Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
1. This delicious dinner from last night that Nick made. Salmon rolls and pho-style soup with udon noodles and prawns. An awesome accompaniment to Anthony Bourdain's Medium Raw, which I am currently reading. 2. I finally got a haircut yesterday, something I had been meaning to do for weeks. 3. We got given tickets to …
It has been a long week, friends. Mostly due to frustrating construction in our bathroom and wrapping up one of our bigger books at work. After some congratulatory wine (for finishing the book) at The Whip, with work mates and Nick, we headed home early. I think because of our crazy week, we were both …
The bank (um, exciting)! On Wednesday, we Vancouverites got a welcome respite from the ridiculous rain we've been having this spring. (Seriously, does anyone else thing this has been a particularly wet spring? I mean, I know it's Vancouver, but this is just silly.) I was game to go anywhere on a lunch time walk …
I've really been feeling the need to get out the vacuum, scrub brushes and cloths the last few weeks. I'm a border-line clean freak (some people I know would remove the border-line part) but something about the tradition of spring cleaning that really gets me going. This spring I haven't had quite as much motivation …
1. I bought this ampersand on a trip to Seattle in February from Anthropologie. This week it got moved to a perch on our headboard. I love the metal with the lamp against the blue wall. Free interior design fix? Awesome. 2. As part of my new season resolution to pay a bit more attention …
I'll admit it. I'm one of those people that loves making New Year's resolutions. I had great success last year with my resolution to start saving more money. This year though it's a different story. My two this year were: 1. Complete the Sun Run. (A 10K.) 2. Get up at 7 or 7:30 am …
Stanley Park! On Saturday we took a long bike ride around Stanley Park. I thought that I had seen Stanley Park but realized on a jaunt to the Vancouver Aquarium last weekend (another place I'd never been after three years of living here ... for shame) that I really hadn't seen it in all it's …
1. The cherry trees are in bloom everywhere. 2. A long Saturday bike ride with Nick that finished with a Granville Island Winter Ale and fish and chips across from this sculpture (called A-maze-ing Laughter). It is part of the Vancouver Biennale and is on Denman at Davie. Made me want to go see them all. …
{My parents dancing the night away at our friends' wedding in August 2008.} My mom and dad have been married for 27 years today. Go parents! Congratulations!
I took this photo along with Tuesday's batch but Sesame Street's 'One of These Things is Not Like the Others' got stuck in my head while I was looking at it. So, for a Thursday instead.
