Loathing: An Employment Insurance process that is way too clunky and DOES NOT accommodate teachers' very well. (For example, I'm still employed by the school district, but not currently working for them 'cause, well, it's summer holidays! But...

Things To Do Today

2008-07-09T15:25:30Z

Tomorrow I'm heading out on a road trip. My in-laws made us an offer we couldn't refuse: Come down, drop off Gus with us and then hop on the ferry and stay at our (the in-law's) condo to get some time to yourselves before the new baby comes. Uh,...

It's that time of the year again...

2008-06-30T03:43:12Z

When I start to complain about the weather. If you'd rather not hear it, stop reading now. So, so, so very hot. Too hot. I really don't do well in the heat. And being 7 months pregnant with sausage-like toes and clothes that don't fit great ...
