I had an appointment with a doctor this morning, which explained the lack of links for today. I needed to get a medical exam for immigration purpose. It was pretty painless, but I was so nervous that the doctor had…

Yesterday was the half-anniversary of our wedding, and guess who forgot all about it? Not Troy. Yeah, I know. I’m a bad wife. I’m supposed to be better at remembering dates. Bad, bad Firda! I didn’t realise it was our…

F: If we had a daughter, would you name her Sally Ann after Salvation Army, or Vivi after Value Village, or Goodwill after, well, Goodwill? T: No, unless you want to. Though I kind of like Goodwill after Goodwill. F:…

It was windy at -10°C so I decided to make a comparison of some free, file hosting services. Not that the weather has anything to do with file hosting services. I just felt like using a sub-zero temperature and the…

We’re getting the first serious snow of the year today. We already got some not-so-serious one last week. Basically. serious snow stays on the ground while not-so-serious snow melts as soon as it touches the ground. I love snow,…

So I just spent half an hour watching Rick Mercer Report on CBC and laughing at all the Canadian inside jokes being thrown throughout the show. All was good with the world, until I heard the Coronation Street theme song…

Because Dave asked for it, here’s a picture of the Socks. On the top row are Stripey Sock, the self-conscious monkey whose eyes keep falling off, and Troy Sock, who’s supposed to look like my husband Troy but actually…

Dude! I haven’t even been away for a month yet. I was just taking my annual leave from blogging. It was really sweet of you to miss me, though. I feel special. :) So, how have you all been? Have…
