Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
I believe I have mentioned before that I love avocados. Love probably isn't a strong enough word. I actually didn't know how much I loved them until I tried guacamole made by my friend Laura, two years ago. (The sunny weather on the back balcony and the cool beer didn't hurt, either.) After professing my …
{Found at A Cup of Jo, via stay fancy free.} I just saw this on A Cup of Jo. Great advice! The first one is an especially good remind for me. It reinforces the great feeling I had this morning when I woke up without an alarm before 7:30! Great way to start the week!
1. My parents had a short layover in Vancouver on their way to Hawaii. Just long enough for a pint and a catch up. It was so great to see them, but I must admit, it made me miss them more! Can't wait to see them again at the end of next month. 2. Bought …
{Photo ripped off of my aunt's Facebook page, because it's rad.} Today is the birthday of one of my favourite people. My Auntie Terri! Terri is a painter who lives in Blandford, Nova Scotia. She's a kindred-spirit, even if she'll always be waaaaaay cooler than me! She taught me to sing 'Born to Be Wild' at …
Another magnolia, not quite opened, in white and covered in rain drops, this time. Here's another one ... I can't help myself.
1. This delicious dinner from last night that Nick made. Salmon rolls and pho-style soup with udon noodles and prawns. An awesome accompaniment to Anthony Bourdain's Medium Raw, which I am currently reading. 2. I finally got a haircut yesterday, something I had been meaning to do for weeks. 3. We got given tickets to …
It has been a long week, friends. Mostly due to frustrating construction in our bathroom and wrapping up one of our bigger books at work. After some congratulatory wine (for finishing the book) at The Whip, with work mates and Nick, we headed home early. I think because of our crazy week, we were both …
The bank (um, exciting)! On Wednesday, we Vancouverites got a welcome respite from the ridiculous rain we've been having this spring. (Seriously, does anyone else thing this has been a particularly wet spring? I mean, I know it's Vancouver, but this is just silly.) I was game to go anywhere on a lunch time walk …
I've really been feeling the need to get out the vacuum, scrub brushes and cloths the last few weeks. I'm a border-line clean freak (some people I know would remove the border-line part) but something about the tradition of spring cleaning that really gets me going. This spring I haven't had quite as much motivation …
1. I bought this ampersand on a trip to Seattle in February from Anthropologie. This week it got moved to a perch on our headboard. I love the metal with the lamp against the blue wall. Free interior design fix? Awesome. 2. As part of my new season resolution to pay a bit more attention …
