2019 End of Year Memes: New House, New Address, New Mortgage, Same Feeling of Working for the Bank Instead of the Library!

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Went to a minor league baseball game in Weyburn during the summer and a big production outdoor NHL game in Regina in the fall.  Enjoyed both equally! 2. Did anyone close to you give birth? Probably quite a few on Facebook but none […]

First Lines From My First Blog Post of Every Month of 2019

I’ve written before how this annual post where I share the first line of my first post of every month of the past year is one of my favourites of the year.  Part of the reason is how it seems completely random (I honestly don’t think about what I’m posting for the start of every […]

You Know You’re A Nerd When…

…one of the best things you get as a “Christmas gift” is a literature organizer you pick up off Kijiji from an accounting office on your way home from work Christmas Eve at a fraction of what a new one would’ve cost! Plus you get to be *really* excited about organizing all your various papers […]

An Extra Emotional Day in “Hammond Housing”-Related News

Friday turned into an even more emotional housing-news related day then we expected. In addition to being the possession day of our old house for the new owners, we heard that the condo complex where we lived for a couple years during our time in Calgary was engulfed in flames displacing numerous residents only a […]

Saturday Snap – Elfis?

Last year, we gave in and bought a stupid Dollar Store “Elf on a Shelf” rip-off to move around every night for Sasha. Turned out it was actually kind of fun coming up with scenarios and jokes for the little guy and I might’ve got more enjoyment out of it than she did! This year, […]

Saturday Snap – Is Edo My Favourite Food Court Choice?

Probably.  This seriously doesn’t even look like fast food as far as I’m concerned:

“You ar a good liberein”

Shea and I did a pretty major weeding of our kids’ book collections recently and I ended up giving a bunch to one of the teachers who regularly comes into my library (who also happens to teach at the school my kids go to so I have a soft spot for that school to begin […]

Pareidolia (aka Five Things I Thought About Blogging About Tonight But Am Too Lazy To Flesh Out Into Full Posts)

How I went “mini-viral” after whipping off a meme telling W. Brett Wilson to be better on Twitter after he posted a “fake news” attack on Justin Trudeau (my meme was sort of unique in that the ex-Dragon ended up “Liking” himself!) How close I am to giving up cable and switching to an Android […]

Weeding As a Life Philosophy

Shea and I got around to a *long* overdue task of decluttering our garage this weekend. Strangely, it reminded me of when I was in my first librarian job and (purposely?) my boss assigned me a major weeding project.  They just kept bringing me packed cart after overloaded cart of books and I had to […]

Friday Fun Link – Regina (and area) Fowl/Fall Supper Guide

Are fowl suppers a Saskatchewan tradition or a Prairie tradition or a Canadian tradition? At any rate, my friend Deron, has once again posted his annual Fowl/Fall Super Guide. I’m hungry already!
