So, my mom called…

and asked if I’d moved the blog somewhere else and was chatting over there.  No, I promise, I’ve just been beyond lazy about updating lately.  I”m not avoiding you mom.    You’re so funny!
I had a poopy head cold this weekend and I’ve got class in downtown Vancouver tomorrow and Tuesday so this will [...]

Love me some lazy Saturday on the couch

**note**this was supposed to be posted yesterday but Flickr and I are having issues.  Actually, based on the forum posts, a lot of people are having some problems with Flickr.  Grrrrr
Heya!  How’s it going?  It’s so nice to be on a computer for purely non school or work related activities!  Wanna see some stuff?  Excellent.
First [...]

Happy Thursday!

Hubby needed a camera for work, for insurance claims and such.  He decided it would be good if he took my old Canon Powershot and I got a new one.  He also did not have to tell me twice.  On Tuesday a new little Canon Elph came home to live at our house.  It is [...]

I’m hit! I’m hit!

This was in my mail today:

Doesn’t look like a weapon of destruction, does it?  Although, perhaps the duct tape should have been a tip off.  Inside:

Oh yeah, I’m down and out for hat wars kids.  However, I do have a lovely warm burgundy hat for the coming winter that was knit for me by the [...]

Sunday, already?

Can I just say,

This is one of the nicest wines I’ve had in a long time.  I’m currently sipping the Reisling (not listed on the website, must be new.  Ohhhh!  I’m so cutting edge it hurts.)  It’s really quite lovely.  I’ve always hated that oaky flavour in wines so this is just wonderful.  Sorry, I’m probably showing myself [...]

There are rules

Where I work you are required to take a certain amount of training every year.  You have to have a learning plan and commit to continuous learning.  All very noble concepts and I applaud them.
What that means in practice is that you will be attending approximately 5 to 8 days of off site training/education at [...]

The smell of biscuits

Had a rather challenging day at work today and decided at around 10:00 am this morning that when I got home today I’d make some biscuits or some muffins.  Something that I could have for a quick breakfast in the morning as I run to the bus so that I am suitably fortified for the [...]

When the rains come…

the phlox has no chance of remaining the tallest flower in the garden!  Remember when it was sooooo hot here?  Come on, you must remember me whining (as I so often do in the summer) about the heat?  Well, the phlox in the garden was so tall and lovely.  The smell was absolutely intoxicating.  I [...]
