As I begin to write this, the clock is indicating 11:37pm, it is counting down the minutes to when I am another year older. Today was the last three hundred and fifty sixth day of my being twenty seven. Tomorrow begins something old, something new…
I remember how I celebrated my last birthday. Friends and family gathered around the round chinese banquet table and we toasted our tea cups,...

SARAH!
IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY!
Well, at the time of writing, it’s not your birthday in Canada yet but that is a mere technicality that some tactical arson can’t sort out (because arson is the answer to all one’s crimes right?)
Perhaps at this point one looking in on this may say “Of course she…

Honey and lemons
I got to go to Trader Joe’s today on our way back from Seattle to Vancouver.. So awesome… We bought $2.49 bottles of wine to simmer with oranges and cinnamon sticks because I’d rather drink mulled wine than $9.99 crappy wine on its own. I’m now going to make Richie a hot honey lemon with because he’s sick and Trader Joe’s lemons and honey were so wonderfully...
Marriage
At 11:59pm I exclaimed excitement and after a whispered exchange of ‘Happy anniversary!’ we leaned in for a kiss and I pulled back saying ‘ewww’.
Some of his mucous from his runny nose transfered onto my nose.
This is married life.

If you want to be truly intimidating,
If you want to make an impact,
If you want to have strong connections with others
just be sincere.
Sarcasm is not an attitude, and it’s not a personality trait. It’s a style of rhetoric meant to be used occasionally to highlight a larger point. Saying…

a coat
Christmas and winter are coming soon and thus a coat and a gift will soon be needed…
I found my coat. The coat.
It is felt and has a bushy tail, and a hood, with ears..
they have a panda version, a dinosaur version (so tempting!) and other too adorable to be true warm winter coats..
So this is the kids version but the shop has it in an adult size too… Click the photo to go to...

I follow American politics via Steve Colbert and Jon Stewart

Lately there has been a new presidential contender by the name of Herman Cain aka the Black Walnut.. he’s ben saying some pretty outrageous stuff but so are the other politicians.. I recently stumbled upon this great tumblr dedicated to Mr. Cain’s version of Jesus. Do remember that Mr. Cain is an associate minister at a...
fables
So… is anyone watching “Once Upon A Time”?
I’ve been hoping a Fables-esque tv show would come about but instead a slightly cheesy, not as dark version of fairy tales merging with the real world has been made.
”Once Upon A Time” is okay… I think I much prefer Bill Willingham’s version of Snow White and the seven dwarves… I won’t spoil...
tv spoiler...
kono is back.
yay!

I heart thrift
The weather in Vancouver has been slowly but surely dropping in temperatures. The rain has been dropping too.
Last August we packed 2 bags each and tried to cram the most important bits of our life into those suitcases.
Vancouver is notorious for rain and I’m very happy that I went with my instincts and packed my beloved purple Hunter boots.. But I wish I packed long johns, thermal tops,...

I just held my breath whilst watching the Avengers trailer… then I watched it again and got tickles up my spine.
May 2012. Hurry up.
ONE FORTY PLUS: Steve. →
jhnmyr:
I wanted to share with you a memory of my friend Steve Jobs, a memory that in the days since his passing has come to represent how great of a guy he was, and how good he was to me.
I first met Steve in 2003, over the phone, when I cold-called him to tell him I was a devout fan of all things Apple…

This is really interesting… pick a colour, purchase it for as little as 1 quid, name it, it’s yours, you save a life…
It’s a new way of raising money. The colours are gorgeous.. it’s a pretty cool world we live in..

retreat
We’re going camping this weekend! Actually our friends are camping, we’re staying in a bunk bed log cabin because Richie is still a hongkie city boy at heart…
The whole college is being shipped off to Washington state and we’ll be among twilight-esque forests, bears, mountain streams and rabid racoons. Party.
Back Sunday night.
Alive?
Maybe.
