A tired middle aged white woman in a rainbow toque gives the side eye to the skip facing away from her, calling line on a curling shot. He’s wearing a gray toque and an amazing retro curling sweater with the logo in script reading St Stephen, the name of the town.

Won our league game tonight. Snuck some sneaky pics in 🥌 #curling

Have to add this to the 50 greatest curling shots ever show

*bagpipe music intensifies, Colleen Jones looks on with pride*

When your kid gets a scholarship for an amazing summer program, a potentially life changing experience at a private school…but it means sending him to the US for a month. And he’s trans.

If it’s my lefty I turn, you mean wide and a little heavy?

I’m not thrilled to have two back to back weekend work trips to round out January, but at least one of them takes me through Mississauga on Scotties Finals weekend! #curling

Last night I returned to curling after chest infection nonsense and managed to completely mess up my delivery, missing almost every shot. @scibri.com made a beautiful double though

Two dogs sit staring at you, ears perked up, wearing Toronto Blue Jay logo bandanas with their names on them

Thanks in part to a stellar Cameo video from Ernie Clement, @scibri.com did in fact cave and we rescued a new doggo! Of course his name is Ernie. #BlueJays #victorybarks #erndog

See you at the finals! I couldn’t swing enough vacation time to volunteer again but work happens to take me that way on finals weekend so…yay!

One black and white dog lies across the back of the love seat white a younger white and black dog curls up on the seat

That’s one way to ensure there is r going room for all of us on the love seat.

The only way to deter them is to do the laundry and well thats just not an option

A sickly middle aged white woman lies in left side of a double bed on her right side, with a black and white dog curled up behind her and his his propped on her side, looking at the camera

Battling a chest infection thats been dragging me down for weeks. The new doggo kept me company yesterday.

As someone who works every day toward the goal of unlimited ducks I endorse this message

Two banana duck ornaments haze at at empty banana peel before them

I work for Ducks Unlimited Canada, where every day involves glorious duck puns and we feverishly work for unlimited ducks.

But also this crime scene

My lungs did not get the memo about starting the new year fresh and clean.

A ceramic planter in progress sits on a banding wheel. Its smooth sides flare very slightly from the bottom before narrowing in to a double coiled rim at a height of approximately 24 cm.

First ceramic project of the year is a planter for my lemon tree. I will regret narrowing in the rim later but that’s what it wanted to do. Now contemplating adding some pizazz to the sides. #pottery #ceramics #slabbuilt

Curling needs this Olympics to get new people playing it. Not everywhere. But most places have members who are older, and somewhat white. We could use showing the fun, health, and joy of this game to more people.

Let's get 'em hooked. All hands on deck.

We've got this.

This made my year!

Exactly!

And it was. Yet, there is still no second dog.

Ok folks, I’m trying to convince @scibri.com to get another dog. This includes getting Ernie Clement to make the ask!! But he’s still holding out. Help me convince him! #bluejays

Not to mention she got you that kick ass Canadian Olympic Curling hoodie too

Tactically brilliant I’d say.

Best wife ever you mean

Endless holiday cheese consumption is somewhat hampered by my need to remove braces and clean teeth repeatedly. Mayhaps it will stop me from overeating.
Unlikely.

Mummering time

I *may* also have purchased 20kg if the granite clay to make at least 8 sheets worth of tiny curling stones.

Stones, rocks, potato, potato :)

Hello!!!!

A ceramic tree with a large star atop it is held in the sunshine to show the multicolour glaze effects

Three trinket dishes in the shape of curling rocks, with handles in yellow, blue and red

Two sugar dishes with a flanged lid cut out to hold a spoon. The glaze is a blue splatterware

A tea mug with straight sides and a simple handle with light blue glaze

More pottery out of the kiln and some of my faves yet. I knew when I started this hobby I would get obsessed.
