Parentals

I’ve had a whirlwind beginning to the new year with a whole bunch of new, exciting, and nerve wracking experiences happening almost everyday. My main concern has been Dad and whattheheck I was gong to do if ALS was confirmed. Thank God it wasn’t!  One thing I know is that I am in no way [...]

Overdue

Ahh, the much needed update post.  One day I’ll make myself get into a routine of posting, although I wasn’t doing too bad until 3 weeks ago.  Don’t have much of an excuse except that there’s been a lot on my mind that I couldn’t really put into words.  But let’s recap, shall we? My [...]

4 minutes

It’s Thursday ALREADY? Ok, not too sure where my week went…I guess time flies when you’re off saving the world (i.e. being completely submerged in my new book or cross-stitching while watching TV). Last weekend, my not-so-little brother came to visit.  He’s 2 years younger than me, but most people think he’s a couple years [...]

Summary – Mom Style

So, you’ve heard my version, and I promise this won’t be the only topic on my blog for the next 2 months.  But it would be a crime to humour to not put this up.  We had ask our parents to write support letters for my application for a work visa.  Obviously, I didn’t send this one in. Hilarity ensues [...]
