So many upcoming changes!

I’m feeling a little off-kilter lately.
My good friend (maybe even one of my best friends?? Shhh, don’t tell Vern…) moved out last Friday night. Done while I was away, it was really hard for me to open the door on Monday afternoon and see everything gone. Having never lived on my own [...]

Coal Harbour is GROSS!

I learned this first hand the other day. Up close and personal like.
Yep, you guessed it — I became a “real” rowerchick, when a member of my crew (I won’t mention any names) caught a crab and let go of their blade as we went through a wave. It all happened in slow [...]

Food for thought?

After my last post, this one is going to sound like I’m turning into a cynical bitch…
Today, during a team lunch at the office (Our first in over a year) I was told by a colleague after mentioning that I had been in cadets for all of my teen years, that my upbringing was unhealthy [...]

WHAT THE (*&$@(*#$&!!!!!!

Okay, get this…
On Friday the 13th, I went down to get into my car in the underground garage and as I approach my car I stop short, realizing that the !@)*(#$&@#$ assholes beside me have rammed into the back of my car with their white van… They’ve left a ton of white paint behind, as [...]

Summertime activities!

A whole week between posts! What can I say… I’ve been kept pretty busy!
I had wanted to post when I actually had photos from last Friday to include, but alas, my camera (and I) haven’t been home to charge the battery so that I can obtain said pictures. Due to mounting pressure from [...]

Oh man… NO more DENTISTS for a while please!

I’m officially tired of dentists.
I had to go back and get my tooth fixed again. Talk about pain, panic attacks, and a general feeling of frustration with my teeth. I have now had the same tooth fixed three times in the past four months. This time, I was simply flossing (I’m not [...]

So that’s what relaxing feels like!

I escaped last weekend with Jeremy to head to a B&B on Pender Island. I’m so glad we got away… I really needed the break.
Jeremy and I heading over to Pender on the Ferry (Yep, that’s me getting helmet head)

Who needs a whale-watching tour?We spotted a ton of whales from our amazing view, and [...]

Finally, a moment to download photos!

Wow, I am currently enjoying a real, honest to goodness, lunch break for a change. Granted, it’s at 3pm, but at least I have a lunch break today.
I took a moment to finally download some photos from the Learn To Row Regatta last weekend, and thought I’d share two with everyone. Now, I [...]

Ahh… The smell of the office…

On a long weekend.
When the air conditioning hasn’t been on in over three days.
And no air has been circulating. At all. Not even a little.
Yum.
So, kids… Can you tell where I am on this wonderful long weekend evening? Yep, you guessed it! My new home. The office.
To be honest, though [...]

Quick sanity break!

It’s 6am. Do you know where your web application developer is?
Well… This one is STILL at work. And, I will be for some time yet. Sleep? Bah! Who needs sleep when you have ephedra? Crap — I *know* I’m doing very, very bad things to my body staying up [...]
