Generally speaking, I’m a cheap, cheap frugal woman. I prefer buying my clothes at thrift stores over paying retail prices ((Or I buy stuff from Beyond the Rack – if you haven’t joined and want to, let me know because if I send you a referral, I get a cool $10.)) , ((Disclaimer: As per usual, I have no […]
Apparently there’s a blizzard going on out east. And these people figured out the best way to take advantage of it!
Spent the day driving to Ottawa with my family, as we are going to a friend’s wedding tomorrow night.

Now, I may be biased given that I was the conference Program Chair, but I think we had an outstanding program of presentations this year! Now, before you think I’m being too arrogant, I will state for the record that the outstanding program was […]
In class today, I was demonstrating a method of data collection formally called “Dotmocracy” (but now being referred to as “Idea Ratings Sheets”). The basic premise is that you are looking to get a group to rate ideas and you have them write their ideas on a sheet and then everyone in the group can rate it […]
Except that I didn’t really go to the race to kickass. Because I was really there for donuts. And cotton candy. And a race medal with an adorable running donut on it. This morning my friend Julie ((You may recall Julie from the zombie obstacle course race and the Longest Game for CF. Clearly, our […]
