Status: 85.84% Go Canada Go! Last night was one of the first nights that Heather and I had a chance to sit down together, and watch the Olympics with any sort of dedication, and we focused our attention on the pool. It was an amazing showing by the Canadian swimmers last night, and they have […]

Oh how I miss her, and wish she could have met little Georgia, my niece, and our impending arrival as well. Family is so very […]

Continue ReadingStatus: 83.34% The change-table top is finished, and ready for use, which is one item on the To Do List that I can officially check off as completed. The drawers had the last coat of Varathane put onto them last night, so now the only thing left to complete for the drawers are the knobs […]
Continue ReadingStatus: 82.97% Well, it’s official. Heather is sick. Which means, in an effort to avoid getting sick myself, I will be sleeping on the couch until further notice. Joy. Another new fun feature I’m experiencing now, is every time the phone rings and I see her Caller ID but it’s not a ‘normal’ time for […]
Continue ReadingStatus: 82.59% Today is the first day of the last week of work for Heather before she goes on holidays, prior to when she goes on maternity leave. Is that clear enough?

Continue ReadingI was asked the other day, “Why do you blog? The internet & media platforms are changing, and in many ways blogging is becoming something from yesterday.” I don’t disagree with this statement.
