Bething Day, as I’m sure you know, is the the Bethmas equivalent of Boxing Day! The traditional way to celebrating Bething Day ((Where “traditional” means, whatever tradition I feel like inventing.)) is do to something that makes Beth happy. Last year, it was buying a pair of sexy boots. This year, it’s a massage and then […] →Read more
So it appears that I did, in fact, turn 35 today. And the world did not, in fact, end. Surprising, I know. And I suppose you are all wondering how I celebrated the big day. Well, first off was Bethmas Eve dinner. Since I live in the boonies and I didn’t want to drive all the way […] →Read more
Unlike a typical year, I haven’t been yelling from the rooftops about my upcoming birthday. OK, I’ve done some yelling from some rooftops, but from much fewer rooftops that usual. I guess I’ve been a little less excited because this year I’m turning the big 3-5. How is that even possible? I certainly don’t *feel* […] →Read more
So, I was in class for 20.5 hours on the weekend ((Hence the blog radio silence for the past few days.)): Friday – 5:30 to 9 p.m. Saturday – 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday – 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It was a lot of hours and it was all math and – I’m […] →Read more
So today is my first day of school. Well, it’s not technically the start of the MBA program per se, but rather it’s the first of three “pre-core” weekend courses ((The three courses are Accounting, Economics, and the vaguely-named “Quantitative Methods.”)) that will get us ready for the actual program, which starts on the last […] →Read more
So I was reading a Stats Can report the other day ((What, you don’t read Stats Canada reports??)) and came across some interesting data on housework ((What, you don’t think data on housework is “interesting”?)), ((Note that “housework” did not include child care, which was discussed in a separate part of the report. Housework included […] →Read more
And speaking of photos that I’ve been meaning to blog about, remember that time I said I was going to spend the first half of my Christmas vacation organizing my apartment? I totally did that. And I took photos! My desk place that I stored “papers that I’m going to file someday” – before photo: […] →Read more
Without even noticing, I tweeted my 10,000th tweet today! Had I realized how close I was to this milestone, I might have made it something more significant than: In my defence, I was having a Twitter conversation with Cath, wherein I suggested that the number of grant applications she’s working on was crazily insane, and […] →Read more
Over the holiday season, I received something awesome ((Special thanks to the Dr. Erika Delivery Service, who brought me said certificate, which I had delivered to her place south of the border because I was too cheap to pay for the “international shipping” costs to have it sent directly to me in Canada.)). An ordination […] →Read more
In the last few weeks, I’ve heard a lot of people lamenting how terrible 2011 has been. Just last night when I was out for dinner, I overheard the people at the next table describing 2011 as a “black cloud” and hoping that 2012 will bring some better luck. And I do know some people […] →Read more
