What to do when…

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

This weekend N and I headed to my cousins’ ski chalet up north to play in the snow. We were given the garage code and told to let ourselves in that way when we arrived. Unfortunately, we discovered the door into the house from the garage was locked (turned out a maintenance guy had locked […]

Pepper

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

I love Pepper. I put it on almost everything, and always on my eggs. So it’s no surprise that I had the urge to Pepper up this fluffy frittata from Sarabeth’s in NYC.

Only thing is I didn’t know that the lid of the pepper shaker was not screwed on correctly. Result: a mound of pepper […]

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 […]

NYC Half Marathon 2009 - Race report!

Monday, August 17th, 2009

No internet (okay, there’s internet, it’s just not free) and some free time before my flight boards means that Jenn is going to try her hand at another race report. After all, I’m sitting here in my medal so it seems like a good time to reflect and pretend that folks aren’t staring strangely at […]

friends are cool, but amigos are cooler

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

I have a lot of friends. According to facebook, the number stands at 1158 (which means very little.. but that’s a story for another time).
Many of my friends do super cool things. What kind of cool things? Well, how about quitting a good full-time job to move to latin-America and become fluent in Spanish?
Yeah, […]

T-minus 22 Days!

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

When I signed up for the NYC half a long time ago, I was only excited about it. I figured that it would be no problem to keep up the running after the Ottawa half since, you know, it’s summer. And that I’d be all geared up and ready to go by the time the […]

Traveling in Chile

Friday, July 17th, 2009

I know I said I’d do a series of posts about traveling in Chile, but it’s been two weeks and I haven’t had a chance to write anything at all. So instead I’ll do a post jenn style — all aboard my train of thought (let’s hope you can follow):

Background: I went to Chile with […]

home sweet home

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

i kinda went dark for 10 days there, eh? Not if you follow me on twitter, though.:)
Chile is an incredible place. Played on snow covered volcanoes, ran down gigantic sand dunes, and tasted some of the best wine I’ve ever had. And that’s barely scratching the surface.
Over the next few days I’ll be uploading photos […]

Chile so far

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Hello from chile. I have been at the Santiago airport for 7 hours now and our flight isn’t until 7. Hurray for travel days. An iPod touch and free wifi have made the wait more tolerable and ruthie and I have plenty to talk about.
I find Spanish very confusing - like French in a dream. […]

The dress

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

No, not that kind of white dress. But the dress I bought to take along to Vegas.
Those of you who follow me on Twitter might remember some tweets about a lost (and then found) bracelet of mine that I left at a store I had stopped at the night before to try [and then buy] […]
