We spent the day at Word on the Street, the annual book festival. I love it so much! I signed up for a quarterly French book service (with my daughter in mind, as we'd like to send her to French immersion when the time comes). I also found a mini version of The Paper Bag Princess, just lying on the ground. Poor book!...

I love this weather! Fresh and clean and not too hot (though I do love summer). I wish I had more time to go out for walks ... and I wish my feet were up for those walks. (Ow, ow, ow ... they weren't kidding when they say your feet swell up in pregnancy.) I went out today for a short walk because I can't...

I got really round over the last couple of weeks! eeek It's kind of alarming. I also didn't think my boobs could/would get any bigger, but they did. I'm going to try and do pregnancy photoshoot to commemorate the occasion, because I'm only planning on being pregnant once. (Adoption, adoption, adoption, if we want more kids after this one. The first one's adopted anyway, so we...

I think people tend to update less when things are going well in their lives. It's not that interesting to write about how fabulous your life is, and how wonderful your family is, and how you love your job. If someone's going through a tough spot, they'll update regularly to bitch about it. I know it makes me feel better, just letting it out. Personally,...

I tend to update more when things are going well, for the sole reason that I almost feel bad about bitching and whining about my shitty life. Of course, those types of journals still sneak through, but I try my best to keep it positive.

I still remember my first time getting stung. I was probably four or five and was standing (probably pacing), impatient and barefoot, in the driveway while my mom was talking to a neighbor. I stepped on something and, thinking it was a driveway pebble or something, I lifted up my foot to brush it off. The bee was still all squirming and attached by its ass to the sole of my foot. I promptly freaked the fuck out, effectively ending my mom's boring conversation with the neighbor.

And that is my bee sting story!

More positivity would be good. biggrin

I make really good baked macaroni and cheese. It's really easy to make from scratch, too:

Preheat oven to 400F.

Sauce
1. In a small saucepan, melt three tablespoons of butter on medium heat.
2. Stir in three tablespoons of flour, and make sure there are no lumps.
3. Slowly blend in a cup of milk, stirring constantly.
4. Add a whole bunch of grated...

I'm in Ottawa for the loooooong weekend. Happy Canada day, you shmucks!

Yesterday it we went to a BBQ with my husband's family. Today, it was my father's 60th birthday party. I'm all social-ed out, but I've still got two more days of people to see. I did want a vacation!

So Mugabe "won" the election, after all that. Colour me not shocked, but dissapointed....

My mother was visiting for a few days, so my husband and I actually (gasp) went out on a date last night! wink We saw In Bruges at this movie theatre that I swear hasn't been updated for at least forty years, probably longer. It was great! The movie is fantastic, even with the bit at the end that reminds me of the Rigor Mortis...
