It IS all about me

One hell of a weekend

15 August 2010 It IS all about me

Friday morning when I woke up, I was expecting an ordinary day leading into an ordinary weekend with absolutely nothing on the go — a nice break from looping around the country to just take it easy for a change. Despite the best laid (non) plans, after a short-notice appointment to see a house on [...]

Saving the best for last: Photography Q&A at Canadian Family

16 July 2010 My 15 minutes

I was a little stumped as to how to wrap up my week of guest posts over at the Family Jewels blog on Canadian Family’s site. I’d managed on each of the previous four posts to stay more or less on theme with a particular facet of photography, but had so much left to say [...]

Congratulations to Judy of Mother, Wife and More who won the first of five subscriptions to Canadian Family magazine that I have to give away this week.

Thoughts on traveling safely

26 June 2010 It IS all about me

No, I’m not really thinking about seat belts and car seats and whatnot. Ever since we started planning our trip out east, I’ve been debating on whether to mention online when we’ll be out of town. I’m torn on the issue. On the one hand, the house won’t exactly be empty as the dog and [...]

My blog and pony show

The CCO is a government communicators network, and the speaker was one of the leading experts on blogs as an emerging communication medium. I remember watching the presentation and thinking, man I’d love to have that gig some day. [...]

Push-up challenge = FAIL

31 May 2010 It IS all about me

So DaniGirl, how’s that push-up challenge going? *sound of crickets* Yeah. I totally fell off the wagon on this one. Aside from doing two sets of 15 push-ups at the gym on Saturday, I haven’t done a single set in the last week or two. Push-up fail. Mind you, I’m still pretty damn impressed with [...]
