Wrapped

November 30, 2010

As NaBloPoMo wraps up tonight, I am calling it a success — I only missed posting 5 days out of the 30. Yay! So, what’s the verdict, do you like reading more posts or was my haphazard posting good enough? I suspect I will slip back into the irregular posting soon enough; I have a busy month [...]

The Coolest Job

November 29, 2010
The Coolest Job

Apparently, several friends think I have “the coolest job” — this, I discovered after posting this status update to Facebook this morning: this week, work is all about anarchy — specifically a collection of anarchist publications and ephemera held by UVic Special Collections I have switched gears a lot in the past 10 workdays covering: [...]

Sell sell sell!

November 28, 2010
Sell sell sell!

Spurred in part by Friday’s basement shuffle and in part by our decision to replace the chairs in the living room with a love seat, we decided it was time to let go of some of the clutter. Yesterday, I spent a big portion of the day photographing and listing stuff we want to sell [...]

Shift in space

Shift in space

Once again, I found myself looking around at piles of stuff. Stuff I don’t need. Stuff I just keep shuffling from one area to another. But I will have to deal with the stacks of crap later. Tonight I was determined to find enough space to set up my serger which has been sitting in [...]

I hate mice.

November 25, 2010
I hate mice.

I can handle spiders, snakes, insects and most creepy-crawlies, but you throw a small, uncaged rodent in my path and I am likely to scream and run faster than I ever did in gym class. When I was living on my own, shortly before I met Mike, I discovered to my horror that there were [...]

Workity-Work-Work

Workity-Work-Work

I’ve been sitting here tonight trying to figure out why I am so exhausted — I yawned through my afternoon meeting and grabbed a quick nap when I got home, but it really wasn’t sufficient. I think it might be because I actually got really excited and “into” work this morning. (Yes, really!) We’re starting [...]

Music Moment

November 23, 2010
Music Moment

I picked up this CD at the Lovecraft Birthday Celebration in August where I saw Jeff Andrew perform. I tucked the CD in my bag and took it to work where it lingered on my desk until today. I needed something to focus my brain while I worked. It was a chilly, grey morning and [...]

Of Blizzards Past

November 22, 2010
Of Blizzards Past

OK, really just one, and it wasn’t exactly a blizzard as much as a record-breaking dump of snow. The winter of 1996 was remembered for one thing, snow that totally shut down the city for several days. Mike and I were living in a crappy suite in a house on Ormond St., just behind Central [...]

Weather’s coming.

November 22, 2010
Weather’s coming.

The title to this post is a reference to an annoying Tim Horton’s ad from a few years back in which an employee looks out the window an announces, “Weather’s coming,” before she gets a bunch of drinks ready for all the folks who will stream in on cue. Thing is, as any child can [...]

Kiddo’s First Craft Fair

November 20, 2010
Kiddo’s First Craft Fair

I shared my table today with Kiddo and her Rainbow Cat Creations — specifically her yarn dolls and bookmarks. She was a retail star; she grasped the 6′ rule without my prompting, greeting anyone that even so much as cast a sideways glance at the table, and gleefully announced our special offer (a free bookmark [...]
