Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
These posts are from a blog I wrote from 2009 to 2012 called lady business.
Huzzah! A blog post! I was not having a good week last week. I've been burning the candle at both ends and was feeling really, really run down. My sister, A, happened to call which was very exciting in and of itself, since she currently lives in Melbourne and the time difference makes it hard …
As you may have noticed, I have been an absentee blogger, as of late. Why, you may ask? I'm not sure that I can begin to answer that question, but it's due, in large part to the fact that I started my own business last October (right after finishing the web design program at BCIT) …
{A little Christmas cheer on the mantle.} I love this time of year. Though I know that the rain, grey and cold weather of January and February are right around the corner, October, November and December are really wonderful. The last several months have been some of the busiest of my life, and December will …
I love pumpkin pie. I start thinking about it in September and practically count down the days until Thanksgiving, so that I can eat as much of it as possible. I've made a pumpkin pie every Thanksgiving for the last several and none of them have been quite right. Well, Thanksgiving is more than a …
When this whole William Morris thing started, I read on Pancakes and French Fries that the best advice to take, when starting this project, was to start with a drawer. Well, that's exactly the advice I took when restarting this project, only it was a cupboard, not a drawer. This weekend, we're having a large …
{Part of cleaning house: laundry and an improvised door-jam clothesline.} It has been over six weeks since my last blog post. I'm not sure how this accidental hiatus came to be except that life has been unmanageably busy as of late. More than that, life has expanded in ways that left little room in my …
My motivation to do any type of William Morris activities the last couple of weeks has been pretty low. Between school, work, a cold (during the summer?) and all the other things that make up life, I haven't been up to much. Today, however, we decided to get outside and weed the garden and clean …
Recently I've been pondering hot versus cold. Soccer refs and American gun control. Love. Sisters. How lucky I am to have the friends that I have. And moments of sheer bliss. There was one this weekend: a hard hike, followed by a cold stream, good friends and a bit of generosity, that will make our …
{Picnic on Wednesday night at Kits Beach.} I was expecting this week to be just as busy as the last two but everything converged in a lovely way to give me a week of relative ease! I was done school early everyday which left plenty of time for bike rides around the seawall and lots …
{Addie being really helpful ...} As I mentioned last week, I was planning on going through my dresser for quite a while. I finally did it this week, mostly because I couldn't get most of the drawers closed anymore. Since I moved out of my parents' house almost ten years ago, I haven't had a …
