slip n' slide.

I was originally going to write a blog post about how much I want to slide down a really long bannister, because I havent since I was a kid. However, when I wrote the title, I had an even bigger urge to use a slip n' slide instead! After much research, I found a cheap one on sale at Walmart for $20....Might have to make a quick venture after work. Talk about strange urges.

Do you get any weird ones from time to time?

sore sunday.

Yesterday I helped my friends daughter move from Ottawa to Kingston....Holy Balls was it hot outside!! The only thing that kept me going, was knowing I was going to Costco in Hull to get cheap beer! Thank goodness for that! Today was a run around errand/chore day, and I pretty much got everything accomplished! Just waiting on my last batch of cookies to come out of the oven and I will be heading to bed shortly after that! Anyways, here are my song choices this week.

There are my choices for the week. 

Take what you will, enjoy my taste, or bash it with the best of them! 

Be Well!

I'm a bully.

And I feel completely guilty about it. 

I try not to kill any bug in my home. I've saved many from murderous occasions from roommates. 

Just ask my old roomie Amanda. She was about to squish a potato bug and I rescued him by placing him in my mouth....Yep, I'm weird AND gross.

However, this year, my home has been insanely infested with Ants.

I started off innocently enough, by looking up natural methods of deterring them away from inside my home. I tried wiping counters constantly, making sure no food products were left out, placed around vinegar trays, sage leaves, chalk lines, but on Saturday morning...

I had enough. 

I became a murderer. I lost my shit and started squishing away. I was practically in tears doing so, but I just couldn't handle it anymore. My friend Karen came over Monday night and gave me some bug stuff to spray around the perimeter of my house and it seems to be working.

I really hope they've left me alone. I even hope that there were some survivors who made it out.

I love everything, big and small, but please Ants, stop infesting my Kitchen.

not cool ants, not cool.

we're having a heat wave...

...a tropical heat wave....

It has been insanely hot. And even on a day like today, with a humidex of 46 degrees, I can't help but smile and think of Grumpy Old Men...

"Morning Dickhead!" 

Classic. 

Man, I love that movie.

silent sunday.

Well, the gong show was a success! Everyone had a great time, though we had a few slightly awkward moments! The one game was a huge success and everyone loved the jello shooters (of course!). I behaved, so I was feeling great this morning! Got up nice and early and cleaned my cousins house so she didn't have to deal with all of it by herself. Today, I've been enjoying my day off and have watched food network continuously! I figured I should take a little break and post some songs, since I feel like it's been a while! 

1. Thompson Square - Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not?

2. A Goofy Movie Soundtrack - Eye to Eye

I've watched the movie recently, so I've had the soundtrack on my ipod.

5. Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)

This song is pretty catchy, but the video is AMAZING! Love cameos. Hanson and Kenny G anyone?

gong show.

Tonight has been a night of prep work. Especially cleaning of the house! My favourite is that my laundry has been completed and already hung on the line! YES! I've made Sangria, shots, CDs, games, spiked watermelon, and a bunch of other random treats for tomorrow evening. Which by the way, is for my cousins 33rd birthday party. For the past few years we have had the craziest parties for him and each year it seems to get funnier and funnier. I'm helping my cousin get it organized and help make it run smoothly. 

Hopefully, I won't be too under the weather, because my other cousin and I might go for a little kayak tour on Sunday. However, if we are ill, it might just be yakking instead. I'm also hoping for a decent mood on Sunday, because I believe Josh and I might get together for a movie Sunday night. Here's hoping to a fairly sober evening, but knowing my track record.......Wish me luck! haha

SLACKER.

I've been bad blogger world! At least I am sticking with the original goal of once a week, but I really enjoyed daily updates. So as per usual, let me try to catch you up with my life.

The weekend was a lovely success. Erica came out and I gave her a lovely vacation away from home. We even had time for a kayaking tour of Frontenac Park. I love my kayak and enjoy every minute I get out there! I am planning on a kayaking trip within the next month for a bunch of friends, so that should be exciting.

Work has been crazy! I have been thrown into a new role and it is crazy intense. Well, not really, but when it's new and you feel like you haven't been trained properly, it can be overwhelming, ESPECIALLY when you deal with thousands of dollars! Hello!

I've also went on another date with Josh and I think I may be falling for him. Ugh. I don't say the "ugh" for falling in love with someone, because love is amazing. I'm just hilarious and have the fear of falling out of love or being rejected at some point...Which is weird for me, because I always try to be positive...at least for others. But matters of the heart can be messy. I am trying to look at it with as much hope and light and possible, because each time we get together my smile always seems brighter. 

P.S. He says I have a beautiful smile! haha

date night.

Josh and I went on an official date last night. I must say, it was the weirdest and nicest experience ever. I felt like a stereotypical girl on the date! Mainly because he left the table to go to the "washroom", but actually paid the bill! One of my classic moves! It was a really nice night and I have really enjoyed his company. We are getting together again on Monday! Here's hoping love is just around the corner.

Anyways, this weekend looks like it could be a good one! My friend Erica is coming out for some vacation from the real world. I plan on making her stay enjoyable, full of activities and food! Here's to a lovely weekend! 

Be Well!!

can I get a reviews-day tuesday, with a side of wednesday?

The Dark Crystal (3.5/5)

Starring: Henson Muppet's!!

"On another planet in the distant past, a Gelfling embarks on a quest to find the missing shard of a magical crystal, and so restore order to his world."

When I was younger, this used to terrify me, but I always wanted to watch it because they were all of Henson's Muppet's. Well, I haven't watched it in over 15 years and it's even more terrifying! What a weird movie! 

The Back-up Plan (?/5)

Starring: Jennifer Lopez & Alex O'Loughlin. 

(However, the secondary characters are way better in it.)

Its a romantic comedy where J-Lo decides to go with her back-up plan of getting artificially inseminated, because she can't find the right man...until the day she gets knocked up.

Honestly, I can't decide on this movie. I went in deciding I wouldn't like it, and I tried not to like it, but I think there was a lot of funny parts. Please watch it and let me know.

Paul (5/5)

Starring: Simon Pegg & Nick Frost.

Two nerdy British geeks encounter an alien outside area 51 after leaving comic-con.

Honestly, I was slightly worried I was over stupid comedy, but this one brought me back! Don't know if I laughed this hard in a while. A lot of great secondary characters, especially Kristen Wiig and a couple of special cameo appearances that are fitting. If you like anything to do with aliens, you will enjoy all the  random connections to other movies as well.

Independence Day (4.5/5)

Starring: Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, & Will Smith.

Aliens decide to try to take over the world...

What they don't realize is, you can't bring an American down on the fourth of July.

I'm sure most people wouldn't say this is a great movie, but I enjoy it. I remember seeing this in theatres; underage might I add! The scene where Big Willy punches the alien and the scene with the scientist against the glass used to scare me. Now it's a fun tradition to watch this movie every Independence Day.

in your wedding dress.

The day has come and gone and I am completely exhausted! What a wonderful weekend! Congratulations to the beautiful couple! As you know, I don't have a camera, so I didn't get to take any pictures, other then some with my phone. Here's a picture that I stole of the ole facebook though.

I have neglected my home and myself for the past four days, so today is a day of rest, laundry, and yard work! Then I go back to work tomorrow...sigh.
