Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
Posts from my past careers!
1. Crocuses are coming out in force which can only mean one thing: spring is right around the corner. 2. My friend Caitlin has been staying with us to decide if she wants to move to Vancouver. We haven't seen a ton of each other since our epic Alaskan adventure in 2008 so it's been …
Though I've expanded my blog repertoire I do want to go back to my roots for a moment. I read an article in the Globe and Mail today that turned my stomach. A woman was raped and the guy who did it got a ridiculously lenient sentence (the ol' two years less a day, but …
As I've mentioned before, I'm not really a morning person. About once a week, I spring from bed at an alarmingly late hour and rush out the door with a travel mug full of coffee. This inevitably ends in my running into a coffee shop on the way to the bus to grab something for …
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 …
