Fandom just got a little more affordable
Do you like Comic and Entertainment conventions? Are you in Calgary? Do you knit? The Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo will be taking place at our Stampede grounds from April 24th through April 27th. The Husbeast and I have weekend tickets purchased and will be going to say hi to friends and get a good […]
All I need is a small alien friend in my basket.
I got to go on my first Full Moon Ride tonight! Robin and I loaded up Frankie and Elwood (our Pashleys) and headed downtown to meet up with the group. I can now say that having a C-Train stop two or three blocks away from the house is very convenient. We met up with Chelsea […]
Weekend in Review
Here’s the short version of my weekend: We met our brand-new honourary nephew. You’ll notice that Robin actually looks fairly comfortable holding the baby. This is because every time a baby is born, we shove the small squirming human into his arms, take a few pictures of both him & the baby looking uncomfortable, and […]
Sometimes you get it right
I’ve been meaning to post for days. To tell the truth, I’ve had distinct feelings of “Bloggers Guilt” for not posting sooner. Part of that is due to the fact that I’ve been going through a kind of “knitter’s block”, and part of that is due to a lack of time. We’ll take it in […]
Tour de Noel: Tree #4
Last but not least, my parents’ tree! Mum always threatens to do a theme tree, but I love the familiar jumbled look of the ornaments. Many of the ornaments are new, but that’s because Mum has handed many of the family ornaments to my brother and I (at least, I think my brother has the […]
Tour de Noel: Tree #3
Happy boxing day! I’m carrying the merriment forward a day or two, seeing as there were at least four or five trees in my Yule, I present the first of my two Christmas Day trees. This is the tree in my in-laws’ house. Robin’s parents’ main floor has wonderfully high ceilings, so I needed to […]
Tour de Noel: Tree #2
Today’s tree is courtesy Robin’s brother and his lovely significant other, who hosted our Christmas Eve festivities. It was a definite non-traditional fare this year, with the main dish being home-cooked Ribs. And as an added bonus: Robin with a baby! This is our newest niece, Darby. She’s almost 2 months old. She’s already holding […]
Tour de Noel
We don’t have a Christmas Tree this year. We don’t really have any space in the living room, and we haven’t really had a lot of time to get festive with work changes and stuff. Basically, we’re spending Christmas anywhere but home due to the Family Migratory Pattern of events. So for the next couple […]
Hands off my Coffee Crisp
Someone in this household picked up discount Hallowe’en candy at the grocery store. And it’s a Coffee Crisp-heavy load. To quote the Husbeast, “I love Coffee Crisp, and I never get any for Hallowe’en”. When I was a kid, I had to fight tooth-and-nail for Coffee Crisp and Mars. For years, I’d be absolutely […]
