Just trying to figure all this marriage / parenthood / career business out without losing my footing and plunging into the abyss. Regular everday stuff, really.
Can't believe I'm first? Well, I tried to think of something clever, but really, just wanting to get to know you better. What do you like to do if you're not blogging, taking care of your daughter, knitting or reading... ?
You've probably already told this story a gazillion times but I really do want to know: are you huge Jane Sibery fan or how/why did you select your blog name?
How is the house-hunting going? You need to send me MLS listings for the EXACT houses you're looking at because I'm nosy! (I've been searching Waterloo listings for you, but I haven't found anything yet. Also because I'm nosy and like to look at everyone's cabinets and paint colours.)
I, too, want to know how the house hunting is going. Because I know how frustrating it can be, and yet, I enjoy it in a twisted way. Vicariously and all, you know?
Oh, and are your neighbors still speaking to you, you know, since you held out, did some research, and got the best must-sell-out deal on the block?
What ONE thing would you tell me to experience before graduating college and entering the "real" world? (I'm always hearing people talk about things they would have done - but now it's "too late...")
As a university prof, what advice would you give about going back to school for a different degree (Sociology), while still working very full-time, and maintaining sanity?
What book would you read if you had to only read one for the rest of your life? How old do you think someone should be before they get married? What are you planning to do tomorrow? (The last one is just to ask something more normal!)
Sorry for assuming your singular could be made plural. You're quite welcome to just select one question and answer that!
I'm an untenured university professor raising the world's biggest preschooler -- I work in multimedia and wet-wipes. I'm trying to learn how to be calm, and how to plaster walls.

I'm curious how you got to where you are in your profession. What led you there, and how was the journey?
Okay: Do you ever miss Northern Ontario? What book should I read next? How did you name your daughter?
I've got dozens of 'em. I'm a questioning sort.

Brain is dead on questions... sorry. I'm getting sick I think.

Every time I click over to your space I start singing a song by Jane Siberry in my head (you know the one haha). Are you an eighties kinda gal?
Do you totally miss me?

Okay, real question, did the house sale work out well for you all?
