My muse: A Hermit Crab named Neptune

Two days ago, I walked into my Grandmother’s kitchen to sample her latest batch of cookies, checking them, as I always do, for poison.  I avail her of this free service twice weekly and I know from the way she watches me devour my heaping plate of baked goods that she’s relieved and grateful.  …

Does Katy Perry Look like ME?

Does Katy Perry look like ME? Well? Look-A-Like? Over the past year, tonnes of people have stopped me on the street and in malls saying that I look like Katy Perry.  It’s getting crazy.  I get frequent comments from friends on Facebook, reiterating the same thing.    It seems like every few days someone mentions this…

Bra and Panty Combo Fail

I wasn’t having much luck finding cute bras online, so I decided to do a quick scan of Etsy.com, to see what was available in the handmade department.  As luck would have it, I stumbled across a few gems.  Observe. For a mere $70.00, this too can be yours: I hate to break it to…

Caribbean blogger

Just to update everyone, I successfully made the move to the island of Grenada.  Sorry I haven’t updated my blog in a few weeks, but I was busy packing up my things in Canada, shipping items and getting ready to country hop.  Check out the view from my new home.  This is what I see…

The One Ring

Several years ago, while watching The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I became seduced by the notion of a magical ring that inspired slavish devotion in its wearer.   I too wanted a ring I could cradle and rock, call “my precious” and croon nonsensically to in a cave somewhere.   The ring seemed like a lot…

The Mayan Apocalypse – A Survivor’s Story

I woke up this morning, after sleeping in, and was pleasantly surprised to be alive.  I made it through the Mayan Apocalypse unscathed!  End of Days?  Pfft.  Please.  I’ve been high fiving people for hours.  Not sure how the rest of the world fared, but Canada (the land of the virtuous) seems to be okay. …
