T.G.I.F

Holy crackers! This morning was -48 degrees Celsius with the wind chill! C-O-L-D.  Only 2 more full months of winter then its spring! 

I decided to start my spring cleaning early this year.  Starting this weekend I want to clean/organize my storage room/crawlspace; mainly because it’s super messy, I live in a tiny little house and with 2 adults and 3 kids “stuff” adds up quickly and it doesn’t hide either; and also we are anticipating a move in the very near future, I’d say within the next 2 months, I’ve been saying that for a year now, but I REALLY MEAN IT this time! Anyways, if I’m all organized and everything is in its proper Rubbermaid bin then the big move down the street should be a walk in the park.  I hope...but it sure will be nice to have the extra space and yard and not having to pay rent is also a bonus. 

I played hockey this week for the first time this season, actually for the first time in over a year since I didn’t play last year either.  It went surprisingly well, except for this one drill where I had NO CLUE what was going on and basically skated around in circles like a moron while everyone seemed to know what they were doing and where they were going.  Aside from that it was good, I must thank Turbo Jam for preparing me as I felt a lot more strength in my legs which meant that I was able to skate faster, with the occasional loss of balance of course but I did not fall once.  I have a fear of falling on the ice, in 2008 I fell flat on my behind while trying to do this backward/forward conversion thing and I literally could not get out of bed for a week! Ever since then I’m a lot more cautious of my actions.  I hope to keep attending practices this year although sometimes it is hard to find the time with 3 kids.  Most days, actually everyday from after work at 5pm until 8pm I run around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to make supper or do bath time and then eat supper, laundry, tidy up, bed time, prepare for the next morning, etc.  Then I collapse into the couch to watch some mindless reality TV.

Speaking of reality TV, I was thinking recently that I have become so accustomed to reality TV that when I try to watch a regular sitcom with actors and a script I just can’t get into it, even if it’s really funny or interesting.  I would just rather watch reality shows, even though they’re not exactly “reality” by definition these days.  I have a whole line up of reality shows I watch that changes season to season, and it doesn’t even matter what it’s about, I’d rather watch teenagers raise their babies then a good sitcom relevant to my age group.  I’m a slave to MTV.  Oh well....

Well, that’s enough of my Friday afternoon musings.  I wish everyone a great weekend! Yes, by “everyone” I really mean you Susie.  Call me tomorrow.  Which reminds me: I really should send the link to some other people haha.

I will post pictures in the near future I promise!

Resolutions 2011 edition

So I decided to start a blog! Maybe I should say it was a New Year’s Resolution to have a response when people ask me “why?” or “what is it about?” Rather than reply: “uhhh because I want to” and “uhhh nothing really” respectively.

Who remembers Bebo? I used to blog quite regularly on there when that site was all the rage, like everyday almost.  So I thought I would start up an old habit mostly due to boredom and a little bit of envy of my blogger friends.  I assume my followers will be my close friends who I will force to read and perhaps some curious Facebook friends who just happen to be online when I share the link. 

Anywayssss this blog is going to be about New Year’s Resolutions. 

Start new blog aside, 2011 brings many, many new resolutions for me...including: finish renovating and move into free house from Dad; which will lead to: buy new furniture for newly renovated house; quit smoking (which is going very well I might add, I have not smoked since the wee hours of January 1^st, mind you I was not a heavy smoker to begin with.); the usual healthy lifestyle pledge; buy more shoes, I know this one is weird, but I’ve just started working again full-time after 8 months of Maternity EI and I have not bought a pair of shoes in literally over a year!;  pay off bucket loads of debt...this actually conflicts with the buying of shoes and furniture, oh well I never said these resolutions had to make sense.  So these are a few of my goals and dreams for 2011.  I decided to share some so I would have some incentive to actually stick to it, so if you see me around sometime in the future you can ask how my shoe collection is going.

So yup that’s about it for now, stay tuned for 2012’s resolutions coming January 2012, also stay tuned for the results of this year’s resolutions coming mid-December 2011.  Exciting, I know.

Well that’s all for now folks..or folk.. talk to you in 2-4 days.
