Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
Ok, so the back of my ear was feeling a bit funky, and had some gunk on it, so I start feeling it up etc. I pull my hand back – red. The hairdresser cut my ear. It’s a tiny nick, and I didn’t even feel it when it happened. She does a razor cut, … Continue reading The Red Stroke
I’m having some really crazy mood swings lately. I usually get them the day or two before, and the day of my Depo Provera shot… but this time I didn’t get bitchy until now (a week after the fact). I didn’t get it early or late or anything. I did everything the same as I … Continue reading Just keep me away from the Knives
I’m going to that thing tonight. Are you? Continue reading Pssst…
I’ve been really busy lately. How busy? Let me tell you: I’m going on a training walk today, and bought some new workout clothes in the 12 minutes between work and my hair appointment. Why did I buy new workout clothes? Because all of the ones I currently own are dirty, and I’ve been too … Continue reading Busy Bee
Ok people, I’m putting out a call for random medical advice: I am lately (the past 8 weeks or so) suffering from chronic nosebleeds. I’ve been to the doctor, and he’s said that I have some capillaries in my nose that are sitting right on the edge of the skin, and when they’re wont to … Continue reading The Nose Knows
For once I actually hauled my butt out of bed, and got to work at 7:00am. I had to do it, because I made a hair appointment for 3:30 – but I just feel like such a moron for all the snoozing I’ve done the past few mornings, and not getting in to work until … Continue reading The Early Bird
You know who you are. And I am blaming you entirely for my BBQ, Breyers and Beer binge tonight. Continue reading Straw, Camel, Back
I’ve been going through the blogs that everyone suggested when I put out a call for more reads, and this is one of my favourites: ljc fyi. This girl is a complete and utter Domestic Goddess. She cooks, bakes, crafts, gardens, paints, and has an adorable puppy (and a pretty cute husband too). I’ve been … Continue reading Martha Who?
And now, for your daily dose of fun: GWB & John Kerry square off in a rousing animated rendition of This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land. In other news, the grouchiness continues. I had planned to make burritos for dinner, until I discovered my lettuce is rotten and my wraps are … Continue reading This Land…
In 1980 (the year you were born) Jimmy Carter is president of the US President Carter announces punitive measures and embargos against the USSR in retaliation for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan Mount St. Helens in Washington state erupts in a violent blast estimated to be 500 times as powerful as the Hiroshima atomic bomb … Continue reading Instead of More Whining… A Meme of Sorts
It is SUCH a Monday. You know, there are some of those Mondays that aren’t so bad (they could almost be a Tuesday) – then there are those ones that just hit you like a ton of bricks. Today is a totally typical Monday. Despite being so exhausted that I went to bed around 9:00pm, … Continue reading Monday, Monday
Don’t you hate it when you’ve added a friend to your MSN list – but their hotmail address and nickname are totally different than anything you’d expect. Initially it doesn’t seem like a problem, but sometimes you just don’t chat to that person on MSN that often, and pretty soon you’re wondering who the heck … Continue reading One of those things…
Hi HNG, As much as you try to come off as a normal person, you do things that disturb me. If we can not have a conversation without you making reference to sexual innuendo and/or inquiries about my panties, I do not want to talk with you anymore. And I certainly do NOT want to … Continue reading Open Letter to the HNG
Where the hell have I been? I snagged this little gem off of Darren Barefoot’s site, and was pleasantly amazed and surprised. For some stupid reason, I always thought that Van Morrison belonged in amongst the ranks of Van Halen. So this morning, I tuned up the ol’ file sharing program, and went on the … Continue reading (Old) New Music
…now that my day is over, you all pick *now* to start updating your blogs. I really could’ve used the distraction earlier in the day while I was stuffing envelopes. In any case, have a pleasant weekend! Continue reading Oh Sure…
