Chasing Waterfalls

Y’know, I always said that I loved food, but hated cooking. But somewhere along the way, I gradually got accustomed to the chore, and then progressed to where I am now, where there are times when I actually thoroughly enjoy it. When the hell did that happen???
It feels like I did an insane amount of […]

Today was a pretty low-key day. Last night, we watched Rob Zombie’s remake of “Halloween”, which really freaked me out. It’s as though I’m reverting to my childhood years insofar as I fight the urge to shut scary movies off. I was never really big into the “Halloween” movies, so this one was interesting as […]

Neal’s on the night shift tonight and only had to go in at 4pm, but since he’s the BEST.FIANCE.EVER, he drove me in to work this morning before coming back home and heading back to bed.
On the way in, we were listening to C100, one of the Halifax radio stations, when the breakfast djs started […]

I’m really kinda sad that Heath Ledger died. He was a really great actor and he had so much potential. I had a little crush on him after I saw him in “10 Things I Hate About You” back when he was first getting into Hollywood. And he did an amazing job in “Brokeback […]

Although it’s true that we Canadians have our fair share of crazy weather, we still can be surprised from time to time.
For the past two years, our winters have been a joke, really. A few good storms and that was it. We saw grass for most of the season. Foolishly, I started to […]

I am very happy that tomorrow is Friday, and I had a shorter week.
Neal was on a very short sailing trip last week, just from Tuesday until Friday. On Thursday night, I had a call from his mom and dad with very sad news: Neal’s grandfather (on his father’s side) had passed away. Earlier this […]

I took the car for an oil change after work today. The guy told me that it would be about 45 minutes, which was fine since I was in Canadian Tire, which meant that I could browse around a bit and kill some time.
Of course, the danger of that is the temptation to buy […]

Before Christmas, when I was asking people for blog entry ideas, a couple of people asked that I write about the wedding planning that had taken place thus far. At the time, nothing really was on the go. Even though we had a very quiet Christmas compared to other years, there still seemed to be […]

I should forewarn some of you. I’m about to write about IBS - if you know anything about IBS, you’ll know that it typically involves either or both constipation and diarrhea. Although I have no intention of getting into significant detail or description, these symptoms will be mentioned. So, if you’re really sensitive to that, […]

I am ready for this cold to go away. Neal started coming down with it on the Wednesday before Christmas - though he, thank god, has kicked it to the curb - and I started coming down with it on Christmas Eve. It started off with a sore throat in the morning, and then progressively […]
