This Ginger is about to snap
Man, there has been a lot going on since I last updated. Oh well. The biggest thing eating me right now is that I am once again without a job. It’s like a frigging roller coaster over here, either famine or feast. I can’t seem to figure out exactly what it is I want to…

A B&B Without Guests
Woooowwwww. It’s so nice to have this place finally to myself! It’s the first time in months that I haven’t had guests and it feels strange and liberating. I just took a shower and not only did I leave the door open, I also pranced back to my room completely buck naked! Don’t take the…

Back in the saddle
I missed this, I really did! I’ve been composing blog posts in my head for weeks, perhaps even months but just never sat down to do anything. Life has been a whirlwind and I’m going through life & personal changes again. I think I needed that break from blogging to fully live my life rather…

Apparently I was in the Herald Tribune, too
Look! They used a different photo! I kind of wish they had done it in colour… And also told me I would be in this paper as well! Does anyone happen to have a printed copy of this hanging around that you could send me? I’ll pay postage! Click for a larger image.

Successful shopping for the store
Well today went fairly well despite the continuing heatwave. I was lucky enough to stumble across a listing for the Big On Bloor festival on Friday night. Lucky because it was going on the following day, and was a great place for me to source some vendors for the shop! I headed out there this…

Starting My Business
After another prolonged absence from the intertubes I’ve come back yet again, with developments this time! Most of you regulars out there know that I have been planning to start an online business for some time now (historical posts here and here). Originally I had applied for the Ontario Self Employment Benefit program via the…

Talk to my agent…
So there’s been a bit of interesting stuff going on in the Gingersphere lately. I was interviewed by the New York Times for …something (not allowed to say yet). They may or may not publish it, but it would be cool if they did! The NYT! Cool! I also might be on a Food Network…

Crafting Borne of Boredom
Today I got a lot of little crafty things accomplished. But there was definitely one project that stood out from all the rest. Ash trays for my deck. Some of my friends like to smoke and need somewhere to put their cigarette butts. I have a sad, twisted sense of humor as you can see.…

The Big Idea
I haven’t been around much lately, but for good reason this time. I have been spending my funemployment time working on a business idea that I hope to launch in the next couple of months. After much soul-searching, I decided to take a break from the corporate world and do something that I really wanted…

FUNemployment Update
Sooo…. yeah…. I still don’t have a job yet. Not that I haven’t been trying. I’ve been to a job fair, had my resume reviewed and have been applying to a bunch of jobs I would like to do. No hits yet. I’m kinda bummed but otherwise doing OK. I posted a couple of weeks…
