I already wrote about where this piece of furniture came from, but after two years of having it, it finally got the makeover that we’d been planning and it deserved. It started out looking like this, straight from the side of the road. One of the speaker covers was ripped, and it was painted a [...]

I have recently volunteered to develop a website for an upcoming event called “Mudder’s Day”* being held here in Halifax. I attended a spoonholder’s meeting last week (thanks to Ambera for babysitting!) and when I told them that I’d like to set up a table to sell baby slings I felt immediately guilty because I [...]

Well, today marks the beginning of Week 24! I’m basically six months pregnant. Only 16 weeks to go. That’s 112 days, according to my ticker: That means, it’s almost time to officially start freaking the hell out. He’s almost ripe for the pickin’!

I recently purchased a new domain, diaryofaloser.com for my friend Jen who I’ve been friends with for years and have only met once. She took my ex and I to eat very delicious veggie burgers, on a trip up a mountian so I could see the Pacific for the first time and then allowed us [...]

Today I’m announcing the presence of my blog on my main website- it’s the first time I’ve combined my blogging habits with my professional life. Hopefully I can keep people entertained. To celebrate, I’ve set up an account with NotifyList.com, so if you’re interested in getting an email from me when I update, please enter [...]
