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 [...]

Things I love Thursday

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

A lot of people do these types of blog posts, right? Well I’m going to give it a shot. Today, I loved: Driving under an overpass on the highway on my way home from work this evening in pretty heavy rain. I love hearing the rhythm of the rain and seeing my windshield wipers chase [...]

My wisdom on what to eat after wisdom teeth extraction

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

My friend Catherine twittered this little bit of nostalgia to me the other day: “@wavingtoanimals At least the pizza hasn’t been in a blender ;)”, which is now prompting me to share some of my experience on what to eat after oral surgery. If you’ve ever had oral surgery or any type of procedure performed [...]

Tactile pleasures

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

I’ve always described myself as a very visual person. But this morning, while peeling a clementine, I realized that I’m really a tactile person. And really, how could I have been so in the dark about my tactile tendencies? I touch everything when I’m shopping. When I was a kid I used to drive my [...]

Back from the dead

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Oh hi, it’s so nice of me to join you. Seriously, though, hi, and yes, I’m still alive and well. I blame my prolonged blogging absence on: last few weeks at my old job/packing/moving/unpacking/getting settled in a new city/starting my new job/the holidays/still unpacking… and the list could go on and on. But I’m just [...]
