Give Away Pseudostoops’ Money!

Sarah has brought to my attention an awesome blogger who is doing an awesome thing. And you know how I feel about awesomeness. The blog in question is called Pseudostoops and the awesome thing being done there is some charitable donations. But not just any kind of charitable donations – instead, this is donations by the blogger […] →Read more

Organization Queen

So, I decided to take holidays for these next two weeks, but not to go to Ontario for Christmas. I mean, I really enjoy seeing my family at Christmas, but trips to Ontario are *exhausting* because I have so many people to see and it ends up being a lot of scheduling, running around to […] →Read more

All Things Coffee

As I’m sure you know, I’m a coffee-holic. So I thought I’d share the follow two coffee tidbits with you. First, ThinkGeek has a grown-your-own-coffee-plant kit! Seriously, it comes with everything you need to grow coffee plants on your window sill. How cool would it be to drink coffee that you grew yourself? Sadly, they […] →Read more

Vehicles and Hockey

My dad emailed me this photo yesterday: It’s the odometer of his truck, which he bought on the same day that I bought my car, and yes, that is showing that he’s driven 100,000 km! In 944 days ((Mathletes will note that works out to 106 km per day!!)). In contrast, here’s my odometer: 53,683 […] →Read more

Not Too Cool For School

So last week I had a bit of a panic about this whole MBA thing. Thoughts like “What am I getting myself into?” were followed up by “I’m getting in waaaay over my head!” and “You know what would be a lot easier than doing this? Not doing this.” And then I realized that I […] →Read more

You Can Take the Academic Out of The Academy….

As I mentioned a little while ago, last week and this week at work are jammed packed.  I have so many meetings that my meetings have meetings! Happily, though, I’m in the home stretch –  only two more workdays in 2011! The lion’s share of the webinars/meetings/workshops are done too – I have one meeting […] →Read more

Traffic Is For Suckers

The one – and I do mean *one* – good thing about living where I do is that I’m close to my office. Like 5 minutes away ((Although sometimes it can take upwards of 20 minutes when there are idiot drivers in the way.)). And it’s awfully nice to finish work at 4 pm and […] →Read more

Dr. Snowflake Cake That The Universe Did Not Want Me To Make

Speaking of baking, I baked a cake for my work Christmas potluck on Friday. I had seen this fancy looking snowflake cake in a little free Kraft recipe magazine I’d picked up at the grocery store. The recipe itself sounded horrible – it’s all use-every-Kraft-ingredient-under-the sun. Like Cool Whip and Jello Pudding mixed together for the icing […] →Read more

Cyber Cookies 2011 – The ReCookie-ing

After a year’s hiatus ((The hiatus was because I was actually in Ontario last Christmas, so I could bake with my family in person.)), the Snow family Cyber Cookies is back! For the uninitiated, Cyber Cookies is where I bake “with” my family with a little assistance from our webcams! That’s right – I bake […] →Read more
