Dear Dog Poop Pick-up Bag Manufacturers,
Scented bags? Really?
"Floral" (and I am being extremely generous) poop isn't any improvement. Trust me.
In fact, I'd rather smell just poop. Again, trust me.
HazMat suits & Nose plugs,
Me

Awesome!

Today is officially the most perfect example of Canadian summer weather!
23C, sunny, low humidity and a lovely breeze.

Work'll be fun - I think I'm the only one in my hallway who is not on vacation. Boss bought us a Keurig machine - awesome freshly brewed coffee with no waste (at least in brewed but undrunk coffee) I did have serious pangs of guilt with regards to the little plastic cups. I found little reusable cartridges for the machine - bye bye guilt!

My tomato plants have become victims of their own success - they're collapsing under the weight of their own growth and bounty.

time to go outside and sit in the perfect weather

Fix it...

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.

start. please.

Snow. We haz it.

The snow. It fell. Like it does in winter, in Canada.
As the blizzard hit in the morning and was predicted to worsen all day  => =>   Snow Day!

We broke records for a single day snow fall, and we got the most snow in Ontario (or Southern Ontario - news happened pre-coffee)
We didn't lose power - Yay!
They've plowed our street - *lifting jaw up off the floor*
We've dug out ... and the sun is shining.
