Looking for Balance*
Balance. I feel like it’s a theme I keep coming back to again and again this year. I honestly don’t know how people do it–find a balance between work and home, self and family, responsibility and recreation. In the past few weeks work has picked up. A lot. With the exception of two sick days and one day without a call, I’ve worked every day since the March Break. Don’t get me wrong, I am thrilled about this. We need the money more than ever, and I’m finally in a really good place with my job. I would say that ninety-five percent of the calls I get are requests to…

Things I Am Thinking…
…being a grown-up is awesome. But also hard. …I miss Ghetto U. And Bo Bandy. And Star. …I love my house. …I love my neighbours. …I need to start running again, but I wish I had someone to go with. …I’m so tired. …my laundry is in the dryer. I should go get it. …this week felt incredbily long, but also went by incredibly fast. …I miss my family. …I love that my family actually likes to spend time together. …the Hubster is working so hard to make our home nice. I need to tell him more that I’m grateful for all he does. …I love my house, but I…

Performance Day*
This is a post that has absolutely nothing to do with my new house. (Shocking, I know. haha) Yesterday was a very special day for me. I think I mentioned previously that I had been rehearsing for a small musical I was in. It was a production based on the parable of The 10 Virgins: Beautiful words and music give an identity and an individual story to each of the Ten Virgins. Each possesses a positive quality or virtue that could be wisely developed. But as their stories unfold, the struggles of their daily lives present each woman with choices that determine her path. Will she prepare herself with lamps…

An Un-Thrifty Thursday*
Hi dears, I’ve decided not to do a Thrifty Thursday post this week. It has been a crazy few days… As you know, I wrapped up my course on Monday. The last three days have been a whirlwind of packing, organizing and work. Our little apartment is slowly being devoured by boxes, but it still feels like there is so much to do. I didn’t get any time to go shopping this week, and most of my purchases from earlier weeks are all packed away in boxes, which leaves this particular Thursday decidedly un-thrifty. Sorry, loves. As it is, I’m also up in B-town with my family for Easter. I…

Date Days*
The Hubster and I spent a lovely, albeit busy day together. Actually, our adventures started last night. As our moving date gets closer and closer (Two weeks! Two weeks!) our “date nights / days” have changed a little bit. Instead of going out for dinner, we find ourselves in Canadian Tire and Home Depot, dreaming about all the projects we hope to take on in our new home. A deck! A dishwasher! A garden! A finished basement! New windows! …just to name a few. We know that many of these projects will be years in the making, but it’s lovely to dream about how it will all look when everything…
