Monday Meme – Exercise Edition
1. How much exercise do you get in an average week? Not enough, it would seem. With work, it’s even more difficult to fit it in. I’ve got a free gym at work though, so I really should start taking advantage of that. It’s always full of scary super-fit RCMP officers though. 2. Do you make [...]
Wordless Wednesday – My Dentist
Not quite Wordless Wednesday – You need to know that my dentist has a big 2.5′ x 3′ ish blow-up of this photo (of himself) in his waiting room… I took this copy from his website. Yeah… I dunno. I wish my teeth would stop breaking. Or at least break after my nice work insurance [...]

a few things…

Some knitting!
I know I’ve been slacking when I can’t remember the last knitting update I made on this blog. It’s a knitting blog, right? Anyhow, the latest project that I’ve photographed is my little sun glasses case. I’m not going for structural support with this project. I’m not kidding myself – if I was to sit [...]

Monday Meme – Alphabet Meme finale
Longest meme ever… this is the final installment. If you’re interested, the first and second installments are still up. This one is the toughest part – Q to Z. I’m grateful for so many things, but it’s difficult to find some that start with X and Z…. Like Unlike
