So far today i’ve …

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

  • gone outside trim a pine tree of a few branches for the mantel
  • got snow in my boot
  • nearly lost my right hand to frostbite
  • tracked hundreds of pine needles and stray leaves and snow into the house
  • stepped in melting snow
  • cleaned up melting snow
  • dusted and cleaned the mirror over the mantel
  • decorated the mantel
  • vacuumed
  • caught Piper chewing a gold spray-painted pine cone
  • cleaned up dog barf
  • received a lovely teapot and tea from a friend who dropped by (thank you J)!

And just think! The day is not over yet! I’m off to do some grocery shopping to buy cookie-making ingredients.

Hey Andrea, I read your blog on google reader, is there a reason why I can’t read the whole content on the reader?

Firemom, Javamom – socks are dry and I’m totally defrosted. :)

Karinny – There is indeed! :)

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!
