My house is sparkly clean. I spent almost a full day washing, dusting, vacuuming and dishes to remove one task I had to complete in my brain.
Now I move from the computer to the tv and back again. Normally I don’t watch any tv. It's either on Ch. 43 (Treehouse) for Mason or it’s off. But since…
If you are on my FB, LinkedIN or Twitter, you would have seen my post announcing that I am no longer employed.
In October 2010 I left my employer of 2 years to move to a much smaller company in search of new career growth. Unexpectedly I was laid off after two weeks. This was a shock, I had never …
It's been a year since I won my Yummy Mummy Makeover and I can't honestly tell you how much I weigh now. What I can tell you is that since October 2010, I have not exercised once (hiking excluded) and while I did modify my diet (no daily milk, cheese, yogurt, cereal, serious reduction of meat and …
It is almost 10am, I’ve been up since 7:45am but spent most of my morning gabbing on the phone with my best buddy Tim. So now that it’s later in the morning, my mind is reeling on what exactly I need to pack for my first road trip with Mason.
The details:
Day 1 - Leaving Monday after work …
I hate throwing out food. Especially expensive berries.
I *should* be taking the time to source out locally grown farm berries but life happens and it’s off to Safeway we go to pay a gazillion dollars for some sweet berries. I’m very picky about my fruit. It has to be perfect. No mold, deformit…
Well it was inevitible, my parents brand new car was returned to them and I got my 2003 Toyota Corolla back (with a full tank of gas, thanks Dad!).
As I treated this swap as more of a extended test drive, I thought I'd just write up a bit of a summary of my experience with a new SUV compared to a 4 …
I've never been one to give up or to pay full price. When I recently went through he|| just to get my cherished Grandparents war medals framed, I had two choices:
1. Pay a ridiculous amount of money to get fancy glass and triple the price on the materials and have a professional create the frame…
So today was the big day! I had my ESM session this morning and got back to the house to hang out until I had to be at the centre for 1:15pm but once I reviewed my booklets, I realized my appointment wasn't until 2:15pm as my surgery was at 3:15! Geez.
My Dad was driving me as my Mom stayed home w…
The title of this blog is a quote I have used often over the past few years. We all know (or at least my blog viewers and close friends) know I had a hard 2010. It was full of the top life stressors (divorce, moving, death and job loss) all in a span of 7 months.
In an effort to ward off the neg…
So today is the first appointment out of many on my path to brand new eyes! It's not my first visit as I did a consult back in 2009 but unfortuantely the timing was not right so I didn't proceed with the surgery. To give you an idea of what is involved in getting your new eyes, I will blog from st…
Prior to my road trip to Alberta, a coworker suggested that I download some e-books (aka digital books) to my iPod to listen to while driving through the mountains. Especially in areas that the radio would not work in. A great idea! I thought.
So I went online to the library to view the titles I…
I am almost finished writing a blog series on HIParent.ca and today's topic is Medical Benefits. It is something that a lot of us have through our employer (thank goodness) but I can honestly say from past experience, didn't fully take advantage of. I went years not using my much needed massage b…
Way back in 1998 when I was working at Staples, I met my co-worker Tim. Tim and I got talking and Tim is convinced that we had met before on the Internets. Okay, before the real Internet. On a BBS where we didn't use real names. That was 1996. So depending on who you talk to, we've known each o…

I wanted a yummy breakfast and so I decided to make pancakes. I was out of my favorite flapjack mix so I had to make my pancakes from scratch! Seeing that I had a leftover package of gluten free flour from a previous baking adventure disaster, I decided to make GF pancakes! I found this reci… |
