Which means it smells like dog poop in Winnipeg! Spring is absolutely the ugliest season in this city. The snow is in a mass melt that makes everything wet, dirty and stinky; a beautiful bouquet for the eyes and nose. Yet, I still like this season since it means winter is almost over. Soon, the … [Read more]
Here are some pics of my bathroom reno so far. Still have a bit to do, but it’s starting to look good.
Today, I was told by my coworker Anna that I am a lazy blogger. Ok, maybe those weren’t her exact words, but that’s what I have been. Here’s my excuse… I have been super busy! The last couple of weeks have been crazy. I am currently motoring between my home to check on the bathroom … [Read more]
The bathroom reno has begun! The old tub wall is being removed as I write this. I love, love, love watching the destruction of it. I hated that wall. Stupid linoleum tub surround. It was gross. I’m going to blog the process as it continues. I will try to take some good shots of the … [Read more]
What a Sunday! I have been sanding and painting my hallway all day; just giving it a badly needed refresh really. My hallway consists of six door frames, four have doors and the other two are entrance ways. I call it the pivot zone as it’s only big enough to stand in. You just pivot … [Read more]
Brrrrr, it’s been quite cold in the “peg” lately. Bone-chilling cold. This city gets so frigid in the winter that it becomes easier to hibernate at home than venture outside. But today was not that day. It was beautiful. The sun was out, the sky was blue and the snow was sparkling beneath it all. … [Read more]
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Work is always crazy in December; this year especially as I’m trying to finish a couple of projects before year-end. Christmas shopping is hectic and all the while I’m trying to organize getting my bathroom updated. I’m not the best at this reno thing. I don’t really know … [Read more]
What beautiful weather we have been having in Winnipeg this fall. It’s been so mild that I cannot believe tomorrow is the first of December! Crazy Ah December, always a crazy month of decorating, shopping, visiting and eating. Those are a few of my favourite things. Ah, who am I kidding, those are all of … [Read more]
Wow, have I ever fallen off the blogging bus! Not sure what happened there. I don’t have anything exciting to say, so I will just post this funny video a friend sent me. It’s Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” sung by the Muppets. I have a huge soft spot for them; the Muppet Show was one of … [Read more]
This H1N1 thing, I don’t know, should we be as freaked out about it as the media is telling us to be? Is it going to take us all down or is it media hysteria all over again? Anyone remember Y2K, bird flu, SARS? All week, I’ve seen people in long lines for the vaccine … [Read more]
I went to the theater last Saturday to see “Where the Wild Things Are.” What a beautiful movie. It made me wistful to be a kid again; when your imagination and energy knew no bounds.
I gave my first presentation to the web team today. It was on writing effectively for the web. I probably should have prepared more, but I think it went well overall. And did I ever speak fast! Must have had some nerves, which is strange since I’m a bit of a talker (understatement) and speaking … [Read more]
I’m such a procrastinator! I’ve known for a month that I have to give a presentation to the web team and I am just sitting down now to figure out what to present! Actually, I guess I’m blogging instead. Not good. Tomorrow should be interesting. Basement update: The poly is on the walls in the … [Read more]
Yesterday, I went to a belated Thanksgiving dinner with my new blended family. As always the food was fantastic, but better than that, it was our first big dinner together. There were laughs, crazy stories, kids hollering and of course lots of wine. Good times! After dinner, we each went around the table and said … [Read more]
Yes! Insulation in my basement. It’s finally done and feels so much cozier down there already. The dank is gradually going away. Next step, poly. Here are the latest pics.
