Life Lately #7 – Where I’ve Been, My 30th and Christmas

No Comments

Hey guys! These past few months I’ve taken a healthy break from posting here on BGB to focus on other areas of my life, only posting about once a month. It’s been great, and here’s what I’ve been up to: October October saw my sister’s birthday, Thanksgiving and Halloween. I LOVE my sister’s birthday, and Thanksgiving (I tolerate Halloween to make my coworkers happy). October also saw the return of my favorite sport: HOCKEY. Sadly my team is struggling as per usual this year but someday soon they’re going to sort themselves out. November November was a great month! I enjoyed my birthday, a fun contract with a client and some outings with friends. But first thing’s first… my dad fixed my microwave for me early on in the month, and now I can make microwave popcorn! (And reheat leftovers). Next up was loads of fun snuggling puppies. Jazz, Whiskey…

Life Lately #6 – Summertime, the flu and downtime

No Comments

Hey guys! It’s been a while (3 weeks!) since I’ve posted and I’m excited to be back. I’ve been busy enjoying a gorgeous summertime here, gardening, playing in the grass with puppies and enjoying a beer in the gazebo with my family most weekends. There have been a couple heat streaks here as well, which has had me sneaking off to my sister’s or my parent’s place to keep cool. And then of course, catching the flu forced some downtime for me, too. I had to take the bad with the good, though! I can’t believe I caught the flu for the second time this year which is basically unheard of for me! I’ll catch coldsdecently often in the winter since I work in a post-secondary setting and often take the bus when it’s cold out. But the flu is not something I’m used to and it knocked me right…

Life Lately #4- Jazz, Fun Activities and Christmas

No Comments

Hi Guys! Happy Friday! Today felt like a great day to do a Life Lately post since so much has happened in the past seven weeks. Firstly, I chopped my hair off in late November and it’s been super fun playing with it shorter. I waffle on keeping it this length versus growing it back out, but my general dislike of my hair touching me will probably lead to me growing it back out eventually- I just love how fun short hair is. Next item, I hosted a super fun “Friendsgiving”/Holiday Dinner with some of my friends and it was great to all hang out together! That night I also discovered a water issue in my garage that set into motion a BUNCH of things that sort of took over December, but thank God for good friends and especially my dad, who helped me troubleshoot and clean up what was…

Life Lately No. 1

No Comments

Hey guys! I wanted to start something new where I can kind of “round up” all of the little things from the past little while that maybe didn’t make it to the blog as a full post, but are fun none-the-less. Last week I had Monday off (as part of an extended Canada Day break from work), and then I went back to work FULL TIME! I’ve been working part time and love my job, and as of last Tuesday, I’m a full time member of the team. It’s been swelteringly hot in Edmonton the past week or so, so I’ve been hiding in my parent’s basement and neglecting my own house. It needs cleaned and aired out! But, I’m taking care of a friend’s dog this week so we’ll see how much gets done! But the past week has been hiding out at mom and dad’s and enjoying the gazebo…
