no running till tomorrow

I found out that one of my favourite stores was having a 50% off sale so after work, I drove all the way down just to try on these boots which were 1 size too big for me. I was ready to spend some hard earned cash (this whole week dealt with some rebellious rascals…

tantrum

Yesterday, after witnessing my cat go through her straining, I went to get more raw Emu. I have been taking the easy way out by feeding her Wellness canned food. I tried to get her back on raw pheasant but I ended up throwing out 80% of it. I returned the last 5 frozen packs…

diva cup

I'm really making up for all those days I didn't post anything. Earlier, I mentioned how much my sister bought on her trip to Europe and then here, in North America. And she says she doesn't shop as much as me.... During her stay, I introduced her to the Diva Cup and Lunapads. Right before…

vacation break: sights (part 2 of 2)

We stayed at Union Square and because my sister's 2 large suitcases, we opted for Lori's Shuttle which is $17 per person with the return trip being $15. Otherwise, I would have gone for BART which would have cost about $16.50 R/T (and $6.10 for my mom)! After checking in, we took the taxi to…

vacation break: packing and purchases (1 of 2 with photos)

I needed a break after a month-long visit from my sister. Somehow, I ended up being the official driver for the family and I hate driving during summer. My preferred mode of summer transport is a bike or public transit. Of course, my mom scheduled outings up to the day before our short vacation so…

The staff outside were no help. We were told that a) they didn't know anything or b) it's one line that gets divided into two - 1 line for package pickup and 1 line to get into the store. It was only about 1.5 hours of waiting later when we neared the entrance that we…

blobby

Had to drag myself out of bed this morning for an appointment which got delayed. It dragged on for 2 hours and I didn't have breakfast. My sister is still jet-lagged but she hasn't been doing anything to fix that by keeping crazy hours. So instead of going to Granville Island as my mom had…

blob

Since my sister's been in town and alright, after the volunteer shifts at the folk festival, my sleep habits have been off. I've been going to bed at around 1 or 2 am and waking at up 11 am or noon. Today, I woke up at 930am because I had an appointment but that's been…

Folk Fest

For the last 3 days, I've been volunteering at the Folk Festival. For the 1st two days, I biked but since tonight's shift extended to closing, I decided to drive. So although my shift started at 7pm, I had to go earlier to get a parking spot within walking distance. The day before, my shift…

Subaru Triathlon

Over the summer, I like to volunteer. So far, I've done the Coastal Jazz, Folk Festival, Illuminares and today, the Subaru Triathlon. I don't listen to folk music but by far, the folk fest is the most organized. The Coastal Jazz has its ups and downs depending on who's in charge. I found that the…
