A little while ago I got the idea that it would be fun to get some friends together to do a Paint Nite. For the uninitiated, Paint Nite ((As per usual with blog postings where I talk about companies, I have no affiliation with Paint Nite. I paid for the event like everyone else, so […]
Hey, remember that time that I made a bunch of suboptimally carbonated beer? Well, I happened to tell my friend Susan about that. And the thing is, Susan owns a soap making company. And one of the types of soaps that she makes is beer soap. And to make beer soap you need, apparently, uncarbonated […]
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!

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, […]

Happy 10th Anniversary, Sarah& Dave! Your love […]

Which seems much more sophisticated than being from the lyrics of a song about being […]
This post is ridiculously overdue. I wrote most of it on the plane to (or possibly from) San Francisco, and haven’t gotten around to posting it until just now, what with all moving and traveling and unpacking and various other goings on in my life. But better late than never, right? In amongst the moving […]
Last week I was on holidays to spend time with my mom and my aunt, who were visiting for my graduation. We had a lovely time being Vancouver tourists, doing such activities as: shopping on Robson Street various delicious meals with various delicious wines visiting Granville Island walking along the New Westminster Quay about a […]
