a peek inside the fishbowl

Back. Although not entirely so.

 Emma, Mark, and the lighthouse

It feels good to be home after a long trip away… yes, good, even though the sea monkeys are decimated and my hair is askew and there’s no laundry detergent and something in the fridge is rotting and one of my plants is Very Very Dead. AND I would like to say, for the record, that IF I SEE ANOTHER FRENCH FRY I MIGHT DIE.

I’ll post more about our trip in a bit (I have 900 photos to go through!), but I wanted to say that I’ve missed you all and am glad to be home.

So tell me, what’s new with you?

It’s summer, and summer = reruns here at the Fishbowl. But don’t click the Back button just yet. I’m reposting some of my favourite posts from the past.

BEWARE OF HEART MELTAGE.

Sarah sings.

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!
