The theme for this year’s Blog Action Day is Climate Change. Blog Action Day is an annual event every October 15th that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day with the aim of sparking discussion around an issue of global importance. In trying to think of what to […]
The other night I went to a friend’s place for dinner. She’s a coworker from my old job and spending the evening at her place cementing one thing for me: I miss my old coworkers! Don’t get me wrong – my new coworkers are great, but I built some really great friendships at my old […]
My sister, her bf and my niece ((or “Team Nancy” as Tod called them)) were in town this weekend, just to visit little ole me! And we had a freakin’ blast! They arrived on Saturday morning and I was there at the airport to greet them and to give Madeline a ride in my Smart […]
Two years ago, I registered for the Royal Victoria half marathon, but training – not so much and so I ended up with an injured foot. This year, I’ve been training for the Royal Victoria half marathon, but registering – not so much. And now, despite it being almost a month away, they are *sold […]
For me, September is going to be a month o’ babies. First up, I’m babysitting my friends Clayton & Jodelene’s baby next Saturday while they go to a Sarah McLaughlin concert. Mason is six months old and so so so so cute! I’m really looking forward to hanging out with Mason for the afternoon. The […]

As you may know, 7/11 gives away free Slurpees on July 11 (i.e., 7/11) every year. Which just happens to be my half birthday. Last year, Kalev and I decided to walk around downtown Vancouver, going to as many 7/11s as we could to acquire free frozen sugary goodness. This year, we decided that walking […]
I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t blog about the passing of Michael Jackson whose memorial service yesterday is, according to Wikipedia, “being estimated as the largest gathering for a deceased person in world history”. Whatever you may think of him as a person, you have to admit that he was an extraordinarily […]
When we were growing up, my sister and I thought we were total opposites. I was the “smart” one. My sister was the “creative” one. Which meant I grew up thinking that perhaps I wasn’t creative and she grew up thinking that perhaps she wasn’t smart. Both of which could not be further from the […]
