Unlike a typical year, I haven’t been yelling from the rooftops about my upcoming birthday. OK, I’ve done some yelling from some rooftops, but from much fewer rooftops that usual. I guess I’ve been a little less excited because this year I’m turning the big 3-5. How is that even possible? I certainly don’t *feel* […]
OK, so I’m conflicted about doing this, as I *hate* Movember, what with moustaches being the devil and all. But it is for a good cause *and* because I want to support the follicle-y challenged Dr. Dan, I thought I should tell you all about Dr. Dan’s Movember contest. But I’m only doing it to […]
Today’s blog posting shall be brief as it’s past my bedtime and I have to be up early for a 7 a.m. dentist appointment. You know you are jealous. This week has been, and will continue to be, one of social butterfliedness. For some reason, I seem to have friends in town visiting on Monday […]
Not too long ago, Airdrie mentioned that excerpts from Derek‘s blog were going to be published in the November 2011 issue of Reader’s Digest. So I went out and got myself a copy. I think it’s really awesome that Derek’s powerful writing is being recognized and that an even wider audience is being exposed to […]
You may remember my friend Linda from such epicness as Team Cupcake, publishing in Science, and several 12 Bars of Christmas. Well, you can add one more epic event to the list, because yesterday at a theatre in Port Moody, Linda got hitched to Casey. The ceremony was very awesome and very Linda & Casey. And I love when weddings have little touches added […]
It’s hard to believe that the great adventure and shenaniganery could have come and gone so fast, but it has! The adventuring started when I greeted Dr. Dan, who was arriving on a flight from Toronto, in the manner most befitting his arrival: We then proceeded to acquire a coffee for Dr. Dan, who had […]
I’m off to the airport to meet up with Dr. Dan, where I am joining his flight on the last leg of his westward journey, for the The Great Drs. Beth & Dan Victoria Adventure and Shenaniganery of 2011! Well, technically he’s going there to be a fancy pants invited speaker at the 7th Annual […]
My friend Alicia and I went for a walk around the seawall today – something I haven’t done since Dr. Jen moved away ((Dr. Jen and I used to walk the seawall almost every Saturday)) – and afterwards we went to get some sushi with Alicia’s husband and daughter. First of all, a toddler eating […]
My friend Heather – a.k.a., my beautiful and talented hockey linemate – is participating in a fundraiser that you should totally donate to! Good Words for Africa is a event being run to support the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which “supports community-based organizations that are turning the tide of HIV and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.” Heather and […]
It’s Thanksgiving weekend, so I thought I’d give y’all something to be thankful for. Specifically, I’m giving you this link to the latest episode of the S&M Rants on which yours truly makes a guest appearance. You may recall the S&M Rants from such blog postings as My New Favourite Podcast. I haven’t actually listened to […]
