So today was all about completing errands. Mostly mundane though necessary ones: picking up mail, mailing parcels, grocery shopping, picking up a cheque (yay!), picking up my new agenda book (thanks to the GSA), checking the mail (campus), taking out the garbage and the recycling, etc. And this would have taken a lot less time… Continue reading Errands and health… food and back to school

Most people who know me, know that I'm pretty darn rule bound at times. Yes, I'm working on the issues inherent in that statement. Yes, I'm improving. I'm not perfect. That said, sometimes a meeting or gathering can USE some rules and regs. In fact, sometimes I finish attending a meeting or event wondering if… Continue reading On the influence of rules and regs…

… so seeing as I don't have plans to go anywhere really distant until I finish my degrees (I probably won't finish until after one trip to Indianapolis in January, but besides that), now is a time when I guess I can talk about my travel hopes (that don't include conferences/conventions/and all that jazz… though… Continue reading Places I'd like to travel to…

… and I still haven't finished my degrees. *sighs* This really is my own doing. I've been in a funk when it comes to school work since at least January and I'll admit it now, it's hard to get motivated to do anything about it. It's easier to just focus on other areas of my… Continue reading And it's September again…

Oftentimes, Kiwanians ask me why more CKI alumni don't join Kiwanis after being in CKI. And I have a myriad of answers for them: – they may not be settled yet in a city or in a career and don't feel they have the time or ability to contribute properly to a traditional club –… Continue reading Kiwanis Awkwardness… (a rant of sorts and a whole lot of suggestions)

… in an entry level part-time job, even if it's only for a few shifts a week, is that in the Alberta economy, folks often aren't terribly reliable at said entry level part-time job (in other news, we're hiring! If you need a job my workplace is definitely having a job fair on Saturday looking… Continue reading So, one of the hazards of working…

So last night's board game pizza party was a rousing success! We had 5 pizzas and 2 DQ dessert pizzas make their appearance (though only small amounts remain thanks to people bringing essentially the right amounts of food!). Everyone, including those with dietary restrictions/limitations/requirements (whatever) seemed to get enough food, so that made me happy.… Continue reading Pizza, pizza, and more pizza!

So yesterday, thanks to The Flog, I downloaded Pocket Planes for my iPod and have been playing that whenever the internet is taking a while to load a particular site or something. Today I'm wearing my TARDIS skirt! And I'm hosting a board games pizza party! And I got my redditgifts AwesomeSocks gift that I… Continue reading I'm totally nerdy and I like it!

So I've gotten into the habit over the years of burning the candle at both ends so to speak, and well, my body does not handle this as well as it once did (darn aging/etc.!). So lately, given that my 'free'ish time has been in the mid afternoon, usually accompanied by things to do and… Continue reading (Re-)learning how to nap well…

I went on three separate occasions, which was pretty cool: I almost overdid it the first day but all in all it was a good time. It reminded me of how much I love live theatre (the Citadel season does not begin until September after all), and really, the nature of the Edmonton Fringe Theatre… Continue reading Actually being at the Fringe this year was great!
