A whole weekend!

With no posting! And now it's Monday ..why was I too busy to post you ask? Good question. I think I was just exhausted, sitting down& uploading photos, writing a blog, being witty, etc just wasn't appealing to me. Not that I need energy to be witty, really. That just comes natural ;) So, now onto the important questions of how I spent my Saturday& Sunday!

Saturday - work til 3. Read magazines .. learned the new trends for spring .. how to do an at-home manicure .. how to straighten my hair so I look pretty (that is a rant for an entirely different day. I try to stay away from my hair on this blog.) .. and various other things I've promptly forgotten. Afterward, I proceeded to not attend hot yoga (oops!) and made 45 jell-o shots. Then, off Karli& I went to Lindsey's to enjoy some shots& skull vodka :D It was all delicious. Then we headed to Daniels, where we met up with public health people and headed to Capri. It was fun .. then I went to Garrets and fell into delightful sleep.

On Sunday, Garret& I did nothing much of anything. I actually can't remember what happened, and that's sad because it was only yesterday! Oh, wait. No, we got Tim Hortons (I didn't win. I haven't won yet. Frig you, Roll Up The Rim. You suck.) and then headed to my house where I fed him his favorite meal -Mom's lasagna! Yum for him. Then he went home, I went to work& it was annoying. I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer because I love Angel and wished all my customers would stop being annoying. I must have sold about 150 - 180 $2 crosswords. WHAT. THE. HELL. So then I ran out, of course. Life was great. After work, I came home& curled up to watch Breakout Kings. Instead, I got sucked into something else that I can't even remember now. I am going to watch it tomorrow.

So then, I couldn't sleep until 2 and woke up at 3.45AM to take Matthew to the airport ..I did. I met Mom there .. we saw the child off .. I went to Garrets .. blah blah blah ..exciting part?!
So. Lunchtime-ish .. we go to the SPCA. It was CRAZY in there, so many barking dogs. None of them really appealed to me (which was nice, because I'm not getting a dog and Garret refuses to get one.), until I turned the corner. Oh. My. Love. A beautiful little American Staffordshire was just sitting in her cage, waiting for me to save her from her overstimulating life at the SPCA. She was the sweetest, kindest looking dog I've seen in a long time& she was just so calm amid all the chaos. How could I not love her?! So, I fell in love with a dog that I cannot have ..this is my plea to someone to go rescue her. She deserves a great home& I truly wish more than anything I could give it to her. Seriously, if you can help out in anyway.. so sad to see so many animals with no love in their lives. Then we hit up Boston Pizza, where I had a delicious pasta. Then we went to his garage, where we decided to take his bicycles for a ride.

Yes. In this weather. It's 50km/hr winds and -13C with snow falling. I rode his amazing road bike and have decided that I'm definitely going to have to upgrade sooner rather than later. It was amazing. Then I was very cold and headed home to visit Mom before she left for work and catch up on my blogging / TV shows / posting of photos / hanging with my own puppy / etc. So, now here I am, getting caught up on my blog& photos .. puppy has been given lots of attention and soon Intervention& Heavy will be on. This will be an excellent evening all around :)

So, this post is seeming incredibly long and I still have to add 3 days worth of photos! So, here we go. Starting with a photo from Saturday. This is the album cover for a record Matt has. The record is the soundtrack to Alice in Wonderland! So much fun ..Matthew's stuff is neat to photograph because it's all so peculiar.

After that, I have yet another photo of something that either Matthew or Dad owns. It is a Sherlock Holmes guitar pick. I don't particularly like this photo, however I was in a rush to get jell-o +myself ready for the evening, so it's all your getting!

And, then lastly? There is my photo for today! Guess what it is? There's no way you'll ever guess. I took the photo and I don't even know, really. It's some type of wind up robot that dances back& forth. It's cute. It's Matthews. Yes, 3 days of lightbox photography of items that Matthew owns. Enjoy!

And now my excessively long 3-day catch up is done. I hope you enjoyed it and feel like you know what's happening in my world again. My world really IS that exciting ..most days, anyway. I also decided that's time to get back on the fitness train, my foot is mostly healed. I'm restarting Insanity tomorrow .. plus a run. Eventually, I'd really just like to be a professional surfer in Hawaii or New Zealand or something. Dream big, right? For now, I'll be happy with some muscle, ripped abdominals and a better diet!

Oh, also, I feel like it's time to share another song with you folks. It's Andrew Allen -Loving You Tonight. I'd prefer to share my favorite song by him (Sooner) ..however, it doesn't appear to exist except live. I hate live versions of songs when they are recorded with all the talking / background singing from those around the person filming / the person themselves. On that note:

A secret about a secret.

That's what they say photographs are. Who knew? Maybe that's why photography intrigues me so much, especially portraits. I think portraits of people are stunning, especially when done in black& white. I LOVE color, don't get me wrong, but something about a black& white photo just seems to show so much more. On that note, tonight I tired to get a rocking photo of Matthew (aka, my brother) but he refused. Oh, typical brother behavior. I swear to the good heavens above that starting tomorrow, right in school I'm busting out the camera. And I'm saying 'LET ME TAKE YOUR PHOTO ______'. Okay, probably not. I am going to try though.

So, I didn't get a photo of the brother for the photo of the day. Instead I got a clock. I'll add it to the bottom of the post as per usual. Why are my photos at the bottom you ask? To encourage you to at least scroll, if not read, through everything I felt like telling you about today!

My run yesterday went better than expected, as I didn't end up in an ambulance or dead from exhaustion LOL! Today, however, I realized I pulled a tendon or something in the top of my foot. It doesn't really matter, since I had no intentions of exercise today at all. Instead, I had a cupcake& rested at work. I read magazines (I managed to stay awake about 4 minutes after posting) and tried to tolerate the people who come into my store. In all fairness, I actually like quite a bit of the regulars who come through! If I'm in an especially good mood, I can even manage to find the humor in the ones I don't like. Lately, there have been no good moods to find it.
So then I came home, changed the look of my blog, went for a coffee with the boyfriend (he came and picked me up AND purchased my tea. Score for me!), did some school and am now considering just curling up in bed to watch the new show, Breakout Kings. It's not on until much later though.

I had something worthwhile to post here, and like typical me, I have completely forgotten what it was. Perhaps something about the weather? How great it was to not have crazy high winds, snow storms and freezing cold temperatures awaiting my walk outdoors this morning. Words cannot express the joy I receive in thinking spring may actually make it to Cape Breton. I am cautiously optimistic. I will gladly take overcast days with rain, until at least May. Just please, no. more. snow!!! I am SO ready to get back outside and run. Treadmills make me such a sad runner ..how boring. I feel like a hamster in a wheel. Only a hamster isn't smart enough to know better.

Yeah. So, I have nothing super exciting to really tell you folks about today. I do, however, have a photo being posted on time. Which is an accomplishment all in it's own! Just call me Ms. Productivity! Here is my mom's clock:

Ain't she a beauty?! Also, drop a line in the comments and let me know if you prefer this blog layout to the old one and also let's encourage Garret to use it to design the paint scheme for his new motorcycle :D

Have a great Sunday evening, ladies& gents :)
