  • CyberCookies 2011

    I’m freaking exhausted from a day of Christmas baking, so today’s posting on my Christmas-baking-while-chatting-online-with-my-family-who-was-also-baking is going to be mostly photos and short on words. I’m too tired for typing words. Meringue Snowflake Chocolate Mice For the record, here’s what everyone baked: Beth shortbread cookies meringue snowflakes chocolate mice (white and dark chocolate) Mom cranberry […]

  • Cyber Cookies 2011 – The ReCookie-ing

    After a year’s hiatus ((The hiatus was because I was actually in Ontario last Christmas, so I could bake with my family in person.)), the Snow family Cyber Cookies is back! For the uninitiated, Cyber Cookies is where I bake “with” my family with a little assistance from our webcams! That’s right – I bake […]

  • O Christmas Tree

    It’s December now, which means (a) WTF? How the hell did it get to be December already??, and (b) it’s totally legitimate that I put up my Christmas tree last night. Totally. Legit. I took pictures even though it looks *exactly* like it did last year. Except that I now have a TV beside it […]

  • A Good Weekend For Football

    I watched the start of one game and the end of the other, but both Cup games played in Vancouver this weekend ended with a victory for the good guys! Truth is, I’m not really much of a football fan and haven’t been since many, many years ago when my Dad and I used to […]

  • Go Marauders Go!

    My alma mater is playing in the Vanier Cup tonight. Which just so happens to be taking place in Vancouver. And while I’m not going to be at the game, I will be in Vancouver. And while I’m not really that interested in football (I mean, seriously, there’s no ice, no skates and no pucks. […]

  • Things My Niece Taught Me

    It seems like only yesterday that my sister gave birth to a tiny baby girl, but today that baby girl turned seven years old. SEVEN! And in the seven years that Ms. Madeline has been my niece, just like her mother, her grandpa and her grandma, she’s taught me a thing or two. Enjoy The […]

  • Happy 5th PhDiversary To Me!

    So I was looking at my transcript the other day, as I was working on an application for something ((More about that in a later blog posting.)) and noticed that it said that my PhDizzle was granted on November 16, 2006. The astute among you will note that that would be exactly five years ago […]

  • On Being Vulnerable and Connecting

    Recently, a coworker of mine shared the following video with me and I think everyone should watch it: The speaker, Dr. Brené Brown, gave a keynote at the management conference at my work today. It reminded me of some conversations I’ve had with a few friends recently. As you may notice from my blog, I talk […]

  • Skull Cupcakes

    My office’s annual Halloween potluck was yesterday and, as has become my custom, I decided to make a dessert. Specifically, I decided to make skull cupcakes. And while they weren’t as impressive as the eyeballs I made last year, they turned out better than the short fat ghosts I made the year before that. The […]
