Birthday Treats

I have to admit that after I turned 30 (which was quite the un-joyous occasion, I cried).  I stopped celebrating my birthday.  I just wasn't into arranging an event and I didn't have any volunteers to set up a surprise party for me.  So it was pretty low key.

Man, you are trying my patience!!

Do you know all the Vancouver parking by-laws? Cause I sure as hell don't.

It's 4:30pm, time to wrap up this work day and head home.  I grab my purse, lunch bag and laptop bag and head out the door, cheerily saying 'goodbye - have a good weekend' to my coworkers.  I start to walk up the street to my car and as I glance up.  The space in which I parked my car at 7:45am is n…

Pssssst. Want a deal?

You must be living under a rock if you haven't heard of the latest shopping craze.   It's one of those ideas that you hear of, slap your hand onto your forehead and say "Geez, *I* should have thought of that!".

 

Well for those of you rock dwellers, here is how it works: 

Groupon, GoLowDeal, Soc…

Whirlwind Trip to Whistler

It all started with Groupon.

I saw this deal and figured I deserved a quick getaway to relieve some stress.  I posted an event 

On Facebook to see who else was interested in going (girls only!).  Not long after I posted, I had 4 of us confirmed to go.  Two good friends and my Cousin who I’ve reco…
