< Chase and his snow >

By | February 14, 2013

It’s February, it’s warmer and the snow is melting. Well, there weren’t that much snow to begin with. Just the sporadic snow fall of an inch or two. Then freezing Arctic cold for a few days and then warm up. Chase loves the snow. He will walk, sit, and lay on it. I swear this [...]

I have a few good pairs of watches that are sitting in my jewelry boxes. To be honest, I once love watches. I gave my Guy Laroche watch away to my SD. It was a gift from my ex. So why keep it, right? I was eyeing a raymond weil one time and yes, I [...]

By | January 18, 2013

It’s been a month since I signed the lease to my new place. I have to say it’s so nice to be at my own place without anyone bugging me! I still have lots of miscellaneous things laying around the apartment that buying some cheap plastic storage bins will help keep the clutter at bay. [...]

Weekend with the young-uns

By | October 8, 2012

This weekend M&K’s oldest and youngest were back for the T__in Ci*ies Marathon. The eldest came from the Northwest and the youngest from ND. I know the day would come I will meet them but didn’t know it would be so soon and it was very uncomfortable. Most probably it’s me, the anti-social! The youngest, [...]

Fall boots

What do you want to do when you grow up

By | September 11, 2012

Went to work yesterday afternoon. We surprised how slow business was. In fact the Mexican restaurant on the corner lot was quiet too. When the kid came back from his regular school, he went straight for his Spanish lessons which are conducted via Skype. Not bad at all. So when he was done, he started [...]

Being neighborly

By | September 6, 2012

I am now going around the neighborhood with the P’s and mingle with them neighbors. The men are always out on the driveway with their brew and cigars. The ladies are in the kitchen having wine except me, I have water. Nothing beats ice water on hot days. Honestly, I am not a social butterfly. [...]

The church was busy rallying for some kind of donation earlier this year. I did not partake in it. I have put in couple tens every month and that is way too much already for me!!! I did it just for the sake of tax deductions! So I guess some kind and very generous donors [...]
