I don’t usually give a post a title until I finished writing the post but I’m doing it the other way around this time, just to see if it’ll help me focus on what I’m planning to say. Which I’m not really sure what but I guess it’s going to be something about thrifting. We…… Continue reading Something About Thrifting

My Grandma Diana
When I go thrifting, I am really drawn to Things That Could’ve Belonged to Someone’s Grandma™. You see, the only grandmother I ever knew died when I was 3 years old. She was my grandma from my mother’s side. Her name was Diana. I only got to know her through the stories my mother told…… Continue reading My Grandma Diana
On Exaggeration
“Most of life is so dull that there is nothing to be said about it, and the books and talks that would describe it as interesting are obliged to exaggerate, in the hope of justifying their own existence.” –E.M. Forster I came across the above quote a couple of days ago. Not sure what I…… Continue reading On Exaggeration
Dan Mangan
We’ve been listening to a lot of Dan Mangan lately. His latest album “Nice, Nice, Very Nice” was released last year but we didn’t find out how good it is until recently. My first introduction to Dan Mangan was through a song called “Robots” which we practically listened to all summer. Troy and I like…… Continue reading Dan Mangan
The Blurry Years
This past weekend I started manually re-posting blog entries from 2002 to 2004 that have been stuck on static pages for years into the current database system. Blog entries from 2004 — well, at least the ones with no dead links — are now in the system. I already started re-posting entries from 2003 but…… Continue reading The Blurry Years
Some Random Thoughts
As soon as I wake up in the morning, I almost always have a really random thought pop into my head and I could never figure out what brought that on. (Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so random, would it?) This morning, my random thought was about a Canadian TV show we never watched called Da…… Continue reading Some Random Thoughts
Pretty Pictures
Just wanted to share more pictures from our walk at the local natural area this past Sunday. I hope you like the way I see! 🙂
The Natural Area
Yesterday we went to a natural area in town that we’d never been to even though we’d lived in this town for over two years. The trail in this natural area pretty much goes around the town. Google Maps told us to start at this one particular point which turned out to be some crescent…… Continue reading The Natural Area
Summer Update
Once again, the poor blog has become a victim of blogger abandonment. It’s a good thing that a blog is not a pet. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have been allowed to have another blog, by law. Rest assured that this is not the only abandoned blog of mine. Oh no, Siree! It’s just the only…… Continue reading Summer Update
The Epic Saga of Something In My Left Eye
Remember when I was freaking out because I thought I was going blind? Well, after a couple of tests, it looks like I’m not going blind just yet. The field of vision test showed my peripheral/side vision on both of my eyes was fine, meaning my glaucoma hasn’t gone out of control. But the glaucoma…… Continue reading The Epic Saga of Something In My Left Eye
