Here are some pointless and inconsequential things about my life that I assume you are interested in. 

The weather is finally starting to get its shit together and stay warm, as denoted by Molly’s hang-y tongue.  She is a huge wiener in the cold weather, so it’s nice to bring her out to sniff the multitude of pee marks and un-scooped dog poos throughout parkdale.

Speaking of that… I know I bad-mouth Parkdale a lot, but the truth is there is just as many ‘super-beautiful and amazing things’ as there are ‘hobos taking pisses in bus shelters’.  The houses are old and gorgeous, and those people who put effort into maintaining them do a really, really good job.

Some of the gardens are amazing. 

To celebrate the sun, I headed to the Rhino patio for the first of what I can only assume will be hundreds of summer beers/glasses of wine out there.  DID YOU KNOW THEY LET DOGS ON THEIR PATIO???  I know.  My brain exploded with happiness.

A quick point that I am a genius and have managed to convince my potted cacti to spontaneously reproduce.

CHECK THOSE BABIES OUT:

In other news, I have been eating that Moroccan chickpea salad like, non-stop for about 2 weeks. 

I serious – I’m eating it by the cauldron-full.

I’m seriously not kidding – I could probably consume my own weight of this stuff RIGHT NOW.  RIGHT THIS SECOND.  It might be the perfect food.  Fresh but comfy and earthy.  Vegan, healthy… JESUS I WANT SOME RIGHT NOW.

This is probably not a good long-term plan, because I’m seriously considering buying this bikini from Robber and it’s pretty much a couple of napkins tied together with dental floss.  I don’t think it will camouflage the blubbery consequences my chickpea salad obsession.

Speaking of food and other segues, I spoke at a conference recently because of my large, professional balls, and as a gift they gave me a $250 gift certificate to Oliver and Bonacini.  What????  WHAT??   $250?  I know.  That’s enough money to order the sport-killing of an endangered snow leopard for dinner.

I instead chose champagne and oysters.  LARGEST BALLS ON EARTH.

Finally – the last thing that I assume you want to know about my life - I waited until 11:00 pm on the final day to submit my taxes.  I felt like SUCH a horrible, irresponsible person.  But then I saw this:
