Those of you who know me will find this to be of no great surprise — you may even find it amusing — but, in truth, this is really rather pathetic.
I made “Chore Charts*” for the boys this week with something for almost every day of the week. They are very excited about them and check them every morning. These charts seem to be a source of empowerment for them and for that I am glad.

Today is a red letter day for me, despite the threatening migraine lurking in my right temple.
Today I found a copy of Season 2 of Don McKellar’s animated show Odd Job Jack in a bargain bin for $7. Much like my deep-seated lust for Jim Cuddy, I also cherish a special tendresse for Don. I have loved him since 1993, when I saw Highway 61 for the very first time. Who couldn’t fall in love with a naive Canadian barber unwittingly transporting a cadaver -slash- drug mule on the ultimate road trip to the American deep dark South? And then Twitch City came along and he gained a piece of my heart forever.. Suffice to say when the DVD releases of H61 and TC were announced I pre-ordered them on Amazon months in advance and nervously sat nibbling my fingernails as the release date was pushed off again and again, fearing the worst. *Ahem* I do believe I am getting a tad sidetracked..
Today also marks the date of my very first submission to my very first craft sale. (more…)
