Ten on Tuesday

Posted in Lists, Ten on Tuesday by

1. Do you have an innie or an outie?

An innie, which I think may turn into an outie if/when I get pregnant.

2. What kind of milkshake do you order?

Mmm, chocolate! Or strawberry. Tasty!

3. How often do you repeat outfits at work?

All the time. I’m pretty sure I’m the youngest at the office, so I get the feeling no one really notices that I repeat outfits. Fashion is not a big deal there, except for a couple of co-workers.

4. What are your feelings about thank you notes?

I think they’re adorable and so thoughtful. I think if you take the effort to sit down and write out a card of thanks, you really mean it!

5. Do you like spicy food?

I like mildly spicy food. If I’m ordering food that has various levels of heat, I always go with mild. I get just enough to make my nose run a little!

6. How many toilet paper squares do you use?

Haha! I have no idea. Enough to comfortably do the job?

7. Were you in Girl Scouts?

Nope. They weren’t very big in my hometown growing up, so I was never signed up for it.

8. Notebooks/Journals: College ruled? Wide Ruled? No lines? Spiral Bound? Plain front? Decorative?

My notebooks for school were always spiral bound. I have no idea what kind of rule they had. I had a lot of Five Star, so whatever they are!

9. Do you snack throughout the day? What do you pack for snacks?

I used to snack all the time while I was working, and it was showing! Now I usually just pack a low-cal granola bar or a piece of fruit for my coffee breaks, but sometimes I’ll bring a little Tupperware of rice crackers just to nibble on.

10. What is your favourite month? Why?

May or June. May because it’s my birthday and June because it’s not too hot but not too cold. Perfect flip-flip, jeans and a t-shirt weather :)

Seven Quick Takes

~1~

I’m going camping today! It’s only overnight, but I’m stoked. I even took a day off of work from Job #1 to go. That’s how badly I’ve been wanting to go camping.  It should be fun. Kyle, the Roommate and C are going grocery shopping tonight (I have to work at Job #2) and then we’ll head out tomorrow morning. Yay! The doggies are even coming with us. I’m going to try and remember to bring the camera, so prepare for a possible photo-fulled post on Monday.

~2~

I’ve already started packing up some boxes for the big move. Overwhelming? I think so. I’ve taken the photos and whatnot down from the walls and have packed up bits and pieces of stuff we don’t need in the kitchen at the moment. (Basically anything that we’d use with the oven because no AC = no oven.) I’ve even packed up my bookshelf, which leaves me wondering if I should buy more books this summer since the rest are all packed up.

~3~

Kyle sold his trampoline on Craigslist on Wednesday. Before you ask yourself “Why does a grown man have a trampoline?” I will tell you that he jumps on it to stay in shape. Call it ridiculous, but it works. He could beat Chuck Norris in a roadhouse kicking contest with those legs. Anyway, I feel bad that he had to sell it. Our new place doesn’t have a yard, so there’s no room. Hopefully in the future we’ll have a yard that’s big enough for a trampoline and I’ll buy him a new one.

~4~

I’ve been at Job #2 for three months now and you know what that means? A RAISE! Yaaaay! Now if only I can get on full time there.

~5~

Kyle’s sister has already had some of her stuff moved back to Kamloops and I’m starting to get more and more apprehensive about her being under the same roof as us. I’m just afraid that it’s going to be the worst two weeks of my life.We should’ve discussed an earlier possession on the new place.

~6~

I had lunch with my grandma on Tuesday and it was lovely. I haven’t seen her since we went to Ashcroft for the rodeo back in June. We had great conversation about my new house, my grandpa working all the time and my crazy aunt. I’ve missed talking with my grandma!

~7~

I can’t even think of anything for #7. How about …. I’ve been playing a lot of XBox lately, mostly because I don’t have a book to read.

Happy Friday!

Ten on Tuesday

Posted in Lists, Ten on Tuesday by

1. What is your current favourite television show?

It’s summer, so all my REAL favourite shows aren’t on, but I’ve kind of been enjoying Rookie Blue. It’s a fairly decent Canadian show I think!

2. Apple juice or orange juice?

Apple juice, as long as it’s fresh pressed. I used to work for a place that grew apples and made their own fresh-pressed apple juice. It was so freaking good, like drinking an apple.

3. It’s Shark Week on Discover Channel. Do you watch? Why or why not?

No, because I never remember when it’s on and I’m usually too busy with work. *sigh*

4. What are the non-blog websites that you visit regularly?

Facebook and Twitter. (Those count, right?) I usually visit TheProvince.com when I’m at work too for news.

5. What is your favourite way to prepare green beans? Asparagus? Potatoes? Carrots?

Green Beans: Tossed with EVOO, garlic and a hint of black pepper then stir fried.
Asparagus: Steamed.
Potatoes: Anyway!
Carrots: Boiled.

6. What is your favourite flower?

Gerbera daisies, for sure. They’re so pretty!

7. How do you feel about handkerchiefs?

Gross. Why could you want a ball of snot accumulating in your pocket?

8. If you could only shop at 3 stores for the rest of your life, what would they be? (You probably should include a grocery store.)

Costco, Wal-Mart and Save On.

9. If you could only use wine for one purpose for the rest of your life, which would you choose? To cook with or to drink?

To cook with. I’m not a wine drinker, but I’ve cooked with it in the past.

10. What’s your bedtime?

Usually around 11:00 p.m.
