http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress Politics made personal in BC Mon, 22 Mar 2010 02:51:05 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en At dinner tonight, Liam was talking about the puppy next door, who happens to be the most adorable Australian Shepherd ever. In fact, he was pretending to be her, and after some random comments about chasing our cat, "Callie the dog" started the toilet talk. The table conversation was ... http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress/?p=829 Well. This is strange, isn't it? Me writing? Well, don't take it personally, but I have been writing. Just not here. Sorry. I am afraid that I've been making time for letters to the editor, and letters to Council, communicating, connecting, and collaborating with my Community Association peeps, and there's ... http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress/?p=824 It seems that unless I abandon sleep, exercise, eating, work, or my family, I am not going to be able to write as much as I'd like. My sister once told me that believe it or not, as the kids get older, you get even busier! I would never have ... http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress/?p=822 We had a very busy day today, with gymnastics, and parties for both the kids and adults, but thankfully it all began very slowly. I enjoyed to the fullest a few hours of lounging around drinking hot coffee in my new mug, still in my pj's, wrapped in blankets on ... http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress/?p=815 And she looks a little like this... Yes, things have gotten interesting again around here the last few days (as if they were ever dull). Our neighbours got a little puppy last weekend, and by little, I'm not exaggerating. She is a Shih-tzu/Maltese cross, and so petite that they can't get ... http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress/?p=814 On Sunday, Liam was thoroughly enjoying playing with his very loose front tooth, and took every opportunity to gross me out by clicking it around in his mouth. It was hanging by a thread, so he allowed Len to pull out, which he almost immediately regretted. He had lost the ... http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress/?p=812 The temperature seems to have dropped a little today, putting me more in mind of all-things-winter, and it's come as a bit of a shock. I suppose it could be worse, as there's no frost, and I can still see the purple of my petunias outside. And having just heard ... http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress/?p=810 After work today, I was watching the kids play Lego, and talking to them about the highlights of their day. For some reason, that I can't bring myself to remember now, Meghan denied that she had a birthday. She insisted that she did not turn four ten days ago. "I ... http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress/?p=805 I guess my creativity is lacking, because without a camera, and therefore, a photo to get me started, I don't write. And sadly, the camera remains unfixed, and a new one just out of reach. In case you were wondering, I have been doing a whole lot of nothing the last ... http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress/?p=804 For a moment, I was left wondering what to write about tonight. My first instinct is to go on ad nauseum, as I have been doing, about how busy I've been. But, I think that subject has been well and truly exhausted, and my lack of posts makes the point ... http://www.chezkirby.ca/wordpress/?p=802
