  • Things Fall Apart

    Apparently all the things got together and decided that they should fall apart this year. You’ve already heard about my car’s clutch actuator and my kobo ((Incidentally, I did get a new kobo, but my new kobo needs a name)) and my toilet and my mouth and my cat’s mouth. In addition to those things, the following […]

  • RIP Kobo

    My kobo ((Which I had named Luna, after Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series.)), appears to be no longer capable of holding a charge. I plug it in overnight and it seems like it’s charged, but then a few hours later (during which time it isn’t being used) and I see this: I guess […]

  • My new neck guard

    Two games ago, I got high sticked in the throat. It wasn’t intentional – we were playing hard and it was so fast I’m not even sure how it happened, but seemingly out of nowhere I felt a stick blade on my throat – but it was hard and down I went. All I could […]

  • My New Bar Cart

    Because of the state of the world, I decided I needed a bar cart. Ok, that’s not actually true. I actually decided I needed a bar cart because my friend Amy has an awesome bar cart and I was super jealous and also because I was sick of storing my booze in a broom closet. […]

  • Happy adoptiversary to my kitties!

    Three years ago today I adopted my little fuzzballs, Watson & Crick. When I first got them, they were very much people cats, but they’ve gotten even more cuddly and affectionate. Crick started out as a kitty who would like to be curled up next to me on the couch or in the bed, but now […]

  • Another Running Season = Another New Pair of Running Shoes

    Just like last year around this time, I found that my shins were kind of hurting for the first several kilometres when I went out for a run, which is a sure fire sign that I needed new running shoes! Fortunately, when I popped by the Running Room on the weekend, they were having a sale, […]

  • Gone With The Wind

    Totally thought this posted a few days ago, but just came onto my blog to write a new posting and discovered I hadn’t. Anyway, here it is now! So it turns out that I bought my last phone a really, really long time ago. Like more than 3 years ago, which in phone-years, means my […]

  • My New Messenger Bag

    Generally speaking, I’m a cheap, cheap frugal woman. I prefer buying my clothes at thrift stores over paying retail prices ((Or I buy stuff from Beyond the Rack – if you haven’t joined and want to, let me know because if I send you a referral, I get a cool $10.)) , ((Disclaimer: As per usual, I have no […]

  • Crazy Cat Lady Achievement Unlocked!

    So I won a free photo collage mug. And I’m sure you can figure out what kind of photos I put on it! Sorry the photos of the mug suck – the mug is really shiny, so you can see the reflection of me taking the photo in the mug. I’m a crazy cat lady, […]

  • Pedi

    So today my sister and I went to the spa for pedicures because we are going to my sister’s best friend’s wedding on New Year’s Eve and I needed to have toenails that match my fancy dress. We may also have consumed some wine while we had our fancy pedicures. #RoughLife
