Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
Okay, Kate deep breaths. As you can tell by the fact that I used capital letters AND exclamation points in a title, I'm very excited right now! This morning I was perusing one of my favourite blogs, Young House Love, and thought that I'd comment on their super cute herb garden. I shared our balcony …
I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Nick and I are champion alley combers. (Before you say anything, yes, I know bedbugs are a problem in Vancouver but some times, you've got to risk it!) We will often dream about some particular item and sort of forget about it until, low and …
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we went on an awesome day trip to Gibsons this weekend, despite the overcast weather. It was an easy jaunt from Vancouver with delicious results. Matt, Shaz, Andrea, Peter, Nick and I daydreamed about starting a commune there on our walk from the ferry into town. Want to join …
1. On Saturday we went on a little day trip to Gibsons, the highlight being lunch at Smitty's Oyster House. We ate really excellent seafood and drank fantastic BC wine and were served by a hilariously rude (in a charming way) server. We were also subject to a fly by seagull bombing (read: the table was pooped …
{My dad and me in 1987.} My dad is very special. He's loyal and warm and a salt-of-the-earth kind of guy. He just is who he is. He's one of the people I most look up to and admire. I'm so lucky to have a dad like him! Happy father's day, Dad! (And to Harry …
{Vancouver from the Burrard Bridge, 2009.} Well, I've been a seriously sub par blogger this week! In my defense, it's been a very busy week with lots of freelance work on top of my 9 to 5 job, not that I'm complaining! Freelance work is always a good thing. There was also hockey to watch …
{Freesia and peonies make for a really good smelling bouquet!} Last night I was feeling ever so slightly sorry for myself because I had a lot of freelance work to do after my day job. To make it feel a little less like a long, long work day, I bought myself some flowers and listened …
{N's dad's wedding band from when N's parents were married which I wear everyday.} Sometimes it's nice to look around and remember how lucky I am. I really like my little life in Vancouver and I love looking around our apartment to be reminded of people, places and events in my life. I once heard …
1. Patrick, who is one of my favourite people in the universe, is visiting from Montreal. It's almost like he never moved away. His visit resulted in a weekend full of food and friends. 2. This cake, which is possibly the best cake I've ever had, was part of a 'cabin' reunion dinner last night …
{Gramps during what I'd guess is World War II.} Yesterday I received a package of family photos (from my mom's side) that I had volunteered to scan so that everyone can have copies. It is what I do for a living so I'd love to put together a little book through iPhoto or something for …
