Random musings over the August long weekend at Lac Phillipe

Posted by andrea in: Misc. life

* Almost immediately upon arrival, Emma attempted to wrap her arms around an old tree only to stumble and slide, mid-hug, down the length of the tree trunk. The insides of both arms are scraped. So is her chest.

* Lying on this beach is a lot like being in a beehive. Everything bustles.

* I have ambivalent feelings about men who wear chunky jewelry… mostly I think that they are weird and have unresolved issues.

* The most recent Spins and Needles evening netted:

1 pleasant conversation with Robyn
1 cool button cuff like this one (made by Robyn!)
3 origami rings made by moi

* A recent outing to ValVill with Kristina netted:

1 pair robin’s egg blue terrycloth capris. Mark has made me promise not to wear them outside the house
1 smart back cardigan, formerly from Jacob
1 martini glass (which now makes two)
1 book about flying kittens. I haven�t shown it to Emma yet. She’ll love it.

* Here’s a tip: don’t have a large honeydew bubble tea (with pearls) and follow it up with beer and pizza. You will live to regret the bloatage.

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!
