Ever had one of those days when you wished you hadn’t picked up the phone? I just did. I received some bad news, news I’d been expecting for about 6 months, but hoped wouldn’t come. There is a reason I call myself an optimistic pessimist. I hope for the best, but I always expect the worst, and over the past…

OK, I love this little application. Not only is it totally useful, but it’s free. If you come from the world of PC’s you know what it is to uninstall a program. Or should I say, you know what a pain it is to uninstall a program. You know the drill… “Should I use the uninstaller with the program, or…

I tried another batch of muffins today and screwed up when i was reading my scribbles and revisions…and in doing so, I think I actually nailed them! I had changed my recipe to half buttermilk and half sour cream…but I messed up and added too much buttermilk… so then I just tossed in a couple more tablespoons of flour to…

We decided last night to forgo the floors. Only because we can’t find anything we like more than what we have. None of the vinyl flooring is white enough to stand up to the glossy white of the cupboards and it ends up looking like what it is….plastic. I found a nice cork flooring, but it would add significant height…

About six years ago I decided I hated our bathroom faucet. That started a bit of a snowball effect and we ended up ripping out our carpet and putting in wood laminate floors, crown moulding, casing in the windows and closets. We painted the place full of colour. We put a sound system in the bedroom, bought a cool new…

I almost hate to think about it. I made a deal on a different Tacoma about two weeks ago, just before we went out of town for Thanksgiving. I was so pissed off at North Shore Toyota for their attitude, deceit, and generally sneaky and underhanded sales tactics. On the flip side…it drove me to another dealership downtown and we…

I have a cold. Just a cold. Not the plague. I am not Typhoid Mary. I am not spreading death and destruction with each cough. I do not have H1N1!!! And yet, with each bark I feel eyes upon me, measuring me. Recoiling in horror. I drove to Prince George last week. 800 km each way. By myself, feeling like…

I live with three monsters, four if you include Kirk, I don’t though. I’m trying to get healthy, so I took a nap this afternoon, or at least I tried. Gizmo is in his cage systematically trying to reduce his ladder to sawdust. He’s getting there. I keep trying to give him other things to destroy but that only seems…

Some people find it easy to walk away, I don’t. And I’ve spent the past five years wondering how my friend could walk away from a 15 year bond. Hopefully today I was to find out why, and find out what had happened to him in the past year that resulted in a leave of absence from his academic position.…

Have you ever have one of those moments where you aren’t sure if you wish you could turn back time… but then you look around and think…maybe I already did…but how did those people get here then? I’m in Prince George right now, and it was a surreal evening. For 15 years of my life I lived and breathed fish…
