We are more than 5/12 of the way through 2017 and first of all, how is that even possible? It feels like it was just New Year’s! But secondly, it seems like a good time to check in on my goals to see if I’m even remotely on track before the year completely gets away […]
Last year when I made my herb garden, I learned that one could grow potatoes on their balcony. I didn’t get to try it out last year due to travel and balcony power washing that happened, but decided I would do it this summer. Fast forward to the May long weekend – Scott and I […]
Knowing about my goal to learn one new thing every month this year, Cath suggested we try out a sewing class at Spool of Thread in Vancouver ((As usual, I have no relationship with this company other than that I am a customer.)). I’d never sewn anything using a sewing machine before, and Cath hadn’t sewn […]
As usual, I have so many things I’d like to blog about and so little time, mostly because all of the aforementioned things taking up all of my time ((In fact, as I’ve sat down to take these notes from my phone, where I’ve been writing this blog posting in bits and pieces on my […]
As you know, one of my goals for 2017 was to learn 12 new things – an average of one per month. First, I learned some basic toilet repair. Then I learned how to fold a fitted sheet. In that second posting, I alluded to the fact that I’m learning something else that required a bigger blog posting – […]
One of my goals for 2017 was to learn 12 new things – an average of one per month. In January I learned some basic toilet repair. In February I learned nothing. Ok, I probably did learn some stuff, but just stuff that I would have learned anyway even without this goal (I learn new stuff at work […]
One of my goals for 2017 was to learn 12 new things – an average of one per month. I didn’t decide on what those things needed to be – I figured I’d be inspired throughout the year with things to learn. And my first source of inspiration was the discovery of some water on […]
I’ve been hemming and hawing about what to do about my goals for 2017. I typically do a lot of the same things – earn a certain number of race medals, knock a certain number of items off my 101 list, and perennial favourite goal that I never manage to achieve (run a sub 2-hr […]
Abysmally. I blame the illnesses and injuries that plagued me this year for hampering me on many of my goals, since I set a lot of physically activity related ones. I also didn’t achieve my goal of paying off 16% of my original mortgage principal, but that one was actually a deliberate choice as I’ve […]
I set a goal to knock 16 items off my 101 things to do in 1001 days list during 2016 and while I failed spectacularly at doing that, most of the 5 things that I did were pretty awesome. In level of increasing awesomeness, they were: 21. Get rid of the fake trees my condo’s […]
