Hey, remember that time when I was born? That was a pretty fortunate thing to have happened as all the other things I’ve done since then would have been rather difficult had it not. Serious props to my mom and dad for having me on a cold and snowy day in 1977. And since that […]
Merry Christmas from all of us at Chez Beth – feline, amphibian, and homo sapiens!
I’ve never done a Throw Back Thursday (#TBT) posting before, but today seemed like the perfect opportunity to do one because 10 years ago today two of my favourite people in the world got married and I had the distinct pleasure of being part of their wedding party! Happy 10th Anniversary, Sarah& Dave! Your love […]
On Sunday, I did something I’ve been wanting to do for years ((And which I inexplicably didn’t include on my “101 things to do in 1001 days list”.)) – I learned how to curl! It was all part of a FUNdraiser for my friend, Patrick Johnstone, who is running for New West City Council in […]
Friday night was the Night Race – a 10 km run in the dark around Stanley Park where all the runners wear head lamps. Or should I say a nearly *11 km* race that they tricked us into believing was a 10 km race! When I run races, I usually don’t pay too much attention […]
And speaking of BBQs, I went to one last night. But not just any BBQ. A Bard-B-Q! One of the things that has been on my 101 things to do in 1001 days list since it’s very first iteration ((i.e., since Jan 12, 2009!)) has been to go to a Bard on the Beach show. […]
Last Wednesday, I attended my fourth – and final – university convocation as a graduate ((If I get any more university degrees, they will have to be of the Honorary Doctorate variety, as I have no plans to actually do work for another degree. Though apparently you have to do something honourable in order to […]
The first of several mini-vacations I’m having over the next ~month started at 5 pm on Friday. So, naturally, a wicked sore throat started at about 4:15 pm on Friday. Because why get sick during work time, when you can be sick on the weekend and vacation ((Incidentally, I think this may be why I […]
I was stunned as I crossed the finish line of the Hollywood half marathon yesterday – I finished in just under 2 hours and 10 minutes! As you may recall, my hope going into the race was to beat 2:17 my time from the Fall Classic – and so I was thinking that I’d be […]
It was a hard fought game, with neither team yielding a thing for nearly two full periods of hockey. Then the Ringers broke open the scoring with just 8 seconds left in the second. We answered back with two quick ones in the beginning of the third, and then we traded goals – they scored, […]
