Friday night, I bartended the Big Rock Eddies. Thus, I learned more than I ever planned on learning about Big Rock's selection of beers (and one cider!) without imbibing a drop (you know I don't drink right?). Great fun and such crazy outfits — ballgowns and blue jeans and everything in between. A lot of… Continue reading I can bartend, and adventure… on a weekend with friends

The concert is at 8pm and provided I get the tickets couriered to me in time, I've won two tickets. I would love to have some great company! 🙂 Apparently I'm getting good at winning things again! Anyway, send me a message or reply or shoot me an email and we'll arrange to go together.… Continue reading I just keep winning! Who wants to join me to see City and Colour at the Jubilee on the 28th?

Apparently doing a ridiculous amount of physical activity is rather uh… soreness inducing. In other news, running a children's tour at work is intensely amusing. The squeals when in the freezer or in the cage or when seeing the lobster or the crabs or the flowers… are all worth hearing. Totally cute! RATT Karaoke was… Continue reading So sore…

… even if VERY FEW people attend a particular poetry reading (like for example, the one I attended last night, where only somewhere between 4 and 6 of us were not the readers themselves), hearing GREAT poetry is very much worth it. And I must be getting exercise these days seeing as I walked to… Continue reading Tix to Disney booked… oh and poetry readings rock… especially the ridiculously intimate ones…

Following a relatively lazy Sunday, it only makes sense that Victoria Day was spent with David and Jason walking. And I don't just mean a little jaunt like the 75ish blocks from Friday. No, HIKING across SNOWDRIFTS down hills, on paths of rock and pavement, across roads and bridges, to the zoo and… YES that… Continue reading Another day off spent online (as I recover from walking walking and more walking (talking).

adverbs? uh… yeah… so we played a game of verbs and adverbs which resulted in crazy laughter… which was followed by YouTube craziness (ROBOT CHICKEN! etc.) But really yesterday was a rather rad day (did I just write rad? Why yes I did!) At the end of my work shift yesterday I ran into Matthew… Continue reading Excellent meetings and greetings… and celebrations and verbs and…

So I finally finished reading the Chronicles of Prydain. Great stuff although incredibly predictable. It didn't help of course that my prof had essentially spoiled the ending while we were studying Taran Wanderer. The short stories in The Foundling and Other Tales of Prydain were too short and too simple for my liking… the five… Continue reading Chronicles of Prydain and other adventures…

So now that I'm pretty much healed from my week of being sick (I'm DEFINITELY not a fan of illness), I've been able to get out and indulge in a few of the activities that make life awesome — especially in springtime! 🙂 For example, I attended not one but TWO book launches on Thursday!… Continue reading Spring Pampering… and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to ALL Moms out there… especially MINE! 🙂

Yes, indeedy. And it was on 15% Tuesday — not the optimal day to call in sick of course. It's the day of the month that the store MOST needs the help, to be truthful. But I needed to call in — I was feverish (the fever broke I think sometime around 8pm or so)…… Continue reading After 7 years… I finally call in sick for work

… 15% Tuesday Prelude Pampering. Honestly, what did you think I was going to type? After the fun of the weekend? (Well when I wasn't dwelling on my crazed dreams [Nicholas what on earth were you doing in my dreams anyway?? please tell me how you got there!] or coughing, or feeling sore and achy,… Continue reading Sick with a cold, blech, but happy to have re-watched Benny & Joon and had my monthly…
