I don’t know why I always decide to quit putting off baking bread at about 8 pm. It’s now almost midnight and I have just finished with it. It’s totally worth it though. I’m eating some, still warm, with homemade peach jam. This is the first time in a for quite [...]

UBC is off my list… they require a 3.75 for the final two years. 3.75!! I was good enough to get a blue cord strung around my neck at commencement, indicating to all that I was between 3.5 and 3.7 (it was 3.49 actually, good thing they round up) but a coveted yellow [...]

When I finally dragged James out of bed this morning (it takes several attempts) he slouched over to the computer and googled “my girlfriend wakes up too early.”
I phoned up Dalhousie to see about applying there and I think I will not. They don’t really have anything to do with linguistics at all, and [...]

James is making tater tots, and I peeked into the oven to see. They’re all standing up on their ends. I might be crazy but I thought that was the cutest thing ever, so I gave him a hug and said “awww you stood them all up on end!” He couldn’t understand [...]

Tonight is the retirement dinner party for the recently departed CEO of the compay I work for. It’s at a swanky private club with a dress code and James is stressing about his attire. He has *a* suit, but he bought it years ago and never wears it and it doesn’t fit and [...]

James gave me his office jack-o-lantern (it hadn’t been lit!) and I cut it all up tonight. I forgot how big pumpkins are. This was a big one. I canned six pints (that was all the jars I had), steamed a big pot full that’s going to get mashed and made into [...]

I came over to James’ house for a sleepover tonight, and he was in the middle of doing some stuff in the kitchen.
“I was going to make a beaverage,” he said.
“A beaverage? Like a hermitage but for beavers?”
“Yeah.”
“Where were you gonna get the beavers?”
“…. uh.. from the fridge.”
“Honey, beavers come from ponds, not fridges.”
“No, [...]

This is really not so girlish, but I thoroughly dislike getting flowers. Cut flowers anyway. Flowers still growing in a pot are fine. I just really don’t like flowers in a vase. Why waste your money on something that’s going to wilt in three days, especially when growing it involved an [...]

I was making banana bread today and saw a little tiny inchworm inching across my recipe card. I don’t know where he came from. I am especially paranoid since I found bugs in my flour last week and had to throw the whole bag out. 10 kg and I hadn’t used more [...]
Last night, walking to the bubble tea shop: “I think you’ll be really wrinkly when you’re old.”
