I thought I’d add a new series to the blog. I shall call it Thursday Things. There will be five things on the list in relation to the topic. This week it will be “Things I don’t watch on TV.” Feel free to play along!
1. Veronica Mars. Apparently it’s a big deal that there’s a movie version coming. I never watched the show, so I’m really wondering what the big fuss is.
2. Dr. Who.Is it even a TV show? Or a movie? Or … ? This is how much I don’t know about it.
3. Biggest Loser. The last thing I want to watch is a punch of people being yelled at by Jillian Michaels for an hour.
4. The Bachelor/Bachelorette.Does anyone actually take this show seriously, or do they just like the train wreck of wine-drunk women sobbing because “their man” is on a date with other woman? They need to take a lesson from the Brown’s from Sister Wives.
5.Game of Thrones.The genre really just doesn’t appeal to me, but from what I gather, it may be a little overrated. Especially when I hear about people making a fuss over the way the series or season or whatever ended, even though it was the same as in the book it’s based off of.
I’m having a hard time finding a good collage-making app for my Macbook that isn’t so restricting with photo sizes. Anyone have any suggestions? I have to crop half my photos to make them work with the templates. I’m currently using Fotor. Help?
January 26: Checking in on this guy. (My dad’s dog, Kobie)
January 27: Banana chocolate chip muffins. Yum!
January 28: Snowfall.
(Okay, I got January 27 & 28 mixed up. Switch those dates around!)
January 29: I’m a lucky lady to be married to this guy! (And very rarely does he pose for a photo for me.)
January 30: Yogurt eating requires serious concentration.
January 31: One of my favourite parts of the day is actually tucking her in. I love seeing what position she falls asleep in. Tonight, Lovey Bear and Bella Bunny needed a snuggle.
(Ugh, clearly I wasn’t awake while putting that collage together, because January 30 & 31 are backwards too.)
February 1: Isla thought I needed a hat to wear before we started taking selfies.
– Isla has swimming lessons twice a week at the city-owned tournament centre. While I can’t stand public pools, I go because it’s good for Isla to get used to a water and she likes hanging out with the other kids her age in the pool. What adds to my dislike for pools is the way people act at this facility. To start, parking is a nightmare. You literally have to stalk someone who’s leaving and wait for them to leave to find a parking spot some days. The way people drive through the parking lot is also sketchy sometimes. On Tuesday, a man was driving the wrong way down a one-way parking “ally” and I mouthed “Wrong way” and pointed the correct direction to him. He rolled down the window, I’m assuming to talk to me, but his wife (who was in the passenger seat) yelled at me, “F-YOU! HE KNOWS IT’S A ONE WAY!” He just told her to relax and proceeded to drive away and turn around so he was the right way. So that was lovely. Then, after Isla’s lessons were over we were going into a change room and the floor was disgusting: hair and dirt everywhere and a FAKE FINGERNAIL was just chilling out on the floor. If my stuff wasn’t falling all over the place I would’ve switched rooms, but that was just gross.
– One final gripe about going to the pool: There are two banks of family change rooms with signs stating, “Priority goes to parents with young children” posted outside of each change room. For whatever reason, the elderly like to use these rooms as well. It doesn’t bother me so much when they walk out of the change rooms since they may have not been anyone waiting. It’s when they go into a room ahead of parents with young children. This happened to me last week and it seriously aggravated me! I should have said something to the woman but she had already shut the door – I was too shocked to get the words out in time. Oh well.
– To bust out of the fury that I experience everytime I go to the pool, here’s a cute photo of Isla playing with Playdoh. She loves this stuff, and amazingly, has only tried to eat it once.
– Onto a happier note, my laundry room is finally back to normal! Kyle and I finished putting up some new pieces of trim (which were destroyed by Campbell during the first and only time we locked him in the room while we were out of the house – always, ALWAYS use a crate!) and I painted it and did touch ups on Sunday. I’m so happy to have it all looking normal again, after having it in shambles for nearly 9 months. Our next project? Repainting our bedroom!
– My cellphone was away for 4 weeks getting repaired and in the meantime, I was using my older smartphone. It was slow and cranky, and it did its job, but I was SO happy when I got a call on Wednesday stating that my Galaxy S4 was fixed and ready to be picked up!
– I am seriously falling in love with yoga. Last night’s class was full of balance and strength poses, and even though I tend to be a little wobbly, I can’t get enough of them. My favourite right now? Dolphin pose to headstand. It’s going to happen. I’m going to make it happen! I can’t even remember the last time I did a headstand, so it should be a fun and challenging venture!
