Mom of 3 grown ups, and one dog. Wife of the best husband. Love music, animals, and the Oilers. Left leaning centrist. Perfection is the enemy of the good.
Update: Let the filling cool, went and saw The Odyssey (10/10 - no notes) and today baked 2 full pies and 6 mini pies. Yum!

I post this in reference to the upcoming Alberta referendum as it completely applies here! There will be long lines. You may decide to leave the line, but the separatists won't. Make sure your vote counts. If you need, register for mail ballot here: specialballot.elections.ab.ca/index/8400 #ableg

Pigeon Lake Music Festival tonight. Econoline Crush and Sass Jordan were the draw for us. Music that brings back memories.
Re-living Oasis live at Wembley tonight outside on the deck. Memories made, and definitely need to plan the next trip. We will be back.
I think we've decided to officially start our search for a new companion for Ivy/ourselves. There is no replacing Koda in our hearts, but she needs a new friend, and I think waiting too long might hurt more than help.
Yikes. And this on top of a big provincial hike in property taxes. Alberta winning again, bigly.

Alright friends, you know the drill at this point. Secure down what you can, if it gets really bad, head to a basement, or seek safe shelter. Be smart, and be safe.
A year ago this week, we celebrated 15 yrs by finally going to Europe and visiting London. We'll be back. What a trip.
This storm has everything! Wind, non-stop lightning, thunder, hard rain, sideways rain, light rain, then hard rain again. She was a good one.

Wind is blowing in such a way tonight that we're hearing the Post Malone/Jellyroll concert clearly from the far north east end of the Henday.
Took in taste of Edmonton earlier this afternoon. Got the lawn mowed, and the whipper snipping done. Now we're inside watching a movie waiting for this crazy storm to blow in.
Commence our week off. I'll be focused on trying to rest, reset, and enjoy some much needed down time, along with having some fun in and around the city. 😊
Just requested my mail in ballot. I will have my say. I will not let them discourage me with insane line ups and logistical challenges day of or during advanced polling. I encourage you to do the same. Turnout will mean everything. specialballot.elections.ab.ca/(S(o3ltlllom...

Oct 19 - referendum day in AB: 45 million paper ballots - no tabulators - because we are governed by conspiracy nuts. Solution? Request a special ballot. Take yourself out of the line. Folks who are less engaged than you are may not withstand the lineups. The fewer of us in them, the better.
Jared Wesley@jaredwesley.ca · 2w agoWith record lines expected on Referendum Day, only the most committed & available will stick around to cast a vote. This is why advance polls and mail-in ballots are so important — even for those of us who prefer same-day voting. To make it easier for everyone. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

Some days work is so busy I barely come up for air. That's exhausting. Then work is done for the day and I check the socials to see what fuckery occured....and it's usually even more exhausting. I need a vacation. I think my brain is starting to give up.
Scoop! After years of the UCP making it out that there was o specific budget for "Your Province, Your Premier", it turns out that Albertans are paying A LOT! Like almost $10,000 a month a LOT! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/thebreak...

Looks like I'm going to have to cover the tomato and cucumber plants again tonight.
Good Morning. Parker is still missing. His parents must be absolutely beside themselves. If you are anywhere in #yyc today, take a look around. If you plan to stay home, maybe take a walk around the neighbourhood or to the store. He is somewhere, and he needs to be found.
