You walk into a room and instantly smell it. Fresh bread! Sitting on the counter of your friend's kitchen, right in front of you, are three freshly baked loaves of French Bread. You secretly wish you had the time to make bread like that... But wait! You do! Just follow this simple recipe and you… Continue reading Freshly Baked
The bigger the lie, the easier it is to believe. At least, that's what they say... I realized a while ago that nothing could be farther from the truth. Back in 2015, I had managed to get a part in a stage production of The Odd Couple. The play centered around two incredibly mismatched best friends… Continue reading The Truth About the Lie
"What should I do?" Now there's a question! And a loaded one at that. There's no simple answer either. Far from it, in fact. But it's a question that gets you thinking. Truth be told, I had several topics I wanted to write about today, but I was having a hard time deciding (what a… Continue reading The Mirror
I didn't sleep well last night. I don't know why. Was it the food? Was it the wine? Maybe. It's more likely that my brain had a hundred things inside of it all going off at once. Do you know what that's like? Of course you do. Everybody has those moments at some point. Anxiety… Continue reading Monster
This morning, my alarm went off, and I opened my tired, puffy eyes and was welcomed to nothing but darkness. *sigh* I've had enough of Daylight Savings Time (DST). It's a useless relic of the past - a pointless exercise that serves little purpose in today's society. It's nothing more than a trick. We are… Continue reading Death to Thee, Oh DST!
I'm weird. I'll admit it. I've got a touch of crazy in me. I'm strange. I do and say odd things. I make bizarre facial expressions that confuse people. I'll crack terrible jokes that'll make you roll your eyes (or good ones if you're a person with taste). I'll give an opinion, sometimes believing the… Continue reading To Be
There was a time that I had believed Winter to be a loving and caring sister to Autumn; maybe lovingly wrap her sister in a thick blanket and tuck her in for a long nap. I'd always imagined that she would gently sing lullabies to her sister until she fell asleep. Then, as Autumn took… Continue reading The True Face of Winter
Every now and then, we're lucky enough to have moments that help to remind us that the actions of a few people can make a big difference. My birthday was on Friday. And I'll be honest, I wasn't feeling it. For whatever reason, I just couldn't bring myself to be excited or really care about… Continue reading Thank You
We are all time travellers. There. I said it. Am I crazy? Maybe. But hear me out before you judge me. And before your imagination goes out of control, no, I don't mean like Back to the Future where you hop into a hyper-marketed, underperforming, stainless steel toaster on wheels, plug in your preferred date,… Continue reading Just a Matter of Time
Holy merciful crap, is it ever friggin cold! I'm not going to lie. I've lived in Fort McMurray now for nearly 10 years, and I'm still shocked and amazed when the temperatures suddenly drop like a stone because winter has decided to throw a tantrum. Today is one of those days. I will give yesterday,… Continue reading The Weather Outside Is Frightful…and That’s It
