Who’s fed up? ME! Me!!!! I’m so damned tired of being frustrated as I walk the gauntlet to my home, a mere three and a half blocks from my office. The gauntlet consists of not less than five, and sometimes as many as twelve homeless people begging, screaming, crying, glaring, freaking out, and generally annoying [...]

I was just reading Darren’s site, and noticed that there’s another blogger meetup this Thursday, December 2nd. After a quick glance at my calendar, I’m surprised that it’s actually clear that night! What a concept. Who’s coming? If you would like to join in the fun, here’s the details, as posted on Darren’s site: Vancouver [...]

The Captain’s Dinner last night was a lot of fun. I arrived at 6:30 with my date, and I was surprised to find that we were some of the first people there. It didn’t take long, however, for the upstairs bar to fill up with sparkly, shiny people. Everyone looked fantastic! Although the evening was [...]

This morning I did something very odd. I stood in a booth, naked as a jailbird, and had brown gooey stuff sprayed all over me for about 10 seconds. I probably looked really freeking bizarre with a blue disposable showercap on my head, dripping in brown gunk. In fact, I’m praying they didn’t have hidden [...]

I’m off to go and try to give a significant amount of my free time away, for the next year. That’s right, I’m running for the Executive Committee of the Rowing Section at the club. Why am I doing this, you ask? Because I believe I can do a fantastic job of Public Relations and [...]

(You know who you are!) [place stupid grin here] I just couldn’t help myself: “For mad scientists who keep brains in jars, here’s a tip: why not add a slice of lemon to each jar, for freshness?” – Jack Handy

I don’t know why I do it! I’ve got so much going on, and I’m really booked with social functions for the next month, and yet, somehow I expect that I’m going to have time to date as well. I hate dissapointing people! Honestly, I really shouldn’t be dating at all until January, but I [...]

…When I have to row on Saturday morning. (err… Noon — Close enough) I’m actually extremely surprised that I’m not incredibly hung over today after the amount of martinis I consumed last night. Holy crap!!! They were DAMNED good martinis… Um. I had 9 I think. Crazy. I had a super great time last night, [...]

YAY! It’s Friday! Break out the balloons and party hats! Wheee! Can you tell I had perhaps a half a beer too much at lunch today? It’s not my fault — Jenn’s a bad influence. To be quite honest, however, I am glad we did do our ‘It’s Friday So Let’s Be Free’ lunch today, [...]

I’ve been feeling kind of down the last few days. I know it’s because my hormones are screwed — I haven’t had my depo shot, and I’m three weeks past when I should have gotten it. I just can’t be bothered. By not getting it, I am pretty much nixxing any opportunity I have to [...]

I know, as crazy as this may sound… It’s 12 noon, and I’m not rowing today. I should be there right now. I’m quite sick, (AGAIN). It’s true, I did row two regattas a few weeks back with strep, but today I’m sick with a bad cold and I’m finding it hard to breath. That’s [...]

I learned the other day that my ex-husband and his new wife had a baby boy last week. How strange that felt to hear the news — I knew she was pregnant, but somehow it didn’t really hit me that she’d be having his child (I know, weird, hey?) until I heard the news from [...]

Wow. I’ve pulled boneheaded moves in the past, but this one takes the cake: It was late (3am), and I was writing an email to someone — A sensitive email that contained material that I really didn’t want any other eyes to view besides the recipient. In my fatigued state, I dragged someone else’s contact [...]

…Was great! I had a good time, and Vern generously took me out to a nice dinner at Aria beforehand — I felt spoilt all the way around. What a great way to spend a Sunday night. This was the fifth musical I’ve seen in my lifetime — I don’t understand why I haven’t made [...]

I’d say… But I laughed really hard when I read it. Yesterday, while reading Vern’s blog, I laughed when I saw he has touched on a subject that I find pretty funny… As a matter of fact, Chris and I even have an acronym for the subject matter — We coined it the first day [...]
