life, the universe, and donna

So… my mom has cancer. I mentioned this. And it’s effing scary, but you know, we find ways to cope. Often with black humor. It’s hard to make jokes about cancer because people look at you like you’ve suggested the Jews had it coming. How can you say that about your MOTHER? Well, in my [...]

Ok, boys and girls, in the unofficial, not-even-a-damned-javascript poll, poll of the century: Sideboob or Underboob?

Please see this post for why I’m walking 60km to raise money for Breast Cancer, or click here to donate today!

To provide my family with a bit of privacy, I haven’t spoken about this publically before. But, with my mother’s permission, and to give a bit of background as to why I’m doing this… well, it’s time to speak out. In May 2010, my mother was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, a rare and [...]

…and I’d like to review it. So far? I love Steve. Steve is the best phone I’ve ever owned. Admittedly, this is also my first smart phone, so most of you are probably all “whatevs, that’s old hat.” Not to me, it isn’t! I’m trying to go easy on apps. I don’t want to hunt [...]

At the end of another long weekend, I can only look back at it and say… That was FUCKING EPIC. So this weekend was the Tournament of Armies, a new event run locally (in Chilliwack) that ended up taking the place of our usual trip to Clinton this year. And holy crap, don’t get me [...]

Today was another day packed full of adventure, albeit with less unexpected dunkings (but quite a few expected ones.) We got up bright & early (you know, [...]

A few weeks ago, Nick & I were chatting with our friends, kdot & cas, and thought… hey, we should all go to Whistler together. So, I managed to score my Dad’s condo for the weekend, and a weekend was planned! Sadly, the day before we were supposed to leave… cas had a pretty nasty [...]

Parents of children in show biz, I have to ask: Why? How can you look at people like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, the Olsen Twins and so on… and think it’s a good idea? A few weeks ago, Nick & I were trying to think of any current adult actor/actress who has successfully transitioned from [...]

Yeah, I’m that kind of cool. So last night, I brought home our new minivan, a 2001 Ford Windstar, in bright-effing-red of course. Aww yeah. Her name is Rebecca (but only if I never use the name around Nick). She doesn’t look like this. Much. Anyway, so we do this SCA thing, and in the [...]
