No time to actually write anything of substance today ((I was in a day-long meeting and now I’m scarfing down a coffee and a bagel for dinner before class starts)), so I thought I’d share this awesomeness, a screenshot of which I took yesterday: →Read more
I can’t believe my niece turns six today!! Such a big girl! I haven’t seen her since our trip to the Dominican in January, which seems like *ages* ago. Happily, I’ll be spending my Christmas holidays with my family in Ontario this year, so I’ll get to see her really soon! I can’t wait! In […] →Read more

Today, this is how I ordered my coffee: “Tall caramel brulee, with soy, half-sweet, extra-extra hot, with whip.” How annoying! But you see, yesterday, today […] →Read more
So 151 days ago I started the 365 photo challenge – and have taken a photo of myself every single day since then ((well, I haven’t taken today’s yet. But I still have time)). A disproportionate amount of them are in my bed, since many days I only remember to do it at the end […] →Read more
So I got this letter from my credit card company yesterday: Click photo to embiggenate Since I’m so awesome at paying my credit card off every month, they want to up my credit limit.
