Hello Ohio!

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Well, if I had to lose a post I guess I should be grateful that my mom sent me an article about what I had written – namely that Bruce kept calling us Ohio on Friday night which was pretty funny. He seemed really embarrassed, but N figures he must make that mistake at least […]

Another day, another opportunity

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Today I am going to U of T campus to talk to the group of young women who are participating in the Gr8 Designs for Gr8 Girls workshop. Super exciting to tell them all about being a software developer (*not* programmer) and to help break down the gender stereotypes that exist around my profession. Should […]

Sick

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Today’s blog posting will be short and to the point: I have a headcold. Good thing I have lots of tea to make me better. (And pills. And nose spray.) See you tomorrow!

Tea Time

Monday, November 9th, 2009

I have a sweet tooth that I try not to indulge. So one of my favourite things to finish a meal with is a cup of (sweet! herbal! dessert!) tea. My dessert tea of choice had been celestial Seasoning’s English Toffee tea. I was running low, but none of the grocery stores I frequent seemed […]

Ouch.

Friday, November 6th, 2009

It’s funny how despite working out very regularly, a new exercise can make me hurt oh so very much. Today my abs hurt so much that walking hurts. So does breathing. And when I sneezed, tears came to my eyes. GHD situps, I hate you. But I will continue to do them until I don’t […]

It’s contagious

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Today my GPS is a Space Case* To get to Crossfit I like to use my Garmin. It’s in a new location, and it’s super early in the morning, so it’s going to take a few times of me being taken there by the GPS before I’m ready to drive there on auto pilot. This […]

Space Case

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Today I am a space case. I brought 2 small lululemon bags to work: one contains a gift card for a friend, the other my lunch. I just went to get food from the fridge. Guess which bag was waiting for me? At least the gift card is nice and cool. I blame it on […]

Why the Library is not Netflix

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

I don’t have cable. I justify it because I live alone and cable would be expensive. Especially since I’m never home when things I want to watch are on TV so would need to get a DVR. I also can watch lots of things online so am not completely deprived. About a month ago I […]

NaBloPoMo

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

I was perusing some blogs and came across this: NaBloPoMo sounds like a child’s insult or a bad Japanese “short form” (where Sexual Harassment=SecoHaRa). But in actuality it’s a challenge to post once a day for all of November. I think that’s doable. So let’s see what happens!

It’s the little things

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Had a great start to my day this morning. Finally managed to get my alarm set properly which meant I headed over to Crossfit for a 7AM class. It’s a good thing I’ve been doing the workouts on my own this week – all of those Double Unders (skipping, but getting the rope under twice […]
