Stuff I Learned This Year: Excel Edition

I like to think of myself as rather proficient in using Microsoft Excel. ((One of the things that I do in the statistics course that I teach over at the Justice League is make sure that everyone who takes my class can use Excel properly – it’s probably one of the most useful thing they […] →Read more

Stuff I Learned This Year: Hammer Drill Edition

Remember many moons ago when I bought a shiny new bike? I haven’t enjoyed said shiny new bike as much as I would like of late, and I blame it squarely on the fact that I had to keep my bike in my storage locker, as my building has no bike room and we aren’t […] →Read more

The Return of High Garden

One of my favourite things about summer is growing food on my balcony – I like to refer to my little balcony oasis as High Garden (as my condo is on the 10th floor and I’m a Game of Thrones fan.) And my garden seems to get bigger and better every year. This year we […] →Read more

Slightly past the halfway mark – Goals 2018 check-in

So somehow it is the end of August (!) and I have no idea where the year has gone! And since we are well past the halfway point of 2018 ((In fact, we are 63.3% of the way through the year!)), I figured it was time for a quick check in on my 2018 goals. […] →Read more

Sunshine Coast

So we didn’t actually die in that cabin in the woods, as naming my blog post after a horror movie might have led one to believe. As per usual, life has been busy and here it is 23 days after our trip and I’m finally blogging about it. Usually when I go on a trip, […] →Read more

Cabin in the Woods

So speaking of being on holidays, Scott and I decided to spend a few days of our holidays on the Sunshine Coast. Neither of us have been before and we kept hearing how lovely it is, so decided to check it out. Scott had a CPA exam today, so after he finished that we headed […] →Read more

Five More Books Read

I totally thought I posted this several days ago, but when I just logged into my blog to write another blog posting, I first discovered my blog was completely down (thanks, Kalev, for fixing it for me super fast!) and then discovered that I had not, in fact, hit “publish”. So here it is – […] →Read more

Stuff I Learned This Year: Surfing, Snorkeling, and Sewing Zippers Edition

Since I have quite a backlog of things I want to blog about ((Mostly because my blog is my outsourced memory – if it’s not on the blog, I’ll never remember that it happened!)), I decided to combine a bunch of things into one blog posting. You may recall that one of my 2018 goals […] →Read more

Happy 4th condo-versary to me!

Hey remember that time I bought a condo? Would you believe that was FOUR years ago? Where does the time go? My mortgage broker sent me an (automated, I’m sure) “happy anniversary of having bought your condo” email, which is what reminded me that tomorrow is 4 years since I took possession of my humble […] →Read more

Summertime

Summer is here! After a few rainy days last week, it was all sunshine and 28 degrees on Saturday and Sunday! Things I enjoyed this weekend, in no particular order: sitting on my balcony where my herb garden is growing like gangbusters, drinking coffee and doing some writing walking along the New West Quay, where […] →Read more
