- The Bun started dance class last week. He’d been wanting to take dance class for at least a year, I think it started with skating and then while learning how to skate, he deduced (correctly) that ice was slippery and that ballet was effectively dancing without the whole troublesome slippery ice issue interfering with [...]

Once again I’ve hit a wall. Not literally. If I literally hit a wall, I’d probably break — at a minimum — all the bones in my hand. I’m “lucky” like that. Not that I have brittle bones, but that I have bad luck. Not REALLY BAD LUCK, like, you know, a fatal disease, but [...]

So there I was in Zellers buying more clothes for The Birdy who outgrows things overnight. Things I’ve bought her so recently they still have those little plastic thingies attached are suddenly too small. What HAPPENED? I don’t know.

So in the last little while, I’ve been thinking about karma and luck and all other impossible-to-measure and are-they-really-real things that we — meaning “I” — use to provide rationale for why my life is either going swimmingly thank you very much or whether it’s repeatedly stabbing me with a sharp pin in the eyelid.

1. What is it with the word “booyah”? And is that how you spell it? It must be, because the spell checker says it’s correct. Well, booyah. What a completely ridiculous word, and yet also fun to say out loud. Try to work it into your conversation at least ten times in one day and [...]

The night before the preschool picnic, it rained so hard that I couldn’t sleep. Secretly, I was relieved. Because rain meant NO PICNIC. And I’m mean like that and also socially anxious and more than a little socially inept. Any kind of social event like a school picnic gives me hives because it’s just another [...]
