And no, this isn’t going to be another plea for me to get my ticket paid for. ALTHOUGH I’D REALLY LIKE IT IF I WON THAT CONTEST) and I admit- I did something for that trip I never thought I’d do.
And up until this second, I have never told anyone.
When I went to Vegas, I went with hair extensions.
And right now you are all- eye rolling and saying “girl, please. I thought you were going to give up something juicy like …READ MORE
Because I hate contests that only have one winner, I bought another set so there could be two! Hooray! Fancy shampoo for everyone! Except not really. Because only these two people won- Amie and Kelly. Congrats ladies, email me your address to claim your prize.
And to those of you who have emailed me condolences regarding Big Brother- thank you. I’m not yet able to talk about that whole situation without using my screechy voice.
August 21st, 2011 in beauty can get ugly, confession of the day, earning my dork badge, famous people make for good gossip, i wrote this just for the picture, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, MY BIRTHDAY, pretty hair makes me happier, the last line is my favourite So let’s get to the most important part of this post first.
Am I the only one in love with Jeff and Jordan?

Okay, that took me over an hour to get that picture up there. Because I got sucked into spoiler websites and NOW I KNOW WHO WINS POV THIS WEEK. NOOOOOOOOOO. It’s like unwrapping your Christmas presents before Christmas. You WANT to know, but you don’t really want to know. Sigh. I need someone to take the internet away from me.
But back to my favourite people on television. These two are …READ MORE
June 19th, 2011 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, Annie Lebowitz is so jealous, because I can't do report cards 24/7, brookem is awesome!, earning my dork badge, i wrote this just for the picture, if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, it's a long one (twss), lists, mindful happiness, people i like, pretty hair makes me happier, self improvement, teaching, top 10 Yes to big ideas. Not to marriage proposals. So just… get that thought of the way. (If you listen quietly, you can hear my mom weeping).
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about saying Yes. I wrote about branching out and creating a list of 10 liberating and slightly irresponsible choices and using the month of June to jump into the deep scary end of the ocean of living. Here is the list and what I’ve done so far…
1. Instead of skipping out on the bill (which was suggested in the original list- which? Is too …READ MORE
May 30th, 2011 in a possible regret, adventure, because "guilt" is a dirty word, fingers crossed this works, games we play, i like scotch & table dancing, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, just say yes, lists, pretty hair makes me happier, self improvement, tequila consequences, the less i worry the happier i am

So one of my friends emailed me this and it pretty much consumed me with reckless, uninhibited glee. Sort of like how you would feel if you were perched in Hawaii, taking a bath in chocolate sauce, listening to your favourite song after finding the Hope diamond in your sock drawer, when Ryan Reynolds comes in and offers to paint your nails. Shirtless.
As much as I adore lists- I’ve never been a “Life List” girl. My wants- my over the top suddenly I can’t die happy unless this happens, ultimate guide to unparalleled joy wants, change pretty regularly. If life …READ MORE
Alright. So first? Major credit to people who hold contests and know how to manage all the twitter entries, facebook entries and smoke signals people can send up in order to win. It took me roughly 32 minutes to figure out how to take a screenshot of the winner.
Let’s bask in this:
Are you amazed as I am? Probably not, but still. My mom (who still calls it ‘the internets’) would be pleased. Congratulations Rachel! Secondly, I’m fairly confident that no one is reading this because people always stop reading after they realize that they didn’t win. Because …READ MORE
January 18th, 2010 in beauty can get ugly, because "guilt" is a dirty word, confession of the day, earning my dork badge, find the dorkiest sentence in this, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, harry potter, i am slowly going crazy, i complain because I care, i like cupcakes more than gluten, i may write about the west wing forever, i'm hot like fire, it happened this week, it's almost like a meme, lists, oh dear, p.s. i love me, pretty hair makes me happier, proof i attract crazy, quote of the day, reinforcing stereotypes since 1981, right on my sleeve, secrets, sometimes i get violent, the last line is my favourite, the one that nobody reads because of the title, this makes me sound dumber than i am 1. When I go to Starbucks, I become irrationally worried that I’m going to forget my order. I will spend the entire time stuck in the drive thru saying my order on repeat. But attempting to say it casually as well, so I don’t come off as a *robot. (Because yes, that’s a serious concern I have- people mistaking me for a robot). “Venti, non-fat, no whip, white hot chocolate, Venti, non-fat, no whip, white hot chocolate. Why yes, it IS cold out today. Oh you like my hair? Thank you! What would I like? Oh that’s easy, Venti, non-fat, …READ MORE
September 29th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, a possible regret, are you there God? It's me- ripping off Judy Blume, because "guilt" is a dirty word, confession of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i know- we all LOVE him, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it's not you it's me, it's okay- you can skim this one, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, lists, man I'm such a girl, oh dear, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., pretty hair makes me happier, proof i attract crazy, things I don't say outloud, today has been crummy, when i ask you to do things for me, when i say it anyway, when it doesn't go my way, you're skimming this one I have a healthy ego. I regularly am delighted by my talents (like knowing all the words to this song – just for you Ben), nod in agreement when people tell me I’m great (I assure you, this is a little more adorable and far less annoying than I just made it sound), and marvel at my genius. But people? I’ve got faults. Heaps of them. Truckloads of them. So many that you could stack them up, climb on top of them and touch the moon with your fingertips.
See? I wasn’t kidding.
September has been an amazing month but …READ MORE
August 26th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, because US health care makes me sad, confession of the day, disappointment, Gore makes green sexy, here is my heart, if you're shallow and you know it clap your hands!, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it makes sense to me, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, it's the environment stupid, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, let's still be friends?, love or something like it, man I'm such a girl, men, my passive aggressiveness is devastating, no i haven't gotten laid, people i like, pretty hair makes me happier, relationships, so egan will LOVE this, something I won't forget, the one that nobody reads because of the title, things I don't say outloud, this one is about you, vague is vogue, Wednesday nights make me frisky, when i say it anyway I knew a guy once who had the annoying habit of cracking his knuckles before sleep. It drove me INSANE. Nothing is more unsettling than drifting off and being awakened by a large CRACK!, followed by nine more CRACKS! . (Well, of course there are things more unsettling than this but it really does make my top five- sandwiched in between being woken up by someone staring at you and finding out that your ex-boyfriend used to masturbate to your grade 9 graduation photo. Bullet? Dodged.).
So, I did what any girl who loves sleep more than she should- I …READ MORE

Yeah. I TOTALLY know what you are thinking. Ohhhh, now that she’s got a new job and NOW she believes in miracles, what a whore.
Okay, maybe not the ‘whore’ bit.
I’ve been thinking lately about how I need to work on recognizing happiness. I’m always good at knowing when I WAS happy, but I often forget to appreciate the moment I AM happy. It’s one of those things- you don’t realize how good it is until it’s over (there’s a country song in there somewhere). I tend to be …READ MORE
