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 [...]

I had a ton of fun this weekend!
In no particular order, I…
– ate a lovely dinner at Water Street Cafe
– enjoyed a beer at the Cambie for the first time ever (who knew it was so much fun?)
– was kissed
– had Shaw cable come in with a brand new, free, DVR (yay for free stuff!)
– [...]

After close to 12 years, I can *finally* close a chapter of my life.
In early 1997, I was involved in a significant car accident. The injuries from that accident left me fairly disabled for over 3 years, but with a lot of hard work, and surgery, I regained all of my mobility.
The legal wrangling [...]

Stan Smyl was out with Buzz Bishop yesterday for “Raise a Reader” Day, and Buzz took that opportunity to have a hockey great pull the prize out of the proverbial hat!
And… Drum roll please… Laura won! Congratulations Laura S. of “Sparkly to Single” fame! I hope you have a super awesome time at [...]

I got an email at 4pm today from VacationsToGo.com — Something I’d subscribed to a long time ago and forgotten about — Telling me that they’ve got a cruise coming up to the Caribbean for singles, and there were a few spaces left.
So, of course, I immediately got myself into my boss’s office and asked [...]

Week one of NutriSystem finishes tomorrow, technically — Although, I did start the afternoon of last Tuesday. We’ll call it tomorrow.
I weighed myself 3 days in, just to see if I’d see any movement on the scale (I wasn’t thinking I would, since it was the morning after I’d cheated with a couple of [...]

I have had several people email me saying that they can’t comment here. But, I’ve tried several browsers and I can’t replicate any issue.
Can I ask you, dear reader, to try commenting? If you have an issue, please email me? That would be very kind of ya…
Shanks!

Wow, I haven’t been that frustrated in a while. Thanks to all of you that reached out and gave me a hug, even if only virtually.
I guess we all have those days… Mine just happened to be Saturday morning.
By Sunday morning, though, I was back to normal, sharing breakfast with friends on Main. [...]

Don’t you just hate it when you wake up feeling annoyed? That’s me, today.
Stupid little things that people around me have done (some really insignificant, but still add up) are driving me to complete frustration. It’s not really their fault — They don’t know that four other people in the course of a [...]

Woohoo! My first post that actually works on my iPhone WordPress application! (my old database was improperly configured…)
You may notice some minor, and possibly some significant changes around these here parts, in the coming days.
The first was done a few nights ago…
That was the migration of my site from Dreamhost (who was once [...]

It be TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY, mate! Yarrrr! It’ll be a pirate’s life for me… At least today!
Can you believe I was soooo tired last night after going non-stop for 2 weeks that I fell asleep while eating my dinner? I’m not kidding. I woke up with a [...]

To quote Buzz’s blog post from this morning…

Last night, I was one of 35 local bloggers invited to celebrate one of Canada’s oldest companies… Molson Brewery. In Canada for 222 years, and brewing in Vancouver for 50, we were invited down to enjoy some of their fine brew, and tour the facility… It was a fabulous night. I think BREW [...]

Holy. That’s a heck of a lot of food for one month. But, I suspect, that’s been most of my problem all along — I don’t eat enough, or regularly enough, and my metabolism slows to a crawl. Let’s hope this change in my routine is enough for me to lose those [...]

Lord knows, (okay, maybe not God, since I don’t exactly subscribe to a ‘deity’) I hate my hair.
And I just want to know, what did I do in a previous lifetime to be scorned SO much as to have curly hair in this particular life?
WHY?
It’s really annoying.
Okay, ya, boohoo Tanya… But, really. I’m struggling [...]

I need one.
Stat.
I totally love how life is going right now, but I desperately want to check out for a bit. This means, going away. Somewhere fun.
This is the only time that I find myself loathing singlehood. It costs so much more to travel solo — I was looking at cruises, and [...]

I don’t like to be teased. It annoys the crap out of me, actually.
And yet, some people in my life (ahem, you know who you are) really get a kick out of it. Seriously, what’s with that?
A little good-humored silliness every once in a while is fine, but some people (again, you know [...]

I’ve really ramped up my training for the half marathon, and thanks to Donna, I’ve found an awesome resource to help me stay motivated, and train effectively…
For those of you looking for a fun and easy way to get started running, try these Podcasts by Robert Ullreys: He followed a Couch to 5 KM [...]
