  • Brain Cells

    I already have a stuffed cold virus, a stuffed flu virus and a stuffed Ebola virus. But when I was in the airport waiting for my flight from San Francisco on Sunday, I discovered that they now make stuffed brain cells! So cute.

  • I need a power suit

    OK, maybe I don’t *really* need a power suit, but I feel in the mood for some new work clothes. I’ve worn all of my work clothes soooo many times and I’m kind of bored of them. Also, I’ve noticed that despite that fact that I own no fewer than 3 pairs of brown shoes1, […]

  • I can has beautiful flowers?

    Aren’t these beautiful flowers? Aren’t I a lucky girl to have such beautiful flowers? Also, does anyone happen to know what these beautiful flowers are called? Or how best to keep them alive? I am notoriously bad at trying to keep plants alive, so any advice you have would be very much appreciated!

  • Do You Go By Your Real First Name?

    While working on my Prime Ministerial Series, I’ve noticed that several of our Prime Ministers go by something other than their real first name: Wilfrid Laurier’s name was Henri-Charles-Wilfred Lester B. Pearson went by the nickname “Mike” Pierre Trudeau’s name was really Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Joe Clark’s first name is Charles Brian Mulroney’s […]

  • (no title)

    I now forgive Stephen Colbert for what he did to the Hockey Night in Canada theme song.  Because this video was made as part of his “Project Make McCain Exciting“: [youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=8G9jA-FGGd8]

  • A Weekend In Pictures

    It’s late Monday night and I’m only just now getting around to blogging my weekend… where does the time go? As you know, Friday morning I did the Grind and you don’t know, Friday night I stayed home and did a whole lot of nothing. Honestly, I can’t remember what I did on Friday night. […]

  • Booked it!

    It’s official! I will be have laser beams in my eyes on August 15th. I was given a set of instructions. You have to arrive an hour before the surgery for them to get you all ready. Wear a button down shirt so you don’t have to pull the shirt off over your head that […]
