I’m home!

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Took the red eye home from Vegas last night, so it’s back to the real world for me. I did love listening to 680 news (3, 4, 5 times a day!) on our drive from the airport downtown and hearing the lead story – a BEAR in a tree. If they didn’t repeat it every […]

A different kind of count down

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

1 = the number of antibiotics I have left to take 2 = the number of days until my Garmin 305 is delivered to the hotel 3 = the number of sleeps until VEGAS! Life is happy.

I’m a dork

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

I get excited when I get blog comments. I get really excited when they’re from friends. I get super excited when they come from people whose blogs I read that I don’t know in real life. That’s all.

STDs are going digital

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Today I got a facebook message from a guy I went on one date with quite some time ago. It was pretty obvious, since I’m super smart, that I shouldn’t click on the link. Anyway, a few minutes later another friend [who shall remain nameless] sent me the same facebook message. I sent her an […]

You get what you pay for – Frustrations with PC Financial

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Almost everything is included: cheques, bill payments, interact at CIBC machines, even checking the PDF of your cheques online. All free. The bad: no branches. All interaction is online or over […]

blogging

Friday, March 6th, 2009

I love reading blogs. I always get excited when a friend makes a new post, and wish most of them would update more often. And here I am – no update for a whole month. In any case, the news is that I’m moving. Time for me to move in with a dishwasher and a […]

presents from my mom

Friday, February 6th, 2009

Yesterday was laundry day so I slept at the ‘rents. My mom always gives me goodies when I sleep over – a sweater she doesn’t want anymore (since she bought a new one just like it without realizing), a scarf that she likes better on me than her, a lulu top she doesn’t really need… […]
