What a beautiful day! Mind you the windows are sealed shut and the A/C is on, but it looks beautiful out! It's just too darn humid and muggy out there to bring the boy out for our walk :( I wish we had the dry heat like the Carribean does so we could enjoy it more! Ah well--I won't complain because anything is better than all that rain (and snow...)
Since I have nothing overly interesting to discuss today (not too much happens through the week on our end since I'm with Garett all day and we usually go to bed right after dinner when Ty gets home lol), I will just share some random facts about me !
1) My favourite thing to do now on a Saturday night is to throw on PJ's and cuddle on the couch with my man, order in chinese and watch a movie with our little one between us!
2) I go through phases of just wanting to be alone (well, with Tyler since we're married and he's like an extension of me at this point lol). Like the last thing I want to do sometimes is see people. Then I hit a phase where I just want to go out and see people or have people here all the time. I think it depends a lot on the weather--like today is a day I would like to see people lol.
3) I am a romantic. It's the little things with me. Bringing me home flowers or a stuffed animal or a bottle of wine is so cute because that person thought of you while they were out. I love that!
4) I LOVE to dress up. I feel like there aren't enough things anymore couples can go to to get dressed up! We love going out for a really nice, high end dinner followed by something else afterwards that it's acceptable to dress up for! I love when Ty wears a suit (he cleans up very well!) and I love having the opportunity to throw on a dress, some fake lashes and heels and just giv'er with no budget!
5) Outdoor concerts kick the s*** out of indoor concerts. This is why I love Tremblant so much during bluesfest. It's so nice to walk around (especially at dusk) with live music playing in the background while you enjoy dinner. It's also not as loud.
6)I miss being little. I had such a wonderful childhood, I couldn't have asked for much more.And sometimes (especially when I'm opening mail and paying bills lol) my brain flashes back to a simpler time where a loonie was like striking it rich, supper time had no preparation involved, you could eat half the cookie dough and not care about it going to your hips, playing hide and seek was acceptable entertainment, school (recess) was your only job, and getting tucked in with a story/song everynight was how your day ended and a kiss fixed anything that hurt. I can't wait for Garett to grow a little more so we can work at making his life just as blessed.
7) I like to have nice things. I think this is true for everyone. But I will buy 1 really nice quality shirt before I spend the money on 6 crummy ones at the same cost. You get what you pay for and that applies to everything. Clothing, food, electronics, furniture--everything. So next time you're looking at the clearance racks at Walmart (which I confess is fun sometimes when you want and impulse buy), just think--would I rather buy this $10 shirt, or use this $10 towards something I love and can use for time to come?
8) I am married to my best friend. We are so different but compliment each other perfectly. We always have fun together and never run out of things to talk about. We have our moments like every couple, but we get over them so quickly. We met 8 years ago and I think that time has taught us how to communicate. It took us a few years to get there (like most men and women, we have very different arguing styles) and we realised life is a LONG time (hopefully) so pick your battles! Also, talk about things as they bother you and don't let them build up so you explode on each other instead (I was the big culprit for that one LOL).
9) I have many passions, and I don't know why I never pursued a lot of them. I love decorating ( I wish I could redecorate from scratch over and over- but I only want to ever do my house is the problem lol). I love animals, but I wouldn't be able to take part in putting them down--it's hard enough having done that twice. I love elderly people, but again--too tough to watch them deteriorate. I love organizing--yet never have time to do my own. I love baking --but don't like to do it for us too often because it's bad to have baking always laying around the house. I love writing--I am much better at expressing things through writing than verbally. I love fashion--but in my current body, things never seem to look exactly the way I want. Once I lose a bit of weight I will feel better about all those outfits I love putting together.
10) I NEVER, ever return anything. If I order something online and it's too big? give it away. Too small? Keep it and use it as motivation. If something goes kaput after using it for a while? I buy a new one. It's so bad. I just hate the conversation that ensues (in most stores that aren't Walmart since they return things no questions asked in most cases) about why it's coming back. If things get returned, it's Tyler that does the "returning". I can't stand the process. As someone that has worked in retail, I know the mental eyeroll I always gave people that came in to return things, so...yeah. It's given me a complex haha
11) My handwriting and printing is different everytime I do it. Sometimes I don't even recognize my own writing. A few times it's been like "who wrote this?" and I'm like--oh, me haha.
12) I could drink milk until I drown in it. It's delicious (skim milk). Throw in some chocolate milk syrup or strawberry syrup and one glass is my limit.
13) When I fill my car up with gas, it feels like a new car to me again for some reason lol. When I get an oil change? Feels better than new LOL...I get so panicky about car problems. If my wiper fluid alarm goes off, I suffer a mini heart attack until I look down at my dash and see what the problem is lol
14) I CAN'T skate. The problem here is I only do it once, maybe twice a year (or none like last winter since I was hugely preggo). By the end of a session of skating, I usually have the basics down again, but it takes me about an hour to find my rhythm in strides and I can't remember how to do that from year to year--yet riding a bike is ok---so I don't understand people that say skating is like riding a bike, you never forget how---LIES.
15) I would rather text, BBM, email, ANYTHING over talk on the phone. I'm not sure what my aversion to being on the phone is but I hate it.
16) I hate hot drinks--My body rejects anything coffee. I only drink tea when I'm sick so I hate it any other time and hot chocolate is a 2-3 times a winter drink. Give me an ice cold bottle of water any day over any of the above.
17) I'm not normally afraid of the dark, but if I suffer a night of insomnia, that extra time awake in the dark makes me scared. I start thinking about everything--burglars, ghosts, aliens, scary movies, etc.
18) I used to believe in the idea of Karma--but I have known so many crazy individuals that do nothing but bad things to people and nothing ever seems to come back at them, so---I think that concept is out the window.
19) Things that bother me the most--people that abuse children and animals. God forbid I ever got into a position of power--if you kill someone? Jail is not where you'll be going. I believe you should be killed in the same way right back. Freakin psychos.
20) Pet peeves: Loud chewers, people that weave in and out of lanes while driving or can't maintain a lane, when people don't put the movies back in the case before putting the case back on the shelf, people that see something that needs to be done and walks right by it without fixing it (ie overflowing garbage, etc), obnoxious people that need to be louder than everyone in the room. Being stuck somewhere that reeks of smoke and smelling like it after--or any smoke at all around Garett lol (my blood boils when someone around him is smoking lol)
21) I sing and dance all over the house when I'm home alone. I'm sure all my habits when I'm alone make me look like a lunatic.
22) No matter the temperature outside or inside the house, be it -15 or +40, I always NEED a blanket. I can't really sit much on the couch without one without being uncomfortable and I certainly cannot sleep without something covering me. It's the most awkward feeling trying to sleep without a blanket!
23) I love having a tan but sitting in the sun or going tanning enough to get and maintain a tan scares the bajesus out of me.
24) New magazines are my favourite thing. When I get home from groceries and unloading them and everything, sitting down, putting my feet up and cracking my new magazine is the best!
25) When I finish a book (or even worse, a series of books or tv show), I feel so sad, like I can't believe that's the end of it! Then I lose any desire to start a different book or movie for like 2 weeks!
26) Clean sheet day is my fave.
27) I love when the air outside smells like bonfire or freshly cut grass. Another fave.
28) I hated yogurt for the first 25 years of my life. For the past year through pregnancy and my cervical issues, I have developed a LOVE LOVE LOVE for it. When I was pregnant, I would eat between 4 and 6 yogurts a day. It was an illness lol. My favourite? Oikos Mango and peach
29) I have an obsession with buying hair products and perfume. Everything gets used, it's just usually a long time in between. I have recently gotten over my shampoo problem (where I would have less than half a bottle left, go buy new stuff and keep the other bottle but use the new one). Now I wait longer to buy a new one or I just throw the other one out instead of hoarding them under the sink.
I can't think of a 30th one right now since the sound of Garett sucking on his hand is so loud and distracting (bottle time lol). Have a good thursday everyone!!
