I’m on a bit of break from school right now. I had an exam last weekend and next weekend I am taking two back-to-back modules, but this week and this weekend, I’ve been able to think very little about school work ((I have some pre-reading for next weekend’s courses which I’ll have a look at […] →Read more
Thanks to a Groupon, I went to my first ever Vancouver Canadians game tonight, thus knocking item #65 off of my 101 things to do in 1001 days list!

Happy 8th Blogiversary, Not To Be Trusted With Knives!
Eight years ago today, I started this blog. If my blog were a person, it would be in grade 3 right now. Someone should probably bake my blog a cake. OK, so I was totally kidding about the cake, but then I just looked on Flickr and people have seriously baked cakes for their blogs. […] →Read more
A mere 636 days ago, I published my second list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. Which means that I only have 1 year left until those 1001 days are up ((Eek! Where the hell did the time go?))! So today seemed like a good day to check in on my progress. Shockingly, […] →Read more

I had some Groupons for the Le Chateau Outlet, which tickles me in the cheapness centre of my brain, because outlets are already super discounted and the Groupons gave me $180 worth of buying power for a mere $90. So […] →Read more
We are now officially halfway through the year ((I’m purposely scheduling this to post at noon, as that will be day 182.5, which is exactly half of 365 days! Because I’m nerdy like that.)), so I figured it was a good time to do a check in on my goals for 2013. Goal #1: Lose the 15 […] →Read more
