  • Mug From The Past

    I was in a thrift store today and saw this mug: There were four of these mugs in fact.  They caught my eye because I had *just* been thinking how I used to have this awesome sugar bowl that looked exactly like that – it was from a set that my parents had when I […]

  • Moving Up In The World

    Very happy to have just bought a step stool for my new kitchen. So I can actually reach the top shelves! My apologies for the terrible pun!

  • My Olympic ‘Do

    While seeing so many people all clad in red walking to watch the Olympic torchbearer run by yesterday, I had an epiphany.  I decided that I needed to do this: Happy Olympics!

  • Packing Update

    I spent most of today and a good chunk of yesterday packing.  I now have the kitchen ((except the food)), the bathroom and the bedroom completely packed ((I’m staying at Tod’s this week so that I could just pack up everything at my place and not worry about needing to leave some stuff unpacked to […]

  • Good Idea or Crazy?

  • O Christmas Tree – Now With Photos!

    By special request, here are some photos of my Christmas tree! I like that fact that it is skinny – most Christmas trees are much wider, but a skinny tree is a definite plus in a Vancouver-sized apartment!  Notice that the star on the top touches the ceiling (and to even get the star onto […]

  • Secret Santa With A Twist

    My office is doing Secret Santa, but it’s not just the typical buy a present for a randomly chosen coworker type of Secret Santa.  We have to buy three presents (~$5 each) for a randomly chosen coworker and somehow find a way to sneak those presents into the coworkers office without being seen on three […]
