Pregnant and jobless: the New Brunswick dream

Thursday, April 5th, 2012

So long time no blog. Seriously, geez! I think my efforts to spend less time online have resulted in me becoming a totally stereotypical blogger who starts off every post by saying “Sorry it’s been so long!”. Or I think maybe I just don’t have enough of an attention span to commit to blogging. I’m [...]

Twenty eleven

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

First of all, happy new year! May it be filled with that which your heart desires (maybe happiness and health isn’t really your thing, and who am I to shove those wishes down your throat?) Before I amaze you all with my incredibly deep and earth-shattering resolutions for 2011, let’s check in on how I [...]

Things I love Thursday: Matryoshka dolls

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

I enjoy a lot of really simple things in life. Russian nesting dolls are one of them. There is just something about uncovering a super tiny doll only to find out that it just keeps on going – there’s and even tinier one inside of it! – that brings incredible joy to my heart. I [...]

Do you know how I know that you’re getting old?

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Ok, so I know that age is relative. I’m not that old; but I’m also not getting any younger. The basis for this post came to me on Sunday night, at my friend Kim‘s beautiful wedding reception. I was hanging around with my friends Émilie and Mathieu, taking a little break from the dance floor, [...]

Honeymoon on hiatus

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

For those of you that didn’t know, Chris and I has our sights set on a Mediterranean Europe honeymoon in August. We were looking at flying in and out of Rome, taking a short cruise around the Mediterranean Sea to Greece, Turkey, Croatia, etc. and then spending the rest of our time along the Italian [...]

Things I love Thursday #2

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Ottawa. I love it – it’s a wonderful city. I’m in Ottawa for the week for work. I don’t miss the city that much on a day-to-day basis when I’m in Fredericton, but when I’m here, I miss all the little silly things that I loved so much about living here. Hartman’s, Bridgehead, sketchos on [...]

Twenty ten

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Instead of recapping 2009 or being super elitist and letting you all know how morally superior I am because [these super obscure and indie bands] put out my favourite 10 albums of 2009, I’ll let you know what my 2010 resolutions are! Behold, in no particular order: – get more sleep (8 hours-ish a night) [...]

A year ago

Monday, December 14th, 2009

A year today I was sitting in Rachel’s apartment’s kitchen in Fredericton (eating a donair, might I add) with Chris and his dad, reeling in from a long day of driving a car and a U-Haul packed to the brim with all of our earthly belongings from Ottawa to Fredericton. A year ago tomorrow morning [...]

Fall knitting frenzy

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

I don’t know what’s gotten into me lately, but all I want to do is knit. I love to knit, but have been pretty off-and-on at it in the last few years. All that’s changed in the last few months! I am now a MACHINE! Now, for some showing off: Clockwise from top left: Pretty [...]

Support our troops, bring them home

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

That pretty much sums up my views when it comes to Canada’s military. I support them, but I don’t approve of what our country’s making them do. Tomorrow is Remembrance Day. Armistice. I’ll be perfectly honest in saying that while I’ve always been thankful to veterans and our military, I’ve never paid too much attention [...]
