Ya, lame title, so shoot me. Autumn is still my second true love these days, so I took a few photos to remember it by when it starts to pour rain, which it probably will, any day now. I think this fall is trying to make up for our lackluster summer. Lately, it's been bright …
happy hallowe’en.

{I discovered real oatmeal this week. So much better than the quick stuff. With a little bit of butter and brown sugar, it's like dessert for breakfast, but way better for you!} This week been a lovely one. After several busy weeks, things have finally slowed down and I've stopped feeling like I'm running around …
hot toddy.
I've been feeling like I'm fighting off a cold lately. In my family being sick (or almost sick) means one thing: hot toddies! (Sans whiskey, when we were kids, obviously.) According to my nana, a hot toddy will cure all that ails you: I have to agree! You'll need: 1 oz. whiskey, bourbon or rum …

{Delicious french toast from La Brasserie last weekend.} The last several weeks have felt crazy busy. I don't know if it's the season or what but I need some down time! I'm looking forward to a bit of time at home this weekend, especially tonight, and a belated Oktoberfest party that I'm super excited about! …
capilano suspension bridge.
This past weekend, Nick's parents wanted to visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The Bridge is a pretty well-known Vancouver tourist attraction and I had been to it on a high school band trip more than ten (eek!) years ago. I didn't remember it well and was a little bit skeptical about the whole thing, since …
a couple years ago.
{This is actually my left wrist, the worse of the two. The radiologist labelled it wrong.} Today marks two years since I broke both of my arms falling off my bike on the way to work. I wanted to do something to celebrate last year but I ended up having the last of three surgeries …
on my way to …
... my house. I snapped these while Nick and I walked back from returning a co-op car this weekend. It was a perfect fall day, crisp but sunny, perfect for taking photos.
occupy vancouver.
I didn't attend Occupy Vancouver this weekend but I did catch part of it. (Nick's parents were here this weekend and we were downtown for a bit on Saturday.) I have to say that I agree with the sentiments of the Occupy Wall Street movement. I think that the gap between the rich and the …

{Thanksgiving dinner.} It's been a busy two weeks! We had a wonderful time in Whistler and have been enjoying having Nick's folks here this week. Our kitchen sink isn't functional right now, which is a bit frustrating, but that's when you have to look even harder for small joys. {Brownies that Nick made on a …
