Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

A couple of weeks ago, when McDonald’s was giving out their coffee for free, a colleague and I were acquiring some of said free coffee at a McD’s near our office when I noticed a sign indicating that Shamrock Shakes were back! So I got all excited and squeed about said Shamrock Shakes and my […] →Read more

What Is Cystic Fibrosis?

So remember when I said that I was going to blog at least once per week about my big 10-day long hockey game for Cystic Fibrosis? Consider this my first of such postings. Since one of the goals of the game is to raise awareness about CF, I figured that I should blog about what […] →Read more

Why Did You Let Me Near A Shoe Store?

I couldn’t help myself. It was buy one pair, get the second pair for half price! The photo isn’t very good ((note to self: perhaps you should have bought a new camera rather than new shoes?)), but the pair on the left is actually purple. Purple, seems to be a colour that appears often in […] →Read more

Happy Pi Day

I’ve been something of a delinquent nerd today, in that I was not eating pie at 1:59:26 p.m. in honour of Pi Day/minute/second ((for my less nerdy friends who are wondering what the hell, I’m talking about – check out Pi Day)). To make it up to the universe, I took this picture: It’s Pi […] →Read more

My New Favourite Wine

I’m a self admitted coffee snob and a chocolate snob. Oh yes, and a grammar snob as well ((Yes, I do know that is an incomplete sentence. And, yes, I did do that on purpose)). And with all that snobbery in my life, I don’t feel that I can also afford to be a wine […] →Read more

Longest Game of Hockey for CF

It all started with a missing chin strap. A few weeks ago, I went racing into the pro shop at Burnaby 8 Rinks, in desperate need a chin strap for my helmet – my team was playing short without me and every second that went by meant I was missing ice time! The guys in […] →Read more

Random Photo-y Goodness

As I was looking at my photos yesterday, I realized that I had a bunch of screenshots and photos that I’ve been meaning to blog but never got around to. So today’s blog posting shall be a bunch of photo-y goodness. Some of said images are of hilarious names that people give to their wireless […] →Read more

A Power Outage and the International Day of Awesomeness

So I was sitting here eating my dinner, catching up on the emails I’d missed as I’d been out of the office all afternoon at a meeting, listening to the Canucks pre-game show on the radio and thinking about what I was going to blog tonight – when the power went out. At first, I […] →Read more

It Still Has That New Bag Smell!

The other day in the dressing room as I was struggling with the busted zipper on my hockey bag, my teammate, Karen, looked at me and said solemnly, “Beth, it’s time.” And it true. My hockey bag had seen better days. It was really more duct tape than it was hockey bag at this point. […] →Read more

Is My Face Shape Changing?

Last night I went out for dinner with a couple of girlfriends that I haven’t seen in ages. When I first got to the pub, my friend Svetlana was there and one of the first things she said was, “I think your braces are changing the shape of your face.” And then when Ziba showed […] →Read more
