I've got a date tonight.....

...with Dwight. Yes. Mr. Yoakam. And me. Orillia. Free ticket. Sigh. Bliss.



I know he's not everyone's cup of tea. But I adore him. Everything about him.

When I mentioned on Facebook I was going to see him, it elicitted a number of rude remarks that I won't repeat. But a co-worker put it perfectly.

"Thats awesome...hes kinda sleazy hot...in a trailer trash kinda way..."

Amen sister.

This is why.....

....I do not buy expensive curtains.

A note to my neighbours.....

Dear Neighbour,

Please do not be alarmed if you see my cat.

Please note, he:

-is not rabid
-has not been exposed to radiation
-is not sick
-is relatively healthy for all intents and purposes

He merely got badly tangled in some burs and after hours of pulling and brushing, I dealt with the situation the only way I knew how.
















Sincerely, Jamie

P.S. Also, if you happen to see my significant other, please refrain from mentioning that I used his electric razor to shave the cat. Thank you very much.

This one's for you Lisa.....

Aside from the downtown Owen Sound Tim Horton's location.....have you ever seen so much denim in one place?

Last Friday....

.....we prepared to leave for a long weekend away at the cottage. Myself, the boy, the short one, and the two small dogs. We planned to leave around 1. But we knew better than to put too much pressure on ourselves, as we have never once hit the road on time.

This time.....a miracle occurred. We pulled out of our driveway early.



Only by a minute, yes. But normally, when we plan to take off for the 7 hour drive at 1, we are lucky to be out of the house by 2.

Don't get too excited though.



The above photo was taken after we gpot about 3 blocks away and then realized we didn't have any pillows or blankets, so we turned back.



When this photo was taken we were exactly 7 minutes down the highway (after having stopped for french fries at a chip stand, then at a garage sale and then at another convenience store to buy a magazine).

I love road trips.

"Hey, nice BIBS lady!"

I'm not typically a seafood fan. The most exotic seafood I eat is fish & chips.

Last night however, we attended Lobster & Laughs. It was a Lobster & Steak dinner literally right on the beach. And it was amazing. The food, the atmosphere, the sun setting over the water. Good people. Lots of fun.



My phobia of different foods touching each other was on full display.



I pulled off the claws and gave the rest (the face?) to the boy. I was a little uncomfortable with my food watching me while I ate it.

Anyways, I'm so glad the boy dragged my sleep-deprived, cranky self off the couch and convinced me to go. I alreday can't wait for next year.

I bet you thought....

....I was lying when I said I fall. A lot. My friends, I wish I were.

I'm the only person I know who can fall down a flight of stairs from a sitting position. I took out the home owner's potted plant on the way. Fortunately, I sustained only minor injuries.



Unfortunately, I was completely sober at the time.
