On behalf of receptionists and office admins everywhere, no one wants to hear your Reels/Tik Toks/Facetime/ speaker phone conversations Turn your volume all the way down or go outside.

Wallpaper time! What's your phone's lock screen.

I'm doing an event in Hamilton, Ontario on July 12!

Post a random pic & June will be full of blessings ✨

Dammit Leafs whyyyyyyyy are you like this?!? It’s a team sport and your goalie is doing all the work?

Game seven. We need a win. Go Leafs Go!

I know it’s kind of cheesy, but the quote, “Comparison is the thief of joy” in my 30s was a game changer for me.

The older one get the more I've realized that a lot of people interpret, "but for the grace of God go I" to mean that they're specially blessed and not that their bounties come from quirks of chance as much as anything

Movie you’ve seen more than six times, no Star Wars or Trek or LOTR

Many advance polling centres are open today for the Canadian federal election. Happy to see a big turnout this morning. You don’t get to complain if you don’t vote!

Combating some workplace burnout with season 15 of Great British Bake-Off. The joy on this show is so refreshing.

The most recent ones are Too Sweet by Hozier and Beautiful Things by Benson Boone. I just can’t.

Was in Cuba earlier this month and snapped a couple pictures of some early 2000s Russian and French (French Canadian?) Harlequin editions in the resort lending library. Made me think of @collectingromance.bsky.social

Would love a reverse swear jar where I put a dollar in and it gives me a new and exciting expletive to use

Found this beauty at the re-Source Thrift Shop and my Historical Romance loving self immediately wanted to buy it, but my practical self reminded me that I have a small house. 😭😭

Florida used to be *the* hotspot for March Break travel from Canada. This year my Facebook/Instagram feeds were full of families travelling to Cuba, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. The US gov’t doesn’t respect us and is no longer safe we’re going elsewhere.

Air travel to US from Canada is down 70%. Canadians are taking the threat to their sovereignty very seriously. If you’re still traveling to the U.S. for pleasure, stop. It’s not safe, and no one should be supporting fascism. This is about so much more than a missed vacation. Take a stand.

Elbows up, Canada.

If this was true we’d have way better Mexican food options.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theatre.

Hey!! It’s my home town on the tv!

That moment of joy when the stain on the dress you got on clearance for $2 (because of the stain) comes out in the wash. Yay!

No they don’t. Canada and Mexico want none of this. They want the president of the United States to respect and abide by the trade treaty he negotiated with them - and not make up bogus pretexts for plunging us all into a gratuitous no win economic debacle.

Just going to drop this here for my fellow Canucks. madeinca.ca/grocery-stor...

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Who is your celebrity “birthday twin” (born same day as you) (Different year.)

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

The first movie you and your partner went on a date to see. There is a stampede of flaming cows in the first 5 minutes.

Sat through Kraven The Hunter. It was genuinely awful. Bad dialogue, disjointed storyline and not enough eye-candy from the attractive male lead to make up for either of those. Just craptacular.

We’re about to get a fair amount (in my region) of snow over night, but I have a threading appointment across town tomorrow morning. For the love of my eyebrows I need to get to that appointment. Begging Mother Nature for an intervention.

Really enjoyed this! Sweet, spicy and moving. Great world building and reimagining of how the North Pole and the Clauses make Christmas magic happen.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Lots of fun! $1.39 on Amazon.ca, well worth it. www.amazon.ca/Riding-Nick-...

As a 40-something who grew up on Rankin-Bass movies, works a client-facing job and loves a good laugh and a spicy read, Riding Nick by Suleikha Snyder was exactly what I needed this festive season. Funny, hot and currently on sale - read it and enjoy! #romancelandia www.amazon.ca/Riding-Nick-...

Today’s thought: You know that mirror you use? The 10x magnification one? Nobody else sees you like that. Stop being so hard on yourself and leave that tiny blemish alone, it’s going to get infected.

Finished season 1 of Dr. Odyssey, otherwise known as Horny Boat Doctor. Thanks for the rec #Romancelandia ! My husband and I rarely enjoy the same shows. This one was a winner.

Agreed! It has been Black Friday in some stores since the 1st of November and the deals aren’t even great. What’s the actual point other than marketing and trying to trick consumers.

Staff development day, where my boss unleashes a brand new series of workplace protocols during our busiest time of year while each of our offices is understaffed and working the bare minimum hours. At least I know the snacks will be good.

Love it!

Started my day by putting hot sauce in my coffee instead of on my eggs. It can only go up from here. Right?

Me at 17: “Oh my God! Look what I found at the thrift store! Vintage size 3 Levi’s bell bottom jeans!!” Me at 44: “Oh my God! Look what I found at the thrift store! A butter bell!! Aging is fun

My shift today was not great. It’s Monday 🤷🏼‍♀️ Halfway through my day I went to my car to bring in one of those Kirkland cases of 40 water bottles. As I picked it up, the bottles fell out all over the parking lot. A random group of guys helped me pick them up. There’s still good, kind people out there

Message for bosses everywhere. Please note: dropping new training protocols on your staff that involve watching hours of training videos be script memorization during the busiest time of the year is the worst.
