TorontUp: TWEETUMBLUP IN TORONTO! Saturday, June... →
torontup:
Come to Toronto! See Toronto stuff! Meet Toronto people! Drink Toronto drinks! Stare at Canadians! They probably won’t have a gun. If you’re already from Toronto or Canada, some of this stuff won’t be as exciting. I’m sorry.
There are two Jays games that weekend, and NXNE is on, so there should…

Don't lie to me or I'll get angry. And you don't...
So, Jason and I joined a gym today. Not a new thing for me. I use to work out a lot at a gym in Nova Scotia. I’m not what you call a “gym expert” but I’m no newbie either.
While I’m happy to get back to being uber fit, I really dislike crap. And I hate being lied too. WITH THE HEAT OF A THOUSAND SUNS.
We were told today we *had* to have a personal trainer give us...

Fashion issues
I have issues. A whole lot of issues. Hey, we all do. Well, all the interesting people do.
My issue is with the color red. Why? Because red is my color. It always has been. Even as a child, red was my signature color. My beret. My scarf. My class pictures. Always with the vibrant, primary red.
Fast forward to 2012. Toronto, Canada. Everybody and their elderly grandma is decked out in red....

2012
I’m happy and healthy. I love my job, my family, and my husband. I live a charmed life and I know it.
But my gut is telling me 2012 may be bumpy.
Like I’m flying first class, but there’s turbulence coming. And all the free food, booze, and leg room can’t stop it.
Here’s hoping my gut is wrong this time.
Tom Cruise... what?
Can someone tell me when Tom Cruise got “hot” again?
He was done. Finished. Over. He jumped on a couch and made a fool of himself. He believes in some crazy alien god. Married a Dawson who has no talent and got old.
But the man is still a badass. He does his own stunts. And “Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol” is really really good.
I don’t want to like...
I haven’t been posting a lot to this lately.
It’s cause I’ve been busy at work and stuff.
Drinkie-drinkie, Happy Christmas.
I still look the same and I’m still awesome.
Cat’s still awesome.
Husband’s still lame.
Damselesque out, motherfuckers.
Duke
Duke is gone and I’m crying like a baby.
I can’t help it. My eyes hurt.

Who raised you — a family of goats? What kind of person literally body-slams another person out of the way to cross the street? Most civilized people say “Excuse me, can I get by”? We’re both small women with good hair. We’re simpatico.
The difference between us is you’re a meanie-pants who likes shoving other women out of the way without even looking at them or...
Weirdness
I am the definition of detail orientated. Cut once, measure three times. So, when my landlord tells me to turn off the outdoor lights so they can trap the raccoons living in our walls — yes, that’s right — I do it. And then I check that there are no lights on outside. And then I check again.
Some time passes, I have a few glasses of wine, and I notice the lights are on outside. But I...
Monday
Today started kind of badly. I had a mini-fight with Jason (he forgot to grab my lunch from the fridge) and I was moody. It was very gray and rainy this afternoon. Work was blah.
Not a great Monday.
But, as I left work, I saw LMFAO shaking their junk and dancing their asses off. Wearing nothing more than tiny, glittering underwear. Outlining their adorable little pee-pees. LIVE.
And I knew...
WatchMy husband is a sexy sexy oh god someone save me.
Horrible self-realization
Today, I came to a sad and horrible self-realization.
I AM NOT A HIPSTER.
I went to that hipster-dress-up-site-thing and none of the outfit/hair/face options looked remotely like me.
My husband said I am too “stylish” and more of a “get a job, you dirty hippies” type.
The man knows me better than I know myself.
Mute weekend.
Jason is away on a work retreat somewhere in the Canadian Rockies this weekend. And I couldn’t be happier!
I slept in. Got a long bubble bath. Watched silly tv. Pooped with the bathroom door open.
It’s a lovely crisp fall day here in Toronto. So, I’m going to walk to the grocery store and buy snacks, then to the liquor store for booze supplies, watch scary movies, and maybe...

I Hate the Subway
Before I moved back to Toronto, I romanticized the subway. So cool and so urban. Living in Nova Scotia, I guess I missed the hustle and bustle of big city public transportation. Now that I take the subway twice a day, five days a week, I have come to the realization it is one of the circles of hell. It brings out the absolute worst in people, including myself. Normally sweet, mild-mannered humans...

Just another day at the office.
I’m currently listening to Coldplay rehearsing outside my office building. It is raining and they are very loud. I can even hear them while I’m peeing in the bathroom.
Earlier, I sat next to a Cylon in the cafeteria.
I'm so vain
I just totally cut off my hair on a whim. It’s the shortest it’s been since I was a baby. Being a longed-haired brunette was such a part of my psyche for most of my life, I now have to readjust my self-image.
It’s good to shake things up, I think. We are more than our hair or shoes or Coach purses. Once I wrap my mind around this new, much shorter hair style, I’ll post a...
A good day
Today was a good day. Nay, a great day! Let me explain to you why in point form below. Please read on:
- My hair looks amazing.
- I wore my new faux snake-skin dress to work. It also looks amazing.
- My vacation requests for September (I’m going home to Newfoundland for my Gammy’s birthday in two weeks) and October (going to Nova Scotia to visit Jason’s family and attend a...
