This is how I suntan

IMG_5587 Originally uploaded by jennschac I hate the sun. I think I’m a geisha and like to stay white. I do this because I don’t want to have wrinkles, and also because I do a bad job tanning (I burn) so instead have switched my strategy and decided to do a GREAT job staying white! […]

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 […]

In an attempt to further delay my run…

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

I have entered the contest on Chic Runner’s website to win a shopping spree at Zensah! And they ship to Canada so it’s a contest whose prize I can actually win! Yippee! And now for a 12km run… Grumble. Though I think it would be way more fun in one of these skirts…

home sweet home

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 […]

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 […]

Friday, June 19th, 2009

I was my own flash mob on the 4th ring. Also, think twice before you search for “White hot” on YouTube. Especially at work. Edit: I can’t get the video to embed correctly, so here’s the link

…I would love to! At the [White Hot] Ballet

Friday, June 19th, 2009

A few months ago, my friend Elaine sent an email out with an invite she had received to the White Hot Gala for the National Ballet. As young folks in the city, we were offered tickets for about $30 to the event. We were also told that there would be the opportunity to do our […]

Theories

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I’ve been sending a lot of emails to book various things in Chile. I’ve noticed some weirdness. The first time I sent out emials, it was to four different places in the same city (Pucon). I sent all of the emails at about 10:30PM (FYI Chile is in the same timezone). I heard back from […]
