Vancouver 2014 Day 2

Yesterday was an odd day. The early morning was filled with jetlag troubled sleep stolen between the sentences of an audiobook. Then the slow journey to find breakfast began with fumbling fingers and a lazy search for directions.

Things picked up as we started our journey down a nearby street. Hopping on and off the bus we managed to pick up everything we needed, the highlights included something to sit on for our picnic, a copy of Outlander to read before the show starts, and lots and lots of glorious food.

I wish I had taken photos of the market. Produce lined the sidewalk out front and inside was packed with everything a food lover could want. Usually stores contain aisles of processed food with a small natural, health food section; here it was the opposite. Needless to say our mini fridge is packed with produce and all the fixings for real meals.

Lunch was a treat. A nice salad with a burger on the side which, coincidentally, turned out to be dinner as well since we headed over to Moderne Burger in Kits for dinner. It's a cute little dinner with decent burgers for a decent price, although I may still be biased by my recent affair with Shake Shack in New York.

After dinner, we headed over to Richmond for the Night Market. We spent a couple of hours wandering around, drooling over the amazing food and picking up some real steals from the vendors.

Headed back after, we wandered around downtown for a couple minutes stopping into 7-Eleven for more FareSaver passes and Tim Hortons while waiting for the bus.

Back at the suite, life looked a lot like it did last night, a quick bit of picking up and then faceplanting in bed.

Earth Day aka "Green Love" 2008

Leafy Tree Pendant from OneElf Earth Day’s fast approaching and I’m super excited. My ‘hug a tree’ shirt’s ready and waiting and I’m impatiently counting down the hours. Yes I’m a giant geek, but it’s the one day where spreading the green love is totally socially acceptable. Although I will still try and refrain from yelling at people who chuck plastic bottles in the trash; I will not refrain from rolling my eyes at people who look at me funny when I remove perfectly good rolls of wrapping paper from the trash. It’s going to be fun. However since it is Earth Day I know everyone’s being berated with things like ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ and ‘turn the water off when you brush your teeth’. Important, yes, but I think there’s a bit of a bigger picture that gets missed in all that, so I’m going for something different. I’m not going to talk about it, at least not today. Today I’m talking about worms. Yes, I’m finally writing a real entry about something, and yes it’s about worms. ...

12 on 12: September 2015

I had forgotten to do my 12 on 12 on the 12th this month so when I went out on Saturday I was only all too willing to get a bit snap happy. The day started out back in my old neighborhood at the annual library book sale. I stocked up and then we headed to my favorite places to shop: the farmers market, Trader Joes, and Wegmans. After that, we stopped off at the Stone Quarry Hill Art Park since Saturday was also the Smithsonian's annual Museum Day Live . The park was beautiful, we had a nice walk and even ran into a wedding party. We took the long way home and had a great time meandering through the country looking at old barns, cows, and windmills.

Oh Canada… thank you for your awesomness

I’ve gone and fallen in love with Flashpoint . I hadn’t intended to. It started out a lot like most other things with me watching a couple of episodes with *insert favorite actor here* (Pacale Hutton, in this case, for those of you who are wondering). The episodes were good, really good, but I chalked it up to the amount of glee I had over cop uniforms and the CN Tower. I’m really not hard to please when it comes to all things Canadian, but then I watched another episode. I had an hour before bed, no biggie, but one turned into two, I feel in love with the characters and I was hooked. And since it’s been awhile since we’ve had some Canada <3 on this blog, here’s a bit of Toronto themed goodness.
