photos say a thousand words

we all know i've been blog slacking lately in every sense... rarely writing, rarely reading and therefore rarely commenting. i have so much catching up to do. once in a while i find a minute to read here and there a post or two from my favourite blogs and i came across Reni's post about this photo challenge. it's the perfect challenge to keep me actively blogging in no time. thank you to my sista in Portland, Reni for introducing it to me and thank you SwissTwist for hosting it.

here are the 10 prompts for the photo challenge:

Day 1: A photo of your view from your office window / from your desk.

Day 2: A picture of two things you love, together.

Day 3: Three of your favourite pairs of shoes (you know I just HAD to throw shoes in!)

Day 4: Four photos from your past.

Day 5: Five of your favourite / most used cosmetic products.

Day 6:  Five of your favourite flowers.

Day 7: Four things that make you happiest.

Day 8: Three photos of someone smiling. You and/or someone else.

my view from my desk

"i'm not gonna lie" for March

BOOOOOO! i've been missing in (blog) action. MY BAD. i have yet to figure out how to balance a new relationship with all my social networking activities. 26er still doesn't understanding why i'm always on my iPhone4 while he's around. silly boy! it's cuz my iPhone4 is the love of my life! LOL!

here's my 1st blog post after an unwanted blog break:

my "i'm not gonna lie" for March...

i'm not gonna lie, i'm annoyed at myself for not keeping up with my blog and the blogs i follow. i want to do it! but i've been sucking lately with my leisure time management skills. if you have any tips on how to manage this, please let me know!

last week, 26er pointed out our 2 month anniversary... wow, really? never in my life in any relationship have i ever made note of a 2 month mark. i'm not gonna lie, i'm waiting for him to get sick of me so he won't want to see me everyday. damn it 26er! hurry up and get annoyed with me. LOL!

i'm not gonna lie, i still want to be with 26er, but i don't want to see him EVERYDAY! he's annoyed me frequently this past month, but i finally braved up and confronted him about it. now let's see if he's mature enough to work on it.

shame on me! i'm dating a 26-year-old! what do i really expect from a guy who is 26 years old?! his behaviour is fairly typical of a 26 year old (and an only child). i'm not gonna lie, i shouldn't be complaining if i've decided to be in a relationship with a 26-year-old!

the weirdest thing has happened to me... i haven't really been drinking. WTF? often i've been having only 1 alcoholic beverage in a sitting. AND i don't mind. AND i don't care to have more. AND i've been nursing the 1 drink. AND i've been completely sober when i'm out OUT! i'm not gonna lie, i'm shocked! i think this may be a sign to go on a drinking hiatus.

fine fine. i kinda lied. i did have a little more than 2 glasses of wine last night. i'm not gonna lie, i enjoyed it. i believe this may be a sign to therefore go on a drinking hiatus from everything BUT wine. haha.

i'm not gonna lie, i probably haven't been drinking an abundance of alcohol lately because i've been putting too many other things in my mouth! such as...

yummzy - Southwest Salad at Turtle Jacks Muskoka (my new fave resto)

heavenly dessert -  fire & ice at Turtle Jacks

peach bellini (the best bellini ever) at Earls Restaurant

peanut butter chocolate mini cupcake from Starbucks

Starbucks minis (2 lolli-cakes: birthday cake & rocky road, salted caramel square)

  

that's it for now. hope you're all enjoying your weekend! 

HAPPY SATURDAY!!

oooooh... aaaahhhh... mmmmm... yay!

oh boy it's Sunday already... which means Monday is tomorrow... which means tomorrow is the start of yet another work week. i enjoy my job, but oh how i wish i was a non-working millionaire! i wouldn't care about Mondays. actually, no days of the week would matter. i truly believe i'd make a fantastic millionaire! i would volunteer, donate money, spend money on my family and friends. don't i sound like a pretty close to perfect millionaire to you??!

anyway, hope you're enjoying your Sunday! for your blogging pleasure, here are some random photos that can make me go "oooooh'', "aaaahhhh", "mmmmm" or "yay"! 

these wonderful desserts have made my belly content:

Lindt chocolate ice cream - I SWEAR 1 of the BEST ice cream flavours EVER!

"the cookie" at Shoeless Joe's: fresh from the oven baked cookies served in a skillet, topped w/ ice cream, chocolate chips and drizzled w/ caramel and chocolate sauce

Lindt chocolate ice cream cake (not as good as the ice cream on it's own, but still tasty. the ice cream alone is the best because you need to appreciate the Lindt flavour w/o it being masked with other goodies

judging by the above pics, you probably think i haven't been true to my food rules (found here), but in reality i have been with the exception of the potato rule. i swear, starting today, i'll only have fried potatoes once a week! 

check out Pam and Matt's baby shower cake(s):

everything is edible except for the display signs (yes, the shoes are, the baby bottle, the car, etc. it's all edible!)

yes! beer!

cheers to double pints!

roll up the rim to win is back at Tim Hortons! i haven't won in 2 years, but now i'm winning approximately 70% of the time! YAY!

moi w/ my 1st roll up win this season!

that's it for now! enjoy your Sunday!

you've got style! you've got this!

WOOT WOOT EVERYBODY!  HAPPY SATURDAY!!!! YAY, it's the weekend!

today, i bring you the new blog me... i'm not gonna lie, i'm a tad paranoid my ex had my blog URL, so tada, my blog link has been revised to lookin4maur.blogspot.com.

alright, let's move along now...

looky at what i got?! the Stylish blogger Award! thank you to my girl - Jen who gave me this award. she lives at one of the most beautiful places in the world, Hawaii. i've been reading her blog for quite some time and noticed we have many similarities. we both don't like raw celery, hallmark commercials can make us cry, we used to play the flute, random old people love talking to her - random old and any age people love talking to me, we both tend to ignore the boys we are crushing on and we both blog - that's how we met! i highly suggest you check her out! she can be found at jenkakio.com. she's entertaining, refreshingly honest and can provide insight to anything. if you're interested in Hawaii, make up, life, food, tv & movies... actually if you're interested in anything, her blog may interest you!

the simple rules of this award are:

1. thank and link back to the person who gave you the award. (yup, yup! did that above.)
2. share 7 things about yourself. (yup, yup! will do that below.)
3. tag 15 10 other bloggers and let them know that you’ve given them an award! (yuppers! this will be at the bottom of this post. i'm suppose to tag 15, but i don't think 15 bloggers regularly read my blog.)

7 tid bits about moi:

1.  i don't have cable. if i'm lucky i can get up to 5 channels from whatever signals are reaching my bedroom. this is probably why i'm never home. i can be seen watching TV at 26er's or friends' houses.
2. i often remember my dreams. i'd say for the past 2 weeks, i've dreamt about my ex 90% of the time. no, nothing sexual... i think... LOL! but it's a little awkward when i have 26er sleeping next to me especially when i do #3 on this list! 
3. i talk, laugh, scream, tell jokes, make sound effects while asleep. luckily for me, 26er sleeps like a log and when he hears me, he rarely understands what i'm saying.
4. i sprained both my ankles twice. this is probably why i randomly "almost" fall at times for no apparent reason while walking. i'm not tripping over anything, i'm not walking on an incline, i'm literally walking on a flat surface in a straight line and then all of a sudden, i will stumble over air. haha.
5. my facebook account has been deactivated since the 1st of January. however, i found a loop hole on the iPhone 4 to fbook creep without actually logging back in to fbook.
6. from all the guys i have dated, i'd count 5 of them as actual bfs. 2 of them i met through work and the other 3 through friends.
7. i've been up since 7:30 this morning and have barely left my bed this a.m. except to pee! LOL!

tag! you below bloggers are it!

2. kat at life in progress

anonymous comments now disabled!

well well well... looks like i've opened quite the can of worms with my ex-factor post. i have received another anonymous comment for that entry.

i've said this before and i'll say it again, THIS IS MY BLOG AND I CAN BLOG ON WHATEVER I WANT TO! with that being said, i blog about things that are on my mind since i'm not a person who vocally expresses feelings. so yea, i blogged about my ex and what he texted to me. but so what?! THIS IS MY BLOG! 

i have no shame, so i'll showcase the anonymous comment in a moment. but to the anonymous person who has no balls to reveal who you are, if you have a problem with me, you're a chicken shit! own up to your opinion and your thoughts instead of commenting anonymously.

because of your tactless ways, i have now disabled anyone commenting anonymously.

oh and by the way "anonymous", here's your comment for everyone to see. since i'm sure you intended it for everyone to read...

Anonymous has left a new comment on my post "the ex-factor":
"Let this be a huge reminder to everyone to think twice before sending this chick a text."

who ever you are, you should go find yourself some balls.
