Today’s embarrassing moment.
Going into work, I half-dropped my full coffee mug, caught it, and said “ninja skillz” aloud to myself. Some guy heard me, and then we had to share an elevator for 8 floors of utter silence.
I’m definitely asking for Tangled for Christmas. That movie just makes me so happy!

TRAVEL: Montreal bound
Roadtrips are my favorite budget vacations. Four people, one car, and hours upon hours of driving to a brand new destination.

This summer, I’m heading to Montreal for the first time. The only other Canadian city I’ve ever traveled to is Toronto, which I loved. I hear that Montreal is very European-esque (plus, there’s awesome public transportation systems and bike paths throughout the city), and these are some of the things I’d love to check out:
- The world’s largest Jazz Festival, with a ton of free performances in the city.
- Public Markets/Restaurants: Montreal is famous for its food!
- Walk/bike up Mount Royal: From the summit, there’s a great panoramic view of Montreal.
- Old Montreal: historic part of the city, supposedly very old-European-village-ish
- Montreal Botanical Gardens: 31 specialized gardens, including the largest Chinese Garden outside Asia and a Japanese Garden with a tearoom and fabulous bonsai collection.
- Outdoor Ballroom Dancing: June-August, 3 nights/week. Always free lessons for a diverse crowd of people.
- Museums: There are a lot, from fine art to contemporary art, plus science museums, etc.
- Notre-Dame Basilica: Apparently it’s gorgeous, and a must-see.
- En Prison tour: 90-minute tours of the former Trois-Rivières prison, En Prison. The tours are led by former convicts.
Sounds awesome, right? And all of this is on a $500 total budget, which you can’t beat for 5 days! Plus, there’s the whole Underground City, which is a concept I’m madly in love with (those crazy Canadians think of everything!).
And thanks to a tip from my travel-veteran boss, we’re renting a condo in the city via HomeAway.com instead of staying at a hotel, for a more authentic Montreal-ian experience! (But for hotels, gotta love TripAdvisor.)
If you’ve ever been to Montreal, let me know of any must-sees I’ve missed!
THE WINDOW! If you have a single creative bone in your body, you must see the window in this post!
I got serious about my writing twenty years ago. Since then I’ve written in a closet, in an attic, in a basement, on the front seat of the car, at basketball and soccer and swim practices, in more hotels than I’d like to remember, and for two memorable years whilst living in a small apartment,…

Wash: Were I unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion.
Kaylee: ‘Cause I’m pretty?
