I think I will try Darcy's current nap pose tonight when I go to sleep. I'm sure my husband won't mind a foot in his face. #kitten #cats #kittens

Don't tell me cats can't smile. Hughie and Darcy (15 weeks old) chilling before they have another round of wrestling and parkour. #cats #cat #kittens #kitten

Investing in less violent sibling wrestling matches or Hughey trying to climb the curtains for fun. #cats #kittens

We have adopted two 3-month old kittens (brave runty girl last Saturday, larger shy brother today) and am now advocating the invention of caternity leave. Meet Darcy and Hughie. #kittens #kitten #cats #cat

Can Canada adopt PBS for a few years, until the US gets its sh*t back together? Seems like a good fit. #pbs

I signed up for four days of catering my daughter's film set, 15-17 cast and crew. That's 56 custom pizza baguettes+salad, and 80 Mexican street style quesadillas (4 flavours). Salad bar and chicken+ rice are next. Set food is notoriously bad so they've been loving it. Props to prep cooks!

Hey #Montreal my student filmmaker daughter is shooting a feature length Spider-Man fan film, and needs a prom scene location. Schools and community centers are not working out. Suggestions appreciated! #montreal #indiefilm #studentfilm #spider-man

The dread one feels when your beloved coffee mug is starting to show signs of aging and you know that day of self-destruction grows nearer with every wash, cupboard clank or set-down wobble. #coffee #disney

My Canadian-Mexican household has discovered the power of miso paste. Whatever you put it on/in doubles down on that flavour. Eggier eggs, fishier fish. #foodie #homecooking #miso

Oh god I have to wash a peanut butter jar. Gross, so scatalogical.

At brunch today, I had the privilege of watching a middle aged man shower untasted eggs and potatoes with 3 days worth of sodium, pour ketchup on the eggs and about 1/8 cup of table syrup on his 3 strips of bacon. Washed it down with 2 cans of 7up. I give him 2 more years on earth tops. #foodie

In the process of triaging the family home now that it is sold. The kitchen and living room looks like a rummage sale, piles for silver, cut glass, whiteware, painted ceramics, earthenware. For someone who rarely entertained mom sure was well stocked. #moving

Finding things in drawers as I pack up my parents' home to turn over to the new owners. 1989 - holding an Oscar and a Palme d'or, and 1986 in front of a high school art display featured in the Kanata Standard. #80s #ottawa #kanata #nationalfilmboardofcanada

We did it! The wall of doom has been cleared. The snowpack changed - the bank shattered in big blocks today, allowing us to haul it away piece by piece. Next challenge: getting the car out to the road with zero visibility over the banks. #montreal #snowstorm #winter

Mapquest offered, I accepted. #gulfofmexico #canada #mexico

You know there's a lot of snow when the city informs you that they can't properly clear the sidewalks because there is no more room to compact it, and there's no garbage pick-up this week either. Can confirm, the banks are too high. #montreal #blizzard

And that is my driveway. I guess we'll get the car out in mid-March. #montreal #blizzard

There is no point shovelling today. The steps were done less than 2 hours ago and they are already filled in. No sidewalks either. Wind putting the snow wherever it pleases. #montreal #blizzard #snowstorm

Tuesday: daughter gets norovirus. Thursday, husband gets norovirus, I deal with 30 cm of snow, which is a big deal on my urban lot. Sunday at 130 am, I get norovirus, and 50 cm of snow with extremely high winds is attacking us. There will be no shoveling today. #norovirus #montreal

I never thought that this benignly bland breakfast would be intimidating, but this is the first time I'm trying wheat in a month. Got to rule out intolerances the hard way. #ibd

1045pm, family in bed except me. Phone: temp drop overnight. Oops, garbage can is still out by the road, city plows going by furiously. Go out. Muck-wall blocking the driveway, imminent glacier. Shovel time. Family stirs, mom is missing, panic! Spoiler: they found me. #winter #snow #montreal

I have this dystopian notion that somehow Canadians are going to be rallied to save PBS and give it a safe home in the not-to-distant future. Radio Free Europe, American-style. #pbs #canada #freespeech #liberal

It's a good thing I'm not the prime minister or a premier because on Tuesday I'd turn off every energy tap to the US and see how that goes. #canada #usa #trump

You've heard of Dance Moms, Stage Door Mom, Soccer/Hockey Moms... This is what happens to your house when you are a Filmmaker Mom. I'm also the coat check girl and caterer. #filmmaking #cinema #movies
