Did an 11 km run today. In the snow. Uphill both ways. Ok, maybe that last part isn’t quite true, though given how hard it is to run in the snow, it may as well be. I’m at my sister’s place in Toronto for the holidays, but since I’m still in the running study, I […] →Read more
And speaking of blog postings I wrote a while ago, I apparently forgot to finish this posting, which I started last week! I’m one of those people who have an eclectic set of ornaments for my tree. Rather than having a coordinated set of decorations that would make Martha Stewart proud, I have a tree […] →Read more
Written earlier today, on a plane where they don’t have the Internets. On a plane, heading to see the fam in Toronto for the Christmas holidays. I’m strangely antsy – we’ve only been flying for an hour so far, but I’ve alternated between deciding I should nap, then that I should read and then flipping […] →Read more
So I posted for 29 of 30 days in National Blog Posting Month (missing the full completion only because of a technical glitch)… and then disappeared for a week. Typical. In my defence, I was finishing up all the course work for my MBA. Yup, that’s right. I have now completed all the courses for […] →Read more
I started my Christmas shopping early this year. In August, to be exact. Because while I was in Europe, I realized that I could buy stuff for people for Christmas and it would be extra awesome by virtue of the fact that I got it in Europe. Since then, I’ve been randomly picking things up […] →Read more
It’s been a long and tiring week and since I didn’t get to sleep in at all last weekend (due to a hair appointment on Sat morning and my running group on Sunday morning), I’ve been looking forward to tomorrow’s sleep-in all week. Went out for dinner with some friends from grad school tonight and […] →Read more
The frogs’ stockings were hung by the chimney with care
Last year I made a comment lamenting my lack of little Christmas stockings for my frogs. Well, it was my Aunty Gwen to the rescue – she found me these little gems: So, yes, I realize it’s not yet December, but since I’m going to visit my family at Christmas, I had to put my […] →Read more
On Monday, I decided to treat myself to some fancy nails, as I had my grad photos taken that day ((My convocation isn’t until May, but we had to get our photos done by Dec 1 in order to be in the class composite.)) I figured that since I’d be holding scrolls and flowers and […] →Read more
I didn’t have time to write anything new and exciting here because I spent my evening (a) running around a track over and over again as part of the running study I’m in and (b) writing over on my other blog. As part of my digital marketing class, I have to write at least 5 […] →Read more
Tonight I go to the last class of my MBA program. Despite the fact that I’ve been talking about it non-stop for the last month, it’s still a bit surreal. As I reflect back on the 2 years of classes I’ve been to, I can honestly say that despite all the blood, sweat, tears, and […] →Read more
