  • Look What Arrived In The Mail Today!

    Copies of my brand new textbook! I have to say, it’s pretty amazing to hold this book – the product of so much work – in my very own hands! For those of you who have been asking where you can buy yourself a copy of this fine book ((I.e., Rick.)), you can get it […]

  • I’m An Author!

    So, remember that time I did a photoshoot because I need a professional photo for a top secret project that I was working on? Well, as it turns out, the reason that I needed that photo was for the author bio page of the textbook I’ve been working on! Essentials of Nutrition: A Functional Approach, […]

  • My Frogs Are In The Family Way!

    My frogs are going to be parents! The day before yesterday I noticed that Torpedo looked like she had some translucent eggs coming out of, for lack of a better word, her bum ((OK, technically the word is her “cloaca”, but I figured you wouldn’t know what that was. Well, except for Erika & Linda, […]

  • NaBloPoMo, Yo.

    Reading Chris’s blog yesterday, I was reminded that November is National Blog Posting Month (a.k.a. NaBloPoMo), the month where bloggers try to post a blog posting every single day. And since I blogged yesterday, and now I’m blogging today, that means I’m 1/15th of the way to completing this! I’ve successfully completed NaBloPoMo every year […]

  • November Three-way Challenge of Awesomeness

    The other day in an email exchange, it became apparent that Rick, Dan, and I were feeling like a trio of sloths. Due to various things and stuff ((Where things and stuff include such things and stuff as work, school, flooded condos, travel, attending weddings, just to name a few.)), the three of us – […]

  • I am the Honey Boo Boo of the CN Tower Edgewalk

    So, for some reason I thought it was a good idea to go to one of the tallest buildings in the world on an extremely windy day and walk around the outside of it with only a couple of ropes keeping me from falling to my death 1,168 ft below. It’s called the CN Tower […]

  • Donate To It!

    My friend Dr. Dan wants to throw himself off the side of a building, but he needs your help. More specifically, Dan is raising funds for Easter Seals, a charity that helps children with disabilities, and if he raises $1,500, he gets to rappel down the side of a large building. Rappelling, for the uninitiated, is […]

  • Watch It!

    The official movie trailer for Lace Bite, the documentary about the Longest Game of Hockey for Cystic Fibrosis: The movie is also now listed on IMDB and is an official selection at the St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival!

  • Hike It!

    As you may recall, my friend Rick won the Big Mountain Challenge where he and Dan got a trip to Banff and Lake Louise to do some amazing hikes, got pampered at swanky Banff and Lake Louise spas, AND raised $26,762 for the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Well, he and Dan completed all the necessary […]

  • Frogs!

    Today we welcomed five newcomers to the Chez S&M Household ((That’s S&M for Snow & Maguire. Get your minds out of the gutter!)) – five as-of-yet-unnamed ((We are waiting until we get to know them a little better before we give them names)) African dwarf frogs! They are very crafty little guys who like to […]
