i’m squirrely too! i kept mouse home today cause it snowed and we did lots of arts and crafts, and i even dug into my secret stash of new crafts just to stretch it out a bit. then they managed to twist my rubber arm to start decroating for xmas….so we are all set to go except for our tree, getting that tomorrow. i haven’t showered and it’s nearly dinner time…argh.

We also posted about listening to old records today… and then posted your hot chocolate recipe, which was perfect for the cold and rainy day we’re having. Happy coincidences make me feel so cozy in this big world!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
