Random Thoughts
Burn baby burn
So, the blog posts have been a bit sparse here lately. Truth be told, I’m feeling a tad burnt out and therefore a little uninspired. Feel free to fill in the gaps with stories of your own by submitting them to East Coast Guest Posts. Or leave a comment below to let me know what [...]
Growing up is hard to do
In actual fact, I’ve long considered myself a bona fide adult. However, for the past few days I’ve been in Toronto for business while also visiting family and I was reminded of how perceptions vary depending on the eyes of the beholder. For instance, my parents dropped me off at the swanky Intercontinental Hotel after [...]
#ECBC contest winners
Before the big announcement, I’d first of all like to thank everyone who participated in sharing their love of Barrington Street whether it was of current businesses, past memories or the future potential. For the next couple of weeks work will be keeping me busy with Canada Reads 2010. If you’re only going to read [...]
2009: A year in review
We’re a few days into 2010 already but I thought I’d post about some of the highlights of 2009 in my online world. It was a pretty busy year. Cokebaby and I travelled to the South of France for our 10 year wedding anniversary (today marks year 11)! We took a trip with his family in [...]
Pride of (work)place
It’s no secret that I love my job. The CBC is home to some pretty wonderful Canadian content. Here’s a video showing what we Canadians get for just $34 a year. My fave program—besides, of course, my beloved CBC Books pages—is Radio 3 for great new music and fun podcasts. What are some of your [...]

In the midst of the H1N1 scare season, formerly known as the flu season, I have to admit to wondering about if/when I should go see a doctor. The NS government has an Influenza Decision Chart that I found actually pretty [...]
Daydream believer
Has anyone else been having trouble sleeping lately? I don’t know if it’s the weather, the time change or what but I feel like I’ve been on auto-pilot this past week due to lack of z’s. As a result, random thoughts have come to into my head. Sort of like the following: AliasGrace: I think [...]
On being good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, likeable
Since starting this blog on New Year’s day of this year, more people are coming out of the woodwork to leave comments here or through other social media channels. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all. I’ve been having lots of fun and I hope you have also. It’s even been [...]
Breaking up is hard to do OR how to lose a dream job and still carry on
First, I have to apologize for it being quiet on the blogging front this week. Some of you who follow me on Twitter or who know me in real life have already heard the sad news. As the title of this post indicates, my dream job and I broke up on Monday. After three years [...]
Hello [City]
From July 7-21 I’ll be on the Emerald Isle, sipping pints of Guinness and stuffing my face with boxties (that doesn’t sound as dirty as it really is). While away I’m going to run a very special series of East Coast Guest Posts and am inviting you to write an open letter to your city. [...]
