I know it’s a short month, but it just seemed to fly by. There wasn’t enough time in the day for anything - many of the committments I had got bumped for others. I’m sort of doing a half-job of almost everything.
When’s the last time I baked bread? Last week? I usually bake bread ever [...]
Two weeks ago I made my annual trip up north.Â
Officially, I go up there to work - but really, I could do everything from home. The real reason is to see my family - my parents still live up there and my brother and sister-in-law are living up there for two years as well. It’s also [...]
I’ve been up in northern BC visiting my family and working for the last few days… it’s beautiful spring up in the Peace River country. Here a couple of shots of my family (minus the children-in-laws) and the scenery at this time of year. More fun fam shots to come!
Dad and little B planting an [...]
I have quite a few jobs.. some careers, some whims and some small businesses. Jrock and I were talking in the last while about how we’re going to pay the bills while I’m on mat leave. At least we’ve figured out the part-time work! after that is finished, but the mat leave is quite a challenge. [...]

I really have been adapting pretty well to work part-time… although, I don’t seem to have any more time than I used to. Mostly, I think that it’s because I am renovating away on the house, and because I haven’t been feeling that well. But certainly, I can chalk some of it up to procrastination. [...]
I know, I know. It’s only been 3 weeks since our file went to Ethiopia. And Kidslink has very clearly told us that the expected wait for a referral is 6-8 months. BUT… there are so many people getting referrals sooner… just a couple days ago one couple got a referral for a 3 year [...]
I am now much happier!
So I’ve decided that I am OUT OF THERE. As soon as I find something else, I will leave this miserable job. I’ve never quit a job before, but there is a first for everything! I’ve only been working there for 4 weeks, and I’ve come home a few times in tears. So there you [...]
Well, I had a career highlight and a career low yesterday. I didn’t get the job I was vying for, and it was a real disapointment. So I’m staying doing advertising for a realtor. But it’s a bit of an ego blow. One month, I have an assistant. The next month, I am an assistant. I [...]
Jrock and I haven’t posted for a little while because we’ve been awfully busy.Â
First news, we bought a house! The inspection is tomorrow, but the other conditions have already been removed. It’s a lovely storey-book tudor revival. We’re going to have lots of fun fixing it up (ok, so I’ll have fun and J will [...]
Yahoo! Yesterday was my last day of work.
So I thought I would give a little update on the work/moving situation, since it intertwines with adoption, AND because I whined about it in an earlier post.
 I haven’t found a job yet - although I havn’t been looking very hard. I suppose I’m looking for something that [...]
I’m am really getting sick of interviews. Why can’t I just find a job that
pays decently,
is interesting or challenging, and
works with nice people???
I know, boo hoo for me. Draw that bow across the violin one more time…
Jrock got a great position, and I’m totally jealous (and very happy for him.)Â But here I am flying [...]
