Yesterday we celebrated my husband’s grandma’s birthday together. His grandparents are snowbirds who spend half the year RV’ing across the U.S. They recently returned from their yearly trip and picked up some adorable little moccasins for Ayla. What’s funny is that Josh has been asking for a pair of moccasins forever, just like his grandpa’s, but instead our baby got some before him. It shows how we as parents are like chopped liver as soon as a baby comes along. My husband received a cool gift over the holidays from a friend that definitely brought out his inner child. Part geek chic, part educational, and pure awesome, PixelBlocks allow you to bring computer images to life. These versatile blocks provide creators with plenty of freedom to create both flat and 3-D art pieces in pretty much any shape. The plastic blocks come in a rainbow of colours which satisfied my desire to create “pretty” characters. In this bizarre lawsuit, a 47 year old woman from Staten Island has sued her plastic surgeon for a flawed breast augmentation operation which took place in 2003. The plaintiff is asking for $5 million in damages for giving her two breasts too many. The woman says having 4 breasts caused her, “pain, disability, loss of self-esteem, humiliation, embarrassment and a divorce.” In his defense, Dr. Keith Berman’s lawyer said that all people react differently to surgeries. Where many artists aim to make their works bigger and bolder, Willard Wigan prefers to create art that is small and charming. The British micro-sculptor specializes in making art that is often no larger than a pinhead and requires a microscope to view. Each sculpture is painstakingly rendered using surgical and handmade tools. A single misplaced breath or movement could wipe out hours of labour. Last night my husband and I did a much-delayed Christmas gift exchange with some friends. One of the gifts we received was a sick pink ice cube tray shaped like dentures. As the package says, “they’re the ice cubes that grin right back at you (and your esteemed party guests).” Awesome – can’t wait to use them! Forget about Rudolph – there’s a new reindeer in town. This little one may not be able to fly or even walk, but she sure can drink a lot of milk! This is a snapshot of my baby girl at 4 months old celebrating her first Christmas. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Gene Luen Yang weaves together what at first appear to be three separate stories: the Chinese legend of the revered Monkey King; the story of a young Chinese boy named Jin growing up in a predominantly white school; and the account of a character named Chin-Kee, an embodiment of every cringe-worthy Asian stereotype. If you’re having a bad day, these questions might cheer you up. A friend of mine, while trying to organize a company team-building event, found a website listing a bunch of silly questions about making a choice between two options. For example: Would you rather be born with an elephant trunk or a giraffe neck?

While at times it can be downright annoying to be accused of being “PMS-sy” when you are not, it sometimes serves as a great excuse to justify bitchy behaviour, a “get-of-of-jail-free” card, if you will. Now Continue reading A Counter to PMS |
