  • my most embarassing high school photo

    March 10, 2010

    • Picture this. you are sitting in the cafetaria at lunch with your friends, minding your own business --eating the swill of the day special and click there is the high school yearbook paparazzi taking a kodak moment just as you are taking a bite of the mystery meat in question.  Aside from the class picture for graduation and my mug shot; that is the only pic they took of me that year.  Why ...
  • Who are the people in your neighborhood

    March 3, 2010

    • I have to say that even after four months of being in my new apartment. I really don't know my neighbors well. Rick in the front unit of our 5 plex is loud and over bearing.  I am sure there are some good qualities about him I just can't say that I have found any yet.--He does however have a nice well behaved dog named Lola who used to belong to my friend Joleen. Karen unit the unit at the other ...
  • My Favorite Novel--The Thornbirds.

    January 28, 2010

    • One of my all time favorite novels follows the family saga of an irish family living on a sheepstation in Australia. The story takes us from the 1930's to the 1950's. It basically features Meggie and her relationship with Father Ralph De Bricasart as a young  child through to her adult years where she falls in love with him.  There is alot to be said about forbidden love of a young woman and a ...

    • My favorite poem is Sick by Shel Silverstein. I feel this way about it because when my daughter was in grade 2 they recited it as a play and it was so cute.
  • My work

    January 6, 2010

    • My sibs think my work should involve 9-5 drudgery in a job I hate just to help my husband. Ok I agree 20 hr a week job would be good to go back to after 4 yrs of being sick. It's what I can handle.  In the meantime writing novels has been my work. I haven't made a lot of money from the 2 novels but it was still work.  While I was off on leave I  also volunteered alot. I am considered budget ...

    November 4, 2009

    • I would have to say my fave book store to by new books is Chapters. We have a local store. it's homey and comes complete with a starbucks. I also like our towns selection of used book stores. We have 4 in same block and another good one not too far away. I also like the worlds biggest bookstore in downtown Toronto. Beside that is a great used bookstore BMV--Books, Magazines and videos.
  • Halloween

    October 28, 2009

    • Hi tis the season  to be scary.  Another  religious  holiday for those who  practice the Wiccan religion or Catholics who believe in the saints and pay homage to them, to be turned into a commercial  cash grab. We have seen the birth  of Christ turn into an opportunity to shop til we drop and pay homage to a person in a red suit sporting a beard dropping presents down a  chimney.  ...
