Today’s blogging prompt is: “Your best friend just broke up with her partner. What movie do you bring over to get her through that first night?” But I’ve decided to adapt this one a bit, because if my best friend just broke up with her partner, I don’t think I’d bring a movie over. I’d […] →Read more
What recipe are you known for amongst your friends and family?
Here we go with using the Dec 2014 blogging prompts. What recipe are you known for amongst your friends and family? I make the best shortbread in the world. I learned my Great Granny Snow’s secret recipe from my Aunt Wendy. Why Great Granny chose Aunt Wendy from among all her granddaughters to teach, and […] →Read more
I started writing this a few days ago, but didn’t finish it. Which is pretty hilarious since it’s a blog posting called “Completeism”. In my defence, I’m trying to get my students’ papers marked – my last teaching task I need to do to wrap up the semester – and once I do that, I’ll […] →Read more

What traditions do you look forward to at the end of the year? Hands down my favourite end-of-year tradition is […] →Read more
I’m stealing this directly off the website of Working Silver, a silversmith who offer silversmithing supplies, classes, and silver jewelry for sale. They are having a Christmas shopping night that is paired with beer drinking, which is also a fundraiser for the Arts Council of New Westminster, a nonprofit organization of which I’m on the board of […] →Read more
So, it’s December tomorrow. How, exactly, did that happen? Wasn’t it January just like 5 minutes ago? Looking at my calendar for the next month, I see that December will also be flying by, because I have an insane amount of things in my calendar, including: Work Christmas party #1 – dinner and Escape Room […] →Read more
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I’ve ramped up my blog writing as of late, but I haven’t quite been hitting my target of 7.25 blog postings per week in order to make my goal of 115 blog postings for this year. By my latest calculation, once I include today’s posting and one for tomorrow, I […] →Read more
While I was searching Flickr for an image to go with yesterday’s blog posting, I saw a whole bunch of cool photos ((which I guess shouldn’t be surprising, since I was searching for “Dream”)), so I decided to use today’s blog posting to share some of them!
