Before and After and Before
Two pieces of information before I get going. First, the contest to win one of two 2011 The Seated View calendars is open until 6 PM EST on Sunday. And second, if you live in the Toronto and vicinity area, there’s a really interesting public forum on Thursday, November 25 called The Most Exciting Time…
It’s Heeeere! Contest
The 2011 The Seated View calendar is here! I always forget how labor-intensive it is in early November when I make the calendar and holiday art cards, but I don’t forget how much fun it also is. Combing through the past year’s photos, trying to find the best ones and then making sure there’s not…
Winner/Weekend with Lucy/Buskerfest
First, the winner of the Annual Shamelessness Contest. Although they claim there were 20 comments, in reality, there was 15 – oh, how I loathe this commenting system. I asked David to pick a number between 1 and 15 and the winner is comment #12. Congratulations, Julia! Check out my Flickr page and contact me…
Annual Shamelessness/Contest
This week has kicked my arse. There was a lot of work, there was forgetting of moving slowly and subsequent consequences, there were various disability related expenses hemorrhaging, much delay of certain administrative things that really shouldn’t be delayed, Buskerfest has started and although I’m sure I could get a good rant going on minimal…
Designing Woman with RA: An Interview with Louisa Summerfield
Last week, I spoke to a very interesting woman: “Louisa Summerfield, 43, has turned what many see as adversity into an advantage. Diagnosed at age 9 with severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, she started using a wheelchair in her early teens. Not finding what she was looking for in comfortable, fashionable clothes, she founded WheelieChix-Chic in…
Christmas Caption Contest
I just realized that there are 23 days left until The Big Day and am experiencing a slight panic attack. Assuming the rest of you are in the same boat – and if you talk about having been ready since August, I will cry – I decided it’s time for a contest. Winner will receive…
Fall Bokeh & Winners
Inspired by Ree’s (Pioneer Woman) latest call for… well, Fall bokeh. Winners were selected by asking David – it seemed appropriate – to choose a number between 1 and 53 and then another one. Random enough, since I asked it late in the evening and he was blessedly oblivious of my evil plan. First number…
You’re All Invited
An Exhibit of PhotographsFrom a Wheelchair Perspective Yorkville Public Library22 Yorkville Avenue (Yonge & Bloor)October 5-31, 2009 This was supposed to happen in December, but on Wednesday night (September 30 and the reason I’m mentioning the date is coming up in a second) they called me and said renovations have been scheduled for December, so…
Once-A-Year Day & A Contest
In the grand tradition of the shameless self-promotion that happens in this space on this day, I’m going to be All About Me and announced that today is my birthday. Well, the beginnings of – today is the actual day, but celebrations will, as usual, be stretched out over a week or so. I’m not…
Happy Birthday Mor!
I could write pages about the awesome woman who is my mother, but this photo sort of says it all. Warm, wise, strong and with a highly developed sense of the ridiculous, she is my rock and my inspiration. I have this notion that it could be fun for her to get as many birthday…
More Than a Little Overwhelmed
> Yesterday, I found out that I had won Best Disability Blog in the Canadian Blog Awards and I am dorky and uncool enough to admit that I am ridiculously excited. Being nominated was a thrill and winning is an even bigger thrill. A couple of weeks ago, I watched Barbara Walters “10 most fascinating…
Assumptions
I’ve been thinking about assumptions. More specifically, the assumptions made by certain bright lights in festivals and other organizations. Assumptions about the audience, the people who will come out to shop, to participate. Assumptions about whether these include people with disabilities, people who use wheelchairs or scooters. And apparently, we aren’t expected to attend Buskerfest….
