Want to see me finish my half marathon in Victoria on Sunday? Well, you can do so from the comfort of your own home because it’s being live streamed via Ustream! w00t! The race starts at 7:30 a.m. and my last two half marathon times have been in the 2 hr 23 min range, which […]
October 1 to 7 is Breastfeeding Week in the province of British Columbia. Because the Queen said so by the grace of God. For reals, people, for reals. Click the image to see it in all its embiggenified glory. Generally, I think it’s kind of silly that we have a queen at all. But proclamations such as […]
I bought my first ever Groupon ((FYI, that Groupon link contains my personalized code so that if you click on that link and then sign up for Groupon, I get $10. So you should probably click that link ‘cuz I could totally use $10.)) this past week. Every day I check out what the new Groupon […]
