Blueberry Muffin Bliss

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Last Thursday at 10 pm I had an entirely frivolous and over the top urge for home made blueberry muffins.  I brown bag every day to work, and had bought some frozen blueberries in the hopes of changing things up. This is a recipe for those urges. Not too much butter, not tricky in the [...]

The Veterinarian Retirement Fund

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Thanks for all of the well wishes last week about my mom’s hobbled cat Oliver and my puppies being neutered. They’re all doing very well, but it was a sad night without the boys. So much of everything now is geared around the puppies that having them gone was startling.

The Coiffe

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Speaking of yesterday’s post, any haircut I survive relatively unscaled is a huge victory!
Before…

After…

I’m really enjoying the change & have banished my flat iron for a while. I’m not regressing if I’m rocking curly hair and straight bangs, am I?

“I’m thinking a shaggy pixie cut”

Monday, November 10th, 2008

I’d had medium length hair for years. From grade seven on, I was shoulder length and by the time that grade twelve was over I was officially done with my old identity. I decided to take a year off school to recharge my batteries and enroll the next year with a totally new group of [...]
