Remind me again why people go crazy & feral when Xmas shopping?!?!?…I need 2 ibuprofen & a bottle of vodka

Just finished blowing all the neighbors on my block... And that dear friends is how rumours get started(snow-blowing) 😉

Decorations are up and the trees are assembled! 🎄 The time-honored tradition of intense tree fluffing now begins, preparing them for their eventual trimming. The spirit is here! ✨ #ChristmasCountdown #HolidaySeason

There’s nothing quite like waking up to a city blanketed in thick sparkly frost and a fog so thick it feels like a dream. 🌨️✨ It's quiet, magical mornings that remind you of the simple beauty in the world. Wishing i could go explore instead of rushing into work #WinterMagic #FrostedCity

A slice of Nanaimo bar & a gingerbread flavoured coffee to start my morning. Wishing my American friends & family a Happy (and hopefully stress free)Thanksgiving!

Coffee in bed prior to 5AM…wish I could stay in bed for another 3 hours, but responsibilities/duties call….

The 11 candles was distracting me, so rounded it out to an even dozen😂😂😂…now to hunt down the electric tea lights

Decided to add an extra candle to my logs to round it out to an even dozen…now to hunt down the electric tea lights

Spent some time today playing with big sticks and power tools, and no that’s not an euphemism😉😉…our fireplace burns gel fuel and it makes me uncomfortable, but burning candles or preferably battery powered ones AOK

Sunday morning bliss! 🥰 Kicked off the day with breakfast out with the hubby, followed by shopping for all things festive: cozy Christmas candles and the ugliest (best!) Xmas sweaters. 🎄☕🛍️

A FB memory popped up from 2010. Not sure what’s more shocking, my floppy & glossy non greying hair, or the fact that at the time I remember feeling tired, frumpy & grumpy …at least somethings don’t change… “curmudgeonly since birth”😜 #throwback

Oh I would love for a reporter to put Bullshit Barbie in her place.

Was so tired and burnt out last night I fell asleep in my work clothes. Now I'm contemplating if wearing the same rumpled outfit a day later counts as sustainable fashion😜♻️😴 #burntout

Delivered the hubby’s entry off for festival of trees…can now breathe easily as it has survived my driving without a mishap…😅

Swedish Deputy PM: Sweden needs to pick its friends wisely, and we are choosing Canada… So when we come to America, we come to Canada now.

Nothing better than opening the blinds to a silent, sparkling, brand-new snowy morning. ❄️🌨️☃️#Snowfall #MorningMagic #Grateful

The hubby is getting his entry ready for the “Festival of Trees” & our house has never smelled more lovely. So proud & a little bit envious of his talent for building something so wonderful out of gingerbread. He still has some finishing touches to do, but it’s already fabulous! ❤️ #ProudSpouse

The Senate’s approval came just hours after the House approved the release of the files in a 427-1 vote.

We all are

A new cushion for my rocking chair arrived today! While I was busy attaching it, my little muppet of a pup decided the old one was officially his new throne. Guess I'm not the only one getting a comfy cozy upgrade. 🐾🪑❤️ #puppylove #rockingchair

Watching a cozy rom-com and working on a baby blanket for a colleague’s fast arriving baby. The perfect way to spend a day off! 🥰

Celebrity Traitors fave Joe Wilkinson has teamed up with a certain A-list star for the new festive ad.

'People who exercise are more likely to eat well, not smoke, look after their heart health and have fewer financial stresses. This makes it hard to know which factor is having the biggest effect' ...

The Manitoba-born spymaster who’s thought to be the real-life inspiration for James Bond

A wonderful side effect of the Supreme Court's decision not to hear Kim Davis' bullshit appeal.

Now THIS is the kind of news I like to wake up to on Monday mornings!!!!

The 🇺🇸American romantic-comedy “NINOTCHKA” starring Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas had its New York premiere at Radio City Music Hall #OnThisDay in 1939 🎬 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

Lovely to see this support to all brave people… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

“There are rainy days in autumn and stormy days in winter when the rocking chair in front of the fire simply demands an accompanying book.”-Theodore Roosevelt In other words I’m thrilled to be the 4th generation to have this chair…great grand parents received as a wedding present in 1902

Nothing better than coming home to a cuddle monster who missed me for leaving him with “the other human”😜

Nice little dump of snow fell last night…at born father insisted on helping me shovel snow in spite of the fact he is still healing from a very nasty broken arm where they had to completely rebuild his elbow and install a steel plate 🥴

Dear lord my father saves everything…they’re downsizing and is making me go through things claiming what I want….came across my volunteer pass from China…can’t believe I was ever such a skinny twink

The hubs and I were describing someone to a friend. Hubby called her a sweet granny type, & I said she’s way too young. Well my darling Hubby almost wore his teeth as a necklace when he pointed out I could easily be a grandfather without myself nor my imaginary child having been a teen parent. 🥴🥴👴🏻

“Apparently every gay has a childhood picture that predicts they're gonna be gay”…One pic? Oh puh-lease…I could publish a photographic encyclopedia set with all the copious pics my parents have….

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Tried my hand, this evening, at making maple candied pecans with vanilla & cinnamon. The aroma filling the kitchen is pure comfort — perfect for a relaxing evening of snacking!😜🍁🍬 #HomeSweetHome

Lake Louise Ski Resort will be opening for the 2025-26 season earlier than anticipated.

Started the Christmas baking in earnest today 🎄🧁! Got a batch of Christmas Cracker toffee cooling & fresh butter tarts out of the oven 🥧. Normally skip the fussy tart pastry, but these turned out beautifully – look & taste amazing! #HolidayBaking #ChristmasTreats

Wear lederhosen and suddenly I’m a cross between The Sound of Music, Pinocchio, and Geppetto. Halloween costume level: puppet show meets musical! 🎃🎶🤥 #HappyHalloween

I finished reading V IS FOR VENOM by Kathryn Harkup yesterday. I love the mix of history, true crime, literature, and chemistry in both this book and A IS FOR ARSENIC. Harkup does such a good job describing the chemistry of the different poisons. The #chemsky will love this one! 🧪⚛️🐍 #booksky

Worked late last night, didn’t fall a sleep until after midnight, & I’ve been wide-eyed since 5AM… Opening shift today, & honestly, I resemble a rabid raccoon—wild, confused, dark circles around eyes & look like I just crawled out of a dumpster 🦝😅 #FeralVibes
