Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
If I could only eat one cuisine for the rest of my life, it would be Mexican. I love Mexican food. Hit with a serious craving on Sunday, we decided to whip up some tortillas since neither of us felt like walking to the store. Before I continue, let me just say, don't make this …
{An awesome background for my computer, found via Christiane Engel.} This has been a pretty great week! My sister and her fella made an impromptu visit to Vancouver. It was great to extend the vacation a little with her! I'm looking forward to a pretty low-key weekend with lots of relaxing and working on our …
This week is all about the new year! I usually embrace the tradition of new year's resolutions and this year is no different. Some years I'm successful at my resolutions and other years, not so much! I'm feeling ambitious this year so I've picked three big (ish) ones. They are: 1. Wake up at 7. …
This year we spent a pretty cozy New Years Eve at our friend Patrick's cabin. We counted down to the new year standing in the middle of a frozen slough with champagne sparkling wine at the ready. We ate great food, made ice cream, played Crokinole, skated and curled. (Well, I didn't curl due to an …
{An image from one of my "On My Way To ..." posts.} This has been a wonderful but very busy year! I'm really looking forward to this coming year. Though I'm a total resolution person, I haven't really worked them out as such, yet, but I do know that I want this year to be …
{The shortest day of the year has come, and more importantly, gone!} This week has been pretty great! There's something about the impending holidays that has me in a great mood despite all of the last minute things that need to get done. We'll be in the motherland for ten days or so and I'm …
{Living room.} It's been three weeks since we moved into our new place but it's taken a while to unpack! We've been very busy this month (who hasn't!) but in the last few days I feel like we've made real progress with the apartment. The walls are still lacking a lot of, well, anything but …
{Pumpkin pancakes from the Screen Door in Portland.} Now that moving has happened and my trip to Portland is sadly behind me, I feel like I can finally get into the Christmas spirit! This weekend will be filled with friends, a little family, some baking and one of my favourite new traditions: Christmas movies at …
{Food carts!} As I mentioned, I went down to Portland for a few days to visit with a group of girlfriends who hadn't all been in the same room in many, many years. We had a wonderful time: eating, laughing, shopping and generally enjoying each other and the city. I'm dying to go back to …
{or photos from a moving train} ... Portland, Oregon. On Saturday, Jenn and I hopped on a train to join a reunion of sorts, with Abbie, Caitlin and Laura, friends from the motherland, who are now spread out across the continent. I loved the train! It was so much more calm than flying and Jenn …
