Did you have a good weekend? We had take-out Chinese food friday night for dinner and my fortune cookie told me that, “Now is a good time to explore”. Sooo…. I let myself overindulge in some serious blog surfing over the last couple days. I’ve also finally gotten myself on Google Reader to organize all my blog reading. What a delight! Now I can read even more blogs every day, make notes, add tags and file away the things I want to remember. I feel like an efficient secretary with a well labeled filing cabinet.
I discovered some amazing new blogs that are already quick favourites – Ill Seen, Ill Said and Lobster & Swan top that list. You must visit, they will make your Monday. (or any day)
I also updated my blogroll, so now is good time for YOU to explore too!
My Saturday night was spent peering out my bedroom window watching over a dozen police and SWAT team point their firearms at my neighbours’ houses while they tracked down a robbery suspect who was hiding in one of the backyards across the street!






Hi Karyn; I can’t believe it took me this long to find your blog! I still get the workroom updates and I’m so jealous I’m no longer in the neighbourhood to take your classes. I’ll be visiting in February though! I miss Maizie too!!
OMG!
I instantly thought of you when I heard on the CBC that the robber was found on Campbell Street.
I hope your neighbour is ok (and you too!)
Ah, our hood is so delightful sometimes.
1. Google Reader is blowing my mind. How did I live without this magical tool of efficiency?! Thank you for mentioning it, Karyn.

Maybe you already know this blog, but I just discovered it today and am in love. …not sure if it’s technically illegal?
That is an amazing fortune cookie!
And yes, Google Reader = love.
Also, Google Reader = time suck.
Wow – thank you so much for the mention. I’m delighted to add your blog to the list I’m following too!! So happy to meet
Jane
that is the best fortune ever. ever.
and thanks for adding me to your blog roll.
Thanks for adding me to your blog roll Karyn, I am so behind on blogging right now! I would love to have some free time to sit and while away the hours jumping from one blog to another – I used to do that so much and now I feel like I really took the joy of it for granted! Still manage to catch up with my favourites at the weekends though
