Thanks to Sara for making this cool badge for people like me who tried to do one post per day, but failed miserably in the end.

book

I don’t get around to finishing a book very often, with the exception of my Harlequin Blaze books–but they are so short and have a predictably happy ending each time. But today I finally finished Love in the Time of Cholera. I loved it. I slowed down near the end, to savour the story, and [...]

So, it’s Wednesday again. Derek had chemo, and it was relatively uneventful, except that his kidney function is down, and he has to go for a kidney ultrasound. I hope it’s just his cold. I took the day off work to be with him, and drive him. It was a long [...]
President’s Choice Butter Chicken

I finally found two jars of the PC Butter Chicken Sauce today. We had it for dinner, with PC Naan, and it was great. I just fried up some chicken breast, added the sauce, and served with the naan. This sauce is very popular and is usually sold-out when I go to [...]

We attended the Santa Claus parade today. It was a beautiful sunny day in downtown Vancouver.
This photo is from TamaraL who I found on Flickr. The cool thing about Flickr is that you can enjoy other peoples photos and not have to worry about getting the great capture yourself. I’m [...]
Christmas Music

I’ve got seven songs so far. I can put up to 18 on a CD? So keep them coming. And by “cheez” I meant things like ‘Grandma got Run Over by a Reindeer’.
And yes KA, The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson is also on the ‘Chevrolet Equinox’ commercial: the one [...]
Cold

I have a cold. I have not had a cold for ages, maybe over a year. Kind of sucks. Whenever I get a fever, my abdomen aches. I suspect it’s related to my endometriosis, which used to cause more of a chronic pain, but now only when I get a fever.
I would like to put [...]
Commercial Music

Two great songs that I just purchased from iTunes, both come from holiday themed TV commercials.
1. The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson (Old Navy)
2. Donna and Blitzen by Badly Drawn Boy (Sears gift giving commercial that makes me cry sometimes)
Enjoy.

I was at my new OB/GYN yesterday, and she noticed my umbilical hernia, or as I call it, my ’supreme outie’. I’ve had it since 2000, when I was pregnant with my youngest daughter. It just looks like a blump of fat coming out of my belly button. She said it could be repaired with [...]

Apparently Japan is out to hunt wales again. I thought killing wales was off the list stupid things humans do to fuck-up Mother Nature. How can this be happening? Let’s get it together, people.
Back in the 1970’s there was a huge conservation movement that was all about saving wales, using less electricity, and keeping the [...]
