Loyal readers (Hi Mom! Hi Granny!) may remember my post last year about the NHL playoffs. If not, click here for hilarious accounts of crazy things men do for sports.

As you may have noticed, I’ve ben avoiding writing a post for almost two weeks. This is for a reason. Not a great reason, mind you. But a reason none the less. My reason is as follows: it will be my last post of my Girl Meets Canada series. Because my road trip is over. It’s [...]

With the snow…and the cold…BURR! But the rest of Canada, you should know something. We’re faking. We’re lying to your face. And my proof is that [...]
How many jalapenos does one girl need? To answer that question, let me take you back a few weeks. I was invited along to the movies by my friend Bev and her daughter, Aubrey. We buy our tickets, and then this conversation takes place: Aubrey: Ohmygod, have you ever had jalapenos on popcorn?Me: What? Aubrey: [...]
