WARNING TO DAN: DO NOT CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING LINK!!!!!!!! And this isn’t one of those instructions, like most instructions in life, where I recommend not following the instructions.

Frogs!

Today we welcomed five newcomers to the Chez S&M Household ((That’s S&M for Snow & Maguire. Get your minds out of the gutter!)) – five as-of-yet-unnamed ((We are waiting until we get to know them a little better before we give them names)) African dwarf frogs! They are very crafty little guys who like to […] →Read more

It’s Surprisingly Difficult to Take Pictures From a Moving Car

Along the Coquihalla highway, there are a series of signs with the names of Shakespearean characters on them. On the way up to Kelowna, I was all “I’m *totally* going to take photos of those on the way back and post them on my blog because they are awesome!” As it turns out, this was much […] →Read more

Adult Pirate Paks and Wineries

Today’s adventure’s included Adult Pirate Paks and wineries. They go together like peas in a pod. First up, Adult Pirate Paks at White Spot for lunch: I was a little weirded out by the chicken-mermaid on my Pirate Pak, but the veggie burger, coleslaw, and french fry deliciousness was more than enough to distract me: […] →Read more

Taming the Monster of the Lake

Spent the day in Kelowna today. It’s not insanely hot ((As Kelowna usually is in the summer.)) and wasn’t super sunny ((Some clouds and a bit of haze that apparently has come from wildfires in *Russia*! wtf?!)), so it was nice to walk along the beach, check out the sites and whatnot. And, of course, […] →Read more

Donate for Rick or Bears Will Eat Your Kidneys!

Hey, remember how I spent weeks tweeting and Facebooking that you should vote for my friend Rick to win a trip to hike in Banff and get a bunch of money from a charity of his choosing? As it turns out, he won that ((Officially, he came in second, but the first place guy turned […] →Read more

I’m on a Boat!

I’m on a super ferry! Super ferries are like regular ferries, only more super. One of the things that makes them so super is that they have wifi! Squee! Of course, now that I’m on the super ferry with its super wifi, I realize that I don’t have a heck of a lot to blog […] →Read more

Flashforward

Hey, remember that time that I said I would blog about some of the stuff I’m reading over my summer holidays and then said that I’d probably not actually get around to doing that? Consider yourself proven wrong, Dr. Beth. Proven wrong long time! Even since the TV series Flashforward was canceled, I’ve wanted to […] →Read more

Serious About Coffee

Whenever I’m on the Island, I always go to Serious Coffee ((Again, no association with this company. I just like them!)). It’s a local chain with some pretty decent coffee – both the drip coffee and the espresso-based drinks. Since I am on a workcation  ((Working on both homework and on my top secret project!)) […] →Read more

Today Mount Baldy, Tomorrow The World

We climbed Mount Baldy  ((Omg, Mount Baldy does not have a Wikipedia page! For shame! Well, several Mount Baldys do, but not this particular Mount Baldy.)) in Shawnigan Lake. It was pretty steep and there was a fair bit of sheer rock that I found myself having to climb up like I was Spider-Man and I […] →Read more
