Vote!
Amidst all the media hullabaloo about the US presidential primaries, I’ve seen very little discussion of another important vote coming up in Canada.
On March 17th, four federal ridings will be holding by-elections. Four out of the 308 seats in the House of Commons may not seem like a lot, but when you consider how small [...]

The Happiness Project
Emily and I met in preschool. As far as we both remember, and our families tell us, we were buddies then too. The summer before Grade 7, I was in my mum’s office at the school, and she introduced me to “a new girl in your class, who you went to preschool with!” Em and [...]

The truth, revealed!
Okay, here’s the truth about my Take a Guess post! Most of you were spot on in the upper 190s, low 200s. I’ve been fluctuating between 196-202 since this time last year.
One thing I found really interesting is that the guesses that were wrong were off by 15-30lbs, down in the 170s. I hadn’t expected [...]

Be a BABE
I heard recently about a group of students at Kwantlen, a local college, who are trying to convince city council to impose a $0.15 tax on plastic bags in grocery stores. So far, they’ve not had much success, but I think they have a great effort going. They’re calling their campaign “Bring a Bag Everywhere” [...]

C’mon folks…
Okay, at least 18 people have looked at my Take a Guess post… and yet there are NO guesses!
It takes two seconds to comment, and there will be no judgment from me about your guesses! I’m just curious, after all.
So – get your butts down to yesterday’s post and GUESS!

Take a Guess!
Okay folks I want to try a little experiment. I *think* I’ve removed all easily found, obvious references to my weight from the blog.
Now I want you to guess!
I want to do this, and see your responses, because I have no idea what I look like. The person I see in the mirror, in my [...]

One more thing…
And in a sign that we’re becoming domestic and old, the aforementioned IKEA purchases were Adam’s and my anniversary/Valentine’s presents to each other. I bought us bedside tables, and he bought us bookshelves.
As we were standing in line to check out, Adam leaned over to me and goes “wow, I guess we’re really grownups now, [...]

Domestic bliss
We spent far too much time and money at IKEA this weekend, and I couldn’t be happier about it. We went in on Saturday to pick up a new pillow for me and some tupperware, and to check out the desk chairs for Adam. We left with the pillow and tupperware, as well as a [...]
