So, I knit but I have trouble with crochet. I tried giving crochet a try for my boyfriend's mom's Christmas give. I was doing alright and... the crochet hook broke -_-' I guess that's what I get for using wooden ones? I ordered some metallic ones from Amazon but it's frustrating when you're in the ...

Elomin said we could, and my son wanted to join. Son Of MinniChi: Confirmed I like Lego everything. Science experiments, Minecraft, Skyrim, Pokemon, Colouring. He is a straight forward 7 year-old boy. If it has anything to do with video games or Lego, he loves it. He loves science (Bill Nye, Magic S...

My resolution is to finish a massive quilt top I've been wanting to do for 2 years now. I have 1/3 finished.

Yes! I probably forgot a few others, and for that I am sorry.

Remembrance day is a very important day to me. To remember the sacrifices of everyone who ever fought in any of the wars. World War 1 World War 2 Korea Vietnam Iraq Everyone, living and passed. Lest we forget your sacrifice. Every year this ditty from my school years creeps into my head, and I will ...

Send a random present to someone from another country and get one from yet another country. Elomin! Can I submit my kids in this? They would love to send a present or two to people in other ...

I like Magic, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Nintendo, and Disney. I am currently a teacher, but will soon be returning to the world of being a student.

A physics/math teacher*

When I picked my older son up at school today I was told he had one of his grade A meltdowns (think toddler tantrum to the power of 3 in a 7 year old). He's in grade 2. I don't get many details as this meltdown occurred with his drama teacher, not his homeroom teacher. We sit down to dinner with a f...

MinniChi: CONFIRMED

I like yarn work, sewing, reading sci-fi/fantasy, and teaching my amazing boys various life skills.



Whomever I am to send gifts to, you will receive something homemade. Could be an animal plush, could be a blanket, or an amazing viking beard.

My most favorite husband has fixed up a computer for me to use since my other one killed the motherboard. Luckily we had 3 spare towers. But I can't do anything outside of browsing the internet since it only has 2GB of RAM. How many secret husbands do you have? UNCLEAN! I have no secret husbands, a...

My most favorite husband has fixed up a computer for me to use since my other one killed the motherboard. Luckily we had 3 spare towers.
But I can't do anything outside of browsing the internet since it only has 2GB of RAM.

My husband thinks my motherboard failed. I'm hoping we can cobble a computer together for me to use, but my tower is not as old as the extra towers we have, so he's thinking there may be a compatibility issue. On top of this my wallet is missing so I can't log in to my cra account to check on my ei ...

My computer appears to have died. My hubby will take a look when he gets home, but I have no idea what is wrong with it. It makes a growly/grumbly noise when I hit the power button and won't turn on. I am very upset by this turn of events. Especially since my husband is terrible at sharing his compu...

The part cause of the pain is how far I have to lean over for work at the till (how tall I am). Those mats would make it more comfortable to stand, but would they just make me even taller? I know when I was pregnant I had really bad back pain from standing too long. The mats helped with my knee pai...

My job is on the tills at a supermarket. It gives me back pain. It has done for 5 months since I started, and now it's really unpleasant whilst working. I told my line manager and he told me to tell personal. I told personal and they asked me what they wanted to do about it. I don't know. Asking fo...

So... The R Word. There's an episode of "Rick and Morty" where they indulge in a diatribe about it. And I hated it. It's out of place, and it feels entirely like someone hurt Justin Roiland's feelings once by asking him if he really wanted to use that word the way he does. So we get an Au...

I made Pumpkin cookies! Vegan ones and not so vegan ones (made the not so vegan ones such by adding butterscotch chips). It was an experiment in food and was given the 5 star by my youngest son. Pictures once they're all baked and the older one gets to try them. Gotta make sure he approves as well. ...

Last Friday I was suddenly offered a chance to audition at Mount Allison University for the Music Program there, to be performed on Tuesday. With such short notice I wasn't confident in my chances since I was preparing for the normal rounds of auditions coming March 2017. My audition was successful...

Drew this based on the mental image someone I know said that they had of me. Feeling ill today, so having a funny little thing to draw was nice.

I love this piece. It's amazing and adorable.

Silly win: Grapes are on sale for under 1$ per pound in my local grocery store. This hasn't happened in about 2 years. I'm going to be the best mother ever when my older son gets home from school. Also I am the baby's favorite right now.

I made a Lotad. I think he looks pretty cute.

My older son misplaced the laundry card on Friday. Instead of helping me look for it or clean the house at all, my husband waits until today while he's at work to tell me to look for it. He could've gotten off his computer to look for it yesterday. Or even helped me wash some dishes. Very grumpy at ...

Not if I put you in there first.

*Ahem* I think you forgot I reside here. Nothing's safe.

But you're safer than that other guy from 5 years ago

I'm sure you'd just set me on fire.

Facebook reminded me today that I was almost raped 5 years ago, and the police did nothing about it. Wow. Way to go Facebook.
