I’m too tired to blog anything of substance today (and I have Bootcamp tonight, so I don’t anticipate getting any less tired!), so here’s a picture of the adorable sticker that I put on my iPhone case: I know this is the kind of hard hitting news that you’ve come to expect here.

Student Loans – Update and a Plan
As you may have seen my complain about from time to time here on NTBTWK, I wracked up a crazy amount of student debt while going through school. $71,504 to be exact. Now, when you consider that I was in post-secondary education for 11 years, it’s not actually that much – a mere $6,500 per […] →Read more
Countdown to Vacation!
I am a mere five workdays away from my first true vacation in a year and a half! I say “true” vacation because, though I have had time off from work, my last two trips have been to Ontario ((December 2010 and June 2011)) and trips to Ontario are not restful for me. I mean, […] →Read more
Car Detailing
Also, I recently detailed my car. OK, someone taught me how to detail my car. OK, actually, someone who loves cars detailed my car for me and I sort of watched. And here’s the thing about car “detailing” – it’s just another word for cleaning. I’m assuming that they had to invent a different word […] →Read more

My New Favourite Podcast
I’ve recently become addicted to a new podcast called The S&M Rants. Get your mind out of the gutter! S&M stands for Shane & Monica, the hosts of this show where they, well, rant. They rant about weird things they find on the Internet. They rant about news stories that are just so insane they […] →Read more

Yet Another Thing I Hate About Surrey
It’s no secret that I am not a fan of Surrey. I hate suburbs and Surrey exemplifies pretty much everything I hate about suburbs ((In my defence, I only reside in Surrey because I have the BEST. JOB. EVER. here. My plan is to stay here, with my affordable rent, until such time as my […] →Read more
