7 Things About Me

1.  I am addicted to my Avene lip balm. Just like Angela with her lip balms. I kinda stole her idea off reading her blog post about it. But it’s true. I’ve never used a lip balm before this one, mainly because I just didn’t like the feel of the others. My lip balm at work. I’m also terribly addicted to chewing gum at work. Ignore the package of United States Orbit gum that I chewed through in an afternoon. I know..

Same brand of lip balm at my desk at home.

I keep one in my purse too. Faux fur purses get so many stares from strangers. Awkward. Oh, also one near my bed. Because I need soft lips while I sleep didn’t you know. That’s a candy wrapper for you, Janae. There’s one in my car too, and a few back ups elsewhere around the apartment. I don’t think you need a photo of all of them.

2.  Starbucks gives me gut rot like no other. TMI? But I still feel the need to indulge every once in a while.

lol this one was free for my Starbucks free birthday drink. Promise, I don’t normally buy Venti fraps.

Hazelnut Latte’s are pretty darn tasty.

My local starbucks doesn’t have those insert sticks where you put the stick in the lid so when you drive it won’t spill. These stickers do NOTHIN’. Also, I must find out what nail polish that was on my nails. SO CUTE. I pick good colors, don’t I? :)

3. I climb. Yet I’m still somewhat afraid of heights. Here’s some cool photos of me. YAY CLIMBING!

Fun right? These photos are all old. Since moving to Ontario I don’t get to climb as often as I’d like to. There’s NO climbing gym for the public here. 4.  I pronounce certain words wrong. Like Kaiser buns. Even though I’m corrected each time, I repeat the correct word, and then forget it minutes later and call it the wrong thing again. Ky-zer…Kay-zur? Which one is it? What’s wrong with my brain? I can’t think of anything else but Kaiser at the moment.

5.  I like peanut butter only on it’s own. Like sandwiches, but I’m not a fan of Reeses Pieces, or chocolate and pb mixed together. I can eat chocolate covered peanuts though.

6. I enjoy looking in my rear view mirror of my car. When it’s raining, or its freshly snowed, to see where my tire tracks go. Is that weird? Does anyone else do that?

7. I have the neatest hand printing. I always get compliments on it. For instance, I went into Sephora and opened up my book that I write things that I want/need down and the SA ended up saying she thought it looked typed out. Huh.

Oh. I’m done already? That didn’t take too long. If you’re interested in reading more I also have a ‘25 random facts about me‘ listed in my about section of this site. But you can shortcut to it here. It’s a good read.

Oh my word, I have to pass this tag along to 15 other bloggers? I hope I can think of 15 other that haven’t done it. Hmm, let’s see…oh I know who’s going to be #1 on my list.

I think soon my readers are going to tell me to stop wearing cardigans all week long, just like I should go out and buy more skirts during the summer so I’d stop wearing those long bermuda shorts. Help me get dressed!

You also can’t really tell that the “skinny pants” i’m wearing on Wednesday and Friday are actually two diferent pairs. One’s charcoal (Wednesday) the other is black (today).

As I mentioned on Wednesday, the weeks are just flying by and I’m loving it. I went out and purchased a few things at the store called Smart Set, and ended up with 3 pairs of pants (two of them being “skinny pants”) and one camisole. I may return three items though, since I shouldn’t be shopping right after I got back from vacation.

Wednesday was a super fun day since I went out with a co-worker to one of the two local Universities here in the city where I work/live/play. It was fun to mingle with the athletics department who was hosting the open house. We know them for a few things since we do sponsorships for that one uni. I also checked out the local universities bouldering wall inside one of the buildings. I was lusting after it, and wanted to go home to grab my climbing shoes and get out with them and BOULDER. Alas, I am not staff, alumni, nor a student – I am just a community member. Maybe if I get a hold of one of the athletics department main head-honcho that we deal with, he can swing a dealiooo… I miss climbing.

Thursday’s pants are annoyingly too big. I hate how they look on my thighs. HUGE. I need to get these to a tailor, A-SAP.

Anyway! Happy Friday! Too bad today isn’t payday, it’d be a better Friday in my books. What are everyone’s plans for this weekend? I desperately need to do laundry. Can you believe I’m running out of undies? Who lets that happen? I have so many pairs of those things, that I have never ran out … ever! Time for this lazy butt (ha, pardon the BUM I mean PUN) to get off her arse (HAHAHAHA) and do some laundry. Now, off to go clip some coupons to use for getting deals this weekend — AND get a hair cut! I LOVE getting pampered. Catcha later!

The Rock

After blogging on Kelly’s site yesterday, I whipped out “The Rock” bouldering in Newfoundland DVD that I “appeared” in, in 2004 on a climbing roadtrip, me and a few buddies went on. I received the finished product about a year ago, and only watched it now. I’m not sure why I waited so long to watch it, but it brought back good memories. Here’s a clip (or two) of me climbing.

The quality is poor because I took a video of the video. Lame.

I’m sitting up on the rock on this one. you can sort of spot my infamous blue pants, then there’s a shot of my crank-face walking next to a boulder lol.

Go view my teeny tiny YouTube page!
