Thinking about Travel Lenses
After such a long delay what could possibly be so important that it prompts a post? Family disaster? Work insanity ( Read more... ) -
Yoga - new teacher, may challenge
tashar and austengirl asked how my search for a new yoga teacher is going. I mused about part of my dilemma in a comment on _ishtahar_'s real life blog a few weeks ago, but let's start from the beginning.
I've actually been attending my usual class with the new guy. It is just ok, but very tense. He always puts a cd on to "distract us from the gym sounds", and then proceeds ( Read more... ) -
The Great Post Eating App
It’s just dawned on me that my iPhone app has eaten 2 posts over the past week, so you guys are going to get a bit of a smorgasbord of what’s going on . . .
One was a post of gratefulness for a job that I don’t absolutely abhor - it is such a relief to have the kind of work where no one yells at you, the stress is limited in time and space and the ( Read more... ) -
Update on Woodward
So I've kept in touch with Mom mostly by text message over the course of the last week (holy cow, has it only been a week?! Feels like a lifetime), and things are progressing. Insurance adjustors arrived on Wednesday and were done by mid-Thursday afternoon. Stock is all re-ordered and so far the community itself is pulling together, at least that's ( Read more... ) -
It just doesn't stop
The good news is that the memorial service went really well. Everyone was on their best behaviour and I got to reconnect with some family members I've longed missed. I didn't get to go up and say good bye to the mountain, but I hold out hope that can be done on another trip.
The bad news is that a tornado has levelled parts of Woodward, including ( Read more... ) -
Fun Things
Right, so tomorrow morning we leave for my grandfather's funeral. I'm not expecting it to be much other than needless drama (did I mention his business is still tied to my mom's? oh yeah, and they still don't know what's happening with that yet - and that's just the start). Why don't we talk about something nice instead ( Read more... ) -

Love My Life
marimbanlr landed this morning and we are off to Paris tomorrow evening to celebrate his birthday. Because how better to celebrate your birthday than being in Paris? Heck, I just like being in Paris. Even better is getting to be in Paris with some of your favourite people! The ever fantastic ramy_fulaz and petite_chaton will be meeting us there too, so it kind of feels like a mini ( Read more... ) -
A small fangirl moment
Because. . .I've been interviewed on one of my favourite podcasts of all time - the Amateur Traveler! Squeee!!!! Yes, I'm on the show talking about our recent trip to Israel, so if you're done with hearing about it, skip it, but I'm super excited. I've been listening to this podcast for quite literally years now (all the way back to episode 70), so ( Read more... ) -
Spring?
The weather has finally gotten to the point where thinking about working in the garden doesn't fill me with dread. So I've been spending a little bit of time outside, keeping the early starting weeds at bay, tidying up some of the beds and generally just keeping an eye on things. As spring approaches, there is more and more to actually look at! My ( Read more... )
