Whirlwind Weekend at the Whispering Woods in Welches

Published by Carolyn August 14th, 2008 in jake and travel. 0 Comments

At the beginning of the month we took a harrowing drive down the I-5 to meet Jake’s parents at their time share in Welches, Oregon. We stopped overnight in Tumwater Washington, at the world famous Tumwater Best Western. While it lacked the vibrating bed I was hoping for, it had ample floral drapery.
The next morning […]

Weekend On Bowen Island

Published by Carolyn May 24th, 2008 in jake, monette mackay, the cottage and travel. 0 Comments

For the May 24th long weekend we had planned to head to Tofino and rent these little a-frame huts that we had stayed in in summers past, but the logistics of it all seemed too exhausting, and the ferry was already booked. So, we took the lazy man’s approach and rented a cottage on Bowen […]

A Fall in Prague

This fall Jake and I managed to get away from our busy lives and spend a week in the Czech Republic. The trip was nothing short of magical.
We flew into London and spent our first night in a teeny, tiny, orange room in Kensington. Despite being smaller than our bathroom at home and slathered in […]

Back in the saddle again

Thankfully all things Kingy are over. I’m back in Vancouver, living in my big white loft in Kitsilano. Tourtiere is still alive and well and I’m over the moon with my new job. I’m working as an account manager for lululemon. We wholesale clothes and hard goods to yoga studios, spas, and gyms - prebranding […]

Welcome Aboard

I’m spoiled rotten. For one of my Christmas presents I got an unlimited Air Canada pass. Yes, I can go anywhere the not-so-friendly giant flies.
This Saturday I’m off to Vancouver. I’ve got a big dinner with friends at Havana on Saturday night, followed by pancakes on Sunday, and a job interview on Monday. The next […]

About Me



I like short walks on long beaches and churros.

Above and beyond the aforementioned, I prefer deserts, duvets, dachshunds, $1.99 breakfasts, messy hair, mashed potatoes, sleeping in, seat sales, shoes, uva & uvb.

I work as an account manager for lululemon athletica, ballyhooing nylon lycra and selling tight pants to midwesterners.

I live in a big, white loft in Vancouver near the beach.

I'm happiest when I am sitting or eating toast with hot sauce.

Where Can You Find Me?

I am often in my house above Zulu Records, in Kitsilano.

Sometimes I am at work.

Other times I am on the balcony or near coffee or on a beach or at Holt Renfrew or at Bikrams or in the Okanagan or on an easyJet flight bound somewhere delightful like Brno.

You might find me there.

But if you can't you can call my cell phone. I may not answer. I'm quite partial to the parcel post.
