Last night we attended an April Babies bash. What a fantastic time we had! Hat's off to the BBQ Master for grilling the flank steaks perfectly, and the chicken skewers were scrumptious and juicy. Someone made delightful little cream puff pastries and I managed to wolf down about 4 of them. ...
Long Weekend
I love long weekends because it means I get to spend extra time with my hubby. We ended up driving to Buffalo on Friday because Nelson had to pick up some stuff he had ordered. The items were shipped to a warehouse just across the border. What a brilliant business! The ...
My first run of 2010
What a glorious day! The sun was shining and it wasn't too hot at 10:30 this morning so I decided to go for a run. I was a little bit hesitant because you never know what to expect after a winter of inactivity, but I managed to complete the loop without stopping and ...
The girolle in action!

I hope it will be a stress-free vacation because I've booked us into an apartment instead of an all-inclusive ...
Starting out
I know, I should have built my own WordPress template, but for now, I'm just going to use something downloaded. I recently finished school and am fixing up little bugs in my portfolio. I'm excited to start working again! When I first left my job, I thought being a woman of leisure would be ...
