I need to write. I have so MUCH to write. And I have even sat down, fingers paused above the keys, but my conscience kicks in and tells me to do homework instead. I am currently curled up in bed, eyes ready to close, but I'm hoping if I make at least a brief post it will hold me accountable for returning and writing more.
Life is glorious. I have a ( Read more... ) -

I was downtown yesterday for supper with some people and stopped in at the drug store before making my way home, because I needed to buy tampons. I grabbed my usual box and walked up to the counter to pay. While waiting for my payment to be processed, I debated asking for a bag to put the box in, as I didn't have a purse with me that would fit them ( Read more... ) -
Excitement!
I'm headed over to Vancouver tomorrow to see Coldplay, and lucked out that City & Colour is opening for them for their second show in Van. I haven't seen either band before and adore both. Ok adore isn't a strong enough word for Coldplay. I LOVE them. So much that while reading a review of tonight's show I started almost hyperventilating. SO. ( Read more... ) -

I just updated my 29 in 2012 list a bit. I have decided that rather than just keeping count of books/recipes tried, I will semi-document them, too. I may even eventually update the recipe portion of it with links to the recipes used [and whether it was good or not ( Read more... ) -
A glimpse into my daily life through someone else's eyes
One of my goals for this year is to write more openly about living with rheumatoid arthritis. So far I haven't done much of that and it's partly due to the fact that my trusty macbook died a few weeks ago. Sadness all around, indeed ( Read more... ) -
29 in 2012
Alright. Here is my 29 in 2012 list. Let's do this.
1. Go to the Farmer's Market in the summer to buy fresh produce, rather than the grocery store.
2. Read two books a month (on average) (6/24)

29 in 2012
I'm going to do the [insert your age] in 2012 challenge, which for me means 29. Holy crap. To quote my mum in her email to me on my birthday morning earlier this month, "I can't believe you're 29!". Nor can I, Mum, nor can I. I still haven't quite figured out how I feel about it. I want to make it a great year though ( Read more... ) -

Of course because I try and do the "smart" thing and fill a few months worth of a prescription before my benefits end, I am now being "randomly" audited for this particular claim by my insurance provider. I can't see how they can deny me [though the pharmacist did warn me they may only pay 100 days at a time, which is fine - I'll pay the portion ( Read more... ) -

How do you sum up one of the most amazing experiences of your life?
You can't. But you can sure as hell try.
[I'm getting teary already, oh geez. BRING ON THE KLEENEX.]
When Jason suggested last summer that I be his hero for the Caymans Marathon with the Arthritis Society’s Joints in Motion team, I was honoured. So then when he stated I should come ( Read more... ) -

I came across this quote last week while reading an article about the new Muppets movie [seriously, I cannot stress how fantastic this film was!] and I thought it was just delightful:
Kermit the Frog on his co-stars: "An awful lot of the guys aren't that good at what they do. I like to sing but, let's face it, I'm no Frank Sinatra. Miss Piggy is ( Read more... )
