Monday, October 24, 2005 at 08:26AM … just another of those imponderables that seem to be plagueing me of late…..
Once you’re in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you
were buried in for eternity???
Saturday, October 22, 2005 at 09:02PM …. and last night was the first night ever that i went out, and let dad have a "gurls night in" with the chickadees.
Bizarro evening. Enough said. And when I got home, i kissed the chicks goodnight, made a jelly sammy and also hit the hay. Morning came fast.
Friday, October 14, 2005 at 09:29AM no - i was *not* watching LOST:
Well.
I screamed.
I cried.
I swore like a sailor.
I found pliers.
I found duct tape.
I am better.
Wednesday, October 12, 2005 at 10:01AM i’m not ready.
well - of course i am - but i have a boatload of things to do in the next 2 days - and it’s not funny!!! :-) Oh me and my overly ambitious self. For Shame.
And it ‘s raining today - so no car wash for me.
Tuesday, October 11, 2005 at 05:10PM … sometimes are just a little too short for my taste….. not enough time, too much stress stuff… and all of a sudden it’s friday again! In a perfect world, this would, of course, be ideal. In my world… there are weeks that i wish would go on for 11 days or more….
Likely it has something to do with lots of started projects, and not enough time to finish them.
:-)

yes, i saw your leetle digital footprints…. :-) that is sooo cute :-)
leetle lost batthis is the real leetle bat…. he’s in another spot again… looks like he’s had a rough go of it.
and this is the back yard - with LOADS of dew… wet toes on both gurl and dog this morning…..
Chevy looking….
Chevy - posing at the top of the stairs this morning…. she saw someone far down the walk, right after i took this picture, and she ran to him, thinking it was you, someone she recognized :-)
ooops - you aren’t supposed to see my "paint cart….
Tuesday, October 4, 2005 at 07:59PM this morning, walking the smapp, we came upon a little baby bat, stuck like glue to the outside staircase at home… we gave it a wide berth, and continued on, hoping that it would find it within itself to get to a better place to nap away the day.
this aft, in full, super cooker sun, it was still there, upside down, eyes tightly shut… we gave it a wide berth, and continued on, wondering how on earth it could be surviving, and what is making it stick to the wall.
tonight, now 2 hours past sunset, it’s still there… we are still giving it a wide berth, but now i wonder - what would happen if i gave it a little poke, like with a spatula, or something longer, like a broom?
it’s not a vampire bat - everyone knows vampires turn to dust in sunlight :-)
i think it’s a "little brown bat"
Sunday, October 2, 2005 at 08:46PM i think it started in grade 12, my obsession with TLJ. an odd interest for an 18 year old girl,if there ever was one… but there’s something about him…. his seriousness, his bizarre sense of humour… something.
regardles, i’ve cultivated this "hobby for the past 15 odd years. and tonight, to keep the flame alive i watched man of the house. one should never see tommy lee with a mud mask or cucumbers on his eyes. sweet jesus, they showed cheerleaders plucking his earhair… is nothing sacred any more?it was sacriledge.
this is the real tommy:
…Was the studio’s original (and preferred) choice to play Snake Plisken in John Carpenter’s Escape from New York Kurt Russell, who ultimately got the part, because of his previous work. (1981). The studio was reluctant to cast
that being said, i still have a smile on my face. tommy can do that.
Sunday, October 2, 2005 at 06:30PM Saturday, October 1, 2005 at 07:27AM and then i am all on my own for 2 weeks. i am teetering between being giddy with delight and morose with loneliness…. we shall see. teetering and tottering is what life’s all about.
walking the smapp this morning was surreal - everything was diffused with gold light and whisps of fog. the waterfront is peaceful at 7 am on a saturday, of that there is no doubt…. the only path i crossed was that of an early morning photographer… and he and i both continued on our way.
Thursday, September 29, 2005 at 08:10AM … the lady at tim horton’s doesn’t even need to ask me what i’d like - she’s already got me punched in, and she’s pouring the triple triple as i approach the counter.
normally this likely wouldn’t impress people - but i go to what is likely the busiest tim horton’s in toronto - in the metro centre…. and it’s impressive that of the thousands of people who get served there daily, she knows i want an extra large triple triple….
it’s a small thing. but it’s a nice thing.
Tuesday, September 27, 2005 at 08:09AM 
ok. i love this bike.
really, really. ok ok ok - you got me - i love it because it’s the only one that goes faster than 60 and you still don’t need a motorcycle licence for it.
The red one actually goes to 80 kms/hr. It’s aptly named "FLASH".Sunday, September 25, 2005 at 09:25AM …. as usual, every 7 or 8 months i get the bug to think about moving… and last week the wiz and i went east - just looking. And we realized that there was nothing that we saw (that was in our pricerange), that we liked better than the location that we are at now….
our locaion is outstanding. the water, the roof, the peace and quiet. (usually)
and so i started to look and see what was in our own (backyard) community…. and there are 3 suites that are bigger and for sale…. and now i’ve spent the past few days crunching numbers and figuring out how to buy something new. Or something else new,
Friday, September 23, 2005 at 09:08PM … yesterday was hot - the good hot, where nothing is sticky, but you don’t need a long sleeve shirt to walk the smapp dog.
And then there was rain.
And then this morning, it was all different, the roof was different, the lawns were different and the smapp dog had a spring in her step. It was the arrival of fall… Somehow between 4 pm yesterday and 7 am this morning, summer disappeared behind a cloud. I didn’t get to say goodbye, but i’m not terribly sad to see it go. Perhaps it left because i bought my first fall outfit yesterday. Silver cords from Point Zero. I’m not a name person, but these cords are outstanding….. now i need boots ;-)
Friday, September 23, 2005 at 09:42AM our neighbourhood is odd. odd in a good way, of course, and no one wants to really think of their neighbourhood as odd in a bad way. our neighbourhood is made up of really swanky condos and townhouses and marinas, interspersed with some co-ops and some subsidized housing.
a few days ago, we went to a neighbourhood meeting to discuss the implications and applications of a new condo developer who wants to put up a monster condo on the water, right beside us - and right behind tip top tailor lofts. 24-37 stories of glass and concrete and nastiness…. blocking people, pets and the rest of the world from the waterfront… not to mention the poor saps who bought lofts at tiptop… for a zillion dollars, will now be starting into a reflective wall, as opposed to the vista of lake ontario. Not ideal….
the community gathering was well turned out - folks were vocal, fired up and emotional… i’m on the fence. i’d like to see a lower building, one that is priced similarly to ours… the last think i want is something really cheap…. :-( and if there could be ammenities, that would rock. would love to be able to get a discounted fitness membership, or be able to use their cool features… oh - and if they could get a starbucks…. :-)
