At the beginning of the season, I set myself a goal of 18 books I hoped to read in the coming fall. (You can read that post here.) I didn't cross off everything on the list but I did read a lot of great books. Here's how I did. 1. Shotgun Lovesongs by Nicholas Butler… Continue reading In Conclusion: My Autumn 2014 Reading List

No help for that a poem by Charles Bukowski there is a place in the heart that will never be filled a space and even during the best moments and the greatest times we will know it we will know it more than ever there is a place in… Continue reading a space
Dear John Grisham
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
