That was today! It was so warm during the day, it almost felt like summer again.
Also, my kids’ swim school is having this summer in winter promotion, and they have cute lil inflatable islands complete with coconut trees floating around the pool. All the teachers and assistants wear a lei and sunscreen. Very very cute. [...]

Last weekend, we drove up to the city (and I forgot to pay the tolls!!! Arrghh ~ ok, that’s another story), to visit the Star Wars Exhibition.
To be honest, I don’t know who was more excited…the kids or myself. As we passed the steel buildings, nearing the museum, we could see the Star Wars flag [...]

Tomorrow, being a Friday night, Mr.T has asked me out on a date. Apparently, he wants to go for his friend’s grunge-y band performance at a pub, near this Dansko shop.
Being me, I don’t mind going for coffee (well, hot choc, in my case) and some dessert. But, going to a smoky (oh wait! It [...]

I’m supposed to get a [...]

The next vacation will probably be with the kids. Which means, not much of it for me. But for the kids, it’ll be fun. And hot. Similar to the Vegas vacations, my friend and her family had. They went during summer, which was pretty silly, considering it is a desert. But they were escaping the [...]

When it’s Trash Day, and when the waste dump trucks come rumbling by, I will shout out to my boys, “Which Bin is it for? Yellow, Green or Red?”. My lil guys get a thrill at running to the windows and checking it out.
Normally, the bins are lifted, and the bins are all clean again. [...]

It has been a long time, since I felt a quiet contentment. I felt it today.
Just being stres- free and weightless in a sense. I baked a batch of choc chip cookies in the morning. Took the boys for their swim. Had lunch at a crowded shopping mall. I had super duper spicy beef vindaloo [...]
