Friday Silliness!!

Here’s some strange laws in Canada to giggle at. Hmmm… I think some updating to the law books is in order!
Federal Law
· It is illegal for clear or non-dark sodas to contain caffeine.
Alberta Provincial Laws
· Businesses must provide rails for tying up horses.
· Wooden logs may not be painted.
· It is illegal to set [...]

:D

Squeeeeeeeeeeee!
Just thought I’d share! Yay! I’m feeling happy these days. (okay, other than my very bad day, earlier this week)
Carry on!

It’s the MID-WEEK Socializing Game!

And… we’re back!
Hey guys! It’s that time of the week, again… Time to socialize on the fly! (And, I’ll have one of those shots in the photo, please!)
Here’s how it works: I’ll start with a question, and the first person answers my question, and then asks a different question for the next person [...]

Well, no wonder… Stupid Mercury.

Mercury is in retrograde from today (May 27) until June 19.
Everything happened at once, this afternoon. …One stupid f’n situation after another. At one point, I just wanted to scream…
Man.
I really don’t put much stock into astrology, but why is it that when I have a particularly bad day, communication-wise, I find out [...]

Is it Friday, yet?

Wow, that week off went SUPER fast.
In fact, I had so much going on last week, that I didn’t really get much time to myself. Including the fact that I was up every single (flippen) day at 5:30 am. WTF is up with that? Even in Edmonton. Okay, granted, I was [...]

I’m not entirely convinced that he’s not trying to kill me

I’m a week and a half into my new fitness regime, and I can’t say I’m *loving* my workouts… yet. But, what I can say is that I already feel better, and that’s motivation enough to push through the pain and make this work.
The first workout I had with Nick was a bit of [...]

Nice long weekend, now to begin the rest of the week off…

I had a lovely, fun-filled long weekend!
And, now I’m so worn out from such an awesome few days, that I’m really looking forward to the rest of the week off, which will include Third Tuesday tomorrow (don’t miss out on Darren Barefoot tomorrow night guys… I really hope to see y’all there!), and meeting new [...]

Vegas! Vegas! Vegas!

My birthday is coming up in 3 weeks… And guess what? I’ve done enough introspection for a lifetime around my birthdays (every year, it seems) so this year is gonna be different! Forget reflection upon the past year, blah blah blah. It sucked, for the most part. I don’t want to [...]

Um. NOT pleasant.

I feel like barfing right now, but I can’t. Because if I do, I have to do this whole thing all over again.
What the heck am I talking about? Phosphate. 45 mls of it. And, what am I taking phosphate for? I’m having a colonoscopy procedure done first thing tomorrow [...]

Introspection

I had a very introspective day on Sunday. I was up very early… (too early) 6:30am, and as I couldn’t get back to sleep, I decided to go out for a very long walk. It was a beautiful morning — perfect for some reflection on my life, lately.
There hasn’t been enough healthy “me” [...]

TGIF! Some Friday Silliness for you…

Mattel recently announced the release of limited-edition Barbie Dolls for the Greater Vancouver market:
“Yaletown Barbie”
This University-educated Barbie is sold only at the Yaletown Choices Market. She comes with an assortment [...]

Getting the most out of your cellphone…

As usual, I was up way too early again this morning… So I decided to surf online for a bit, and hit paydirt with a really great article!
Some of you may know most of these tips, but I can honestly say, I didn’t.
The article gives some really great ways to make the most of your [...]

UH?

What the… F* is wrong with all the social networking platforms tonight?
I’d hoped that when I got home from my busy early evening, that I’d be able to log into Facebook, or even Twitter (ya, sorry kids, I haven’t been there much) and catch up with the gang.
But, hell. I can’t get into any [...]

Protecting my iPhone goodness…

A few weeks ago, I received a BodyGuardz protection film kit to install on my iPhone, and review. I was really looking forward to protecting my $550 investment, and I’d heard good things about their film on iPodLounge.
To quote the BodyGuardz website:
Looking for a product to protect your device from scratches, but not [...]

So, thanks to Monica, the contest is now at $500.00!
ORIGINAL POST
Hello All! Some of you might remember who I am. I used to continuously deface Tanya’s blog with obnoxious comments and slanderous statements. After a long hiatus, I’m back.
I’m back with a vengeance actually. [...]

What? It’s Friday?

I’ve had something (or, even more than one something) going on every evening this week. I’m not complaining — I love having stuff to do, but it’s kept me away from this blog. That’s no good!
I tried to find a moment to come up with something extra stupid for Friday Silliness this week, [...]
