Help!

Wed, 12 Jan 2011 09:42:24 -0500

This post will surely sound ridiculous, as I have no clue what I am doing.

I am in the process of setting up another website/blog. I have bought and registered my domain name.

I have a few (embarrassing) questions:

1) Is there anyway to continue using the tumblr platform to build and maintain this other website/domain?

2) If not, once I have the domain name (and i do) what do I do to set up and start posting on the site?! (I realise the level of stupidity in this question)

3) HELP! If anybody can point me in the direction of someone to talk to who can a) design my website b) host it (what does hosting even mean?!) and c) enable me to post quickly and easily.

So yes. This is my dilemma and I would be HUGELY thankful for any help you can provide. I also live in Toronto, Canada. Not sure if that makes a difference, but yeah. hahahaha. I am very embarrassed by this post.

Help?! Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?

I can’t help it. Every time I hear Julian Assange’s name (which is pretty much every other minute) I think of the SNL skits by Bill Hader. So funny.

…

In other news, the husb and I are heading to NYC on Friday morning. Among other things, we plan on lining up bright and early Saturday morning to try and get tickets to see SNL.

reblogging because I am going to steal this idea. I’m a big fan of art that I can recreate on my own. And trust me when I say that it’s a very miniscule percentage that I can actually do myself. But this? This I can do. And I love it.

Well this is darn cute! I might just steal this idea.

love.

I have mentioned before that I drop our dog at my parent’s house on my way to work so that he can have company throughout the day. We call it doggy day care. My mom is probably Luke’s #1 fan- he goes EVERYWHERE with her. Today they went to the doctor so my mom could get her flu shot, Luke waited in the car.

My mom returned to the car to find a very sleepy dog and sent this message with the video attached: “Gramma I am sleepy! Could we go home soon?”

…

ohhh my word. I have the best dog in the world. Please note him sitting like a person with his legs pointing forward….and the big head.

I can buy jumbo sized bags of dubble bubble gum and fill all glass containers in my house with said gum (but- i should tell you- i haven’t bought any of the actual candy to give out on halloween) and not feel like a total gum hoarder/8 year old. Even though *I* know they’re for me… at least others will believe they are for the kidlets on halloween.

This purse made my heart stop this dreary Monday morning. Any help identifying where I can get this/who makes it would make me infinitely happy.

Pumpkin Vases

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 11:38:32 -0400

** disclaimer: I should start off by saying that I got this idea from pinkseersucker … it is so cute, I saw it and immediatley wanted to do it myself.

…

On Sunday, I didn’t leave the house once. It was one of those wet and dreary days where all you wanted to do was light a fire and max out on the couch. And that is exactly what we did.

…

But on Saturday, I was rearing to get the house decorated for halloween/the fall season but was wanting to do something different- a little more unexpected. Seeing the pumpkin vases over on pinkseersucker’s blog, i knew instantly that THAT was what I wanted to do.

…

I made one for my desk:

(!! so cute !!)

And I made three for my dining room table centerpiece:

Final thoughts: I love this idea and know that it will be doing every fall from here on out!!

Booked!

Feels like Fall Dinner

Sun, 24 Oct 2010 19:42:49 -0400

I had been feeling like pork chops all day. Specifically pork chops with teriyaki sauce and pineapple. After a Sunday of doing n-o-t-h-i-n-g, I figured the least I could do was make a nice dinner.

…

I knew I wanted pineapple and teriyaki sauce so searched online for a recipe. I didn’t find a recipe that fit exactly what I wanted….so I improvised.

…

To start I dredged the pork chops in a flour and salt mixture and browned the outsides of the chop in a skillet. Once browned, I lined the pyrex with the chops and added pineapple slices, apple slices and brown sugar- and then filled the bottom of the pyrex dish with a mix of water and teriyaki sauce. Cook at 350 for one hour.

…

To go with the chops, I made basic white basmati rice and a salad.

…

This dinner was hearty, filling (but not overwhelming) and totally hit the spot on a damp and chilly autumn evening.

On the agenda for today?

Fri, 17 Sep 2010 12:17:44 -0400

1) Kick asses and take names. That’s right- multiple asses and multiple names.

…

Summoning all of my “DONT MESS WITH ME” attitude for today.

This guy. Some days, it is very difficult leaving the house for work and having to say goodbye to this guy. Today was one of those days.

Hotel Recommendations, please

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:54:13 -0400

J and I are wanting to go to Jamaica for a week this coming November. The only problem is, we don’t know where to stay. We’re looking for some great recommendations, if anybody has any (whether they’re hotels or things to do)- please let me know!

Good Morning!!

From the family cottage on the Bruce Peninsula! We’ve been up here since Friday, just the three of us. Husband, dog and me. It’s been exactly what we’d hoped it to be. Relaxing and restful.

As I sit here enjoying my first cup of coffee waiting for the husband to wake up, I can’t help but WISH this week would never end. So far, the week has been filled with:

-walks

-food

-fires

-curly hair (as evidenced by the pic)

-kayaking

-food

-bike rides

-9 by design

-food

-weeds

-mad men

-swimming

-bulldog loving
