We just had a pretty dope long weekend. Stroke of genius styles - I took Friday off to make it four days off. That's a lot of days in a row where I showered late in the afternoon. Aka heaven.

As a Mom I should probably be all swoony and sh-t about Bon Iver & lavender pedicures. As opposed to wearing pajama pants with cake on them and having this ("Call it whatchoo wanna call it, I'm a f-cking alcoholic.") running through my head all morning.

Please believe me

So, my kid pulls this together the other day.

As all great parents are wont to do, I captured it, then texted it out to friends so we could "celebrate her unique and flavourful style." Aka laugh at the crazy catlady baby.

I want to offer my love & respect till the end

On one of the many re-usable shopping bags we own, there is a quote by G.B Shaw. It reads
“We don’t cease to play because we grow old; we grow old because we cease to play.”

Over the weekend, with the help of anti-sobriety, I decided two things.

a. I was going to follow a hardcore Britney Spears fan on Twitter

and

b. I was going to text my friends in only gangsta bitchez slang.

She works hard for the Internet! So hard for the Internet!

Busy over at R2AK last week. Unloading all my gluten free baggage over at the new site theglutenfreeauthority.

Tweeting up a mother f-cking storm. Singing He's A Rebel at the top of my lungs in the car. Gonna bake these sumbitches and go to bed. How you feeling?

the play is the thing

Saw, loved and reviewed the Vancouver production of A Bomb-itty of Errors last week. Review is here. Busy whipping up some word batter for various projects. I'll be back soon to let you taste the frosting.

Other than a virtual toilet to catch all the sh-t I fling out into the Internet, I often struggle with what this site is. Remember the last time you were on a really successful, populated, ad revenue-heavy site that had absolutely no focus or identity, huge lag between posts and amateur design? No you don’t. Because even though the Internet has very low to no standards, even that entity doesn’t exist.

For all the ways the Internet enriches my life (hello never bored pooping), it also does a helluva job making me feel like a terrible mother and general all-around human being. Because if the Internet (and it's beautifully tweaked Wordpress sites) are to be believed, doing crafty things with and for your child, creating rambling meals chock-a-block full of exotic yet earthy ingredients, while capturing every exquisite expression to ever spread across their little faces is the NORM.

Did you know I was way cooler when I could eat food the USDA condemns?
