Soul Mate Update

A year ago I laid down my thoughts about my Soul Mate and then in the spring I added a section to our life called Tumultuous Tuesday . I then alluded to some of the changes in our life with The Gateway . Now 365 days later one one big factor in

Smoke and Mirrors

It’s all smoke and mirrors she said, with a wave of her hand upward.  Which could have been viewed as ironic when you consider that she usually looks Terrible, like really terrible . This time though we aren’t talking about our

Totally disjointed

It was like 10 second vignettes strung together of incoherent subjects. Randomly weird shit that made music videos look normal.

It played with my mind so much that I woke up totally disjointed. Almost dizzy from this

Pooh (Bear – not the other kind)

I’ve always had a soft spot for the original bear. The one that A.A. Milne created based on a real live brown bear in a London zoo. The one with Canadian roots. He’s a bit more special to me that the Disney Version and the gopher (who always pops up to say I’m not in the book). Truth is every book is better than any movie.

 I share this link called Pooh’s Lessons on a day that has had some ups and downs. Pooh and his friends give us a reminder of the important things in life. Happy reading.

Bloody Dogs

It’s quite ironic that a year ago today I posted a blog called In the Dog House and today, at the end of my walk, I left some cranky words about dogs and their activities during the walk in my comments section.

Fogged

The deep obscuring fog lays heavy, cutting visibility to the land in front of your feet. Isolated from the

Slacking off or simple math

I can’t decide if I am slacking off or if the simple math I’ve done while thinking about this blog post allows me some leeway.

Simple math equation. 

Blank Slate

It’s not very often that I have a blank slate ahead of me. There was absolutely nothing on the

Just Because

Sometimes, after a long tough day, you just need a warm

An Australian-Canadian Dictionary

Seriously — this blog cracks me up!! The content varies wildly but the writing is so funny. I told her if she can’t make the whole orthopedic surgery thing work out she should do stand up comedy. She would have people rolling in the aisles. It’s heaps funnier than mine (haha — I just wanted to use the word heaps) so “cheers” for now.

Have Bone-Saw, Will Travel

The brainchild of one Jaime Rapko.

I should apologize in advance, because I am an incurable language thief. I remember somebody in highschool once voting against(who does that. seriously) watching Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure “because we’ll have to listen to Deirdre talk like that for three weeks.” It was meant unkindly, but it was true. And if a two-hour film can do that to me, imagine what a year living away will do… I’ve been acquiring interesting turns of phrase from both Ethiopian and Australian English and am choosing to pepper my regular speech with them. I can’t wait to figure out where I’m going next, and what version of English I’ll be ransacking after this… It’s going to get so nobody can figure out where I’m from. Or understand me, probably.

So here you go. A guide to some of the words I’m stealing. And some of…
