Music Monday – “Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa/Ma ma se, ma ma sa/Ma ma coo sa”

Back from a week in Mexico and will likely do some resort-themed posts over the next few days starting with this one… And my big thought of the day is – I really have no idea why most Cancun resorts have a Michael Jackson impersonator as one of their nightly shows when you never see […]

Music Monday – “I can almost smell the perfumed nights/And see the starry sky/I wish you comin’ with me baby/’Cause right before my eye”

Isn’t the Internet amazing? I heard this song on my random “Flow” playlist the other day.  It’s a song from 1977 by an obscure New Zealand band that I’d never heard before but it felt fitting even though we’re going to Mexico instead of Cuba, leaving in February instead of April, but hoping for sun […]

Normally I’d Save A Post Like This For Music Monday…

…but this feels unique enough to deserve a stand-alone post:  

Music Monday – “Every whisper/Of every waking hour I’m/Choosing my confessions”

Recommended by a patron at my branch… “Losing My Religion” – Lacuna Coil

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Blog Analytics for 2019

As so many sites/apps do at this time of year, one of my blog plug-ins also provided a “Year in Review” report for my blog traffic. Now, I should back up and repeat my standard line that I tend to think of this blog as my “acreage in the country” – far away from the […]

2019 End of Year Memes: New House, New Address, New Mortgage, Same Feeling of Working for the Bank Instead of the Library!

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Went to a minor league baseball game in Weyburn during the summer and a big production outdoor NHL game in Regina in the fall.  Enjoyed both equally! 2. Did anyone close to you give birth? Probably quite a few on Facebook but none […]

First Lines From My First Blog Post of Every Month of 2019

I’ve written before how this annual post where I share the first line of my first post of every month of the past year is one of my favourites of the year.  Part of the reason is how it seems completely random (I honestly don’t think about what I’m posting for the start of every […]

You Know You’re A Nerd When…

…one of the best things you get as a “Christmas gift” is a literature organizer you pick up off Kijiji from an accounting office on your way home from work Christmas Eve at a fraction of what a new one would’ve cost! Plus you get to be *really* excited about organizing all your various papers […]

An Extra Emotional Day in “Hammond Housing”-Related News

Friday turned into an even more emotional housing-news related day then we expected. In addition to being the possession day of our old house for the new owners, we heard that the condo complex where we lived for a couple years during our time in Calgary was engulfed in flames displacing numerous residents only a […]

Saturday Snap – Elfis?

Last year, we gave in and bought a stupid Dollar Store “Elf on a Shelf” rip-off to move around every night for Sasha. Turned out it was actually kind of fun coming up with scenarios and jokes for the little guy and I might’ve got more enjoyment out of it than she did! This year, […]
