I wasn’t back in the states more than 20 minutes before I was asking myself why I left in the first place. Oh yeah, fell in love with a boy. Man, I sure do love it here. I haven’t even travelled across the bridge to Seattle proper yet. Been spending most of my time in [...]

Wow. The blog has been silent awhile, hasn’t it. I’m leaving for Wa tomorrow. Not as expected. I’m going to be traveling down without Wil. There has been a death in my family, and it’s important that I go and be with the people who need me right now. Death in the family is one [...]

I have a confession to make. I’ve avoided talking about it because, oh I don’t know, SHAME. And the hope that it would all just magically go away. I’ve gained a lot of weight in the past year. Summer of 2008 I was the skinniest I had been since Jr. High. But by summer of [...]

To my Canadian friends and family. Thanksgiving feels different here. I mean, yes, it’s earlier, which feels off. It seems that most of the people I know have their Thanksgiving dinner at any point this weekend. Now, this is just my observation, and may not be correct, but I feel like it may not be [...]

Airdrie asked me to guest host with her on her health and beauty podcast Lipgloss and Laptops. For the first 143 episodes, L&L was hosted by Airdrie and her best friend Kerry Anne. Recently, Kerry Anne left the podcast to focus on graduate school. So Airdrie has been recruiting guest hosts. When she first asked [...]

I’m just all about joining the blogging games now. I don’t think I’ve mentioned this, but several months ago, Pru quit using the litter box. She will pee on a puppy pee pad. And, when we are lucky, she poops there as well. My cat is toothless and voids her bowels wherever she wants. It’s [...]

My first book review is up at Satan’s Bookclub. I’ve reviewed Frank Portman’s YA novel Andromeda Klein, a book I thoroughly enjoyed. But that’s not what Satan’s Bookclub is about, is it? It’s more important to recognize how potentially evil a book is, rather than the quality of story and writing. You becha! Bit rusty [...]

Dear Canada, Thank you so much for finally expressing an interest in me. I guarantee you will not regret. I can be very very polite. You’ll see. Ok, so I don’t care that much for hockey, neither does my Canadian husband. You should not hold that against me. I look forward to working with you, [...]

I just got a call from a nice lady in the immigration offices in Alberta. We’ll call her Jane. Because for some reason, I don’t want to use her real name. She had some questions that Wil and I need to clear up for her, by writing a short paragraph of explaination and faxing it [...]
