I think I’ve been brought to my knees the past couple of days with Norwalk… You know, that awful virus that causes severe gastro-intestinal distress? I had a flu shot this year, so it’s likely not that, and besides, the symptoms I’m dealing with aren’t classic flu-like.
Instead, I’ve been barfing, and well… No [...]

…Mine has got to be that last moment of the day, just before I drift off to sleep. It’s at that very moment, no matter how difficult or trying my day has been, I can blissfully let go of all the stresses that have accumulated to that point and drift off into another place.
Yesterday [...]

First off: Thanks to all you amazing friends who made it out to the housewarming party last Saturday! Michael and I thoroughly enjoyed the night, and it was great to see everyone! I hope you all had as much fun as we did…
Hopefully, I’ll have time this week to post some photos from [...]

Hey, check it out… My man got to stitching together our view from our place… (click on it to make it bigger) It actually doesn’t show the English Bay view very well, but the rest looks awesome! (I’m copying this without permission, but I’m sure he won’t mind!)

All you housewarmers tomorrow night will [...]

I haven’t seen a good romantic comedy in a long time… I’ve seen a few romantic dramas recently (although I believe they were supposed to be comedies?) which were just “okay”, such as Prime, for instance — That was weird to see Uma Thurman in a role like that — And, this movie certainly [...]

I just don’t get it. Seriously. Someone help me out…
Apparently, from other blogs that I’ve been reading lately, people don’t want to read blogs where people are actually happy and enjoying their lives, and are truly, deeply in love with their partner. WTF? Isn’t this a good thing? Does blogging [...]

Lisa, Rob and the kids came to pick up the micro-hifi system just now. I wish I could have spent longer with them, as I never get to see them. I did, however, finally get to meet their youngest baby (I can’t believe I haven’t yet met him: That’s just crazy) who was [...]

I hope everyone had a really nice Easter weekend! We spent ours in Parksville at a seaside resort attending a family reunion of sorts. I say, of sorts, because many of the family weren’t there — But, it was nice to catch up with the ones that were. Sadly, my niece, who’s [...]

Seriously, there shouldn’t be a debate.
Four is far better than two, and for Christ’s sake, two is exponentially better than one.
And, if you don’t believe me, you need to go and buy some for yourself.
Tonight, Miranda and Reilly came over to grab dinner at Zefferelli’s with us — Fab dinner!! We all enjoyed it [...]

…and taking names. In the spirit of Easter, I bring you… FRIDAY SILLINESS!

Enjoy! …And, don’t overdose on chocolate! I’ve done that, and it ain’t fun. Cheers all!

This morning, I said goodbye to the Black Beast, after giving her new owner the run-down on her little issues and attitude. It was heartbreaking to watch her zoom off into the next chapter of her adventures. She was so much fun to ride…
And then, I said hello to a new-to-me ‘Urban Barn’ [...]

My Sweetie just sent me a quick heads up on a local news story we’ve been following.
Graham McMynn was just found alive in Surrey.
That is a pretty incredible development, given that he’d been gone over a week after being abducted at gunpoint (this just doesn’t happen in Vancouver!), and the family hadn’t been contacted as [...]

Today’s blog entry is brought to you by the letter “D”.
To continue on with yesterday’s ‘Inspirational Blog Title’, today I’m going to reflect on my first junior high dance, and the music that began my passion for music in most forms.
It’s the year 1983, and I’m in grade 8. I can remember standing in [...]

Well, it’s a done deal! Michael and I went down to Future Shop (yes, sorry Al, I was going insane and wanted a bit of an impulse buy) and after listening to a few systems, I bought a Sony home theatre system that takes up very little room, has no rear speakers to deal [...]

Yay! Or, not. Yay, because we’ve finally finished building the last of the furniture for the office… M seemed to thoroughly enjoy playing with glue, while putting together the drawer units, and now we’ve got a place to finish organizing our crap.
Or not, because, well it’s Sunday, and I’m sooo not ready for [...]

PHEW! I went into the office early today, with my heart set on getting home at a reasonable hour tonight to finish putting together the office furniture. Well, at least I got the desks done!

Notice the beer in the middle of the room? Let me tell you, until I cracked open that [...]

I need to blog about this… Because it’s important, and certainly a part of my life. I’m not going to go into details, because it’s not directly about me, and I don’t have the right to discuss intimate details about someone else here without permission.
I just feel so damned helpless. Someone close to [...]

My Dad is probably going to smile in quiet relief when he reads this: I believe I just sold the Black Beast.
I’ve had several people interested in her, and today, someone made me a reasonable offer which I accepted. The money is not yet in hand, but I’m already feeling sad about the sale.
But, [...]

This comment came from my “new boy” over dinner on Saturday night after my lament that my feet are my favourite physical body part and nobody ever seems to notice how lovely they are - to which the entire table erupted into fantastically silly laughter. Yeah, he’s great.
The line itself came out of [...]
