... if there is such a thing.

I'm home! It has been a whirlwind few weeks. My time in Ottawa was lovely, then thanksgiving weekend with Geoff's family was also lovely, then the three days I had at home were not long enough to get everything done that I needed to, and then the week in Punta Cana was especially amazingly lovely. (I only have a couple ( Read more... )

Has it really only been two weeks since I've posted here? Feels like a lot longer. I guess that is an eternity in internet terms.

Today is back to school for many. And it's not for me, for the first time in what, 20 years? I though it would feel weird, but it really doesn't. I have so much else taking up my time. Give me a few months, then I might ( Read more... )

Dance is over for another year. Well, sort of. I think I'm performing in a multicultural fair next weekend, and there's the Cambridge Highland Games which I am maybe competing in (choreography only), and definitely helping to run. But mainly it's over until September ( Read more... )

Back home from spending the weekend with Geoff's family. As always, it was a lovely visit. (I did indeed make the lemon bars to bring with us, which turned into quite the saga, so I'll post about that tomorrow ( Read more... )

It's after 5, so now it's officially the long weekend! I'm so excited. Geoff and I are heading up to his parents' where I plan on spending a lot of time doing very little except alternate between lounging in the sun and jumping in the pool. Good food, good drinks, and good company are a given ( Read more... )

1. Happy Mother's Day to all Moms!

2. I made chocolate spice cupcakes last night. I've made this recipe so many times, but it still kind of boggles me how good and how easy it is. So I thought I'd share!

Hello again!

Posting real quick because I have to leave soon to go catsit, but thought I'd take a minute to post a couple pictures. I finished up my term work last Sunday and since then I have watched a couple movies, read a lot, puzzled even more, made one new cookie recipe and one tested-and-true one, visited the zoo, slept a LOT, played some ( Read more... )

No post yesterday. It was another one of those head-down-and-mark-all-day days. Having far too many of those lately. Tomorrow I get another whackload of assignments to mark, too... oh well. Only three more weeks of marking ( Read more... )

Happy new year, everyone! I hope the new year brings you all much happiness and joy ( Read more... )

I meant to post this on the exact anniversary, but, well, time slipped by without me noticing. So about a week late, but... it's (roughly) a year since we adopted our kitty boy. This calls for some kitty picspam. (And actually I have several great shots of him that I haven't posted, so I might do a weekly kitty pic post for a few weeks).

Asparagus, ( Read more... )
