Long Weekends Give You 50% More Weekend!

Why can’t every weekend be a long weekend? This weekend was so freaking wonderful. I mean, there weren’t any crazy awesome adventures, or really even any hijinks, and barely any shenanigans. But there was sleeping in – a big plus to any weekend, in my humble opinion ((Something I don’t get nearly as much as […] →Read more

This and That and The Other

Where does the time go? I keep thinking about things I want to blog about, but then suddenly 9 days go by and I haven’t blogged a thing! I can give you all the usual excuses – work is busy, school is busy, being on my own means I now have to do all my […] →Read more

Procrastibaking

I had a weekend of classes this past weekend, with papers due and presentations to be prepped and oodles and oodles of case studies and book chapters to read. So, naturally, Thursday night I found myself baking ((I have a classmate who actually painted her house in the most productive bout of procrastinating – procrastipainting? […] →Read more

I finally have something to blame all my absentmindedness on!

I’ve long been absentminded, but I can now add “Professor” on to that, for, as you will already know if you are linked in to me on Linked In, I have a shiny new title to add to my resume: Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Health Science at Simon Fraser University. Adjunct Professor, unlike […] →Read more

#mayhealth

Where the hell did April go ((Not to mention January through March.))? It seems that tomorrow is the last day of the fourth month of the year. Which means that we are just one day away from the May Health Challenge! As you may recall ((“May” recall! Get it?? I slay me!)), last year some […] →Read more

Why Is There No Collective Term for Nieces and Nephews?

I have one niece and one nephew. Why is there no word in the English language that would allow for me to refer to them together? If you have a brother (or brothers) and a sister (or sisters), you can call them your siblings. If you have a mom and a dad, you can call […] →Read more

A House Without Frogs Is Not A Home

Even since the death of poor Copernicus, things just haven’t been the same at my house. Every time I’d walk into the living room, I’d automatically walk towards the frog tank to check on the frogs… and then I’d remember that there were no more frogs. And then I would have a sad. And no […] →Read more

Half Marathon #8 – I Have My Eye On You!

I put it on my list of goals for 2013 and, after much procrastinating and hemming and hawing, I have finally registered myself for the half marathon at the Edge to Edge in Tofino/Ucluelet in June, along with my friend Alicia! I started a bit late on my training and I have really only been […] →Read more

The Most First World of First World Problems

So I realized that this is the most first world of first world problems, so if you don’t enjoy people whining about how they are being given money, but not in the way that they want to be given money, you should probably stop reading right now. I’ve been meaning to blog it for a […] →Read more

Goodnight, Sweet Frog

All my froggies are dead. Even my beloved Copernicus! =( The babies started dropping off, one by one, just like the last time. First, I found Loki floating one day, but unlike his previous floating that tricked me into thinking that he was dead, he actually was dead. =( Several days later, Balboa was found […] →Read more
