GPOYW #1

Stumbled upon on tumblr,  and because  I haven’t updated in a while, here’s what I look like right now, today: I had a long day: worked out at the gym until I thought I broke something inside, subway to Yonge and Bloor and then I walked home. It’s about 6km if I include all the [...]

Hockey Night in Toronto

I hadn’t seen a live Leafs game in years, not since they’d moved out of The Gardens so I was totally psyched when my boss offered me her extra ticket. So psyched that Shannon and I came home a day early from Vancouver. We had nosebleed seats and I quickly realized that I had No [...]

Work, work, work

That’s all I do. Well. Not really. But because I don’t technically work many hours, I try to keep busy doing other stuff during the day so I don’t feel like an entire waste of time. Knitting, cooking, baking, sewing, all that kind of good stuff. And once the weather is a tiny bit warmer, [...]

Grr.

Angry because my computer crashed and I hadn’t saved my blog post about our trip to Vancouver. It wasn’t big, no, but still. Anyway, it was a good trip, I loved the hotel we stayed at just because it was new and uber swanky. So swanky there were extremely fancy cars always parked outside-like the [...]

Productivity is up 17%

I had such a busy day, I’ve completely sewn the top of the new baby quilt I started-get this-yesterday. No, I won’t post a picture of it yet, it’s a surprise gift for a friend who’s pregnant and if she can wait, so can the rest of the universe. In lieu, here’s a picture of [...]

Gesundheit!

I’ve been working on being extra healthy this winter and so far, so good. No colds or flues to mention-yet. Part of that regime was inspired by Karyn, the owner of the workroom where I am taking my quilting class. One evening she was making herself dinner, and it smelled so good I knew I [...]

Dumb diddy dumb

Last night, on my way home from quilting class (which, just to be clear, I LOVE!), I was on the bus, headphones deep in my ears blaring Howard Stern when 2 LDS guys got on. I think, if I remember correctly, their names were Elder Brainwashed and Elder Superdoy. Anyway. One leaned towards me and [...]

The Royal

I went to the Royal Winter Fair last Friday with my boss and my dad. It was the first time they’ve met and they got along really well. As always, my favourite part (since they didn’t have any poultry worth looking at) are the giant veggies. This beast is a 32lb beet. Imagine how much [...]

Let’s play ball!

I went to my first Jay’s game of the season last night-they played Baltimore and lost 7-5. It was still a good game, mostly I am bored by baseball, but it is smattered with excitement and that’s what keeps me awake. That and my satellite radio-I had Howard Stern blabbing in my ear for most [...]

Add “gardening” to my list of mad skillz

We have a little planter, it’s about 4′ by 5′, that is completely in the shade and I’d kind of been avoiding dealing with it, but today is a sunny day and it felt like a day to tackle an ugly project. The hole was full of broken glass, beer bottle caps, w-d-40 cans, plastic [...]
