The job hunt
Freelancing is tough work – mostly because you never know where your next paycheque will come from. I’ve been very lucky this past year to have two long-term contracts (one was a year long and the other was four months), with a nice peppering of smaller two-day types of jobs in between. The work I [...]
Creating space in a loft-style condo
I have wonderful news. The boyfriend, Mr. Science, is moving in with me! Hurray! We’re very excited. We’ve been talking about it for months – it’s gone something like this: January Me: Your apartment lease is coming up in the spring – want to move in with me? Him: Umm… no. We both need our [...]
Five things everyone should experience on their own
There’s something of a stigma in our society against doing things alone. You’re automatically “weird” if you need alone time, or it’s “inappropriate” to not want to spend every single moment with other people. I enjoy being around others, but having alone time is also very important to me. For the next week or so, [...]

Hope you all have a great long weekend Our “Managing a 60-hour workweek” mini-series will begin next week, but today I wanted to announce that this was my last week working at the vet clinic (if by “last week” I mean that [...]
Learning confidence
A couple years ago, the sistertraveller and I were sitting on the floor of our apartment on New Year’s Eve, wondering if anyone was actually going to show up to the party we were throwing*. While we waited, somewhat nervously, we talked about (what else?) New Year’s resolutions. Neither of us felt that there was [...]

I am exhausted from the conference this weekend, but oh my goodness it was amazing!!! I had the best time ever and will be posting a re-cap of FitBloggin’ later this week for everyone who wasn’t able to make it and also to share some awesome new blogs for you all to start reading. On [...]
FitBloggin’ 2011 and eating healthy on the road
Tomorrow I head out to Baltimore for FitBloggin’! I’m very much looking forward to getting away for the weekend and especially to be able to meet up with lots of other health and fitness bloggers. The conference sessions look fantastic. (By the way, who’s all going to FitBloggin’? I’d love to meet you if you’ll [...]
