I love pizza. My favourite toppings are mushroom, pineapple, green olives. Hit them with a couple of splashes of hot sauce…delish. I get teased a lot about those toppings, but seriously! The saltiness of the green olives combined with the sweetness of the pineapple. The mushrooms rounding the flavours out. So taste-bud good. We make … Continued
A few years ago, I along with two other rockin’ ladies — Kelly and Veronica — decided to organize an Ottawa chapter of Girl Geek Dinners (GGDOttawa). Our goal was to form a community of women with a passion for technology. Since 2009, this community has grown to over 1300 members strong and I’m incredibly honoured to count myself … Continued
if i write a sentence with no capitalization…is it like nails on a chalkboard to you? When you see a dangling participle does it make you want to grab your scissors so you can snip it off? Put it out of its misery? Or do you roll with the bad grammar punches? Well, I can … Continued
Okay not really. But kind of. Sort of. Alright, yes it’s true. My brain doesn’t want to think anymore it seems. Reading literature is too much work. I want mindless reading, thank you very much. And so, (for quite some time now) I’m hooked on romance novels. Yes I’m freely admitting it here. Smoochy, kissy, … Continued
I’m no country music fan. Flat out. I’m not. You won’t find me line dancing* or two steppin’ my way across a dance floor (for one, I’m not coordinated enough and second, I’m just not into it). However I do appreciate good music. Which means there are some country songs I like. A couple by … Continued
This summer has flown by awful fast. I can’t believe it’s September. I am stupefied over it. Even if I don’t believe the date on the calendar, I have to accept that it’s September because my allergies are driving me buggy! I want to scratch out my eyes and snip the end off my itchy … Continued
When I was in junior high school*, my home room was the library. To a bookworm like me, it was the best way to start my day. For three years the library was not just a gathering place for attendance but a place to prepare mentally for the day ahead. A sanctuary of sorts – … Continued
Fair warning. This post is rather shallow. Or reflects shallowly (word?) upon me. I’m rich in all the things that count. Like family, friends and toddler artwork. I live in a beautiful (if still somewhat dated) home in the ‘burbs. It’s a nice kind of ‘burbs…with mature trees, winding trails and beautiful parks. Walk through … Continued
Summer is just so much fun. I think this photo says it all. It’s been a busy time in the Gallant household – which is why it’s been a little like a ghost town around this blog. I miss writing. But this…this is a lot of fun too. Seriously, when was the last time you … Continued
When DH and I were on our honeymoon in St. Lucia we took a day tour around the island by boat. We were part of a large group of vacationers on the tour, about 30 of us. It was a lovely day to be out on the water, with the sun shining, music playing. Laughter … Continued
