Another one from my new favourite Shitney


The 16 year old wife of "actor" Doug Wilson, Courtney Sodden, is my current favourite Shitney. And if Michael K can be trusted, and he can, these two will soon becoming to an idiot box near you. Stay tuned!

Happy Birthday to me: A Wishlist

Big shout out to Shel Silverstein for the above poem!

Last year I did a birthday wish list, which was so successful in annoying everyone that I thought I should do it again.

First on the list has to be: Shel's newest book. Now I know what you are thinking since Shel passed a few years back, but these are all previously unpublished poems by the man himself. The other items are pretty straightforward. Their might be some repeats from last year, but those are because I am still waiting for someone to give them to me! Here goes:

Every Thing On It (by Shel Siverstein)

tights or stockings

fireworks (ehem Max)

sailboat

fall puzzle

a tent

dinner at the cottage

Laughter and joy - the best way to remember.



Actually been thinking about 9/11 a lot today. Historic days do tend to stick out in the mind. It is difficult to find joy or laughter in that kind of terror, but Ab Fab did it well. Love and respect and God Bless America

The Summer brought to you by Instagram

I haven't done any photo posts this summer, which is a shame. So I thought I'd get do a tribute to the summer of 2011. Hereby this summer shall be known as - The Return to Toronto.
Since I have been away the last two summers, and haven't been able to garden, I wanted to get an early start. Perhaps to early, since this shot is from April. Nothing in the above images survived.

The true start to summer - helping Emily move May 1st!
