I have been quite remiss about blogging lately! I remember in October thinking “I should do NaBloMoPo ((i.e., write a blog posting every day in November)) again and then somehow it’s halfway through November and I hadn’t posted ((Until yesterday.)). But once I got on my blog to write a posting for my mom’s birthday, […]
On Friday, my friend Alicia and I went to the theatre. But it wasn’t just your average play. Described as an “immersive theatre experience” going into the mind of Edgar Allan Poe, Deep Into Darkness starts with some instructions from cast members in the area of the theatre where you’d usually gather during intermission: audience […]
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 […]
It rained in Vancouver yesterday, so naturally everyone was all “WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET SUMMER?????” and then I was all “Um, didn’t we have like 2 weeks of straight sunshine? Haven’t we had summer weather pretty much since April??” And then I was like this: So then I decided to go to the […]
… and this is what my left ankle looks like: 🙁 While out for a run yesterday, I stepped on an uneven bit of pavement and went over on my ankle a bit. I felt the tweak at the time it happened, but it didn’t hurt and so I continued on my merry way. And I […]
Yesterday was the 45th running of the Vancouver marathon and I ran in it! Other statements that are true include: My friends and I ran a marathon yesterday I ran across the finish line of the Vancouver marathon yesterday. I did not, however, run the entire 42.2 km. Instead, I took part in the marathon […]
On Friday, I checked out this new Indian restaurant. I was a bit hesitant to go there at first because there was no one in the place – which is generally a bad sign for a restaurant – but it’s pretty new, so we decided to be adventurous and give it a go. And it […]
So now that spring has sprung in Vancouver and all of the various pathogens with which I’ve been infected appear to have left the building, I’ve gotten back into the swing of things running-wise. I’m really, really slow from having taken so much time off from running ((Not to mention the [redacted number] lbs that I gained […]
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 […]
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. […]
