I can’t be the only one that enjoys paying my bills, can I? It’s not a sentiment that I express out loud very often, because when I do I usually get the look. You know the one I’m talking about. When people look at you as if your forehead just sprouted a second pair of read more

Just your average blogging existential crisis
June 11, 2013 – 1:49 pm
That awkward moment when you want to write but have nothing to say. Is it still a “moment” when it stretches on for more than a week? Probably not, but still. That’s where I’ve been lately. I want to write. I want to blog so much. But when I sit down to make it happen? read more
Of fear and apps: A lazy runner’s guide to getting motivated
June 4, 2013 – 7:30 am
Even though I loved every run I managed to go on, I had to force myself out the door. As the weather got nicer and I saw more people running past my windows, I really started getting restless. I wanted to get out there but the motivation just wasn’t there. But then June rolled around…
Let’s talk about the cat in the closet
May 30, 2013 – 8:00 am
If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram then there’s a good chance that you’ve picked up on the fact that I’ve added a new member to my little family. Her name is Hastings, she’s 5-years old and she’s “Jasper’s” new cat.
Operation Motherland: Part 3 – Family, Gin, Ghosts and a Wedding

The only real good thing about your birthday falling in the middle of a week is that you end up with a pretty good excuse for stretching celebrations out to include one or both of the surrounding weekends. For reasons.
Younger than I thought I’d be
May 23, 2013 – 11:22 am
It’s my birthday today and I’m turning a whopping 28-years old. There’s something weird about the idea of being 28 that only really started to dawn on me this morning. Not that I’ve given much thought to the idea of myself turning 28, but the idea of being 28 in general has always seemed like read more
Operation Motherland: Part 2 – Of Desolate Highways and Many a Moose
May 16, 2013 – 11:05 am
To think, it was just over week ago now that my brother Tyler and I were waking up in a motel in Wawa, Ontario with a solid 13 hour day of driving behind us and one more 12 hour push before we made it home. It was also just over a week ago now that read more
Operation Motherland: Part 1 – Preparing for the Vehicular Pilgrimage
April 30, 2013 – 12:10 pm
Without using Google to help you, guess how far it is from Ottawa to Winnipeg. Guess. I’ll give you a second. Assuming you choose a route that stays in Canada, you’re looking at 2,174 km (1,351 miles for my American friends. That’s just to get to the next province over. Sheesh). That’s the distance I’m read more
All’s quiet on the blogging front…
April 15, 2013 – 2:30 pm
It’s been pretty quiet around here lately. Between double screens, long hours and to-do lists the length of my arm, there hasn’t been much time for blogging. But it’s all been coming down to this week, my friends. This, the last week of the semester. My students will be doing the big presentations and handing read more
That’s SO Chickadelic! (Psst! There’s a giveaway with this post!)

When my former PR professor, Kerry Ramsay, let people know that she would be taking a brief sabbatical from her program at Loyalist College, I knew she was up to something. She’s always up to something (good somethings; creative somethings). I wouldn’t have guessed that opening a store was going to be the something she read more
