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 […]
My friend Alicia took me for a float for my birthday. For the uninitiated, a float (a.k.a., floatation therapy or sensory deprivation tank) is where you get into a big tank with water that has about 1000 lbs of Epsom salt in it so that you can lie in and, as the name suggests, float. […]
“Krampus poster” by Source. Licensed under Fair use via Wikipedia. Last night, Kalev and I went to see the documentary about the blicans and her family are Repu experience of German ex-pats living in America – Krampus. Warning: SPOILERS I give this movie a decidedly mixed review. There was some very well done sections of the […]
Apparently I’m really into theatre all of the sudden, as last night I saw Red Rock Diner at the Arts Club Granville Island Stage. Here the trailer: The show was great – great music performed by an incredibly talented cast. I am always in awe of people who can sing (and boy, could these guys […]
And speaking of BBQs, I went to one last night. But not just any BBQ. A Bard-B-Q! One of the things that has been on my 101 things to do in 1001 days list since it’s very first iteration ((i.e., since Jan 12, 2009!)) has been to go to a Bard on the Beach show. […]

Clearly, this is one […]
Given that I do a fair bit of running and hockey, and I also have a desk job, I’m extremely lucky to have a good health benefits package that allows me to get some much needed massage therapy. When I started working in Surrey, I started going to Starr Family Chiropractic, for both chiropractor (Dr. […]
And now I’m just on a roll of talking about businesses that I like, so I think that I’ll make that the theme for today. Which brings me to my hair stylist, Jenny Lynn, the owner of Oh Hey Style ((As with the other postings, this comes straight from my heart – it’s not a […]
Hey, remember that time that I got my nails done all fancy like? That was almost a month ago and my nails are still, to my great surprise, perfect! Of course, near the cuticle you can see that my nails have grown a bit in the past month, but other than that, they are perfectly […]
Apparently this was a weekend for trying out new places to eat, because this afternoon I found myself at Applewood ((I know I sound like a broken record, but I again have no affiliation with this place. Just blogging as a blogger is want to do.)). A coworker of mine had told me about it […]
