I will be away on vacation until Monday morning. I’m getting a pedicure done tonight, eyebrows waxed and notified my boss that I’m taking a vacation day tomorrow. We’re heading up north while the BF competes in a HALF IRONMAN. Oh yes. Details and photos to follow after. I’m going to be dead tired at work on Monday morning as we’re driving back (four hours or so?) at like 5am lol.

Cheerleader Girlfriend! Yay!

I’m not nocturnal

4 Comments

Meet ‘crankface’ whom we named Boris.

Boris the Hedgehog was three years old sometime in August (We don’t know the exact date as we got him in October) . He’s an exotic nocturnal animal that runs on his wheel for a few hours a night. Boy oh boy Boris, am I ever glad you’re not in our bedroom anymore. He’s a nervous little guy, especially around me. (We’re both afraid of each other.) His quills (spikes) are for protection, but he wouldn’t hurt you and hedgehogs do not shoot their quills — they can’t. Sometimes they do fall off, however that is rare. If Boris is scared or angry, well that’s another story, since the quills are raised and tend to point in all directions, trying to handle him in this defensive posture is an experience that I’m used to encountering, watching the boyfriend try and pick him up. Mister ‘crankface’ doesn’t like the light, or to be handled that often. But while my boyfriend was on vacation back home, Boris and Toadster (that’ll be another entry, for a different time) are the only little guys to keep me entertained. So as per usual, I will leave you with a couple of photos that I took of Boris while he was waking up and going to his food at around 11:00PM.

Mmm what is that delightful scent?

1 Comment

I rarely purchase regularly priced items when I need razors, feminine products, soap, toothpaste.. .you know the health and beauty crap you buy at drug stores. I need to save all of that extra money for my AVEDA hair products! (Man, do I ever love those products.) When there are sales at places such as Shoppers Drug Mart I stock up! So for the last little while I’ve been using some pink brand of deodorants with a black top – Soft and Dry maybe? I don’t know, I never read the labels when I’m applying it. So my last swipe of deodorant for my previous stick was all used up and I chucked it last night. This morning I applied Lady Speed Stick in Tropical Breeze. On it went, then buttoned up my shirt and headed out for the day.

While I was on my first of two buses heading to work this morning, I was thinking: “Hmm, that lady in front of me is smelly subtly sweet today. I wonder what it is?”

This afternoon at work I was like … WAIT! said lady on bus is not here. My nose is after picking up that delightful scent again. *sniff sniff* – Dude I think that’s me, I’m the one that smells awesome!

My next stick after Tropical Breeze, is WATERMELON. Oh boy, I can’t wait to try that one out. he he. I love new deodorant! Love anything that has to be opened and brand new. Opening up a new tube of toothpaste or a new toothbrush. Does anyone get excited over little things like this? Or am I the only weird one out there? :P Doesn’t take much to make me smile, that’s for sure.

I bought my flight home, for Christmas today! By the time Christmas rolls around, I have not been to Newfoundland for 18 months. TOO LONG! I’m super duper happy and totally on cloud 9 right now. Going home for a total of two weeks!
