Chugging coffee on this International Women’s Day, which I will spend working with an amazing group of women, teaching a group of girls about the joy, challenge, resilience, courage, and fun that curling can bring, for a lifetime.

Whaddaya know, we came second in the bonspiel! #curling

When you’re in a pirate bonspiel, start with hammer and convert…arrr the only thing to do is STEAL the next four ends. #pirates #curling

To my Canadian friends, an acquaintance started a petition to allow US transgender citizens to claim refugee status here. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... If you’re Canadian please sign it. If you’re not, please share ❤️

This is the way our opponents were making shots last night @scibri.com

I once went from 0-100 in the Patch so fast that, the next morning when he saw me, Jamie Koe pointed his finger at me and said, “you, you are a menace!”with awe and respect in his tone.

How do you fit those in your pocket or bag and nonchalantly exit the building ? 🥌 🪨

I made some more things. Experimental bubble underglaze, covering up an underglaze mistake successfully on the mugs, and successfully glazing the largest piece I’ve ever made - destined to be a pot for my lemon tree. #ceramics #pottery

Post a pic you took no context to bring some Zen to the feed.

Apparently our team came top of the Thursday night league and both @scibri.com and I have no idea how that happened? Maybe because I’ve been away a lot. On to the playoffs 🥌

I'm incredibly proud of my own tiny contribution to the work Vicki and @nthlstrgn.bsky.social do with @chco-tv.bsky.social

Your town needs a Vicki but you can’t have our Vicki. ❤️

I do know Vicki and she is absolutely what your town needs.

Where I am: working at my desk. Where I am not: installing ice for the Brier. Guess where I would rather be?

Had our first training lesson with the dog trainer and it turns out Ernie is good at canicross. But we are both out of shape. So I have a new running buddy but we need to start couch to 5k style. :)

This. Shot. 🔥

Me nerves.

I don't think we are out of the woods yet

My boy Mitch!

Ok we need to have a Bark in the Park in Toronto, Blue Jays. And all dogs named Ernie get a doggy bandana. #BlueJays #Victorybarks

I think I need to make a hat for this turtle. Or Mayhaps a jolly companion to ride on the shell. Any ideas for hats or buddies? #ceramics

Finally finishing off this fingerless mitt. If it looks familiar it’s because I was knitting it in the stands at the Curling Trials between ice shifts.

GOOOOOO NB!! way to go Courtney !

YAS NB gets it done!

Deep breaths, folks. Arguing on the internet never solved anything. #curling

Post your childhood family vehicle Can’t beat this combo

Shirts match rocks. #curling #Olympics

The Littlest Hobo strikes again.

This is a wonderful column about the vital function of the curling club as a social connection You’re not gonna see this facet at the Olympics, you just need to see it for yourself

I have eaten all the things also, but unless you want me to vomit, do not feed me blue cheese or black liquorice.

nothing in the rule book says a dog CAN’T be in the olympics

Made it to Fredericton. Getting a hotel room. Rescued a friend whose battery died in the long term parking lot with a jump. Sleep. Now.

If I had rented a car and started driving, I’d be very close to arriving home before my flight will arrive.

Update: I am still in the airport. The delayed flight that I am on because of 2 previously delayed flights is further delayed. Chances of being a functioning human tomorrow: limited.

He is right. Though the ladies at the terminal 1 spa are my new best friends.

Another day of continuous flight delays…now faced with an 8 hour layover at Pearson. Sigh.

Won our league game tonight. Snuck some sneaky pics in 🥌 #curling

When your kid gets a scholarship for an amazing summer program, a potentially life changing experience at a private school…but it means sending him to the US for a month. And he’s trans.

I’m not thrilled to have two back to back weekend work trips to round out January, but at least one of them takes me through Mississauga on Scotties Finals weekend! #curling

Last night I returned to curling after chest infection nonsense and managed to completely mess up my delivery, missing almost every shot. @scibri.com made a beautiful double though

Thanks in part to a stellar Cameo video from Ernie Clement, @scibri.com did in fact cave and we rescued a new doggo! Of course his name is Ernie. #BlueJays #victorybarks #erndog

That’s one way to ensure there is r going room for all of us on the love seat.

Battling a chest infection thats been dragging me down for weeks. The new doggo kept me company yesterday.

As someone who works every day toward the goal of unlimited ducks I endorse this message

My lungs did not get the memo about starting the new year fresh and clean.

First ceramic project of the year is a planter for my lemon tree. I will regret narrowing in the rim later but that’s what it wanted to do. Now contemplating adding some pizazz to the sides. #pottery #ceramics #slabbuilt

Curling needs this Olympics to get new people playing it. Not everywhere. But most places have members who are older, and somewhat white. We could use showing the fun, health, and joy of this game to more people. Let's get 'em hooked. All hands on deck. We've got this.

This made my year!

And it was. Yet, there is still no second dog.

Ok folks, I’m trying to convince @scibri.com to get another dog. This includes getting Ernie Clement to make the ask!! But he’s still holding out. Help me convince him! #bluejays
