Yesterday, in part one of this blogpost, you heard about some of the things that are a dead giveaway to me being a tried and true Canadian. Today, you’ll hear about the ‘darker’ or more unpatriotic sides of me. Already, I find my heart rate increasing since I usually don’t share this kind of list …

In many ways, I am your typical Canadian and in other ways, I am a definite anomaly. At the heart of it, I love being a Canadian, it’s just that I wish I was born as a native Hawaiian, but mostly so that I could live there for at least the snowiest, coldest parts of …

With many folks working from home now, some workplace issues have likely fallen to the wayside, whereas new ones are undoubtedly surfacing. For those of us deemed essential, in-person workers, many things about our days look different beginning with mask wearing, sanitizer use galore, gloves, distancing, etc. It’s been a delicate balancing act of doing …
In keeping with the times, I’ve decided that I have a list of things that I am offended by as of late. No offence intended. 1. Zebras—their stripes bother me! I feel that they are too linear, too black and white. Personally, I’d like to see some grey in there. It would make me feel …

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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
