One of my all-time favourite ‘chick flicks’ is, Thelma and Louise. There’s just something about two grown women making up their minds to go on an adventure despite their personal trials and tribulations that is enticing. It doesn’t hurt that they each uncover some attributes along the way that they didn’t fully realize and in …

Tissues Anyone?
The other day I blogged about various multi-packs of items and Irene at My Slice of Mexico commented about tissue boxes and it got me thinking about the white squares a little more thoroughly. I never quite realized before how important of a role they play in our lives and not just from a practical …
There’s Always One
Courtesy of reddit.com Have you ever noticed that mixed, specialty packs of things always contain a dud or two that no one really likes or wants? It’s like there is an unwritten (or maybe it is written?) rule by product companies that if they are going to offer variety packages to customers, they must include …
#Dear Sunny Boy or Girl…
I chose the picture above for this post because the frozen soap bubble reminded me of a crystal ball. It sure would be nice if I could help the sun read its fortune. It would go a little something like this, "You are getting ready to shine like you've never shone before, especially in Canada …
Drooling Over Myself Decades Later
As a child, I used to watch my parents fall asleep in their rocking chairs after dinner. I could never figure out how they could sleep sitting upright like that, heads dangling, often snoring which never worked out well for TV watching for us kids. That was okay though, because their nap time equalled more …
A Title About Titles

Are You Up For a Challenge?

Mosquitoes
My summer nemeses, Out to get me, Sucking my blood dry, Quick to buzz in my ears, Unrelenting and tenacious, Irritating as can be, Tons of them after the rain, On my neck, knees, fingers and toes, Endlessly itchy welts that drive me crazy, Scratching them to no avail.
