Day 344

You knew it was coming.

Day 343

I was out shopping today at lunch and saw this cute shirt for Callum.  I thought it was pretty fitting after yesterday's post.  I probably only bought it to fill the day's picture.  I am totally grasping at straws for picture ideas.  Don't be surprised if tomorrow's picture is of a straw.

Day 342

We have a lot of birthdays in our family in December.  It is what happens when you are an Irish Catholic family and it is 9 months after St. Paddy's day.

Day 341

I ordered a few books for Callum for Christmas.  They have a lot of pictures and very little words.  Darren also likes pictures and no story, albeit different pictures :P.

Day 340

Got milk?  Cause I got 6 dozen cookies that need to be washed down.

Day 339

Powder sugar can really fly!

Day 338

I have been fighting a cold for weeks.  You know the feeling.  Scratchy throat.  Chills.  Feeling like you are on something, but you aren't.  I have killed a lot of these trying to prevent that scratchy throat from turning into a runny nose or full blown cough.

Day 337

The weekend flyers seem really weak for the first weekend in December.  I bet this some weird indicator of the economy, like when lipstick or canned soup sales go up.  I wish I knew what it meant, but I am really too tired to think any more about it.  I will just sip my wine while I see what is on sale.

Day 336

I call this the season of torture.  I buy things for love ones that I want myself and then I torture myself by not buying duplicates of everything.

Day 335

I have to bring a gag gift to dinner tonight.  Nothing makes me gag more than a box of boogers.

Day 334

The warm snap we recently had totally confused my spring bulbs.  The frost will kill them right?  I guess I shouldn't be disappointed that they don't come up in the spring.  At least I will have something to blame other than my lack of a green thumb.

Day 333

I am still disappointed that you don't get a toblerone bar with the festive special.  Yes, I have a hard time adapting to change.

Day 332

Those cheeks!

Day 331

Well, I was having a craptacular week until I checked the mail.  This cheque was waiting for me.  I knew a cheque was waiting for me, but I did not realize it was this amount.  I am usually really good with keeping track of money, but this one completely fell through the cracks.  I will never make fun of friends who keep their investments in pesos again.

Day 330

My joshua tree.

Day 329

A couple of friends texted me wondering if I wanted to meet them for dinner as they were heading to my favorite pub in my 'hood.  I had just finished dinner, but I am always up for girl chat and dessert.  Both were much needed!

Day 328

The leftovers when the carnivore in the house orders the pizza.  Our dog has no idea how lucky he is to live with a veggie lover!

Day 327

I bought a new lock, and because I am a grade 8 boy listening to Metallica and thinking of Alyssa Milano (I wonder what the 2010 equivalent to this is?) I had to put the dial to 666.

Day 326

I love that in my neighbourhood Kraft Dinner is a graffiti worthy swear word.

Day 325

Every time I buy fennel I have the same checkout boy.  He never knows what it is.  Today I told him it tastes like licorice.  He then was interested.  What is it about the Y chromosome that will only eat vegetables that taste like candy?
