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 …
small joys.*
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. …

spaghetti squash. yum.
I've only recently realized that I love, love spaghetti squash. Not like I love avocados, but is it possible to love anything else that much? On Tuesday night while Nick was out I decided to made spaghetti squash with, wait for it, spaghetti! (Not THAT exciting, I know.) Because the only thing better than long …
sunset.

indoor clothesline.
Ever since seeing an article on Apartment Therapy I've been wanting an overhead clothes drying rack but it's pretty pricey and the store that sells them seems to be non-existant now (I would post the original article but I can't find it).
