Um, wow

I am a looooong way from home.  Something like 4600 kilometres from where I should be.  On the plus side, my room looks like I finally got into that English boarding school I’ve been been dreaming of since I was about 9 years old.  I’ll post picis tomorrow.  Going to try to sleep now.  Inner [...]

Oh look, my obsessiveness is showing

Come 6:25 a.m. Monday morning I’ll be heading out on Skytrain, whipping towards downtown Vancouver and Waterfront Station where I shall then transfer to the new Canada Line and on out to the airport.  At approximately 8:55 Pacific time I shall be firmly ensconced in a mediumish sized plane, probably sitting beside some incredibly ‘interesting’ [...]

Did you know…

That it’s like 43 days to Christmas?  Oy, right?
Anyway, I did a little tidying up on the old blog, so if y’all could have a peak around and let me know if everything looks okay for you I would greatly appreciate it. 
The main thing I’ve added is a link to Kaleidotrope, a very [...]

Pre-Friday Friday

Finished up my training course today.  I was assured by our instructor that I am now an effective communicator.  Huzzah!
It was too miserable out today for me to get you many interesting photos.  I swear, at one point, the rain drops were the size of kittens.  Okay, small exaggeration there, I’m just so excited to [...]

Monday, done & done

So, today and tomorrow I’m in Vancouver on training instead of at my desk slaving away like the good cog that I am.  Seriously, it’s almost as good as a holiday day.  On my lunch hour I wandered out into the wicked rain and found out that we’re starting to wrap things up for the [...]

Friday Eve! Friday Eve!

Whew, we’ve almost made it to another weekend.  Thank all that’s holy for that.  The full moon is coming up on November 2 and it seems to be affecting people much more than normal.  Work has been, shall we say, interesting.  Not nearly a strong enough word for it but this blog tries to stay [...]

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 [...]

Best tshirt ever? Oh I think so

Honestly, I just snorted orange juice out of my nose when I saw this.

Holiday Monday

Mmmmmm, so nice to not be at work.  We had a lovely non-turkey brunch with hubby’s parents yesterday morning then the full pull super-turkey dinner with my parents last night.  I’m still full from yesterday.  I’m still not sure why I felt that four of us needed a 18 pound bird, which I originally thought [...]

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 [...]
