Ten on Tuesday

Posted in Lists, Ten on Tuesday by

Here’s another lovely Ten on Tuesday brought to you by Roots and Rings!

1. Fill in the blank. Sometimes I wish my life was more ______.

Adventurous!

2. How do you cure the hiccups?

Drink water upside-down!

3. What are three of your favorite indulgences?

  • King Crab with garlic butter. Mmm …
  • Vanilla lattes
  • Gourmet cupcakes from Sweet Spot Cupcakes. SO GOOD!

4. Where is the most exotic place you would like to travel to? The most mundane?

Most exotic? Bora Bora! Most mundane? I have no idea … probably Fort St. John to see my bestest friend and her baby that’s due in March.

5. Does having your time planned out stress you or relax you?

It depends on how much I have to do in one day, but I like knowing what I have to do and when I have to have it done by. Perhaps it stressed me out less?

6. What are your favourite fabrics to wear?

Cotton. Breathable, lovely cotton!

7. Do you sleep through the night?

Like RIGHT through the night? Mostly. Usually I wake up in the middle of it to go pee.

8. When you were younger, what did you think you would be doing at this age? How close is that to what you are doing?

I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was little, so I’d say what I do now isn’t even close!

9. What has surprised you most about growing up?

Life isn’t perfect, but you have to make the best of it. “That which does not kill me shall only make me stronger.”

10. Are you good at keeping secrets?

I can be. Except when it’s gifts I’m giving Kyle. He sucks the truth out of me because he hates being surprised! That and if it’s something REALLY good, I usually end up telling him because I get to excited, like when I bought him Canucks tickets in September. I was going to save them until our anniversary in November, but I got too excited. *sigh*

What’s in My Purse?

Posted in Life, Lists, Misc, Photos by

Idea from Angela at Craving Cupcakes

They say the content of a woman’s purse is a mystery. (Okay, maybe they don’t say that, but sometimes you gotta wonder!) It seems like I have a lot of stuff in my purse, but it’s a big freaking purse!

  1. Tampons. Yeah. We’ll get that one out of the way early, shall we? At least they’re hidden in an awesome case!
  2. Re-usable cloth bag from Target. My grandma gave it to me. I actually use it, except for when I’m actually grocery shopping. Heh.
  3. Tide To-Go pen. Accidents happen.
  4. Advil. Headaches happen.
  5. Hair brush. You gotta keep the mane tame!
  6. Change purse. I keep my change for parking in this bad boy (girl?)
  7. Wallet. My mom gave this to me for Christmas a couple years ago. Very rarely does it actually contain money. My boss has the matching purse, lol.
  8. Kleenex. My nose runs a lot.
  9. Allergy pills. Just in casei have an allergic reaction to anything random.
  10. Sunglasses. They used to be in a little cloth pouch, but they fell out all the time. I bought this bad boy to keep them from getting scratched.
  11. Halls. I had a cold and my throat was soooore. Cherry Halls to the rescue!
  12. Lemongrass lotion. I got this at the Hyatt Regency in Vancouver. Smells SOOO good :)
  13. Hand sanitizer. Things are gross. Hands get dirty. Problem solved!
  14. Cellphone. It’s an LG Rumour. Shazam!
  15. Swedish Berries & hair elastic. I took the berries to work but didn’t eat them all. The elastic kept the berries from escaping into the abyss of my purse.
  16. A pen. You know, for writing stuff.
  17. A notepad. Sometimes I leave love letters on people’s windshields.
  18. Gum! Fresh breath is nice to have, and it apparently strengthens the enamel on my teeth. Win-win!
  19. Work keys and USB memory stick. Also attached is a Canucks bottle opener.
  20. Chapstick. A must-have!
  21. TRU lanyard and all my other keys. They include house, car and truck.
  22. Some random receipt. Not too sure where it’s from. Movie theatre maybe?
  23. Earplugs. Not so I don’t have to listen to people, but so I don’t go deaf at the gun range. Heh heh.

So, what kind of surprises are in YOUR bag, hmm?

This is me in February …

This month….

I like: that the weather has been unusually warm.

I don’t like: that I’ve been getting headaches a lot.

I want you to know: that I’ve fallen in love with blogging!

I’ve planned: Kyle’s birthday. Cake, friends, fun … yay!

I want to say to someone special: I miss you tons and can’t wait for your little bundle of joy to arrive! <3
