Do you remember when I started my Let’s Do The Time Warp Again series and many of you clamoured for more? Well, I’m not the type of girl who ignores clamouring, and so I thought it was high time I delved back into my photo archives and Taught You Things About America again. Hannah Is [...]

I know that the title of this post has struck fear into the hearts of some of you reading this. (You know who you are.) That’s okay. I accept our differences, and love our friendship regardless. If you’d prefer to run away and come back later, for example when I post about Friday’s restaurant birthday [...]

First and foremost, I have to say the most splendiferous, exuberant, metaphorical-hug-filled, joyous, honoured, grateful, and shimmering thank you to everyone who emailed, texted, messaged, and blog-commented such wonderful birthday wishes to me yesterday. It was you who turned a rather lacklustre and potentially cry-worthy day into a day of smiles. Thank you. I have [...]

It’s my birthday today. As always, my birthday is National Sorry Day. Every few years, my birthday also manages to fall on National Memorial Day. (Dear universe: I can’t help but applaud your dedication to my self-esteem.) My parents, whom I’m currently house-sitting for, are in Japan, and their dog hasn’t been trained to say [...]

Two wonderful things happened on a recent Sunday. Firstly, The Pilot and I finally managed to rendezvous for a Skype chat, during which time he scared the pants off me by detailing his experience with the tornado that recently ripped through the south-east of America. He saw the sky turn green. This still frightens me. [...]

Happy 91st birthday to my wonderful, thoughtful, brave, kind, and ever-supportive Grandpa! Words cannot express how much I treasure our afternoons playing Crib together, your smile and love of literature, our mutual distaste for casseroles containing squidgy fruits, and the way you make me feel cherished, just the way I am. I’ll never forget waking [...]

Sometimes, life feels a little bit like this: Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard: Tell me your tasks, in order. Mr Ogmore: I must put my pyjamas in the drawer marked pyjamas. Mr Pritchard: I must take my cold bath which is good for me. Mr Ogmore: I must wear my flannel band to ward off sciatica. Mr Pritchard: [...]

There are times in life when you need to listen to your intuition. For example: When a friend of yours offers you a piece of dried-up bark (yes, from a tree) to smoke in lieu of a cigarette in Grade Seven… Listen to your intuition. Say no. Smoking bark does not a cool kid make. [...]

Before last night, I had never watched a single skerrick of Eurovision. Even when, years ago, a university lecturer instructed my class to watch it as a corollary to our “Europe in the Modern Era” course, I didn’t bother. I know, I know. I’m such a rebel. It’s a surprise I didn’t enter a downward [...]

As those of you who’ve been with me for a while would know, I bought a Vita-Mix earlier this year in a post-Christmas haze of gift-glory. I loved the expensive blighter then, and I love the expensive blighter now. However, due to a number of factors coalescing at once, I haven’t actually used the expensive [...]
