The disadvantages of living in a tiny place and having to put the litter box in the bathroom.
And this is why I have a broom in my bathroom.
I don’t even like poodles and I certainly don’t like pink, but this is really cute… and way beyond me.

My wonderful cousin posted this on her blog today - a must read regarding bullying.
For three years now, my son has been bullied. I was in denial three years ago; blindly hoping that it would pass last year; and this year, so afraid for my son that I have finally acted. …read more
I really hope, probably as most parents do, that my child will be at least normal, if not extraordinary. If they end up “weird” and an outcast for whatever stupid, little reason kids come up with, then I don’t know what I will be able to do for them other than assure them “it gets better” and be there to talk with them, relating to them through my experiences with bullying.
Both my husband and I are terrible at making friends, though at least he has some charisma he refuses to acknowledge while I do not. And neither of us really know how to talk to people. I have my understanding of how to not be hurtful or rude, which seems to elude him most of the time. He has his ability to talk about various things and make some conversation, something I can’t manage because I find small talk so difficult and boring and my interests are too focused to really be able to do a longer conversation. While we are both leader types, we are not the type of charismatic leader that people willingly and really enjoy following. What I’m trying to say is that we really don’t have social skills to impart to our child and I wouldn’t be surprised if they turned out to have Asperger’s syndrome or that their social skills could be considered Asperger-like.
All that I am confident about in raising a child is that they will never feel like they can’t go to their parents to talk and that the will not be punished for who they are. Hopefully that will be enough for them until things “get better”.
Funny closing thought: what if my child is a bully? I mean, I don’t see how that could happen considering the values both my husband and I would be teaching, but some kids just don’t seem to grasp “good citizen” values or don’t agree with them. What the hell would I do with a bully child? Parenting is scary even without being pregnant or having a child.
If you happen to be in Toronto, Ontario (North York area) and looking for an awesome custom cake, you should check out Bakerbots Baking, a small shop near Ossington Station. The cake artiste, Rosanne, is apparently looking to do more custom cakes (rather than just selling basic cakes, by the slice, etc.). Check out the site for her full cake portfolio, as well as the shop’s menu, and find out how to order.
I don’t always do plugs, but when I do, it’s because the place is awesome.

More uses for pallets. Some of these are really nice, but it looks like a lot of them would also require a circular saw (hand saw would just be too annoying to use on a pallet) which we don’t have.
About the kitty: where can I find a cute kitty like this calico/tabby? T_T My black one needs company.
In a perfect world I’d have more decoration options like food colouring or… fruit. I’d like to have an orange (the fruit) flower in the middle but we have no fruit right now. T_T
At least it came out cake-like in appearance. Wondering how it tastes and looks cut open though. Gotta wait for my husband to get home. »;
EDIT:
Looks just as meh when you cut it open, but it’s reaaaaally tasty. The dark chocolate offsets the sweeeet frosting pretty well, I just wish I could have used more. T_T The cake did end up less fluffy than I had wanted, but the texture is really nice, in my opinion.
I am an artist and art teacher (drawing and painting) with interests across the board. This tumblog is storage for things I find inspiring, interesting or funny.
I don't tend to reblog a lot because I find it a cheap way to make content. I may start at some point to keep all my inspirational stuff on my space, but for now, check out the "My Inspiration" link at the top.
