Green Christmas Part 2

December 27, 2009

I’ve been trying to write this entry for DAYS and can’t seem to get my act together to actually finish it. I’ve come to the conclusion that trying to blog regularly over the holidays is kind of a lost cause (well, for me anyways). I’ve actually really enjoyed being “unplugged” from the online world the past few weeks.Lately, my days have been [...]

Green Christmas

December 24, 2009

When I looked at the date on my last entry I realized its already been a week that I have been on a “blog-cation”. I think this is the longest I’ve gone without updating since I started this blog in August. I started to feel a bit weird this afternoon: light headed, spacey, anxious and then I realized “I haven’t written anything [...]

The Important Wishes

December 15, 2009

Yesterday I walked downtown and spent the whole afternoon Christmas shopping. Not only did I come home with some cool gifts for everyone I love, but I also came home with the flu! I was standing in the middle of the Toronto Eaton Center (aka, Holiday Shopping Hell) when suddenly my whole body started to hurt and I felt like I was [...]

Dear Santa

December 15, 2009

Dear Santa, I know I’m probably too old to still be writing to you but I noticed some of the other big kids in blog-land have posted letters so I thought I would too (plus its a good excuse to make one of these fun collages!). Between writing exams, Christmas shopping, working like crazy, and dealing with family stuff–everyone is so busy [...]

Sex with the Ex

December 11, 2009

BF reads almost everything that I write and always offers great constructive criticism. He pushes me to write in my own voice, to write often to and to write well. A few weeks ago, right after I wrote this entry we were sitting around the kitchen table reading it over, while Sloan’s “The Other Man” played in the background. BF looks up at me [...]

Between work and the rapidly approaching holidays, I’m finding it hard to blog everyday (or even every second day).

Basically I’m going to answer [...]

Holiday Cards

December 7, 2009

Today is my day off. I had this big plan that I’d wake up early and spend the whole day writing and being productive. Neither happened. Last night was my company Christmas party. The party started off at Maro, then around 2am a few of us headed over to The Drake for more drinks before last call. There was talk of going [...]

SEX

December 4, 2009

When I randomly stumbled across this photo tonight I realized that I need to add something to “my before 30 list“: Read Madonna’s Sex book. I know this seems like a weird thing to add, but let me give you some background information. I was a HUGE Madonna fan as a kid & early teen. Anyone who knew me back then can [...]

I Left My Heart in Seattle

December 3, 2009

The rainy, drizzly weather we’ve been having this week has inspired me to write about something I noticed a few months ago: GRUNGE IS BACK. I realize this isn’t exactly ground breaking new information. If you’re like me and obsessively read fashion blogs when you should be doing other things (ie. updating your own blog) you have probably noticed that trends from [...]
