The mid-week socializing game…

Awesome! Looks like this game has been a great success; I’m going to make this post/feature a weekly standard here!
Here’s how it works: I’ll start with a question, and the first person answers my question, and then asks a different question for the next person in the same comment.
I’ll start!
What is your favourite [...]

Wine tasting… Mmmm!

I’m finally going to put it together! I’ve been talking about it for months, now…
Here’s my idea: I’m going to put a list together of about 30 different wines, and for those coming to the get-together at my place, you pick one of the wines to bring. I’ll supply all the cool [...]

Everything has fallen nicely into place.

I took some time out this morning for me. I went for a nice long walk, while considering the past six months, and realized that I’ve come an incredibly long way in my life in a very short period of time.
And the conclusion I came to? My life is awesome these days. [...]

What?! No Friday Silliness?

Guys, I tried… *really* hard, but I couldn’t find anything funny enough for Friday Silliness this week! So, I’d love it if you guys posted something funny, or a joke, to fulfill my Friday Silliness requirement today! How could we have Friday around here without the fun?!
What are you looking forward to this [...]

Moi? Tagged?

I’ve been tagged by the talented “Just a Trumpet Player” to tell you 5 things (some of) you don’t know about me…
(She actually tagged me ages ago, but I didn’t notice ’til now… Sorry!)

– I was a lifeguard when I was in my late teens… And yet, I found out one of my biggest fears [...]

YIPPPPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111one

Wooo!!! I’m *so* excited, can you tell?
I was doing my regular check at Dell.ca today to see if I could spy a deal on my (soon-to-be) coveted Dell 30″ 3007WFP UltraSharp Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor, and low and behold, my research paid off today!
Check this:
Congratulations! You have qualified for [...]

The mid-week socializing game…

Last week’s game was such a success that I thought I’d continue it again this week!
Here’s how it works: I’ll start with a question, and the first person answers my question, and then asks a different question for the next person in the same comment.
I’ll start!
What is your favourite ice cream flavour?

My gratitude list, because it’s been a while:

On this rainy Tuesday afternoon in Vancouver, I find myself thinking about what I have in life that I’m very thankful for. I thought I’d share my list with you:

– My loving family who is always there to support me, even when they don’t always agree with my choices.
– My health. (One rarely realizes [...]

Why I blog?

Although I’m very new to it… (recently, speaking)

Dating has been very ‘interesting’ (yes, I’m using that word liberally) so far:
– I’m fighting with every ounce of my being not to change my profile to some bitter, cynical chick’s profile exclaiming that if you are a serial dater or looking for a quick screw, you need not apply to me.
– Additionally, if I [...]

A new way of blogrolling?

I think this recent project by Tino Buntic: 2000 bloggers, is a great way to promote blogs, while visually representing the personalities behind the blogrolls that most of use on a daily basis… (Perhaps one day soon, I’ll put a photo blogroll on my site!)  Can you find me?  I have no idea how I [...]

It’s 3am and I can’t sleep!

So much is moving through my brain these last few days.  It’s mostly good, but, it’s still too much traffic at this hour to get any sleep.
I really hope this sleeplessness doesn’t last for months like last time.  I function great on 8 hours of sleep, but 3 or 4 like I’ve been getting these [...]

‘Nother crazy-fun Friday night!

We had every intention of breaking in my new poker set tonight… But by the time we got going, and I began to read the rules, it was apparent that it wasn’t poker we were wanting to play!
So, “Asshole” it was.  Several rounds of it, and thankfully, we’re all good sports.
Well, maybe not Vern.  He [...]

What the hell is wrong with me?!

God, I feel like I’m going to crawl out of my skin with overwhelming mania!  Seriously!  This has been going on since yesterday afternoon!
No, I’m *not* taking anything illicit!  I’ve barely had any coffee today… (we didn’t have a can opener at work so I couldn’t open the new can of coffee [tragic]), and I’m [...]

Friday Silliness!!

“If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.”
– Jack Handy
 
What’s everyone looking forward to, this weekend!? 
Me?  I’m hosting a poker night at my place tonight (drop me an email if you’d like to be a part of the [...]

I’d just like to declare…

That I’m in a terrific mood! 
Yay for great moods!  I think it was because I got 8 hours of sleep last night, but hey, I’ll take the great mood, no matter how I came by it!
So, although I have a lot going on in life right now, I’m still finding things to be [...]

The mid-week socializing game…

I thought I’d try something new here for a change!
Here’s how it works: I’ll start with a question, and the first person answers my question, and then asks a different question for the next person in the same comment.
I’ll start!
What was the best movie you’ve seen recently?
ps: (OFF TOPIC) I just got off the phone with my landlord, [...]

Two For Tuesday…

This is going to be a sobering ‘Two for Tuesday’, but I need to share…
The topic for this week’s is:  Cancer and Screening
– Men, I urge you to please go and get regular PSA (prostate specific antigen) tests after 40 which can detect prostate cancer at an early stage.  It’s a simple bloodtest that can save your [...]

Again!

I haven’t laughed so much and so hard in a very long time.
Holy!  Last weekend was a blast.  And, even though I was all achy and sick, I still had a great time.  Now, that’s saying something!  We had the ‘word of the hour’ (kind of like Peewee Herman’s word), as well as a roadtrip [...]
