From there to here, from here to there, Funny things are everywhere
I am crazy busy this week. I don’t have time for Internet drama (but oh, there is drama) and I don’t have time for the forecasted 30+ cm of snow between now and Friday (seriously!) and I really don’t have time to talk at any length about coffee. But as we discussed on Twitter this … Continue reading “Oh Tim Hortons, how you vex me”
Dear Tim Hortons, You know I love you. I’m pretty sure I single-handedly keep you in hockey pucks with my 2XL a day habit. In the battle for coffee drinkers that divides Canada into tribes like the Hatfields and McCoys, I have long sworn allegiance to you. I have been known to say that Starbucks … Continue reading “An open letter to Tim Hortons”
My name is DaniGirl, and I am addicted to Tim Horton’s coffee. *hangs head in shame* Not just Tim’s coffee. I like my own a lot, too. But I am a coffee snob and not just any old brackish brew will do when I need my fix. Which is, for the record, regularly. To the … Continue reading “Is there a 12-step program for Tim Hortons?”
I’ve been playing in the referral logs again. Endless hours of entertainment, I tell you. Seeing some of the things people google has me seeing humanity in a whole new light. One of those incredibly unfavourable office flourescent lights that makes everybody look callow and sickly. Of all the things I’ve written about in the … Continue reading “Tim Hortons and the Amazing Race”
Yay! It’s time to start thinking about our next summer vacation on Prince Edward Island! This will be our third trip to PEI. In 2014, we spent a week near Murray Harbour, and in 2015 we spent a generally wet and rainy but still happy two weeks near St Peters Bay. We’ve criss-crossed and explored … Continue reading “Planning for PEI 2016: Why we love the Points East Coastal Drive region”
Yay! I’ve been biding my time through a long cold winter, but it’s FINALLY time to kick it into high gear in planning for PEI in summer 2015! Next week we can say we’re going next month. And if you think I’m excited, you should hear Lucas – he asks at least once a day … Continue reading “Planning for PEI: Five places we must revisit”
I have a confession to make. A coffee confession. After a life-long love affair with Tim Hortons and all that they stand for, I’ve changed teams. I think I’ve become … a Starbucks girl. It’s a transformation that started on a sleepy Christmas day back in 2006, when the Starbucks drive-thru was there for me … Continue reading “In which she changes coffee teams”
In my post yesterday, I mentioned that I left the Blissdom Canada blogging and social media conference feeling newly inspired. There were a lot of things that didn’t engage me at the conference, but rather than gripe about those, I’d like to tell you about the things that did inspire me, and motivate me, and … Continue reading “Blissdom Canada takeaway messages: Part 1”
Did you hear the latest? Starting tomorrow at select Tim Hortons locations in Kingston and Sudbury, the small coffee size will no longer be available, the medium and large will become the small (10 oz) and medium (14 oz) respectively, and the new extra large will be a whopping 24 oz — that outsizes Starbucks’ … Continue reading “Supersizing Timmy”
The day I left for Vancouver last week was very much a Monday, in the most pejorative sense of the word. Due to huge line-ups at the security gate, even more huge line-ups at the Tim Hortons inside the departure lounge, and the most terrifying turbulence I’ve ever been subject to (as in, holding on … Continue reading “Postcards from Vancouver – Record-breaking rain”
