(Sometimes ya just gotta lay down a cheesy rhyme. The title of this post fills my quota for a while.) Six (or seven-ish) weeks ago, I started the Couch to 5K running program. C25K is an interval training program designed to take people from couch potatoes (or at least people in poor shape) and turn … Continue reading »
My mug collection is made up of a wide variety of mismatched receptacles. They were all either given to me as gifts, purchased as souvenirs, or inherited from my mom’s house when she passed away over four years ago. This particular one is the smallest of my “coffee” mugs, and not necessarily the most attractive. … Continue reading »
(Disclaimer: This post is unlike any other I have ever written. Bear with me–it’s worth it.) Have you heard of Dave Bidini? I hadn’t before last week. Shame on me for not discovering him before. Or on whomever knew about him and didn’t tell me. Dave and the BidiniBand are performing at the Bayfield Town … Continue reading »
55 days plus a 3-day weekend ago, I embarked on a bit of an extreme diet journey. Extreme from the perspective of most of us who have gotten used to relying on refined carbohydrates and artificial sweeteners and the convenience of processed and fast foods.

Oh, and PS, I got an honourable mention for contributor of the year, two years in a row. I’ll … Continue reading »
Reblogged from ScrambledMeg: Selfish is such a dirty word. We are taught, as young girls, that SELFISH is something you should definitely not be. And then we grow up. We give ourselves to school. We give ourselves to our friends. We give ourselves to our boyfriends. We give ourselves to our husbands. OK, occasionally, we … Continue reading »
No, I’m not done writing my papers, but I love the Locality series too much to let it drop during finals season. Besides, The Ruralist doesn’t need much introduction or explanation. The Ruralist was envisioned by my friends Erin Roy and Erin Samuell (no, not every cool person in my area is my friend, but … Continue reading »
…ahhh a book and a coffee and some relaxing. I’m not sure when this will happen for me, but sometimes it’s good to allow yourself to dream. Right?
There’s always something that gets me through the two most stressful times of year for a student. Last term, it was Pinterest, Diana Gabaldon‘s Outlander series on audio book, and the Conquist game for iPhone. This spring, it’s the discovery of the joy of Tumblr, Twilight on audio book, and DrawSomething for iPhone. I also … Continue reading »
