Perhaps I’m pre-menstrual (actually, Fact Fans, post-menstrual). Perhaps my romantic heart is just that sensitive. Perhaps all hope for a non-sentimental outlook is gone for good but this weekend I am away from home, away from my Arctic Fox for two whole nights and I hate the thought. We have just said goodbye, like every [...]
I love my Blog. There, I said it. Let’s not beat around the bush, play games or tell lies. One of my longest running, most successful relationships is with my Blog. (Do you capitalise this word or not? I never know). While the Blog/blog you see here was only technically born two years or so … Read more
I spent much of yesterday afternoon in the metaphorical arms of an older woman. When I woke, and saw the rain outside, I thought to myself, this is a Joni day. She came on the road with me a lot during my lonelier Vancouver days. I’d ride the bus and she’d be there, literally breaking … Read more
On this date, two years ago I got this job, much to my surprise and delight. In this uncertain time, I am going to take this realisation as a good omen, and a sign that things are going to be okay for me, two years on, in the here and now. I can’t jinx or count … Read more
I’ve been to two other ‘proper’ weddings in my life. One was a grandish church affair where the Bride walked down the aisle to Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’, which for some reason or other repelled me from that song for a long time.

I have brilliant friends. I have friends who know exactly where they are going in life, and I have friends who are wonderfully accomplished even if they don’t have it all planned out yet. I have young, gorgeous friends who are making mistakes before my eyes, but are making the very same mistakes I made, … Read more
It seems I have my very own Wedding Planner! I am not entirely sure what it is that Anthony-Lite (do you see what I did there, SATC fans?) will do, but we have established just one vital thing so far – I do not want to go overboard. I think, for the purposes of this … Read more
It’s always nice when the teenage heart throb you work with says to you: “I know you’re losing all this weight, Groupie – but don’t you dare lose that booty. It’s the best one I’ve ever seen!” You what now? Deal! In other news, Steve’s comment on spying my shopping list, left on the side, … Read more
As my regular reader (s) know, I am currently going through a rough patch with my so-called career. Panda and I have been furiously bargaining and pleading with the Cosmos for a positive outcome, and some of our more elaborate promises have been to stop bitching (me) and to convert to full on Orthodox Jew … Read more
Losing a lot of weight changes things. It changes who you are in small ways, sometimes in huger ways than you could ever imagine. It alters the way you feel, even how you think. For the most part the experience has been good for me. It has taught me that the things you want are … Read more
