Bits and Bites – Wednesday October 28th, 2009

Good morning everyone, and may I wish a fine, H1N1-free day to you?
Shades of SARS! Is it just me, or are you all noticing an extraordinary amount of people going about their business with little paper masks on? Come on,reality check here. Most of the masks I see people wearing are cheaper than dollar store toilet [...]

Please say it ain’t so!

YEE HAW! Looks like Playgirl is planning a new redneck edition :
“Attorney says Playgirl shoot next up for teenage father of Sarah Palin’s grandson”
Good grief. What next?

Bits and Bites – Wednesday July 15th, 2009

GOOD MORRRNING ,CA-NA-DA!!!!!!! Yeah! Alright now! Is this not a gorgeous morning? Could it get any better?
What? Why am I so happy this morning, you ask?  If you insist…
 I, Laila Yuile, just participated in a sexual act in my garden by the tender glow of dawn.It was unbelievable!  In fact, to be even more specific, I [...]

Adventures off the grid

You gotta know that when you see the rare sight of a large black wolf standing at the side of the road, carrying a steaming, dripping and bloody liver in its jaws at the beginning of your vacation… it may be a sign of things to come. In the end, this time could have been called ” When Good [...]

Repost of last years fan favorite: “Summer grooming etiquette -101 (Dude,@#*! Get some pit-stick on NOW!)”

**** Originally posted May16th 2008( while I was 9 months pregnant),but after yesterdays excursion out, it clearly needs to be said again.
Sun!!! Glorious, glorious sun!
What more could one ask for than to have a long weekend, AND gorgeous weather? Wait….. here’s a thought! How about some anti-perspirant?
A funny thing happened on the way to a meeting yesterday.
I’m sitting [...]

Sir, this is an intervention… ( or, How to prevent a man-gina)

That’s it, I’ve had enough.
If you’ve been with me for a while, you will know that I rarely hesitate to go where angels fear to tread.
 But this? This is truly uncharted territory. This is a whole new ball game kids, but clearly somebody has to do it, so it may as well be me.
Every once in a while – [...]

Snowed in. Sick. With a teething baby, a cabin fever pre-schooler and grumpy teens. SAVE ME…

Merry Christmas.
 Finally.
I hope yours was good, because mine was. Santa brought me some nice items,including a new watch with a heart rate monitor for running, and a safe/ fire proof box for my picture cds and negatives, so all around I definitely feel spoiled! I cooked a boneless turkey that I did myself, followed by a sour [...]

The great adventures of Laila Yuile…Christmas shopping.

** I am completely snowed in today. In some areas there are two foot drifts and its starting to slush and ice up under ther fresh snow. After being stuck for two hours at the entrance to our driveway, the car is back where it started and is going nowhere anytime soon. Three neighbours have attempted the same [...]

Bits and Bites – Wednesday December 17th – 7 days to go!

 Call me Grinch, call me whatever, but let’s get this weather over with, because I’m really not enjoying this nonsense that passes for massive snowfall in the lower mainland. Or the cold. Parts of me ( see recent post regarding the effects of cold weather on women) are so traumatized from the arctic wind that they [...]

Musings of a blogger

Sometimes my blog feels like one of my children. It requires care and attention in order to thrive and occasionally things get out of control and I need to lay down the law. Even so, I love it dearly. Or more accurately perhaps, I love how it has connected me with individuals from around the world.
People like Gary [...]
