A Skewed View

What's a girl to do? Make herself an awning that will divert the sun from coming to visit, that's what: I can rig it over the railing to create a cooler(er) nook to sit and get some air without the sun. Or, lower it down against the window which, combined with the fan I bought last week for 1/2 off, makes my apartment not that bad in 30 degree weather. Ahhh. Not that bad. I aspire to so little, so I can feel fulfilled.

So you and your child are browsing the local Coles Bookstore. Ooh! A table with $5 books! Let's look there, honey, you say. So you and your child check out The Book of Love, Dream Cars, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaur, Rock N' Roll Pop Quiz Book, Incredibly Easy Weeknight Meals, Easy Stirfries, Fashion Model, Great Canadian Speeches, My Cool World in Photos and ... EVIL WIVES: DEADLY WOMEN WHOSE CRIMES KNEW NO LIMITS! Suddenly, your child gets very quiet. You know you're staring down the business end of a heart to heart instead of storytime tonight.

Same stuff, different day. Nothing to see here. Except maybe: I don't know if there weren't pretty trees like this in Edmonton, or I just never noticed them before. But spring in Toronto has been very eye-catching around here.
