amusing to see my girls rocking out to Bon Jovi, Metallica, etc.) […]

Sorry - I just haven’t been in the blogging mood lately. Much of it has to do with the fact that the SUN actually came out and it stopped friggin SNOWING!
Our little town has been alive this weekend with people (gasp!) outdoors - walking, doing yard work and having BBQ’s. And speaking […]

… you have this kind of phone conversation with one of your girlfriends:
Her: ‘So what are you up to tomorrow afternoon?’
Me: ‘Ummm, I’m not sure, why?’ (knowing this is a loaded question)
Her: ‘We’re going to get wood tomorrow and thought you’d like to come.’
Me: ‘Yeah well, uh… that sounds like work.’
Her: […]

Usually it’s the other way around, isn’t it?
Kristanna’s become pretty adventurous lately with her hair. I let her do pretty much what she wants to with it - it’s her hair, and it’s easy to fix if something goes drastically wrong!
Here she is still as a blonde:

And this is following Nice ‘n’ Easy #118:

And […]

I have no idea what to do with our backyard. But something needs to be done.
There’s a tiny little postage stamp sized piece of grass, and the rest is weeds and dirt. Mostly dirt. Which turns into mud given our rainy Vancouver Island weather. Mud that Mattie brings into the house […]

I’m without my Mountie for the entire month of March. Whenever he has to go away I’m always excited for some time alone, but then it gets old after about 3 days. There are some perks however:
I don’t have to shave my legs. We can eat casseroles all we want. Mattie […]

The definition of ‘getting old’?
Watching Saturday Night Live and having no idea who the host or the musical guests are.
Amy Adams is hosting tonight, and I’ve never seen her before in my life. The musical guest is Vampire Weekend. I had thought they’d be some kind of punk band, but they’re not. […]
