<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Saturday, December 04, 2004 :: Started my Christmas baking with Sarah. We made: And now, off to Theresa's Christmas glog party! :: Cathy 4:30 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Friday, December 03, 2004 :: MISCELLANEA Just read another installment from Raye's newsletter. My favourite part was the Danier honesty questionnaire. Raye is always a good read. She'd mentioned The Constantines, but I checked out their site and listened to some music and wasn't keen on it. I prefer The Free Press. I wish I'd gone to their show at the Horseshoe to see how they're sounding these days. And when I was checking out these sites it occurred to me to check my own site traffic stats. Turns out that my traffic took a major dip in August-September. I guess I wasn't being very interesting. I wonder if checking my traffic affects how or what I write. I mean, how could it NOT? Then I noticed that the GTABloggers linked to me. Isn't that nice? I had no idea. I just found out right this minute that I missed their holiday party tonight. Boo! Their site's not bad. Some pretty good T.O. events. :: Cathy 8:49 PM [+] :: 2 comments Friday night and I'm BEAT. I finally put up some pictures on the walls. Weirdly, I feel unhungry lately. Not very interested in food. Except coffee, of course. Good strong rich coffee. I mean, if it were made here, of course. The best coffee I've had was in Australia. I really miss it. My faves: :: Cathy 7:09 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 :: Yippee! 1. I'm done my Web Strategy class! 2. I'm surfing for deals on Xmas gifts (ie: christmas is fast approaching!!) :: Cathy 7:32 PM [+] :: 0 comments Back when I actually used to cook, I used to consider myself a bit of a foodie. At that time, I was enamored with Epicurious. And, don't get me wrong, it's still good, but I have fallen in LOVE. AllRecipes.com Not only can I very very easily save my recipes to my recipe box, but I can add selected recipes to my SHOPPING LIST and it creates the grocery shopping list for me. Plus, it has a recipe clipboard that shows you all the recipes that you've clicked on recently, and you can bookmark them for future use. And the Search. I don't know if I should even start about the search. You can search by ingredient, by category, by the Top Ten, by the amount of time you have, or by the person who submitted the recipe. Goodness. That is a seriously GREAT search engine. It boggles my mind that I'm fighting to convince my Tech team that we need to make minor revisions to our search function when something like THIS exists. And that's all good... but get THIS: You can convert any recipe to METRIC or change the number of servings with a simple click. I am drooling. I wish I'd built this dream tool. :: Cathy 5:51 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Monday, November 29, 2004 :: Ohmygosh I am back online. My oh-so-smart-tech-guy-at-work fixed it and I think he deserves a raise. I am oh-so-excited about having my computer back! ~kisses computer~ :: Cathy 4:36 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Sunday, November 28, 2004 :: Back in Toronto after a quick stay with my parents. You know, it never seems like I have enough time there/with them. This time, I decided I was gonna go to church. And I surprised myself by liking it. I looked around at the packed hall with all the children and their mothers and fathers holding them, or arms draped over their shoulders, sharing something. The families who couldn't give a hoot about fashion, but content as hell because they have their wife and their children and their little jobs they do to pay for the house and the gymnastics classes and the weekends when they go for an hour to give thanks for all their life's riches. And it made me at once sad and hopeful. Sad for myself because that's a brand of contentedness that I don't foresee for myself anytime soon. Hopeful, because it was that family closeness that I thought was gone in the world. After seeing day after day of parents verbally abusing their small children as they struggle up the TTC steps and make their meandering way to their seat, staring at the strangers, I wonder how children can possibly grow up to love themselves when even I feel so much bitterness emanating from their frustrated parents. It was a nice way to reflect on the week and on my life ahead. I wondered if perhaps I need to feed my soul more often. And now it's time to focus on my class project on Web Strategy. Feels pretty frivolous after some of the thoughts I've had today. Perhaps this is why those with faith have been shown to be happier people. Perspective. :: Cathy 3:25 PM [+] :: 0 comments
