Thanks to everyone who came and warmed my house on Friday night! It was a fantastic turnout, and everyone seemed to have a good time. There were definitely some delightful and memorable moments in the evening, and some were captured by my camera. Yes, the photos will be up tomorrow when I [...]

In the spirit of Easter, we had a little Easter Egg hunt this morning in the office. Yes, you heard me right…
Problem is, I am so stacked with work today that I had to do it while working. How sad is that? I’m writing a press release, while looking around my office [...]

The day just isn’t going to start well when, for the second time in a week, Artigianos gives me my cookie only to have me bite into it and realize it’s *NOT* chocolate chip & oatmeal like I asked for.
RAISINS in cookies *must* be banned. C’mon, kids! Let’s start a movement!!
At least I [...]

40 GB iPOD Goodness!
Okay. This is definitely my last big purchase. Well, it was actually a real deal on eBay… A used iPOD, 40 GB, 3rd Generation model that is slightly scratched up. Normally, I don’t like buying used electronics, but this was such a great deal. I wouldn’t have purchased [...]

…We’ll have to chalk this last weekend’s regatta to one of the most interesting on record. It was very odd, all the way around.
It started when we all walked up to a local pizza place near the hotel just outside of Seattle. We waited to cross the road at the crosswalk when all [...]

I’m off to go and race in the rain in Seattle this weekend! We’re leaving right from work to try to avoid some of the spring break traffic at the border. The Green Lake regatta takes place on Saturday, and we’ve got to be up at the unGodly hour of 5am to be [...]

It’s Jer’s birthday today!! I took him out to Hermitage, located on Robson, last night for dinner. It was a really wonderful evening, and I’m glad I chose that restaurant to surprise him with… It was perfect. He loved it.
That said — We’re both getting old! We took a detour as [...]

On a more personal note today, I’ve been trying to figure out lately why it’s so important to me to live with someone before I ever get re-married again. It’s really something, in my eyes, that is a requirement before I walk down the aisle and spend the rest of my life with someone.
But, [...]

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his cellphone and calls the emergency services. He gasps: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator says: “Calm down, I can help. First, let’s [...]

For all those that were missing my Friday Silliness, I bet you’re glad I waited until Monday afternoon to post this one!
Unfortunately, this item is sold, however if you contact the buyer perhaps you can get a deal or even share the item. I’m suitably impressed with the documentation that was sold with said [...]

Oookay. That was weird. I was just standing in the Cafe Artigianos line-up to get my morning cookie, and the woman behind me kept looking expectantly around me with a smile on her face. The second time she did it, I thought well maybe she thinks she knows me so I did [...]

The wind rushing through (what remains of) my hair, the sun shining down on me, and making the day glow, and a large, round peice of wood is loosly being grasped between my fingers. Get your mind out of the gutter — I was in a ‘four’ today, which is a sweep boat for [...]

Don’t you absolutely go nuts when you take time out of your day to call someone, and they make you feel like shit for not calling sooner? I hate using the phone… At least I hate calling people, because I always get their voicemail, and it never seems like anyone actually picks up the [...]

I’m in one of those very strange kinda moods. Not a bad mood at all, not edgy nor grumpy… Just strange. I can’t put my finger on it. It’s almost a ’squirly kind of mood’ — It’s rare that I feel this, well, precocious. I feel like doing something really naughty, [...]

Hehehehehehheheheheheh!!
I’m loving the new tv, especially watching DVD input. I’m so pleased that the plasma even has a direct computer input so I can have a freekin 42″ monitor for my multimedia centre that Jer and I are building. New toys are soooo much fun!
[[place evil grin here]]

ARgHhhh…
Next challenging buying decision!! I’ve been wanting to replace my TV (well, replace in the livingroom, where it should be — It’s already been relegated to the bedroom in anticipation of the replacement) with something bigger. I used to have a Sony 52″ XBR, and LOVED it. These days, that’s just too [...]

…Living alone, and being able to pull something out of the dirty dishwasher and know exactly where it’s been.
Bliss!

I’m feeling really clumsy lately.
I swear I grew three legs, and two left feet in my sleep over the last week. I’m sure this would be great if I was an alien, but it’s not working so well for me as a normally graceful (shush, Vern) chick who doesn’t often drop stuff or fall [...]

My new home is awesome!! My livingroom couch and chair were delivered early this morning, and it looks great! I’m just about finished unpacking my stuff, which is a relief, and I finally have internet access as my cable was installed last night. The only issue at this point is the stupid [...]
