I can’t believe my trip to Montreal is over already! On Saturday, we started the day with breakfast at Cora’s and then did some more shopping. Did I mention how freaking fashionable everyone in Montreal? We looked at lots of stuff, but didn’t buy a tonne – I only bought a few accessories ((Two pairs […]
Today is my 65th mom’s birthday and, in the nearly 35 years that she’s been my mom, I’ve learned a thing or two from her. Save Your Money! My mom was a banker for her entire career. And thus, my sister and I had bank accounts from an early age and we saved our money […]
Since we happened to be in Our Nation’s Capital ((Nancy insisted that we all refer to Ottawa as “Our Nation’s Capital” for the entire time we were there. And it had to be pronounced in a big, important sounding way, such that I feel she was pronouncing it capitalized.)) this morning, which just so happened […]
After two long days of workshopping, my brain is now in vacation mode and thus, incapable of any real coherent thoughts. Thus, I give you a list of random thoughts. I’m back at my hotel room, waiting for for my mom, sister, and nephew to arrive. My sister texted me with an update when they […]

It’s weird to be going to Ottawa and not seeing @smacdo03 […]
Today just flew by at work, as days are wont to do when one has a gazillion things they are trying to get done before they go away for the better part of a week ((Notice how days never fly by like that when you have, say, an exciting weekend planned and it’s Friday?)). My […]
I can’t believe that my trip to Ottawa & Montreal is almost here! I’m going to Ottawa for a two-day workshop on Wednesday & Thursday, but due to the length of the flight, the three hour time zone difference, and the fact that my workshop starts at 8 am sharp, Tuesday is my day to […]
This is my 2,011th blog posting. And I’m posting it in the year 2011! That is all. Image Credit: Posted by Jackson Carson on Flickr.
Yesterday was day #2 of the conference that I mentioned in my blog posting on Thursday and at said conference I won one of the book draw prizes. Oddly, given that there were hundreds of people at this conference, three of six people at my table won book draw prizes over the course of the two […]
