What’s this blog about anyway?

Posted in Uncategorized by

I think maybe I’ve found a point for this here blog. Something relatively worth following. Mostly I honestly have nothing going on. But as I sit down and think about it, I do have “dreams and aspirations”. Things I enjoy doing and things I’d like to achieve. Things that are personal that might be therapeutic to share. And all I really want in a blog is to have tabs running across so that all of my utterings are neatly organized :).

So… what are the topics I will be discussing in the upcoming … uh, rest of my life?

1. Making a baby
Yip, we’re trying to get pregnant. And when I say “we”, I mean me. The hubster is still on the fence. Now some might say that these decisions need to be made as couple and I while agree, both of us are knocking on 32’s door and the time really is now (or at least before I’m 35). I’m on month 4 of no birth control and everyone around me is pregnant so, while we’re not seriously trying, I am getting increasingly anxious and it’s always been my dream to have children. Follow me as I describe what it’s like to attempt to get pregnant when you’re 31.

2. Losing weight
Boooriiiing… I might actually change it to “My fight to quit drinking in an effort to fit into this pair of jeans I have hanging in my closet that, I swear, fit me a few weeks ago… How did I get this fat?!… FML“.

3. House Renovations
This one I’m actually excited about and should’ve done ages ago. Hub and I are adding an extra bathroom and master bedroom upstairs and we’re doing it all by ourselves. And by “ourselves” I mean “himself” because I mostly just whine about how heavy everything is. I also make sure there’s always an ice cold beer on hand. renovating is thirsty work.

4. My Past
I really want to document stories of my university days and more importantly stories of the guys I used to date and ones my friends dated. We always have a great laugh and I want to try my hand at getting those laughs on “paper”…. names will be changed to protect the parties involved 🙂

And that’s what you (and I) can expect from me… But until then, it’s time for a beer!!!

The Non-Blogging Blogger

Posted in Uncategorized by

Yip, that’s me… But in my defense, a lot has happened in the past two weeks and since blogging is new, it’s not really high up on the list. so let me catch you up.

We got a new kitty!! We already have two beautiful furry kids. I’m actually married into the family. Spaz is 5 and Tweak is 7ish I’m told. I was never an animal person. My family had a Siamese cat (Mr Bigglesworth) who was killed in a hit-and-run and we couldn’t go through the hurt of saying goodbye to another furry family member. Of course there was a hamster and some unfortunate goldfish but Mr Bigglesworth was the one.

As I was saying. It took me a while to fall in love with Spaz and Tweak but as with any of these stories, they end up with me having a face full of cat fur kissing cat bellies.

I don’t know how but it was my suggestion to get a new baby. I feel like it was partly because my pet fish plan wasn’t working out and partly because I’m obsessed with having a real baby, maybe a furry baby will be a temporary fix. In that regard I feel like it’s true. I say that because hubby is sitting next to me right now trying to get our little princess to go to sleep.

A friend of a friend had a litter who needed homes and it was love at first sight. Her name is Trinity and it didn’t take her long to become the queen of the house. She seems to have complete power of her new brothers who are more than twice her size and hubby and I are already arguing about who loves her more.

She never walks, she only runs. She hunts everything and pounces on everyone. You aren’t safe and you will be scratched everyday. But when she finally falls asleep on your lap, I promise, you wouldn’t want it any other way.

Welcome to the family Trinity.

Dreams Do Come True

Posted in Food, Uncategorized by

yesterday was a 3 chocolate kinda day. i shamefully ate a twix, caramello bar and a three muskateers bar… in the space of an hour. pms has been getting worse since I took myself off birth control. yes, I have been known to be a tad dramatic, but dagnabbit I wanted chocolate okay.

when i got home i climbed into bed next my husband who was concentrating on something on the computer. i began whining about how tough my day was and how much the world hates me. i can’t keep my fish alive. i was so tired. i still had to cook dinner and the kitchen was (and still is) gross. i was cramping and bloated and i hated myself for skipping the gym this morning. wah wah wah.

my angel said he’d hook dinner up (heat up left overs) and suggested i go lay on the couch and catch up on all the chelsea lately i missed last week. what a saint. i felt bad for a split second when i remembered he’s been battling with a severely herniated disc in his lower back and hasn’t been able to walk properly for over a month. the couch was really comfy though and the blankets, so toasty.

tit bit number 2… i love chelsea handler. i wish we were friends. in my head i believe we are friends. she always seems to brighten my day and last night was no different. in the midst of their hilarious banter on the round table, chelsea read a headline that, if it comes into being, will be the single greatest thing to happen to my tummy since cheese.

MCDONALD’S MIGHT MAKE THEIR BREAKFAST MENU AVAILABLE ALL DAY, PEOPLE…

now i know it isn’t here yet but in times like these i simply have to quote joey tribiani … “if you want something bad enough and your heart is pure, wondrous things can happen!”

 

A New Nothing…

Posted in Uncategorized by

first post… wow… anyway, first things first. i do not use capital letters unless it’s really important. if this bothers you, stop reading my blog :).

now what was i saying? oh… i got a new hair cut on tuesday… short… see my before and after pic… i don’t have an intro paragraph about myself. i feel like if i do that you’ll realize how boring my life is and you wont want to read. so i’ll let you in on little snippets as we go along. especially since i don’t know where i’m going with this whole thing anyway…

sooo first little snippet. i am OBSESSED with hair… especially curly hair. i spent most of my life relaxing my hair to the point of no return. i eventually moved to a new country and didn’t know anyone who relaxed their hair to the point of no return and thus began my (as my dear hubby puts it) seriously unhealthy obsession with curls. i am on every curly blog and i spend too much time watching curly hair youtube vids. shut up. i’ve made my peace with it.

so long story short. i put my faith in the internet gods and found a stylist that would remove my nasty straight ends and reveal to me how beautiful my curls can be.

enter richard of the jon richard salon. a saint of a man who never took of his blazer all through the process. washing, cutting and styling. i knew it was a match made in heaven when he sat me down, stared at my hair with a furrowed brow and started asking about my routine and giving hair advice left right and center. if ever i wanted to kiss a man other than my husband, this would be it.

suffice it to say, he is my new hair stylist. i love him and i want him to be my future child’s god father. i have never been this happy about my hair. it feels great. so great, in fact, that i woke up early the next morning and went to the gym before work. so great, that i finally, after months of talk talk talk, started my very own blog about nothing.

so great… so great…

but this is NOT a hair blog 🙂
