So my husband and I have gotten ourselves a full house! In June, we welcomed home our new furry bundles of joy – Cash and Power. I have been obsessed with the idea of getting a puppy for some time now, mostly because I have zero maternal instincts and hope that having a pup may...

Diary of a wimp
I have two sets of friends who always bring me right back to my primary school days. You see, these friends both came from huge families, and what I remember most about them was that if you touched one, you touched all. Back in school, no one wanted to piss them off. You did so...

The Bet
“You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away Know when to run” The Gambler – Kenny Rogers It's about 5:30p.m., one of those rare days that I actually get to leave work while it’s still daylight. I grab my phone to share the good news...

The Fight
It was our biggest fight ever, well not our biggest, but certainly the biggest fight of our marriage. I was livid, and super charged with frustration. And I was saying a lot. I’m sure our neighbours heard us screaming at each other, and if they didn’t, they sure as hell heard the door when I...

Succumbing to Carnival Pressure
So by now you all know that I have been hating on my husband’s carnival obsession. You would think that going to Trinidad Carnival was enough partying for one year, but no, even back home he was like a junkie scavenging for carnival parties to attend.

Love, Karma and Tabanca…
Trinidad carnival is over, hubby is back home and things are back to normal, right? Ha! First off, I reluctantly handed over the keys to hubby’s Audi (read: they were pried from my deathlike grip). Suffice to say, all attempts to convince him that real men wore pink and he would look like a BOSS...

Chronicles of an abandoned wife
Unless you have been living under a rock (or maybe you just don’t read my blog posts), you’ll know that I was abandoned for an entire week. As usual, hubby took off for his unabashed hedonistic week of party, music, fun... and sexy women! It’s carnival... of course, there are sexy women! This year, more than...

The family that runs together…
For most people, running a 5K race actually means running, or at least attempting to run, not walking, not strolling like you’re going for a romantic walk under the stars, not stopping to chit-chat with friends, or worst yet stopping to pose and upload Facebook and Instagram photos. Well, I did start by saying “most...

Stealing a Valentine!
Valentine’s Day is usually the day of love, but I thought I'd blog about something much different today. Well, in a way it is about love... in an odd, obsessive – dare I say – a different kind of way. So, yesterday my colleagues told me of a website dedicated to shaming home wreckers. This...

Carnival fever… here we go again!
“Lecia, you see mi gym gloves?” “Lecia, please rearrange my gym drawers. Put the tops and bottoms separate.” Why does this sound so familiar? Why, yes, it’s Bucka getting gym ready. For most people, January is a time of new beginnings. The New Year brings new epiphanies, like the need to lose weight or the...
