Dear Mr. Grisham, I'll be honest, I've never read a single one of your novels and I have no plans to. Call me a book snob or disinterested in American law, you've just never captured my attention. (Though I did watch The Pelican Brief with Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts.) That said, I've worked in… Continue reading Dear John Grisham

Hello August
Last weekend, Peter and I took a long weekend trip south of the border - down Seattle way! We headed over Friday evening after work and made it through the Peace Arch by sunset. We were in Seattle together at this same time three years ago so we knew some of the places we wanted… Continue reading Hello August
Day 5 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
The Dress: This Joe Fresh dress was a Chilliwack thrift store find. I love the soft simplicity of it. The top part is cotton and the skirt is silk. You can see the divide here: That also highlights my awesome paper bead necklace that a dear friend brought me from Uganda. I love colourful jewellery… Continue reading Day 5 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014

El Bachelore – What Went Wrong?
I've reached the point with The Bachelor that I reach in just about every season. Boredom. I enjoy the first few episodes and I enjoy the last couple of episodes but in the middle...you lose me. Next week is Hometown Dates which I always enjoy so I think I will likely be back to recapping… Continue reading El Bachelore – What Went Wrong?
El Bachelore – Episode 5
Like I've said previously, I knew nothing about our Bachelor going into this season. Five episodes in, I'm ready to form my opinion. I don't like him. Let's delve into why. We're in Vietnam and there are eleven ladies left. "This is, like, nature! It's water, trees, sun!" - Clare describes Vietnam. And what nature… Continue reading El Bachelore – Episode 5
El Bachelore – Episode 4
Herein begins the travelling, a round-the-world visit of "the most perfect places to fall in love." "I'm excited to start dating somewhere else." - Juan Pablo Does he realise that the Ladies are coming too? You're dating the same 13 women, just in a different place. Don't get too excited, dude. Chris Harrison tells the… Continue reading El Bachelore – Episode 4
El Bachelore – Episode 3
Molly the dog is still hanging around the mansion. Probably the only thing I like about this season so far. Will she go travelling with them? Can she stay even if Kelly gets kicked off? Will there be a dog every season now? Nikki kicks us off by telling the camera, "I want to see… Continue reading El Bachelore – Episode 3
El Bachelore – Episode 2
The episode opens with a shot of Molly the Dog swimming in the pool. Probably the highlight of the episode. Though that would also make me not want to swim in the pool anymore. One-on-One Date with Clare Clare allows herself to be blindfolded and gets into a car with a man she's only met… Continue reading El Bachelore – Episode 2
El Bachelore – Episode 1
Well, here we go, the latest journey for love with Juan Pablo. Like I said previously, I didn't know much about this guy except that he seemed to be chosen as the bachelor solely on the basis of his looks and his accent. Here's what I learned about Juan Pablo: He's Venezualan. But he was… Continue reading El Bachelore – Episode 1
