Hi All: I'm kinda having a bad day. Just out found this morning that even after chryotherapy (6 months ago) and a loop excision of my cervix (3 weeks ago), there are cancer cells (squamous cells) on my cervix. I'm in shock, scared but trying to be rational. The next step is a cone biopsy of...

Whew...I made it over here fairly unscathed, my mind is reeling at the boards!! No biggie but my 'last visited' status in the upper right hand corner says 12-31-1969, ....ummm...I'm pretty sure I wasn't, I was kind of busy being 7!! ;-) Does anyone else have this date or is it just a random...

now that CK Sales is not an option, where are you buying your fitness DVD's now? I'm feeling the need for some new workouts, I ordered from Amy Bento's site but wondered if you all have some other recommendations, suggestions or experiences to share. Thanks!! Take Care Laurie:)

I just spent the morning running errands downtown. Our city has a vibrant historic, waterfront downtown that attracts tons of tourists. As the tourist season gears up so does the number of panhadlers. Today I couldn't walk a block without someone putting out their hand or hat. I am...

Two months ago my daughter, Elizabeth, went on her very own 'Excellent Adventure' to Cairns, Australia. She braved the long trip alone, has had a fabulous time and is on her way back home tomorrow. She turned 19 while she was away and her sisters and I are beside ourselves with excitement for...

I love to hate malapropisms such as these 2 classics, orientated (it's oriented!!) and irregardless (double negative folks, 'regardless' says it all). I was listening to some talk radio in the car yesterday and buddy was yammering on about some blah-de-blah problem and how something had...

I am, admittedly; a fair weather runner. My last run was in January, now the sidewalks and paths are clear and I'm thinkin' I'm ready. I've been mentally preparing to get back into running the past few weeks, got new shoes on Friday, juiced up the i-pod this a.m. and am lacing up in a few...

Went shopping in Ottawa (bigger city than I live in) with my 13 year old daughter Faith yesterday. OMG, what a great day...got her a gorgeous grad dress for grade 8...classic Chinese dress in coral. I made her suffer through a trip to the fitness depot where I acquired a 9# body bar, 12kilo...

Hi all :) My 18 year old Elizabeth is travelling to Australia next week. She has a 12+ hour flight from Toronto to Narita Japan, a 6 hour lay over followed by a 7+ hour flight from Narita to Cairnes Queensland. She is travelling alone (my Mommy senses are tingling and I'm kinda anxious for...

I have 3 healthy, active teen girls with good appetites and I always cook more than needed as leftovers never last long around here. Well now 2 of them have boyfriends and OMG, I pretty much double what I used to prepare to feed them and there ain't nothin' leftover! It's my pleasure to have...

I try sooo hard to keep the bathroom counter reasonably clutter free but my 3 teenaged Girls are plotting against me. Currently strewn about the counter we have the following: ~ wave cream ~ straight cream ~ stiff mousse ~ sculpting gel ~ detangling shine spray ~ heat protection spray...

The time has come for me to change things up again. Judging by the voraciousness of my late day appetite I suspect I am not getting enough protein so I purchased 'Proteins+ High alpha whey protein isolate' in a natural chocolate flavour yesterday. I mixed it with unsweetened almond milk for a...

I'm looking out the living room window and it's making my arms ache. I shovelled less than an hour ago but you can't tell now, it's a complete whiteout. I actually don't mind shovelling once I get into it (great arm and ab work) but the mental preparation makes me weary. I'm gonna earn my...

I'm having a proud moment and wanted to share. The beautiful (inside and out) woman who has launched this new site (she's on the homepage) used to be our babysitter. She then became a dear friend. She is, at different times, my 4th daughter or the little sister I never had. She lives in...

I'm going downtown with a gaggle of 13 year old girls (my daughter and friends) to see some bands, go on a horse and buggy tour of historic Kingston and enjoy fireworks at 9:00. Then we'll come home, eat some appetizers and watch the ball drop from Times Square. So what are you doing tonight...

They've been bugging me about my present since mid November, saying it was a stroke of genius and will change my life. Well they were right! I am thrilled to the high heavens with what they got me. It's a turntable with a USB port!!! I can import my vinyl and listen to the music of my life...

How did I get through 44 Christmases without knowing about these little treats? Dark Chocolate bean shaped yumminiess with a squirt of brandy to warm my throat. They have been a recurring theme this Christmas, coming to me from all angles. I'm embarrassed to say how many boxes we've had in...

One of my jobs is working as a massage therapist at a lovely spa in Kingston. We shot a cheesalicious commercial a few weeks ago and I thought I'd share it with you all....:) I'm wearing brown and am closest to the camera. Enjoy! :)...

I have had such a year since boarding the dating train last November. In the course of the year there have been 3 men that I have really enjoyed spending time with and felt the 'click' but there has been a common thread that has caused me to end it with each of them. Why are these men so...

Hey Ladies...I love running outdoors, usually around 8K so I'm out for about 50 minutes. Up until this fall I have been a fair weather runner and stayed indoors for the winter. I want to keep running outdoors this coming winter and wondered what works for you with regard to layering, fabrics...
