The break down

This girl and this other girl

Are taking a road trip to see this guy...

At this place..

On the 15th day of the 8th month...

one word. capital letters.

PUMPED!!

It doesn't get better than this..

This week's Thursday night consists of lounging in bed with the dog.. while he's passed out with his head on my lap...

The boy is downstairs playing guitar like a rock star.. insisting on playing the same song for the past hour

I wouldn't have it any other way...

the dog blog

ok so a few months ago, I started a twitter account for the dog.. for some reason it kept getting followers. I changed the account to reflect my everyday life musings.. and everyone stopped following. idiot.

I then created a blog for the dog. Rufus the Wheaten.. no posts yet. it's still sitting there.. empty.. Rufus gets into a lot of trouble on a daily basis.. You'd think his owners would take the time to write a few of his stories down right? he at least deserves his own posts! so on that note, his daily shenanigans will be updated here from now on. You can follow his every move while reading mine!

*how clever!

enjoy...

Just a thought..

"How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon" - Goofy

So I kind of splurged.. Like bad

I vowed to never leave the house with this thought in my head.. "I will buy something to wear tonight".. Never again.

A supposed $50 purchased turned into a $140 one.. for 1 item.. Who the hell does this on a whim?? Apparently I've fallen right back into my old habits… I didn't even look at the tag when the guy rang it in.. I didn't look! I assumed it was $70.. And after my jaw almost hit the floor when he slipped out the amount, I still bought it!! I'm going crazy here!!

I had a wonderful night showing it off though… I've also made sure to wear it everyday this weekend.. Hopefully this guilty feeling will go away soon..

After having spent a total of 5 minutes in the mall and did the stupidest thing ever, I met up with a friend for our monthly sushi night extravaganza. Sushi night usually is a pretty expensive one. It is seriously worth it though.. When we eat sushi, we go at it hardcore. There is this crazy amazing Asian fusion place in the market (Ottawa) and they serve the craziest sushi concoctions. Our guilty pleasures? The Diablo and Kinki rolls.. so good. They also have a great 2-1 special "Happy" hour.

{diablo roll - once of our faves}

You pay $3 more than you would a normal roll however you get 2 of the same! Such an amazing deal! 4 rolls with a couple glasses of pino usually run around $30 each. We usually leave pretty satisfied with bellies full to the brim.

We also hit up Fat Tuesdays for a few cocktails and had a late Disney Trivial Pursuit night… always a good time.

This weekend was also my darling's birthday celebration!

{yes, this cake was not a joke… yibbydee booo was really written on that piece of chocolate}

Amazing oreo cake.. There is still a good quarter of it left in the fridge.. Thank god it expired yesterday! I'm going to have to go up a dress size in order to finish that monster!! all in all, It was a pretty great time. We haven't really got the gang together in a while for some good food and drinks.. It felt really nice.

We also got to skype with our friends who are in Taiwan until the fall. We miss them to pieces.. It was really difficult getting a connection (which was really strange) every 5 minutes the thing would cut out and we'd have to call again.. So annoying.. I think the Mac has this weird Internet issue. Anyways, We finally got things rolling for over 45 minutes about an hour into the convo.. A little late, but it was really nice talking to them.. There were a lot of tears..

I'm sure they can’t wait to come home.

Sorry for the mess of a post.. It's been a hectic few weeks and I'm sure this has been boring…
Hopefully there will be interesting posts soon… promise.

I have fallen hard... I'm going to start counting coins, I am salivating over these cuties!!

le chien

I wonder what he's dreaming about...

lessons learned

Ah yes my friends.. 

this IS how it looks. I am never putting a paper cup in the microwave again. Usually 15 seconds does it to re-heat my morning leftovers at the office.. but for some reason, I must have left my brain at home on the night stand today.. because this is inexcusable..

Vintage finds..

Etsy finds are always fantastic finds. You don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get something truly unique. I absolutely love this upholstered chair. I've always loved the "nail head" trim style.. {sighs}

Snow?? who said anything about snow??

It's April. 

This is usually the time of year I like to store my winter coat and boots away for GOOD (until the fall/winter come right back in full circle). What do you think the expression on my face was when I got to my office this morning and saw this outside the window...

Now please... J/J of CTV, just please tell me this will all go away... 

I'm really not looking forward to pulling my coat out of storage... seriously...
