The goods

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

It’s Frrriiiiiday. I thought it would never get here.

Some fun and interesting things have been happening in my corner of the blogosphere lately. And I haven’t had time to write about any of them. A sample:

  • I was interviewed on CHUO the other day about the business of blogging. I am struggling to trim the recording get it online at the moment, but as I’m doing that I wanted to let you know that Annie, Shannon and I are giving a seminar about blog monetization for Ottawa PWAC peeps downtown at the Ottawa library on Saturday afternoon! Woot! 
  • The draw for the 4Cats giveaway is on Monday. Have you entered??
  • Know More Do More! We’re sprouting lentils over the weekend. Join in the lentilicious fun! Heh.
  • Twestival! Did you go? I am still floating.
  • Remember my last reno post? The owner of one of the homes I photographed contacted me and we’re having dinner at her place this weekend. (!)

Life is so kooky and fun sometimes it just kills me.

You certainly are a busy lady, and this post was just a sample! Sorry that I never had a chance to chat with you at TwestivalOTT last night but happy that so many people made it out and that it was such a great success.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
