• I write books.

    I do! It's true. I have written for all sorts of different audiences. My first book was literary adult fiction and I've written many many books that have fallen into the category "juvenile fiction" and "YA fiction". I talk about my books and writing in general on my other site, which is at www.karenrivers.com. (I don't know how to make that a live link, so you may have to copy and paste.) (Sorry.) THIS site is about me, my hair, my kids, my appliances, and that time that I rode my bike down a cliff and then got stung by a bee. It may not all be appropriately awesome (or even slightly interesting) to kids, so if you are young, LOOK AWAY. That said, there is nothing harmful here, except the occasional swear, which I ask you to edit out with your eyes. Blink blink.

  • Is it safe to eat raw bacon?

    No. You shouldn't eat any raw pork products. You could get trichinosis and no doubt a number of other food-borne illnesses. With the recent change in food safety standards, I'd frankly cook the crap out of any meat product I purchased before eating it. Even if it's already cooked. Seriously. Keep in mind that I am not a raw bacon expert, I just play one on the web.

Silent Sunday. Yes, I KNOW it’s Tuesday. My bad.

Posted on August 11th, 2009 by Karen

So we went camping on Galiano.   I have a million pictures and I have uploaded these four because everything takes me forever and I was really busy this morning choosing products to give away on this site.   Stay tuned for more on that.   There’s been a lot of talk about giveaways on blogs lately and whatnot and the way I see it is that if some website wants to give me stuff to give to YOU, why not?   You deserve prizes for reading my blog as far as I’m concerned and although I’d be happy to give you my own crap, probably better if you get BRAND NEW STUFF from someone else.    Everyone likes to win things, right?

HECK YES.

Anyway, pictures:

The kids had a great time in the water.   I treasure all pictures of them looking happy and loving because then I can superimpose these pictures in my mind over the reality of punching, hitting, kicking, scratching and random biting that occurs when one of them does something that the other does not like, such as shouting the phrase “CRUSTY CRACKERS!” repeatedly until my ears start to bleed and I start hitting, kicking, scratching and randomly biting my self.

The sunsets from Montague Harbour are unbelievable.   Go there.   Even though the spell checker wants me to take out the ‘u’.   But I refuse, Spell Checker, because I AM CANADIAN ™!*

From a distance, he looks like he’s being gentle and kind** so let’s pretend that’s what was happening.   We were drinking wine from large red cups.   Elegant, no?

This may be my favourite picture of all time.   LOOK AT THAT SUNSET.   Holy crap.

* (Although I don’t drink that awful beer.)

** Actually, I think he was, it wasn’t his fault that the snap on the helmet caught the skin on her chin and screaming ensued.
