It's been awhile... Yes, I know. Some days it was because I was busy. Other days, we were out of town. Sometimes, it was because I just didn't feel like it. Quite a while ago I thought it was because of the format here on LJ and started a new blog. I started two actually, but never actually did anything with them. Then yesterday, I went back ( Read more... )

My beloved Canucks are playing their first playoff game tonight. Usually this time of the year, I wear a jersey, maybe my hat or hoodies and sweatshirts, but for well over 20 years, this has not worked. This year is our magical year. 40 year anniversary and top in the NHL, first time EVER ( Read more... )

Almost 3 months to the day after we got back from New Zealand and I have FINALLY got my act together. Going through well over 600 photos on my camera alone (not even adding up Jon's photos), I've finally got 311 photos put together on an album of sorts ( Read more... )

The sun has finally come back... But we all know it won't last that long. Showers are in the forecast for the weekend. However, the last few days, I've strolled slowly to and from work and taken time out during the day to run errands, just to be outside. Although, still cold, the sun makes you smile. It's finally feeling more like spring. ( Read more... )

I must admit that I've lost the love for Livejournal. It's been this way for a couple of years now. I opened up a Wordpress account a few years ago and put in a few months of archives, but then lost that love too. Earlier this year, I activated my blogger account and I think I'll probably end up there soon. So, soon, you too will not have to ( Read more... )

We've had crocuses popping up in our yard even before our freak February snow storm. They're all going strong now with lots of green leaves popping up. It won't be long before spring colour fully engulfs this garden city ( Read more... )

Here there and everywhere. I always say that I like to "multi-task". But that's more of a nice way of saying I get so easily distracted, that I'm working on a bazillion things at once. I start a bit of knitting here. Watch a load of episodes of the Wire there. (We're on the season with the school system and elections. So. Addictive.) And ( Read more... )

Last night at knitting, I kept saying things like, "Oh no. The snow won't stick". Or "Pffft. Snow? Here? Nah."

Then I wake up and walk to work in this:

So I'm only half way with going through and uploading my NZ photos. In fact, I haven't made a dent since my last post. Terrible. I know. But Jon is away for the evening on Saturday, so I have grand plans of uploading photos, doing some painting, and restoring that old spinning wheel. (So I can finally show you guys and actually give the girl a ( Read more... )

The funny thing about going on vacation is that you need a vacation after that. You get back, you re-adjust (needing to wake up when it's been pitch black out has been the hardest thing to get back to), catch up on work and poof! Weeks have gone by, Chinese New Year has come and gone and I've got some finished knits to show you! Where has the ( Read more... )
