**** Originally posted May16th 2008( while I was 9 months pregnant),but after yesterdays excursion out, it clearly needs to be said again.
Sun!!! Glorious, glorious sun!
What more could one ask for than to have a long weekend, AND gorgeous weather? Wait….. here’s a thought! How about some anti-perspirant?
A funny thing happened on the way to a meeting yesterday.
I’m sitting [...]

Bits and Bites – Wednesday April 1st, 2009

And so it begins again…..and  this morning, I’m thanking whoever was watching over me last night on my run.
I suspect – but dearly hope I am wrong- that we have entered yet another round of violence in the ghetto.
Not more than 1/2 an hour after I returned home from a run on the very same street and [...]

End of the week round-up and answers to your frequently asked questions

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions and requests for updates, and rather than email everyone individually, I thought that perhaps once every couple of weeks I will compose a blog strictly to address those queries, names and details withheld. So, without delay, here are the answers to this weeks Frequently Asked Questions.
1) What happened to [...]

Sir, this is an intervention… ( or, How to prevent a man-gina)

That’s it, I’ve had enough.
If you’ve been with me for a while, you will know that I rarely hesitate to go where angels fear to tread.
 But this? This is truly uncharted territory. This is a whole new ball game kids, but clearly somebody has to do it, so it may as well be me.

The first Bits and Bites of 2009

The first Bits and Bites of 2009 and so much to talk about, it was a little hard to decide where to begin. Without delay, lets start with…

The rude things people say and do.

 I’m not fond of shopping.I will never be a woman who shops for ‘fun’, and I’m not into retail therapy, unlike most women I know. I go because I need something,not to browse, or window shop, or just for fun. For me, it’s not fun. There are so many other things I’d rather be doing.  Sometimes [...]

Bits and Bites – The Early Edition – Tuesday November 4th

I have to shake things up abit this week, as I’m going to be out of commission for a couple days, hence the day early edition of Bits and Bites. I don’t know what the weather is like where you hail from, but it was stormy outside my bedroom window last night. I woke up at 2 am and was [...]

BC Liberals as transparent as a two-way mirror

They can see us, they know exactly what’s going on, but for everyone else looking in- nothing. Nada. Zilch. Transparency? Jeez, I can see through my old jogging t-shirt better than I can see what’s going on inside Campbell’s regime.
So, you are probably asking, what’s new about that? We all know that he runs a [...]

Bits and Bites Wednesday September 6th,2008

Wow, this Wednesday completely snuck up on me, because of the long weekend, and I nearly forgot all about Bits and Bites. So cool, though, because its only 2 days now until the next weekend, which I hear is going to be sunny and gorgeous.
First up, the comments and emails keep rolling in about Dave Gerry and Simi [...]

Bits and Bites- Wednesday August 27th, 2008
