Whenever I visit my family, I get introduced to awesome new movies and videos ((See: Cats & Boots, Dumb Ways to Die, and Turbo, as just a few examples.)). Yesterday, my niece introduced me to this excellent parody of Adele’s Hello, which we have been walking around the house singing all day: Given that I’m currently […]
My baking plans for tomorrow include: shortbread cookies, the cookies that I’m legally obligated to make every Christmas amaretti, which I’ve never made before but expect to be delicious! I will report back once all the baking is complete!
Here we go with using the Dec 2014 blogging prompts. What recipe are you known for amongst your friends and family? I make the best shortbread in the world. I learned my Great Granny Snow’s secret recipe from my Aunt Wendy. Why Great Granny chose Aunt Wendy from among all her granddaughters to teach, and […]
So, it’s December tomorrow. How, exactly, did that happen? Wasn’t it January just like 5 minutes ago? Looking at my calendar for the next month, I see that December will also be flying by, because I have an insane amount of things in my calendar, including: Work Christmas party #1 – dinner and Escape Room […]
Happy birthday to my niece! I’m glad you enjoyed your crazy sleepover party on Saturday and that you had delicious cake and got some cool presents today. Love you!

Translation of the title (assuming that Google Translate translated it correctly): My 13th half marathon: not the result I was hoping for, but I figure if I write this title in French it will sound more impressive. I was hoping to have called this blog posting “Lucky #13” and to be writing about how I’d finally run the […]
Apparently the Earth has gone around the sun a significant number of times since my sister was born. How many times that was, I will not say! But if it makes you feel any better, Nancy, you were born two months early, so if we are talking gestational age, you aren’t [redacted] years old until […]
So remember that time I told you about how all the houseguests were on their way to my place? Not only did that trip whizz by in the blink of an eye, but it’s been a week since they left and I’m only just now blogging about it! In no particular order, our adventures included ((“Making a delicious […]
I believe that I may have mentioned ((If I’ve seen you in real life in the last little while, I’m sure I’ve mentioned this to you eleventy billion times!)) that my mom and my sister are coming to visit me this week. My sister is presenting at a conference here in Vancouver and my mom, […]
