Tuesday Morning Link Fest: Baileys in Coffee at the Office Edition
Today is the annual Christmas pot luck at work. Unfortunately since my husband was unable to slave away making a tuna pasta salad for me to bring in this year, I stopped off at a grocery store downtown before coming in. I decided to duck into the new IGA Marketplace on Robson and Richards. It seems decent enough and sells lots of organic products with a heart-stoppingly good looking deli but its prices are what you’d expect for downtown (meaning, also heart-stopping but in a bad way). It’s pretty cramped in there so I would advise against doing any big grocery orders, two carts would barely be able to pass each other in an aisle. Watch for Homesense opening up above the IGA in the weeks ahead as well.
Here’s what’s making headlines in my world this morning:

We’re gonna make sure to get in a twonie skate at the community centre, other than that… we’ll just be out in Surrey.

When the December/January sun is out … a walk along Spanish Banks or the Seawall or a trip up to Grouse to dwell in what snow lies up top … in the annual reminder of how it’s just ever possible and plausible to live in the city of Vancouver.
Well the missus and I went out and murdered a tree in Mission last week. Its mounted carcass now graces our living room. We’ve done that (at a different tree farm each time) for several years now. The local tree farms range from pretty full-featured (snack bar in the barn, complicated tree-binding machine for safe transport) to pretty austere (trees, a few saws).
Also, I usually make a pig out of myself and drink egg nog, and complain about not riding my bicycle enough.
[...] to. Thankfully I’ve booked a guaranteed spot on the “loser cruiser” because, as Rebecca mentioned the other day, BC Ferries are anticipating a ridiculous amount of traffic, and thus [...]
