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?

In Which I Cook A Large Piece of Meat
Recently, I cooked a roast by myself for the first time. It was an exciting and nerve-wracking time. While pot roast is not on my list of top ten favourite foods, it still seems like one of those "Things an Adult Should Know How to Do". So I chose a day that I had off… Continue reading In Which I Cook A Large Piece of Meat
E.R. – Embarassed Reflections on an Emergency Room Visit
Yesterday was one of those days. You know what I mean, right? Things just...don't go right. The autumn rains of the Pacific Coast have most definitely arrived. Gumboots, rain jackets, umbrellas. As well as flashlights and candles kept close at hand, due to high winds and our somewhat-remote location. The rain poured down, the lights… Continue reading E.R. – Embarassed Reflections on an Emergency Room Visit
Fashion Blogger Fail
Like I mentioned in my previous post, I went shopping last weekend. It was the first time I've done a lot of shopping in a while and I wanted to share some of it with you. So I took this picture: But man, that's boring. That's just some clothes on a bed. And that t-shirt… Continue reading Fashion Blogger Fail

Stories about Pie
Isn't it kind of crazy that this: Can become this: Baking pies has always seemed to me the epitome of domesticity. Good pie crust seems like such a simple thing but it is not an easy achievement. I've tried a number of different recipes and I think this apple pie was one of my more… Continue reading Stories about Pie
Small Town Perils
Some things are different when you live in a small town. I'm learning to adjust to the lack of anonymity you have when you live in a town of approximately 8, 500 people (that's rounding up). Since I don't know that many people yet I still find it charming to run into an acquaintance downtown.… Continue reading Small Town Perils
A B.C. Day Post
August! August means apples! At least, for some reason, it does to me. I eat apples all year round but this is the time of year they start appearing on trees in this part of the world. I have some big life news to share... I took a big girl step this weekend and I… Continue reading A B.C. Day Post
A Phone Conversation Last Night
Me: (answering the phone) Hello, Karissa speaking. Guy calling on the phone: Hello, can I speak to your parent, please? (Okay, so that's a little odd but we are housesitting and I think perhaps he's looking for the folks who actually live here and he thinks I'm their daughter. They don't have a daughter but… Continue reading A Phone Conversation Last Night
A Rainy Tuesday Bachelorette Update
It's a grey and rainy day so let's begin with this picture of the rhododendron bush in my parents' backyard. Don't you feel better now? I spent a lovely weekend in Vancouver, getting to see some friends I've missed. I love that city. I get so excited from the moment I hit the outskirts. There's… Continue reading A Rainy Tuesday Bachelorette Update
