Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
These posts are from a blog I wrote from 2009 to 2012 called lady business.
1. This 'Egg McMuffin.' Far superior than anything Ronald ever made. Avocado, alfalfa sprouts, cheese, mayo, egg, sausage. Mmmm. (Obviously this didn't end quite as it should have.) 2. After a run to the grocery store this morning, I got back into my pajamas and don't intend to get out of them again until tomorrow morning. 3. My …
A few months ago I started a book club with a group of girlfriends. We had our first meeting a few weeks ago and I think it was pretty darn successful. We decided that a theme instead of a chosen book was the way to go and that the person hosting that month got to …
Last week as I was shivering out of the shower, Nick asked if I'd ever thought of doing a cleanse. I sort of had but not in a only-drink-water-with-weird-things-in-it kind of way. Turns out we were both feeling a little ... off, shall we say, and he was interested in cutting out a few things …
1. This apple tart almost lit our oven on fire, but it signifies that I may have pastry nailed. Yes. 2. Taxes, done! (And with not a bad refund.) 3. 'Fush and chups.' Made by my Kiwi neighbour and her brother and served in newspaper. 4. It snowed A LOT for Vancouver. As much as …
Inspired by my desire to blog more and a potential new freelancing job, I figured I should sort out my little corner of our office. Ta-da! Some day soon I will get to framing my newly acquired copy of Life magazine from 1971 detailing the 'woman problem.' For now a protester on the cover with …
1. It's sunny! Big news. Since it's mid-February in Vancouver which is usually pretty bleak. 2. Daffodils. Nick brought these home on Valentine's Day which he has renamed 'one-week until Spring Day.' I like it (except, oops, the spring equinox isn't until March. Oh well, a little season jumping never hurt anyone). 3. Clean sheet …
I've been finding myself reluctant to post on my blog because of the fairly restrictive criteria I placed on what I was going to write about. So, a new direction ... anything goes: I just want to have a creative outlet! I've also been really inspired by a couple blogs by people I've never even …
It's good to remember the little pleasures in life, when the world seems all nutty. It's also good to remember my Grandma Joy, who would have been 88 the day I got inspired to start photographing small joys. Joy with my grandpa Harry in 1989, in their harvest gold kitchen.
I thought that, considering my last post, I should write about the doula course I took three weeks ago. I was a wee bit skeptical but mostly excited about the experience. I was a little bit worried that it would be full of patchouli wearing earth mothers but it turned out to be exactly what …
I've been thinking a lot over the last few months about my future and myself. I had a slightly rough autumn. I had to have another surgery this fall as a result of my cycling accident in October 2009. I built this second surgery up in my mind because the first one was so awful. …
