For the past few weeks my husband and I have been working on some home renovations and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m mostly useless. Not entirely useless, but pretty close. I’m the equivalent of an eager kid who wants to help but generally just gets in the way. Except for, you know, theContinue reading “Mostly Useless”

Happy Blog-iversary!
Greetings everyone. It is my very first blog-iversary, which is like an anniversary, only embarrassing. Telling people you have a blog is like telling people you’re starting a podcast, only worse. Blogs reached the end of their heyday a solid decade ago, whereas podcasts may have a fully overstaturated market, but at least are stillContinue reading “Happy Blog-iversary!”
Ten Things I Hate About Self-Imposed Deadlines
1. They always arrive. Rude. 2. I can’t get mad at anyone because I made them. I did it to myself. 3. Past me always vastly overestimates my work ethic and scheduling abilities. 4. I’m not as worried about disappointing myself as I am about disappointing others. 5. Probably because I’m not particularly hard onContinue reading “Ten Things I Hate About Self-Imposed Deadlines”
Attempted Bunnicide
Or, How I Got Bitten A Lot By A Neighbourhood Cat About a month ago we bought an outdoor rabbit hutch. Yes, I have a rabbit. I don’t mention him often because he’s not very interesting. Widget (that’s his name) is eight years old. Yeah, remember that when your kid asks for one. Also theyContinue reading “Attempted Bunnicide”
Small Businesses and Side Hustle
If I’ve learned anything during the apocalypse, it’s that it’s a great time to take stock and re-evaluate, you know, everything. For example, I’ve come to realize that supporting local small businesses is really important to me. As friends and family will attest, I get very… passionate when I talk about the plague that isContinue reading “Small Businesses and Side Hustle”
Seed Update – Part II
We are fast approaching spring, so I decided it was once again time to update you on my precious plant babies. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read this and this.) Yes, I know that according to the calendar we are technically already in spring and I’m sure for a lot of you,Continue reading “Seed Update – Part II”
Seasons of Candy
Easter is officially behind us, taking with it my favourite candy season of the year. I know some of you may have thought Halloween would be my favourite, but you’d be wrong. It’s Easter. Still more of you may have been thinking “candy season? What the heck is that?” and we, sir, are just tooContinue reading “Seasons of Candy”
Full Slug
The amount of inactivity I’ve experienced during this pandemic has been… intense. To be perfectly honest, I’ve gone full slug. After a few brief attempts at home workouts in the beginning – in which I discovered that I don’t enjoy cardio of any kind and having my muscles burn and go wobbly does not fillContinue reading “Full Slug”
Birthday Extravaganza
It’s March, aka the month of my birth! Oh yes my friends, I am one of those lunatics who loves celebrating their birthday. And I’m very good at it. Let me show you what I mean (and feel free to take note of anything for yourself, wink wink nudge nudge). The celebrations generally being aContinue reading “Birthday Extravaganza”
I’m Jealous of Geek Culture
No one who knows me well tends to describe me as ‘normal’. (I talk about murder a lot, okay?) I’m quirky, dark, definitely a little weird, and probably not who you want to invite to a dinner party if you’re trying to impress someone. (Unless that someone is looking to debate the merits of theContinue reading “I’m Jealous of Geek Culture”
