Awfully Chipper: Friday dinner: Cook like it's BBC 2 — 02.5.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Number 1 in a week of dinners. Also: Yowdy, pardner.

Chaos Attraction: Craft And Book Shopping Fun — 02.4.2012 by Jennifer
I've never seen a bookstore so full in all my life. I am surprised they still take more used books because HOLY SHIT THEY ARE FULL. There is no way you can go through the entire store and find stuff, there are so many piles.

(Long-term planning.) Any movement generally makes me go 'nnnnnnnngh', which is not how C+C Music Factory would have it, so I'm taking it easy.

Awfully Chipper: A lick and a promise — 02.3.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Chapstick and interesting things to come.

(Egos and icons.) I'm a firm believer in the fallibility of humans.

Still Waters Run No Mills — 02.2.2012 by planetmort
Seriously, I have read fairy tales and science fiction that seemed more like the life I lead than the Elsie Dinsmore books.

Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 02.2.2012 by blau
(Rights to lady parts.) As a point of interest, are men het up about this too? Because they really should be, and more often. This isn't just a feminist issue, but a human one.

Still Waters Run No Mills — 02.1.2012 by planetmort
Of course, reading that post also reminded me what else I felt going through all that: totally enraged and pissed off.

Awfully Chipper: The natural — 01.31.2012 by Maud_Gonne
An answer, in a roundabout way, to yesterday's question.

Still Waters Run No Mills — 01.31.2012 by planetmort
Book review: Uncovered.

(Disappointments.) I also lost it at a bank teller, ironically on the day I read about www.youredoingitright.com.

...there's got to be a pony in here somewhere — 01.30.2012 by Cowgirl_Jules
I spent the weekend surrounded by birds, and it was good.

Chaos Attraction: No Loaning — 01.30.2012 by Jennifer
I'm not going to be able to pull off a move this year-- or hell, maybe ever for all I know. (First of two.)

Awfully Chipper: Spice of — 01.29.2012 by Maud_Gonne
A conversation with my mother.

(Flours.) I'm surprised he doesn't have scurvy. Perhaps the salsa content in his blood helps.

Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 01.28.2012 by blau
(Constructive uses of time.) My general ambivalence to Rush, 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes', and poutine, makes me one of the worst Canadians alive.

Awfully Chipper: Grrrls — 01.27.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Let the riots begin.

(Crunch time.) My naturally slim friend (who is a badass yoga teacher) gets a lot of flak for her size too, and people make comments about her healthy appetite (because she frickin' teaches yoga and needs fuel), suggesting that maybe she, I dunno, has an eating disorder? Is sooooooo lucky she can eat whatever she wants which makes her a f***ing bitch?

Awfully Chipper: Wordation — 01.26.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Where does "Aw, nuts!" lie on the scale of things not to say, anyway?

Still Waters Run No Mills — 01.26.2012 by planetmort
I swim faster, which is awesome.

Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 01.26.2012 by blau
(Rehashing.) I might work in Happy Fun Town Movieland, but do you ever want to stay at work two hours late? Even to watch a movie?

Chaotic Motherhood — 01.25.2012 by Mickey17
On rudeness and middle school PE teachers.

Awfully Chipper: Running into trouble — 01.25.2012 by Maud_Gonne
A pootle round the lake.

(Social media experimentation.) So far, my email call (put out yesterday afternoon) has resulted in an argument, which was not expected, but could result in interesting discussions. Or just torpedo the whole idea.

Awfully Chipper: Goings-on ongoing — 01.24.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Exercise, underwear, mini-croissants, flying penguins, and the lack thereof.

Still Waters Run No Mills — 01.24.2012 by planetmort
You don’t get fat and then, boom, get teh diabetes.

Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 01.24.2012 by blau
(Tedium.) The team did admirably under the circumstances, but it really felt never (ever) ending at times. Outdoorsy types, eh? They just never stop eating because they totally skied 80km this morning before biking to work from Kingston in the sleet.

Awfully Chipper: Up and Down — 01.23.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Penguins!

Jan for All Seasons — 01.23.2012 by Jan
I have to tell you that I do not feel nearly hip enough to hang out at the Genius Bar, but I did have an iPhone and a black scarf, so it was okay.

Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 01.23.2012 by blau
(Criticism.) I packed a whole weekend's worth of stuff into one day (yesterday), neglecting some less frivolous things. I might regret that later. I already regret getting involved in singing Bonnie Tyler because I woke up with the earworm back and firmly implanted, possibly forever.

Awfully Chipper: Note to self — 01.22.2012 by Maud_Gonne
We went skating. Mabel peed on the ice. Great.

Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 01.21.2012 by blau
(Skeletons made of meat.) Having the physical strength to get common shit done (I'm not talking about hauling buses, just, like, being able to carry a bag of cat litter in from the car - spinster chores, y'know?) is a good thing.

Awfully Chipper: Fingerwalking — 01.20.2012 by Maud_Gonne
I have created a new category, called Blathering.

Jan for All Seasons — 01.20.2012 by Jan
If you want to have your mind blown sometime, ask a little kid to explain what the Internet is.

Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 01.20.2012 by blau
(Putting.) I am one of those GIANT PURSE people because, y'never know when you might need something like a Montréal subway ticket, three different notebooks (each about 1/4 full), foreign coins, and all the receipts from all of one's purchases from the past month.

Still Waters Run No Mills — 01.19.2012 by planetmort
I recently lost my blase attitude about the extra padding I’m hauling around these days, though.

Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 01.19.2012 by blau
(Writing long paragraphs.) We're having a ridiculously busy month at the cinema, which is great. January is usually good, because we get at least a couple of Oscar favourites. We're also the kind of place that people resolving to watch more movies in the new year tend to go.

Awfully Chipper: Daughters — 01.18.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Being a girl, having a girl.

Awfully Chipper: Rules for co-sleeping — 01.17.2012 by Maud_Gonne
A few pointers for my daughter.

(Benedict Cumberbatch.) After one Euchre night in Lowertown, we could easily have you talking like the best Eastern Ontario trash.
