  • How many countries can you name?

    I love doing this quiz, but it’s much harder than you think! Name as many countries in 5 minutes as you can (the average is 58), and see how you stack up to the rest of the population! I did a craptacular 62 countries in 5 minutes and forgot some major ones, like Germany! Go…

  • More Mascara!

    Sheesh, it seems like all I do these days is try new mascara! What’s up with that? Any companies out there want to send me some other stuff to try out? Maybe a car? lol I’ve just been invited to another mascara promotional campaign, this time for L’Oreal’s new Beauty Tubes mascara. It’s not out…

  • Baby Pies!

    I made baby pies! Sooo cute! They’re actually tart shells that I filled with the pumpkin mix… pumpkin pie, portion controlled! I’m so proud of my baby pies. Maybe one day they will grow up to be big and strong like the mommy pies I baked on Monday. One can only hope 🙂 Happy Turkey…

  • Crockpot Envy

    Since I’ve made the decision to give up JC and cook for myself, I have developed a crush on the newer crock pots with time settings that switch to warm. *girlish sigh* See, I’m not very good at cooking, but I seem to do ok whenever there’s a crockpot involved, so I’ve become fixated on…

  • 100 Weird Foods

    Stole this courtesy of FB, because it was just so cool! The original meme is here.I like to think I have an open mind and will try most things within reason. In my travels and through living in an international city with some adventurous friends I’ve had the opportunity to try lots of new things!…

  • Avast, ye scallywag!

    I went to the Pirate Festival last weekend and have been meaning to post some photos of my booty! …Not that booty, guys! Sheesh! The haul is as follows: Handmade chainmail necklace (yes, that’s me modelling it in my pirate garb) Next up we have a beautiful handmade beaded necklace. The woman actually strung the…

  • Spider Attack!

    I witnessed a murder in my apartment today. And I got it on film. In case you were wondering why my bathroom looks so disgusting, I shall remind you that I live in a giant old Victorian-era house. It’s well over 100 years old and has many nooks and crannies where the debris of life…

  • Melona Madness

    There’s a Korean grocery store in (where else?) Korea Town that sells Melona in boxes… So where do you think I headed after work today? Yep. I was just in sight of the store when Rogers called me and told me the repairman was waiting at my house *doh!* So I had to scurry home…

  • Mmmmarvellous Melona!

    Totally found a new treat today, folks! I was out for a stroll at lunch with a friend and she introduced me to the heavenly bliss that is the Melona Ice Bar. *drools* It’s a Korean treat that can only be found at a few places in T.O. What a shame! I found it at…

  • What’s In Her Purse?

    A while ago I was asked what kind of stuff (junk) I keep in my purse on a regular basis. I was out shopping today and purchased a new cheapie white purse and was transferring my stuff over, so I thought I’d take a photo to share with you all! I’m pretty sure I’m a…
