Guest Post XVII

The final guest post is up today. Not a very long post – in fact it is really just an altered photo to interpret Chris’ trip to Iceland. Check it out.

Guest Post XVI

What I believe to be the second last post over at Always Standing went up a few days ago. It is all about my and Chris’ trip to England way back in 2008.

Guest Post XII, XIII, XIV and XV

The guest posts over on Always Standing are starting to wind down now (I wrote a total of 17 posts and we are apparently up to number 15). That being said, I have been slacking in letting you know of their existence so here is a longer post about each of the guest posts I have missed.

Post XII was supposed to be about Russian vodka but now that I try to create a link, it seems to be blank now...interesting...will have to inform Chris about that. Either way, perhaps it is jus tmy computer or perhaps it will be fixed shortly so check it out in a little while.

In the meantime, check out Post XIII. This is a more in depth post about my weight loss blog Road to a Better Me. I talk about my past success and also my current inspirations for joining Curves and taking a better stab at making my life healthier.

Post XIV is all about Ottawa Festivals. They are a wonderful aspect of this beautiful city that I really enjoy. Of course my favourite is the Tulip Festival, as any of my readers will know, but I also enjoy Winterlude and some of the smaller festivals in town. Greekfest just ended and The Gatineau Balloon Festival is coming up shortly.

And finally (for now at least) Post XV was just posted today and is all about My and Dave's morning routine. It's pretty short so a really easy read if you don't have a lot of time this morning.

That is all of them until XVI and XVII are posted in the next week or so. Chris comes back to Canada in a little while so no more guest posts then, but many more (regular) posts from the world traveller - which I know I am excited about.

Guest Posts X and XI

So once again I have gotten behind in the guest post updates over on Always Standing. The two latest ones are rather different from each other. Guest Post X is a recipe for peanut butter cookies, one of two peanut butter based foods that Chris likes. Guest Post XI is a brief synopsis of my trip to Stonehenge and my attempt to describe what that meant to me. I didn't succeed in getting it across really, just as I didn't when I wrote out my journal for the trip either, but it is still a pretty good attempt and has a photo to boot!

Guest Posts VIII and IX

Oops...it appears I missed informing you of two of my guest posts over on Always Standing. My posts about the magical Super Freeze button and my 5 favourite gifts are now posted and ready for you to enjoy.

Guest Post VII

The third and final installment of my Planes, Trains and Automobiles is up on Always Standing today.

Guest Post VI

Part 2 of Planes Train and Automobiles is up on Always Standing.

Pretty Disappointed

If you read Chris' blog, Always Standing, then you will have heard about the neat things some of her friends and co-workers did for her big trip (like hat photos, photo pins and finger puppets). I mention this because I am pretty disappointed in myself for not doing something. I thought about it and came up with a few ideas, but thought that Chris wouldn't have room for the things in her luggage or time to deal with them. I don't know why I came to these conclusions as it is a very Chris thing to do (games, etc for her trip). I have been working on a few things for later on when she returns, but nothing for her current 'travelling' status. Though I did work extra hard and wrote something like 17 guest writer posts for her blog.
Anyway, props to those that did what I apparently could not and made her trip a little more friend-filled, they are all such great ideas.

Guest Post V

My fifth guest spot over on Always Standing is the beginning of a three-post series called Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The posts are predominantly about travel in the three forms and memorable trips I have taken using each. Check it out. :)

Guest Post IV

“Vegas Baby” is going up on Always Standing today. My fourth guest post is about a future trip Dave and I intend on taking to Las Vegas.

Guest Post III

My third guest post entitled “Top Ten” is going up on Always Standing today. This one is a review of the Top Ten travel books. Check it out.

Guest Post II

My second guest post over on Always Standing is entitled “Over the Years” and is a photo collection of Chris over the last 7 years.

Guest Post I

While she is away Chris has asked for guest posts over on Always Standing. Today marks the first of my guest posts entitled, “Nothing to Say”. The post is about why I chose to start each of my blogs and  blogging in general.
