Two Fer Tuesday…

Here’s a Two Fer Tuesday question for you!
What two things in your life are stressing you out the most right now?
I’ll start:

Getting a solid answer from my new possible landlords is stressing me out at the moment. Apparently, according to the company that’s representing the landlord in the US, this company takes a long [...]

Likely our new abode, fingers crossed!

Tickled PINK!

Sweet! My first online grocery shopping order came exactly when they said they would, the produce was flawless, the three things that were backordered were removed from my total, and the best part? The beer was cold.
I’m thrilled! So, all you Vancouverites! Want $10 off your first online grocery order? [...]

Mark this day on the calendar!

It’s 2006. I’m an internet professional.
What did I do today? I shopped online for groceries for the first time in my life. What’s wrong with this picture?
I really, really hope this new company in Vancouver doesn’t let me down — This was an excellent way to get my household needs (which I [...]

Okay. Seriously?

For Friday silliness… I request that you all go and check out this blog.
‘Nuff said.
HAPPY FRIDAY. What are you doing at home reading this? Go out and play. Now.

Taking a moment to be thankful:

I’m thankful for…

Waking up this morning to a beautiful, sunny, crisp morning in Vancouver. This city is so incredible!
The warm, delicious (non-starbucks) mocha in my hand, and especially for those four shots of espresso in it.
A remarkably sweet, and thoughtful boyfriend who doesn’t mind when I drool on his chest.
A career that I love. [...]

An exercise in looking hot, baby!

Last night was a brilliant lesson in looking sexy for my boy. Picture this:
My hair, thoroughly cooking in the grossest smelling hair dye/bleach I’ve ever experienced, piled on top of my head (I have a lot of hair), my scalp seeping with blood (my poor scalp hates bleach), with the creamy crappy goop running [...]

Caution: Whining post about web design

Y’know, I thought I was done with all this cross-browser compatibility shit when Netscape all but disappeared. Now, I’ve got two other piles of crap on my hands (don’t worry, I shall wash them afterwards) — Mozilla’s Firefox and IE6 CSS2 standards compliancy differences, not to mention the upcoming release of Internet Explorer 7 [...]

It totally sucks when…

…You make a joke that a close friend finds totally offensive and takes it as a personal slight, but doesn’t say anything about it for weeks afterwards.
And, it really bothers me on so many levels that this person was so hurt by my off-handed remark, and didn’t bother to tell me for so long.
I can’t [...]

Workin’ for the weekend!

Oh wait. It is the weekend.
I’m at the office this afternoon because I have some catching up to do on video editing and I haven’t set up my system at home to capture analog video nor my Adobe Premiere to edit the clips. So, I’m at the office, trying to get my head [...]

Don’t mind the dust!

I’m re-skinning my blog at the moment…
It’s getting late, so I will do the rest tomorrow. In the meantime, I look forward to any comments you guys have on what I’ve done so far. (Just remember, there’s still some bugs, and I’m not finished updating all the pages yet!)
HAPPY FRIDAY!

Feeling better today…

Happy FRIDAY, everyone! I’m feeling better today. Just thought I’d announce that.
I think, perhaps, my biggest problem yesterday was the lack of sleep I had the night before due to a food allergy. As usual, when I’m tired, I become a true blonde — This includes forgetting to read labels of food [...]

Desperately seeking my “Me” time

I’ve misplaced it somewhere. Has anyone seen it?
My heartfelt and sincere apologies go out to all my dear friends who’ve not heard from me in weeks. I promise, this busy time for me will die down soon (I hope), and I’ll be able to pick up the phone like I keep promising, and [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

For the first time, I can honestly say, I’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day with the love of my life. My soulmate.
That’s a truly spectacular feeling…
Happy Valentine’s Day, Sweetheart. My world hasn’t stopped glowing since you entered my life. I love you!
I am also sending Valentine’s wishes out to everyone else on this [...]

So much for taking the easy road.

Yep. I tried to update the look and feel of this blog with just some colour changes and a light amount of CSS updates… But, no. It’s not working. I’ve gotta do a proper re-design, instead of this half-assed attempt to give you guys a different experience.
So, as soon as I find [...]

Adventures in home hunting?

It’s about time I announced it. Most of you already know, anyhow… Michael and I are moving in together!
The timing, such as it was, gave us an opportunity to co-habitate a bit earlier than we expected — We were faced with either me moving into a new place on my own, which would [...]

A day early for Friday silliness, but what the hell!

My Sweetie sent me this via email today, and I just had to share it with you all…
Happy Thursday!

I think it’s time, to re-design!

I’ve been itching to re-design this blog, as the current design you see has not been re-visited in over 2 years! I know the value of maintaining a branding continuity, which I believe I can do and still have a fresh look and feel… But I wanted to ask my visitors for some inspiration!
Have [...]

Two Fer Tuesday…

Here’s a question for you…
What two weekend getaways would you take, if you could only leave on a Friday night, and you had to be back at work on a Monday morning?
My answer:

I’d head to a bed & breakfast in wine country (Kelowna and surrounding area) and book a full-day wine tasting tour at the [...]
