As I’ve mentioned before, I started running in the summer of 2010 and am currently training for my first half marathon. In the last year, I’ve run (chipped-time) a 12 k, a 10 k, and a 5 k race/fun run, in that order. Obviously I did things a little backward. Running has been hard and … Continue reading

It’s time to start the music, It’s time to light the lights…
I love the Muppets and can’t wait to see the new Muppet movie, which opened yesterday. I loved watching re-runs of The Muppet Show growing up, and I loved Kermit the Frog. To this day, my mom says Kermit’s Rainbow Connection still reminds her of me because I sang it so much. In the weeks … Continue reading
Project management, team building & April Fools’
April Fools’ Day is an excellent chance to participate in some fun team building activities. When I worked in Sault Ste. Marie we took this opportunity on more than one occasion (and not always on April 1). Here’s why it’s such a great team building activity: Each person must be able to work effectively as … Continue reading
Learning to Run
The other day Kristen asked me if I have updated my blog lately. “No…” I replied sheepishly. “You know I do check sometimes,” she said. The last time I posted we were in the midst of Canada Reads. Unfortunately, I still haven’t had a chance to listen to the rest of the Canada Reads debates … Continue reading
Not on Ticket to Ride but still fabulous
So the destination for my bachelorette ended up not being anywhere on the Ticket to Ride board. My friends took me to (drum roll please) Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! It was amazing and I feel so lucky to have such great friends! I will update more on it soon.
Where am I going?
My friends and I have a tradition where we take the bride on a surprise trip for her bachelorette. The bride knows when it is and for how long, but other than that she has no details (where, what to pack, what they’ll be doing etc). It’s a really nice tradition, a great way to … Continue reading
Are we there yet?
My friend Kristen is preparing to go to Australia for a month and she is so excited. I love Australia and would return in a heartbeat. In preparation for her trip I’ve been giving her tips and hints on what to do, where to stay and just general knowledge that will come in handy (what … Continue reading
Unforgettable flash mob wedding proposal!
After a long hiatus I’m back and blogging again! So where have I been? Well a lot has happened in the last 7 months. I’m engaged and have been busy planning my wedding (long distance, I live in Sault Se. Marie and the wedding is 25 minutes north of Toronto). I have a pet that … Continue reading
Puppies!
Olive and Hugo had their puppies on Sunday! Four of them! Three girls, one boy. Everybody was very excited. They’re 2.5 ounces each and one of them is 3 ounces. They’re about the size of an iPod nano or a nailpolish bottle. They could fit into my pocket. Olive is a very good mother. She … Continue reading
The Wooden Sky and Elliott Brood
On Sunday Marla and I went to LopLops where we saw The Wooden Sky and Elliott Brood perform. They were amazing! I love live music and both bands exuded performance, talent and good music, things that are extremely important, especially for someone like me who wasn’t as familiar with their music. I came away from … Continue reading
