Trip to Minden

By Em | Published: Monday, September 6, 2010
Earlier in the week, on Wednesday night to be exact, we headed up to Minden for the long weekend. An extra long long weekend. We left after work and made it up there around 10. Not bad, since it took us about an hour to get across town with the bullshit traffic on the westbound [...]

I’m a nominee!

By Em | Published: Sunday, August 1, 2010
Very exciting news this evening – I’ve been nominated for two 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards! In the Crafting and Health & Wellness categories! What’s even more exciting – I didn’t nominate myself, and I have no idea who did! This blog has never been nominated for anything before. As cliche as it sounds, it IS [...]

Kirby’s Epic Yarn

By Em | Published: Sunday, July 4, 2010
My brother and I played the hell out of Kirby’s Dreamland (for NES) when we were younger. Aside from the Mario games, it was one of our favourites. I liked it so much that A & I downloaded the old Kirby game to our Wii. With all this in mind, I’m super excited for Kirby’s [...]

I’ve got a wicked weekend in Montreal to blog about still, but I thought I’d pop in here right now to let you know the big news - Andrzej and I are engaged! Crazy, no? We’re both very happy about it. :) Like Unlike

The tulips are at their peak…?

By Em | Published: Sunday, May 2, 2010
I think the tulips have hit it, folks. We were there last week, and they were nice, but they are definitely better this weekend. Today was a gorgeous day, and I think we picked the best time to see them. We certainly weren’t the only ones! I highly recommend you head out and see them soon. They’re [...]

Heading to the Highlands

By Em | Published: Wednesday, March 31, 2010
I’m excited. I’m finally going home for a short holiday. Both Andrzej & I have the time off, and we actually have the car this time (unlike that bullshit at Christmas) and we’re pretty much ready to blast off tomorrow after work. Kiki will be all by her lonesome for 2 nights, but I’m sure [...]

Most boring post ever

By Em | Published: Sunday, March 14, 2010
Today was tax day. The weather here was craptastic, so that made it easier. This year was the first year that I did my own taxes. Dad had always done them for me, since I was away at school and he was already doing them for everyone else. He sent me three years of tax [...]

On the move

By Em | Published: Tuesday, February 2, 2010
I’m back, sort of. I am now more or less moved into my new apartment in the East End. Cable and Internet are not hooked up yet, but that should be happening in a few days. I’ve got the iPhone, so I’m at least partially connected, and I have my usual (throttled) internetting-capabilities from work. I’ve [...]

Updates have been few and far between because I’ve been busy getting stuff done… which is good, right? Some exciting things are happening over at chez Em. Or rather, they will be happening soon. Most exciting? I’m MOVING. Pulling up whatever roots I have in the West end of Ottawa and heading to the wild [...]
