For as little as $25 towards my Team Diabetes half marathon, you can be included in the drawing for the $500 cash giveaway on December 1st! You get **two** entries for each $25 pledge increment (for eg: a $50 pledge will give you 4 entries)
So, don’t miss out… Support a fabulous cause (with a [...]

It’s official… My friends Lara and Anthony have far too much time on their hands…
When I came into work this morning, Lara had a grin on her face, and said she had a link that I had to see. Oh, and I needed to turn up the volume, too. Um.
It’s hysterical! Thanks [...]

So, this chick is doing “speed dating” tonight… Now, I’ve just got to get my head around it, and put myself in a better frame of mind about dating.
Because… Drum roll please: You guessed it. I had another gong-show date a few weeks ago.
Get this: I’d been speaking with a guy [...]

Color me shocked.
I emailed Rogers Magazine Service last night, with a number of issues that I’d experienced over the past year with three magazines that I’d ordered from them a year ago. One of the magazines, “Marketing Magazine” was an extremely expensive subscription (almost $100 for a year), and I only received 4 copies [...]

John Chow is at it again! He’s holding a new contest to give away $6,000 in CASH! $5,000 would go to the charity of your choice and $1,000 will go to you to spend however you want. If I win, I would give the $5K to Team Diabetes, and $1,000 would go towards my [...]

I’m sure I’m not the only one… But man, it’d be really great to just be happy for a while. I was happy this time last week.
Instead, I had a really, really awful weekend. I’m sure it was stress-induced, but I had the worst migraine ever, yesterday. It lasted about 14 hours [...]

It’s been a bit of a sad week for me. I’ve been thinking about my Dad a lot… Wishing he was still here.
It was this time last year that I was on the cruise in the Mediterranean, when I found out on the first night that my Dad had passed away. You see, [...]

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 [...]

John Chow twittered a couple of hours ago, asking how much I needed to make my pledge goal of $4500 for Team Diabetes.

I thought… Maybe he’ll help me spread the word? That would be totally awesome if he did.
Because, quite frankly, I’ve been stressing about how to get to that last hurdle…
What did John [...]

What are you looking forward to, this weekend?
Me? Tonight is a quiet night at home, tomorrow I have a ton of running around to do that I’ve avoided all week, and tomorrow night, I’m having a few friends over for some Rock Band action. And, who knows, maybe I’ll set up my new [...]

I’ll re-purpose Buzz’s blog entry to spread the word for him…
World Diabetes Day is an action-oriented campaign in support of people affected by diabetes around the world. The campaign is inspired by issues of paramount importance to people with diabetes and their families.
Whatever you are doing on World Diabetes Day, take just a [...]

This will be the temperment of the dog I would get, should I decide to go ahead and get a dog…

Good god. The poor thing. Thanks Gill… I think I’m going to have nightmares tonight.
ps: Some great stories in the comments below… I love hearing about decisions/life changes — Let’s hear yours!

Let’s change things up a bit today… I know there’s a lot more people reading this blog than commenting (normal, of course) so I thought I’d pose a question to you, today. Let’s see if we can de-lurk some of the visitors, and entice some of the RSS viewers to come by and share, [...]

Holy crap did I mess up my diet this weekend. I was supposed to have been fully back to NutriSystem last week, but by Friday I was on a slippy slope downhill that turned into a full-blown landslide into eating oblivion… WTF is wrong with me?
I don’t even want to count the calories I [...]

After my engagement post from yesterday, I’m sure that title got your attention, hey?
Here’s the thing: I love being single (not enough to avoid dating, but I actually do enjoy being alone these days) but, I know I’d be out walking the neighbourhood much more with a companion… One that could keep me company [...]

Okay, does anyone else think that this is a ridiculous item for sale at Costco, or is it just me? This is Canada, people — Get out your hose and start spraying!
Then again, maybe Miss604 would like it for the alley behind her place! I know she loves hockey!

Now I’ve truly seen it [...]

Yep, you heard it here first.
My horoscope told me so. On November 27th.
Hmmm… Maybe I should add this little tidbit to my online dating profile? I kind of need a guy in my life, first.
I’m howling over here. What a crazy horoscope! Does yours predict anything as ridiculous as mine does?

If you’ve got any Actionscript / Flex skills… I want to talk to you! Our company is in the final stages of a project developed in Flex, and we need a contractor who can race to the finish line with us.
Please email me or drop a comment here if you are available to help [...]

…To get back into the swing of things. I’m at work today, and avoiding certain emails that I know hold a special kind of grief once I review them. Some things can just wait until tomorrow, when I’m settled in. Who needs a melt-down on the first day back, right?
That’s what I’m [...]

“Yes we can.”
Watching history unfold this evening was quite amazing.
I’m so delighted that America has stepped into a new time, with such an inspiring figure at the helm. I actually shed tears during Barack Obama’s speech, after his landslide victory, just now. That’s saying something.
Because, although I’m passionate about politics, it rarely moves [...]
