NaBloPoMoComplete

There are two posts during National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) that are no brainers. First, there’s the “hey, I’m going to do NaBloPoMo!” posting. And then there’s this one. The one where I brag that I did, in fact, post every single day in this fine month of November 2011. Not only that, I even […] →Read more

I need an SOP for my LRN

Pretty much everyone I’ve ever worked with uses a bound notebook that they dutifully take to every meeting and that contains notes from every meeting they’ve been to and which through they can easily flip to a needed note exactly when needed in a subsequent meeting. I, however, have never done this, preferring to write […] →Read more

Dr. Dan’s Movember Contest

OK, so I’m conflicted about doing this, as I *hate* Movember, what with moustaches being the devil and all. But it is for a good cause *and* because I want to support the follicle-y challenged Dr. Dan, I thought I should tell you all about Dr. Dan’s Movember contest. But I’m only doing it to […] →Read more

Banana Muffins Are Always Better With Chocolate Chips

I’m going after item #25 on my 101 list: “bake at least one thing per month for 12 months in a row, without baking the same thing two months in a row.” Last month I made the skull cupcakes and since this month is nearly over, I decided to do an easy one: banana chocolate chip […] →Read more

A Good Weekend For Football

I watched the start of one game and the end of the other, but both Cup games played in Vancouver this weekend ended with a victory for the good guys! Truth is, I’m not really much of a football fan and haven’t been since many, many years ago when my Dad and I used to […] →Read more

*Could* have been?

So, I’ve been listening to Rihanna’s song Man Down, which I quite like, but there’s one line that drives me absolutely crazy: ‘Cause I didn’t mean to hurt him Could’ve been somebody’s son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun *Could* have been somebody’s son? *Could* have? Is it possible that […] →Read more

Go Marauders Go!

My alma mater is playing in the Vanier Cup tonight. Which just so happens to be taking place in Vancouver. And while I’m not going to be at the game, I will be in Vancouver. And while I’m not really that interested in football (I mean, seriously, there’s no ice, no skates and no pucks. […] →Read more

Things My Niece Taught Me

It seems like only yesterday that my sister gave birth to a tiny baby girl, but today that baby girl turned seven years old. SEVEN! And in the seven years that Ms. Madeline has been my niece, just like her mother, her grandpa and her grandma, she’s taught me a thing or two. Enjoy The […] →Read more

My iPhone Thinks I’m Naughty

I was trying to log into my email today and this is what the iPhone autocorrect suggested my username should be: →Read more

Social Butterfly

Today’s blog posting shall be brief as it’s past my bedtime and I have to be up early for a 7 a.m. dentist appointment. You know you are jealous. This week has been, and will continue to be, one of social butterfliedness. For some reason, I seem to have friends in town visiting on Monday […] →Read more
