  • Having my ears lowered

    That’s right, folks. I’m giving the old chop chop to my goldie-locks tomorrow! Much like the wonderful and soon-to-be President Obama says, it’s time for change. I’m starting fresh with a new haircut. Now here’s the funny thing: I’ve decided to go to the Vidal Sassoon salon here in Toronto, and while I was googling…

  • Health Crash

    I didn’t post this weekend for a very good reason. I came down with a seriously nasty case of the stomach flu. I haven’t had the flu in about 5-6 years, so when it hit me, it hit me hard. It also couldn’t have come at a worse time. This weekend my BFF T came…

  • My Health is not so Healthy

    So, going back to my mysterious stress illness, I had a follow up appointment with my normal doc. And she has no idea what is wrong with me. Gastritis is such a hard thing to pin. It’s not ulcers. It’s not liver problems. It’s not acid-reflux. It’s not my gallbladder. Speaking of which, I got…

  • Urrgh Stomach Upsets

    I’ve gone home halfway through work for the past two days due to some seriously painful stomach aches and migraines. It has not been a good week for me! My stomach was hurting so much today that I called my mom on the way home and begged her to pick me up from Toronto and…

  • Pumpkins Tix!

    Yay! I got some tickets to Smashing Pumpkins at Massey Hall!! I don’t think they’re really good seats, but I’m just happy to go! Now I’m just looking for someone to go with me… So far M from T’s wedding said she might go with me, but I don’t have that confirmed. It sure would…

  • Eww.

    It has been one day since I posted my ad on Craigslist. I have received 26 emails. 2 of them were penis shots. 1 even had jizz all over it. Fantastic. 85% of them are totally opposite to what I said I wanted. I was very specific so I wouldn’t have to read through emails…

  • Craigslist

    I just totally posted a personal ad on Craigslist. I don’t know whether I should be embarrassed by that or not. It started with me trying to sell some clothes on CL… then somehow I ended up trying to sell myself? Hmm we’ll see how this goes. As soon as the ad went up I…

  • Ginger Sets a Budget?

    This blog started out as a personal finance blog, and lately I feel as though I have been drifting away from that topic, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s time to get back to my roots! In a lot of the blogs I read, the bloggers challenge themselves yearly, monthly and sometimes even…

  • Ginger got Schooled: Break the habit of comparing yourself to others

    I’ve just started reading (again) Leo’s blog Zen Habits, and I couldn’t have started at a better time. I’ve got a few bad habits (who doesn’t?) and mine include being a bit jealous/envious, comparing myself to others, being unhappy and having low self esteem. This translates into even more icky personality traits that I’ve been…
