Cleaning, packing and Politics

Moving day draws closer.
I am…
cleaning
picking out paint colors
packing
sorting
recycling
ranting on my think blog.
sewing (curtains)
planning
informing people of my new address (and by the way, should anyone want my new address, please email me)
thinking
thankful
excited
tired.
…………..
I also went to Vancouver recently for a work conference.  It was… interesting to say the least.
But I can’t really talk about it.
What else is interesting?
Oh! [...]

I need to mix-Sundae Style

Yogurt by Jessica Ryan

All’s not so rosy on the Western Front

Good Morning!
I work in the same building that houses Victoria’s main newspaper, The Times Colonist. Because of this, I have access to a newspaper every morning (except Mondays and weekends), which I like to quickly read while I’m loading my systems for the day.
Along with my obsessive addiction to reading/watching international news every morning [...]

Happy Love Day!

I started this post yesterday but then subsequently had a melt down when using Andy’s net book to post it.  1
So Happy Love day! I hope you all told someone you care about how special they are to you.

The Sky Knows

Kiwis and Sunshine

Note: This [...]

Hello February!

I’ve got so much going on in my head right now.
I guess the biggest news that’s been taking up a significant amount of time recently is the decision  between my boyfriend and I to finally take that plunge and move in together.  
We’ve been together for just under 3 years and travelling back and forth on weekends, [...]

Now we’re banning Dictionaries in School?

I just came across this article from The Guardian, that talks about how certain schools in the Southern California area in the United States are banning dictionaries  because they have a definition for oral sex.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a little over the top?
If our children are smart enough to go [...]

Bits and bobs

I came across a super cute pin cushion pattern on Ravely the other day, but when I clicked to check out the pattern i came across this!  Unfortunately I can not read Danish!  Now, from looking at the pictures, I’m pretty sure I could puzzle it out, but i always like to be sure.  Then I had [...]
