Let the adventures begin!

Wow… I have had some awesome adventures so far in my new home! Last weekend was so much fun — Friday night Corree and I went to the Fish House in Stanley Park for an amazing (albeit slow serviced) meal, after which we came back to my place and had a quick beer before [...]

All moved in! …The Suburban Chick turns Urban!

This is what I woke up to at 7:30 this morning. …Taken from my bed!

What a life! This makes all the stress of moving worthwhile, I say. I woke up and rubbed my eyes this morning and tried really hard to get my vision to work without my glasses, and when I [...]

Saving Breasts!

“Row For The Cure” at the Rowing Club today has been a gas — Our team even won prizes for the most pledges! — $1600 for a good cause, The Canadian Cancer Society. The event was based on teams of 12 ergging (using the rowing machine) for a total of an hour. [...]

…Back to Vancouver!

9:30pm Location- JFK Airport
My flight 889, New York to Vancouver, seems at this point to be departing on time at 11:10pm EDT. It’s been a really great week for me in the Big Apple! I’m glad that I was able to represent the company I work for at this latest tradeshow and [...]

[Place photo of New York skyline here]

Hey everyone!
I’m having a great time in New York! I wish my connection here in my hotel room wasn’t so sporatic, or I’d take the time to update more often. I’m on a “borrowed” wireless connection from someplace pretty far away. I’m barely getting a signal, and I’d hate to think what [...]

Random thoughts from a Cathay Pacific flight:

It’s 4:08pm Pacific Time (or 7:08 EDT) and I’m sitting in the 54th row (exit & bulk head seats) on a direct Cathay Pacific flight to JFK beside Jenn. We boarded the aircraft at 1:15pm PDT, and proceeded to wait another 40 minutes for the takeoff… Which was fine with us as we knew [...]

All time low for the male species:

Okay, you thought my getting dumped in a parking lot was bad? How about getting dumped via email by the same person that fought so hard not two months ago to get you back?
Let’s not forget this is probably one of the most stressful workdays in months for me — I leave [...]

I’m in an awesome mood!

It’s crunch time! I’m down to only tomorrow to work on my projects for the upcoming tradeshow in New York, and things are going well. Everything that *had* to go to the printers has, and there doesn’t seem to be too many issues or glitches so far. I just hope I haven’t [...]

Time is short, life is busy. What else is new??

Lunch hour update: I’m *very* overwhelmed with last minute work-related priorities for my upcoming tradeshow. I leave on Friday, and now there’s a ton of little things that haven’t been taken care of. Most of these things need to be completed today, so that I can have the materials to the printer [...]

Brrr. I’d like to sleep now.

I’m absolutely freezing at the moment. I’ve been shivering under the blanket in my office for the past three hours, trying desperately to drift to sleep to no avail.
I really, really need some sleep. I should have driven home hours ago after leaving Jeremy’s place, but decided that I was just too tired [...]

Wow… More changes and life happenings!

And so begins my Novice rowing year…
Saturday was a good day. I didn’t work, and the day was incredible — Perfect day on the water to start my Novice time at Vancouver Rowing Club. I feel very fortunate because I have a great team of 5 women who all love rowing as much [...]

Girl time!

Ya know, it’s really nice to have a sleepover every once in a while. I haven’t done this in so long that I barely remember the last time, actually. I really had a great night!
Corree and I started off on a mission at Metrotown — Must. Find. Suit for New York. Alas, [...]

Wait!

Oi.
That last post sounded distinctly negative, upon re-reading. It wasn’t meant to sound that way — But rather to overview my unsettlement that I’m currently experiencing on many fronts.
September arrives… And with it, a whole new set of possibilities.
I *do* love my life. Really!
Bring on all that life has [...]
