Today, at work, I did a double work out. Let me explain: Normally I do a 20 minute bike ride-it’s a recumbent type bike-and I average 4.5 miles and burn about 400+ calories. So I did that today, but I was done with 35 minutes left to go on my shift, so I thought, what […]

Yet another perk
By Caitlin Jane in a good dayWho would ever have thought I’d enjoy living with fish so much? Not me, that’s for sure. Yet somehow, here I am, loving fish. There are three of them, 2 koi fish and one black slurper (identified by Ashley as a plecostamus) at the bottom of the pond. I walk past them 100 times each […]

Illegal skipping
By Caitlin Jane in a good dayAri and I went to the playground next door to check things out. Luckily the kid police didn’t come and bust us, hauling our butts to jail. We found a skipping rope that was artfully tied to various things by Ari and skipped with. It’s almost like summer today. I’m going to break out the […]

Felicitations!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, love, toys, we have funToday was Ari’s 6th birthday. I think it was probably her most eagerly anticipated birthday yet, and has been talked about for almost a year. The day went very well, Ari helped me bake and decorate her own cake this morning: Served on my grandmother’s wedding china, yes. I am no cake decorator, that’s for […]

And the last year and a half I’ve been living without my stuff, my glorious, wonderful, life affirming stuff. Now we have room and I have all my stuff back and the joy I’ve […]

Work meeting

Trust me, a group hug at a work meeting helps bring staff together and makes everyone happy. And we did all put on happy faces after […]

Old news
By Caitlin Jane in Old crapI found the disk with my old pictures on it (from 2002 perhaps?) and wanted to share with you. I’m pretty sure I’ve posted these pictures before, so bear with me, ok? Mostly for my mom and sister: I still have one of those kilts. I tried to get Ari to wear it but she […]

Beautiful Sunday
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, friends, making stuff is goodI just got back from the briefest visit ever from Nicole. Please feel free to go to her shop and buy lots of stuff. She had a necklace for me that is so incredible, every detail of it is amazing, thanks Cole. I just need to figure out how it’s worn to show off all […]

I love porn! Porn porn porn!
By Caitlin Jane in food, making stuff is goodAnd not the sex type porn, oh, no no no. Food porn. Seriously. I pour over 2 food porn round up websites daily, drooling over beautiful photos and tempting recipes. My favourite used to be tastespotting, but when they went offline due to a discrepancy over ownership, foodgawker was born and now I am a […]

Computer tips from a non computer person
By Caitlin Jane in daily grindI know, I’m the last person you’d expect computing help from, but I am here to tell you I learned about something that’s changed how I use the internets. Two words: Google Reader. I think I first read about this via Dooce (or maybe linked from her blog) and I immediately followed all instructions and […]
