Tonight, Jason and I are staying in. We want to save our money for San Fransisco. Plus, don’t you find New Year’s Eve a little disappointing? I always do. You spend a ton of money on tickets to some event, buy a new outfit and get all dressed up, and spend way too much on booze at a bar you really don’t want to be at. Naw, I’m not playing that game this year.
My wonderful...
I'm back at work. Boo Hiss! And I'm sick. Double...
The Hot Tub
Tonight, my family sat in a hot tub together. Yes, it was really cold. The freezing rain fell on us. Yes, we ran in the snow on our bare feet to get to the hot tub. But there we were. Me, Jason, my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, and my niece and nephew. All of us in the hot tub. My tribe that lives on a rock in the North Atlantic and we party in a hot tub in December because that’s...
Grandma's House
We’re about to go to my Gam’s house. This is where every single picture from my childhood lives.
I apologize in advance for any pictures Jason may or may not post.
Visiting family + drinking = possibly accidently...
Yeah. Oops.
Please. Send. Help. Must. Stop. Eating.
Dear family
Please, for the love of God, stop feeding me. I don’t need spaghetti, turkey and steak for supper.
That means you too, Jason.
I want to go to Newfoundland

I saw a thing earlier this year that, not only do they have men, they have sex more frequently than anywhere else. Just hang on, I’m packing. See you there.
monkeyfrog:
Do they have men there?
YAY!
Yes, lots of men. And they know how to have a good time. *wink wink*
How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen! What old December’s bareness everywhere! And yet this time removed was summer’s time, The teeming autumn, big with rich increase, Bearing the wanton burden of the prime, Like widowed wombs after their lords’ decease: Yet this abundant issue seemed...
Any Mummers Allowed In?
There is one Newfoundland Christmas tradition that I rather enjoy. It’s called Mumming and it’s been around since Medieval times. My ancestors brought it over from the British Isles and Newfoundland is one of the few places on Earth that carries on the tradition.
Basically, people get dressed up (they are called mummers or jannies) and go door-to-door and you have to let them in. They perform...
Just like fashion, Snowmageddon is hitting Nova...
It’s getting real bad out there. I can barely see across the street. Good thing we have lots of drinky drinks.
Jason's Nana is cool
We just went out to dinner with Jason’s grandparents. When we told them we were going to see Avatar, she promptly explained the entire plot. She is 80. Jason gets most of his awesome from her. It’s genetic.

Okay. So it would appear that I, in fact, chose a brute of a Christmas Tree from the lot today as it hasn’t been in the house five minutes and it already fell over and smashed a votive holder thingy to smithereens. Eeep!
Merry Christmas. I swept it up. Can I has cookie now?
YES! Have a cookie and a glass of eggnog. Last year, our tree actually fell on a friend during our...
Jason, don't forget we have to pick up a salad on...
This is so much better than talking on the phone.

Talent?
Gosh, I wish I knew what I was good at. Seriously. I have no idea. I can’t draw or take good pictures or sculpt or cook or play guitar. I’m not overly intellectual or well read. I see all the awesome Low Resolution Theater stuff and my husband’s drawings and I wish that I had that kind of talent. My talents are much less defined. I know a lot about pop culture. I can fit into...
My evening… my nightmare…
Yummy Nicaraguan rum
I’ve moved on from red wine to Nicaraguan rum. We were in Nicaragua last year. The bathrooms were even scarier than the Taiwan airport and that’s saying something.
We have been to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Mexico, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Florida, North Carolina, Dominican Republic, Taiwan, mainland Malaysia, Malaysian Borneo, California, and we lived in Ontario.
Our house is falling...
TV is so 2008
Since joining Tumblr about 4 months ago, I’ve noticed I’m watching a lot less TV. Even when it’s on, I’m on my laptop doing something else. And I thought to myself:
Self… Tumblr is so much better than TV. I get to interact with the characters and not just watch them. Which is so much more fun.
I wonder what will happen on next week’s episode?
angelablack:
Yep. Singing again. Inspired by...

Gratuitous Paragraph About You Wednesday
Well, I’m good. I’m just drinking coffee. Kind of tired. Wishing it was Friday and not Wednesday. I’m actually rather boring, aren’t I? I like cheese. Maybe I’ll pick up some wine on the way home from the gym. I think I need a manicure. Today I’m wearing red. I would like a chocolate chip cookie to go with my coffee. I wish I lived somewhere warm. There’s a storm coming. Actually, I don’t...
