Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
These posts are from a blog I wrote from 2009 to 2012 called lady business.
{Last Saturday, N and I took a super long walk. We had great coffee and had a lovely afternoon!} The weeks really seem to be flying by lately. I find myself with no freelance projects to work on this weekend so I'm really excited for a relaxing weekend with nothing in the back of my …
I recently finished The Lotus Eaters by Tatjana Soli. It was a really good, if heavy read. I didn't find myself relating to the main character (which was weird since she's a photographer and a reluctant feminist) but the story was really compelling. The main character, Helen, is one of very few female photo journalists …
For any of those readers on the East Coast looking for something to do this March, may I suggest a fantastic show at the Craig Gallery at Alderney Landing? Terri Whetstone, who just happens to be my aunt, is a super talented painter showing her work there from March 1 to 25. The show opens …
{Finally put some art up in the bathroom. I didn't even know we had this little gem!} The last two weeks have been super busy but great! I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend with a little bit of work thrown in. We're thinking of trying a new coffee shop on Saturday and on Sunday …
{Or the disappointing outcome of the Pitt Meadows sexual assault case.} Like everyone else, I couldn't help but be horrified when I read about the gang rape of a 16-year-old girl at a party in Pitt Meadows last year. The case was especially horrific because photos and video of the assault were circulated on Facebook. …
Recently I've been pondering spring. Blogging. Website design. Avocados with salt and pepper. Love. My inability, lately, to finish a book. Aubergine nail polish. And instants of perfection. There was one this morning: sun and a wonderful accidental playlist (this one is an oldie but a goodie), coupled with the news that two people who …
Since it's been such a busy week, I didn't get to my usual Friday post. I do want to say, have a wonderful weekend, though! I'm looking forward to a drink with girls tonight, lots of cozy time at home while it rains and toast with jam. And ... What I wish my desk looked …
You may have noticed an entry in my blogroll for the last year called bentlily. Well, bentlily is a blog started by my super-talented boss, Sam, to help her be more present during her first year of motherhood. Now that 2011 has ended, it has turned into something that she wants to continue. And so, …
{Photo via Flickr user Xipe Totec39.} I mentioned at the beginning of January that I wasn't going to drink that month. Well, six weeks later, I thought I would let you know how it went. I decided to quit because late last year I read a couple of articles that encouraged me to try not …
{Delicious, simple breakfast at Nelson the Seagull.} This has been a busy, busy week! I'm learning all kinds of new things at work and have lots to do in the evenings too. We have no plans this weekend so I'm very much looking forward to slowing down and sleeping in. {Snow drops!} {Cute little flowers …
