So apparently I’ve decided to do all the things, which means that I have eleventy billion things to blog about and no time in which to write said blog posting ((As a microcosm of my doing all the things, while writing this blog posting, I’m also doing laundry, doing dishes, baking cherry squares for the […]
Spent the weekend on the Island, as my friend Rachel invited me to give a guest lecture on stats in her research methods class ((I gave this same type of lecture 4 years ago, but haven’t been back to do it since then as I got busy with that whole MBA thing, so I couldn’t […]
“Ski at Whistler” was on my very first list of 101 things to do in 1001 days, which I wrote in the old timey days of 2009. Somehow, I went through those 1001 days without managing to ski at Whistler. Then I totally thought I put “Ski at Whistler” on my second list of 101 […]
In fact, I haven’t been in Kansas in more 3 weeks ((I just realized that the last time I blogged was three whole weeks ago and I talking about going on my trip and so you all probably thought I died in a fiery plane crash! Well, I’m happy to report that I did not […]
Wrote this on a plane on Thursday night. Plane arrived at 1 am. Then I spent the next two days having fun with my family and completely forgot to post this. So now I’m posting it from the Toronto airport as I await my next flight. Better late than never, right? So here I find […]
Sitting on the floor in SFO airport so that I can charge my iPad while I type this, since the seats in the waiting area that have plugs in them are all taken ((I’m sitting next to a random pole that has an electrical outlet. Traveling is so glamourous.)). My flight out of SFO to […]
It’s been a whirlwind last few days. On Monday, my big real estate deal (i.e. the condo that I bought) completed. On Tuesday I took possession of my fabulous new home and on Wednesday I moved (including getting my Internets hooked up and having the carpets in my old apartment steam cleaned so I could […]
At the airport, waiting for my flight to Toronto. As someone who is small enough to comfortably sleep on a plane, I’m a fan of the red eye. A ~5 hour flight + 3 hour time difference means a daytime flight results in losing a day. A red eye flight means a short night’s sleep […]
Last week I was on holidays to spend time with my mom and my aunt, who were visiting for my graduation. We had a lovely time being Vancouver tourists, doing such activities as: shopping on Robson Street various delicious meals with various delicious wines visiting Granville Island walking along the New Westminster Quay about a […]
The first of several mini-vacations I’m having over the next ~month started at 5 pm on Friday. So, naturally, a wicked sore throat started at about 4:15 pm on Friday. Because why get sick during work time, when you can be sick on the weekend and vacation ((Incidentally, I think this may be why I […]
