From Coal Harbour, to Yaletown!

I’ve got a new home!! I’m officially going to be living like a yuppie in Yaletown (at “Aqua at the Park”), directly across the water from Granville Island. I’ve got a water view, all stainless steel appliances, gas stove, 768 sf of goodness, a separate office with a window, and amazing building amenities: [...]

It’s the MID-WEEK Socializing Game!

Hey guys! It’s that time of the week, again… Time to socialize on the fly! (And, I’ll have one of those shots in the photo, please!)
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 [...]

Hold me to it?

All… Riiighty… Then!
I’m dedicated to reaching my fitness goals. I have a plan…
When: March 1st (because I have the winefest the day before)
Why: Because, man, I need to get into shape, BAD.
Where: My home gym to start, and after I move, wherever my trainer will work from.
Who: My 30-lb. overweight self, who seriously [...]

Aw, bummer!

I just got an email from Global TV… As I suspected, I wasn’t chosen as a finalist. Oh well — I’m definitely motivated to get fit, so I’ll be taking the challenge on my own, anyhow. Now, I’ll just make *sure* that the new home I choose will have a really [...]

I’m happy.

At risk of sounding like someone suffering from bi-polar (sometimes I wish I had mania, really…) I have finally come out of the fog I’ve been in for quite some time now. I feel happy again.
That’s not to say that there aren’t a ton of things on my plate that could potentially stress the [...]

Wow.

…I’m not prolific.
There’s some really prolific people out there. I’m not
But, that’s okay. This blog isn’t meant to be prolific, only to be interesting to me.
Guess what I did tonight? Yep, that’s right, I was at the “Northern Voice” kick off party! And, holy… There was some AMAZING talent [...]

My visit to Global TV, yesterday

Yesterday, as most of you know, I headed off to Global TV during lunch, to meet with the team there including the producer Fiona, (who called me to let me know I was chosen as a semi-finalist) Randene Neill (my favourite anchor for years now), and the fitness expert / trainer who would be overseeing [...]

Third Tuesday Vancouver, tonight!

I’m excited that Third Tuesday Vancouver is tonight! Tod and I had to cancel last month’s event due to the hazardous road conditions that day… It would have been our most-attended event yet at 107 RSVP’d. But, hey, weather happens!
Tonight’s event is going to be a very interesting one! Especially for those [...]

The stream of bad luck continues…

Let’s see… My weekend consisted of being sick with a bad cold, working for hours and hours on Saturday, missing out on a house party (Dammit! Sorry Miranda & Reilly & crew, I really wanted to be there on Saturday night) because the cold meds I took to relieve my misery only made me feel [...]

Great news!

GUESS WHAT??!
I’m a semi-finalist for Global TV’s Fitness Fantasy Challenge! It’s a contest that Global was promoting a few weeks ago during their morning news, and so I decided to enter (with a horrid full-body shot I took on a whim). Man, I’m so out of shape at the moment, I would love [...]

Which phone and data plan should I get?

I’ve got a dilemma — My Telus cell plan is *finally* out of it’s contract (well, it was 3 years as of yesterday). I’ve been unhappy with the mobile options Telus has provided for years now…
But now, I am not sure which route I should go with a new contract? Video calling does [...]

Thanks, Donna, for sharing this treasure with me, and us all…

Asking for it?

Guess what?
What, you didn’t guess?
I’ve decided to put a new profile up on two online dating sites. Can you believe it? Check out the profile above, if you like… Tell me what you think!
I can’t believe I’m resorting to the online dating sites, again. But, I have decided that [...]

Aww, c’mon!!!

Wow.
I’ve been having REALLY, REALLY great luck lately.
I had a fabulous weekend all planned out, as described below… And what happens? I get HIT BY A CAR on Friday night coming home from dinner. I was in the middle of the street, crossing at a legal crosswalk (albeit, unmarked — It was an [...]

Friday Silliness…

…Just in time for the weekend fun!
Vern sent it… And, I think it looks like him dancing, actually! Heheh!
What are you looking forward to, this weekend? Me? Tonight is the last Dine Out Vancouver night, at my favourite restaurant these days, O’Doul’s. Chris Whittacker, the chef there is truly talented (I’m [...]
