Congratulations Jon Montgomery

I turned the TV on earlier this evening just in time to see Jon Montgomery‘s gold medal winning skeleton run.  And then, as he walked through Whistler amidst a huge crowd of fans on his way to be interviewed on CTV, someone handed him a pitcher of beer, which he proceeded to chug!  The pitcher […] →Read more

Random Stuff

Apparently technology hates me again.  In addition to having no internets and no cell phone reception at home, the internets/network /all the phones at my office were down for most of the day ((It’s back up now, so I’m writing this after hours at the office before I go home and enter the land of […] →Read more

Mug From The Past

I was in a thrift store today and saw this mug: There were four of these mugs in fact.  They caught my eye because I had *just* been thinking how I used to have this awesome sugar bowl that looked exactly like that – it was from a set that my parents had when I […] →Read more

People are smiling and laughing and *talking to strangers*!  Vancouver is not generally a city where people talk to strangers.  Vancouver is a fairly social place, but people tend to socialize with those people they know and not so much with the talking to […] →Read more

People Will Take ANYTHING That’s Free on Craig’s List

Remember a while ago when I posted my furniture to the Decor Hell contest because it’s so damn ugly?  Guess what went like hotcakes when I posted as “free for the taking” on Craig’s List yesterday morning? As I prepare for The Great Move of 2010, I’ve made the decision to have a grown up […] →Read more
