So we were at St. Paul’s again tonight to follow up on Friday’s joyousness. The verdict is: nothing appears to be broken. There’s still some significant swelling of the hands and knee, but the CT scan showed no abnormalities. Typing remains a challenge for Tanya (more so than normal, I mean ) though so [...]

Yesterday evening, Tanya had a slight mishap with her 650 cc’s of Suzuki goodness. The important part of all this is that she’s fine, relatively speaking. But she won’t be typing much in the next few days, nor can she be counted on to try out for the speed walking team.
We were in St. [...]

How two women can talk for five and a half hours and have it feel like 45 minutes. Kinda scary, actually.

Andrea, my rowing buddy, came out tonight and shared a bottle (and a bit) of wine and some yummy cheese and wonderful conversation tonight — Good times. It’s quite amazing what one [...]

MY BIKE ROARS TO LIFE!!! Wooohooo! I just saved myself $110 on a new bike battery after almost being convinced that my battery was ruined when it was left in auxillary mode for a few days. The one last-ditch effort to attempt to restore my battery paid off when I had Jeremy [...]

This is the most ridiculous website I’ve seen in a very long time: CryingWhileEating.com

Who thinks this crap up?

Well, I’ve decided it’s about time that I took out my rollerblades from the deepest, darkest part of my closet, and gave them a whirl. I figure what better way to get humble than try to break my leg, arm or whatever getting down the not-so-subtle hill to Pender to make my way to [...]

My new (to me) Suzuki SV650S — With a dead battery at the moment.
Can you believe I’ve had my new Suzuki for over 3 days, and I haven’t even ridden it yet? I need off-traffic time on the bike, and it’s been raining (and the bike *really* needs new tires). I [...]

I bought a motorcycle on Thursday night!!!!!! — A Suzuki SV650S — It’s a really pretty bike, which has custom farings, and a custom black paint job. 2001, which is exactly what I had hoped for in terms of model years.
Jeremy was very helpful (very) in the purchase. Because he had much experience [...]

I don’t really have anything to post about today. I’m in a weird mood. Not weird bad… Just weird.
I do want to wish Diane, my future sis-in-law (well, she kinda is already, according to the law) a very, very happy 25th birthday (*cough* — At least we stopped counting at 25, LOL!) today. [...]

Y’know, I wasn’t going to vote. Then I got to thinking about all those people who have died to be in the position I am in today — Living in a place where I can freely enter a polling location without persecution, and be a part of the democratic process. So, I did.
Having [...]

What better way to spend a Monday, than to take a personal day? Yep — That’s what I was up to today. One vacation day = Happier Tanya.
Well, it was *almost* completely about me today, anyhow. I did have lunch with a client, but he’s my favourite client, and I always walk [...]

Let’s face it… You know you are settling into a relationship again when you have sex once a week.

Coming from a mid-30-something chick, that’s *almost* a death-nell.
C’mon girls — I’m not the only one feeling this way, am I? The once-a-week-sex situation sucks… I don’t like being so busy that it’s not [...]

…Even if I’m only a small part of the big picture.
Today I learned that someone was offered a job because I was able to give them a heads up about the position (I immediately thought of her when the job came up)… That’s so cool. She definitely earned the position, and it’s well-suited to [...]

In point form, here’s a few thoughts from my life recently:

Hitchhiker’s Guide wasn’t the movie I was hoping it would be — Although it had some entertaining parts, it could have been much funnier. I’m sticking to the books if I need some HHG laughs. Wait for the rental is my suggestion to [...]

Hey all –
Sorry, I’ve been too busy living to be around the ‘puter on my time off. I will try to update the blog tomorrow as well as add in the photos from the Trailer Trash Party from a few weeks ago (good times @ VRC!!) and photos from our recent Seattle adventure where [...]
