A girl with a rake

April 29, 2012

Earlier this month, when we were in Calgary, my mom said, “You don’t mind if I give these dishes to Allison, do you?” Now. Keep in mind, Allison is very, very cute. Not to mention, very, very clever, and if she had asked me if she could have them, I think I may have been [...]

The neighbour’s tulips

April 28, 2012

DARN. Every time this year I think, “Why didn’t I plant tulips last fall? CRAP!”. You’d think there was no such thing as a calendar or any such thing as, “planning ahead.” But this fall? I’m planting the tulips! I’m putting it in my google calendar immediately. I had a lovely restful day and have [...]

Graduation Day!

April 26, 2012

Four days in and it’s already graduation time! Cheerful time! Phew! We made it, time! I listened to some motivating speeches and clapped for all kinds of graduates, including some Traditional Chinese Medicine students. I also got bonked on the head with someone’s camera. Seriously? Yes, I did. Sheesh. RUDE. I should probably consider a [...]

I am enjoying exploring the old building I now work in. This old mailbox is very fancy.

Spring rain

April 24, 2012

I haven’t brought out the lensbaby in ages and thought today was a good day for it. It’s warm and rainy out these days. The plants love it and I’m so glad it’s soggy so I don’t have to mow the lawn. I can only put that chore off for so long. The dandelions have [...]

A busy hive of activity

April 23, 2012

This is the stairwell in the building of my new job. I work at 626 Pender Street in a 100 year old building. Apparently the heat is piped in to this building all the way from Canada Place under the buildings and the streets. There are lots of cool old things about this building – [...]

Guess what’s happening this weekend?

April 21, 2012

When I dropped off Mike this morning for work – he works across the street from the Vancouver Convention Centre – we spied The Joker sitting in a line up along with a guy dressed like Rorschach from Watchmen. How did I know who Rorschach was? I didn’t. Mike told me. Someone reads comic books [...]

“Thanks for all the paycheques.”

April 19, 2012

Our office had a tradition of cakes for every event – staff birthdays, the newest person in the office to have a baby, and the “good-bye” cake for the people moving on. This has everything to do with the fact our office is about 6 blocks away from Vancouver Community College where they have a [...]

PHEW!

April 18, 2012

I wore my Canucks jersey to work today, and so did a few other people in the city. Maybe it was just me, but there seemed to be a quiet hush over the WHOLE CITY. Could it be possible? All over hockey? I think it’s possible. I’m so glad they won tonight because tomorrow, the [...]

Someone left the hat out in the rain…

April 17, 2012

It was another rainy one today. Mind you, it smells like spring rain these days and the temperatures are much warmer. I found this abandoned fire hat on a neighbour’s lawn, glistening with water droplets.
