Wine

I seem to have been drinking a lot of wine since I arrived here in the Big Smoke ((I have no idea why I find that nickname so funny, but I do.)). I suppose to be more clear, I should really say that I’ve had a lot of different wines, rather than a large volume […] →Read more

Drake 150

Went to Drake 150 for dinner tonight, with my friends Jen and Tanya, who I went to high school with a million years ago. Was so nice to catch up with them – it’s been awhile since I’ve been to Toronto, but they are the kind of friends that no matter how long it’s been […] →Read more

On the TTC

Writing this out on my iPhone on the subway, on my way to meet my friends Jen and Tanya for dinner. But I’m writing it as a note instead of as blog posting on the WordPress app because there’s no cell phone reception in the subway here in Toronto. I have been spoiled by Skytrain […] →Read more

Trip To The Aquarium

Toronto just got a new aquarium and my Aunt Lynn took us all there for my niece’s birthday ((Earlier in the day, my mom asked my 2.5 year old nephew what kind of fish he thought we would see at the aquarium. His answer: sushi.)). I have to say – it was pretty cool. We […] →Read more

We Can Rebuild It

I like when websites have fun “we are down” pages. I mean, if I’m going to be inconvenienced with the site being down, the least they can do is make me smile. Just saw this one when I went to enter today’s treadmill run into Runkeeper: →Read more

Reading Fiend

Now that I have copious amounts of time on my hands, I’m doing what I did the last time I suddenly had copious amounts of time on my hands – reading all the books ever! Since finishing school, I’ve read one complete book (The Bridge to Teribithia – which I read for the book club […] →Read more

My Computer Has A First Name…

…It’s D-A-E-N-E-R-Y-S. As in Daenerys Targaryen from the Game of Thrones. So remember that time I bought a new Macbook Pro and didn’t know what to name her? After some thought, I’ve decided that naming her after Daenerys is appropriate because my Macbook, being the 13 inch size, is little, but she’s powerful, just like the Mother […] →Read more

Cheapskates Unite!

So my brother-in-common-law is setting up a pretty cool little site that I thought would be worth sharing with y’all- it’s what he describes as “extreme couponing for the Internet”. Basically, he finds combinations of deals using different promo sites that you can add up to get really big savings. Right now, he has three […] →Read more

O Christmas Tree!

Apparently I am all about Christmas trees right now, because not only did I decorate my tree at home and buy an awesome set of new ornaments, but tonight I got to help decorate the tree at my sister’s place! Like mine, my sister’s family’s tree is full of ornaments collected over the years – […] →Read more

65 Blog Postings

So speaking of goals, when I was looking at my list of 2013 goals for that last blog posting, it reminded me that I’m a wee bit behind on my goal of publishing 213 blog postings in 2013. And by “wee bit”, I mean 65 blog postings. And there are only 16 days left in […] →Read more
