Girl Shakes World

Here we are at the end of March.  Is it just me, or is time speeding up?  No, just me?
I know it’s not the last day of the month yet, but knowing me if I don’t do this now, I’ll get caught up in something else and forget.  So, here we go with the monthly [...]

I tend to be scared of a few too many things.
One of the big ones is heights.  I really hate heights.  I’m always terrified that I’m going to fall, no matter how realistically safe I am.  I can be tied up in the world’s safest harness and still be worried that it wouldn’t support my [...]

And so, I’m back like KAPOW ninja in the FACE!
Lately I’ve been thinking about posibility, the lack thereof and what, in our minds, determines which is relevant.  This may or may not explain the reason for my brief but definite disappearance from my much loved blog.
Either way, I have come to a conclusion.  INTIMIDATION is [...]

Can you believe that today is the last day of January?  Already?  Has anyone else’s January just sped on by?
So, in usual fashion, I am wrapping up the first month of the year.  First off, as promised, I am going to go over my progress with my resolutions.
The first, I think, can’t really be substantiated [...]

And today shall be known as the day we bought a puppy.
This morning, we called the breeder, and by the afternoon we were on our way to her house to check out the puppies.  The prince still wasn’t sold on the idea, but said he would see if he liked any of them.  That was [...]

This week has been lagging something awful.
You see, we had a public holiday on Tuesday.  Did you all get that?  On a TUESDAY.
I know, I know, I shouldn’t be complaining.  A day off is a day off, right?  It’s just that…well, call me a creature of habit, but I’m used to my days off being [...]

I know I haven’t exactly been keeping up this blog much in the past two weeks.  My bad.
Mostly, it has been because I have been absolutely exhausted.  Between work, the kids and my systematically trying to eliminate each item off my life list in quick succession (more on that later), I have been asleep by [...]

My Mama is turning 60 this year.  And she is freaking out.  Big time.
I had a conversation with her the other day about the fact that the Prince keeps referring to himself as 22.  Not in an ‘I’m going to convince you I’m younger than I am’ kind of a way, but in the way [...]

So, today was the end of the second at my new job.
Ok, so I spent a few days there before the Christmas break, but we were pretty much folding things and writing on a lot of envelopes, so I don’t count that.
All in all, I have to say it’s been pretty productive.  So far I [...]

Since the Prince and I had our anniversary last week, I was talking to a friend about how we first met.
Way back when, in primary school, we were great friends.  When we were about ten or eleven, we did the “going out” thing…you know, when you decide that you’re grown up enough to date someone [...]
