bookmark_borderNever too old to learn something new

Posted on by Christine Elias

Things I learned this week:

  1. Some people — people who seem quite pleasant and decent — are not. Indeed they can be downright despicable. Oh wait, I actually learned this lesson at age 7 but I was reminded of this side of human nature this week. Some people suck.
  2. I love my friend P. He makes me happy whenever I see him — which is not often enough. He’s a person who does not suck.
  3. Professional courtesy goes a long way.
  4. My new lime green Chucks garner a lot of attention in the workplace. So what if they have no arch support — they are the cutest things I own.

Posted on by Christine Elias

Usually I like to walk down Huron on my way home — it’s quiet and leafy.

But sometimes I walk down Augusta and every time I do, I ask myself: why don’t I come to Kensington Market more often.

And then I remember…

Kensington is like a crazy friend who you can only meet for coffee so often.

I love it there. The smells the food, the cheese, the fruit, the vegetables, the spices, the vintage shops, the hipsters and the little old people. But it’s hectic and crowded and I can only take that in small (but frequent) doses.

I walked that way today because I needed to go the hardware store and I was also on a mission to buy an apron.

Not only did I find two great aprons, I also bought a cobbler apron. Yes, the kind older Eastern European ladies enjoy — except mine is solid black, not a floral print.
