Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
I toyed with posting this, as it’s a bit risqué for what I’d normally post here, however I find it too amusing NOT to blog. But I will include a bit of a warning: This post contains adult subject matter. Continue reading at your own risk! Asterisks have been used to try and protect me … Continue reading 2006 – In with a Bang!
What did you do in 2005 that you’d never done before? I acquired this wee domain early in 2005 – I’d never owned one of my very own before. I also learned how to Row this year. Other than that, I spent a lot of the year rediscovering some passions I hadn’t been spending enough … Continue reading Year in Review

And just like that, it’s all pretty much over. Gifts have been given and received, family’s come and gone, food’s been created and consumed. I’m currently curled up in one of two new sets of cozy pj’s, reflecting on the holiday. I got my very own Christmas miracle this year, and managed to be left … Continue reading And so it goes
Well, I’ve made it back to the homestead. Did a little last-minute shopping with dad, a little last-minute baking with mom, a little drinking and commisserating with the brothers, and it looks like I’ve got nothing left to do but relax and enjoy myself from here on in. Hope your holidays are happy, wherever you … Continue reading Home

The Holiday bug has officially gotten me! Every day this week the mail’s held a wee bit of cheer! Christmas Cards, the 12 Months of Chuck calendar I ordered, and my Secret Santa Gift! And nothing puts me in the festive mood like listening to Dean Martin croon “Baby its Cold Outside” on repeat all … Continue reading Bitten!
Remember when I blogged about how nobody wants to be the “sock giver” at Christmas? Well, we had the Spelunking Club Secret Santa this morning, and my Santa definitely did some research! Apparently wishes really do come true! Continue reading Better Socks through Blogging
I am the easiest, and the hardest person to buy gifts for. I like receiving practical gifts. I will give those who request it a detailed list of what I want, including brand names, stores you can find them at, and approximate cost. People rarely like to buy me the practical gifts. Practical gifts are … Continue reading Gifty
Oh my lovelies! I can not refrain any longer! IT’S CHRISTMAS SEASON! I do my best to make it past Rememberance Day, so that I can honour our Veterans without shadows of Silver and Gold creeping in to the day. Sometimes I even make it past my Mom’s birthday on November 28th, so she doesn’t … Continue reading Happy Ho Ho!

Those who worked with me last winter know that my mantra through the entire Christmas season was a daily Starbucks trip to procure a Grande Eggnog Latte and Cranberry Bliss Bar. Now that I’m on this whole health kick thing, I figured I’d check out the nutritional information of the aforementioned mid-morning snack. It consists … Continue reading Bah Humbug
Nothing like starting your Friday by surfing a little work-related porn. Also, I started my Christmas Shopping last night. I suppose that means it’s time to put up the tree & lights this weekend. The stuff I bought yesterday is all random “Christmas-themed Gifts.” Meaning they’re really cute, and not intended for anyone in particular. … Continue reading TGIF
Calling all eligible bachelors (or bachelorettes for that matter): Are you having a fabulous Christmas party this season? Are you lacking an appropriate escort to said event? Look no further! I am available! And I am cute, and socially proficient! (Or at the very least, I will not get so drunk that I dance on … Continue reading Attention:
