Customer Encounter

Don't you love being all toasty warm?
As of right now I'm bundled up in bed with the heater on.
Once I leave my domain, I will be in a deep freeze.

Yes I know, this is a miracle (for me at least, lately) 3 blogs in 4 days?!

I had an interesting encounter with a customer this morning.

Scene:
Me cleaning window sills (I'm a janitor, it's what I do) 
A small, older man walks into the store just as I'm heading over to the garbage can.
Man says "What happened to all the snow?"
I say "Excuse me?"
Man says "What's your name?"  Looks at my name tag
I say "S...."
Man says "That's an Irish name" (Note: I am not Irish.  At All.)
I say "Ohh."
Man says "Where did all the snow go? Now no one can see me."  He chuckles and gives me an enthusiastic side hug while I laugh along with him.


Strange but enjoyable encounter.

I spent the past 4 days with the boy.
I finally bought a new battery for my car.
Went to Tim Horton's at 11pm at night, which is the most exciting time to be at Tim Horton's by the way.
And that is all.
Oh and I went for dinner for Mom's birthday.
Chicken and feta together? So good.

Confession: I have over 800 photos on my ipod.  I have a tumblr addiction.

Next weekend is my birthday weekend.
I have no idea if I'm going to do anything.  The last time I did, I was turning 21.  I went bowling and then opened presents at Tim Hortons.
Tim Horton's is a part of all holidays/events for me.
All I know is that a) I need to make myself a cake and b) On my actual birthday (Monday) I need to blow out candles.

Do you do anything special for you birthday?
I always needs to blow out candles on my actual birthday, or else the wish doesn't come true....but I always forget to make a wish anyway.

Now to share some yum:

Angel food cake, light cool whip and strawberries.

So easy and so good.

My Oscar ballot.

I have yet to see the fashions, but the show was pretty good :)

I believe I scored 15/24.

Last year I got 16 right.  Next year will be better.

But I must say I am thrilled that Natalie Portman won.

My excited Oscar face.

Have a fantastic week!

Dear Boring Blog

It's feels like a lifetime since I last wrote on? in? to? you.

I should fill you in on what's been happening...or not happening.
The best way to fulfill this is with a list.  My favorite :)

-I managed to bake those chocolate chip cookies we talked about. Unfortunately within the duration of the last 24 hours there are (maybe) only 4 left.  I also made cupcakes in a cup from a kit my mom got me.  Yeah, they weren't that great.  Making cake from scratch or from a Betty Crocker box is best :)
Idea! I should tackle carrot cake this week.  Yummy!

-I bought new sheets.  Technically it was an exchange with something (useless) that I had bought.  The sheets are cream colored with tiny skulls on them.  Fact: I love skulls.

-I also bought new pillows.  They are the best pillows in the world (that I know of), they are Calvin Klein and they are at Costco .  Go buy some, they come in a pack of two.  Confession: I haven't had new pillows in almost 10 years.  Is that gross?  I was fine with it, my mom kind of made a face.  Oh well.

-I've been battling inner demons.  I won't get into detail as I don't want to disturb my peaceful blogging, but it is a main reason why I blog so sporadically lately.

-It snowed recently, but now that snow is gone.  Life on West Coast Canada: Rain.
But I did get a chance to go for a walk in it.

-Prawns and wings: good idea.

-Our Christmas tree is gone.  It's official the jolly time is over.  Time to look forward to Birthday Season (In case you didn't know, Birthday Season refers to this time of the year when all my high school friends and I have our birthdays...well I don't see much of them anymore, but there are still lots of birthdays from January to May to celebrate....Technically Birthday Season started yesterday when I went to a dinner, I guess.)

-Boring Blog, you should be proud.  I've started reading again, not as intense as before (3-5 books a week) but a nice leisurely pace, although I would like to pick it up to a couple books a week.

See that tiny silver thing in my ear?

Yep, that's it.

-I also got a piercing.  Just in my ear, it's called the "tragus".  Not too painful.  I even got a sucker afterwards.

-I'm on the fourth and final season of The O.C.  Fact: I watch seasons 1-4 around Christmas every year and then watch a few episodes here and there before Summer (the season, not the character) just to get me in a Summery mood.

-I just want to show off my mom's skills at unpack Chinese food.

Step 1: take the covering off the metal container
Step 2: have a plate ready and quickly flip the container over onto the plate.

Ta-da!

I was proud :)

-I haven't really done much lately, have I?  Fine, one last thing to tell you Blog.  I've been drinking mega amounts of H20 and I have never had to pee so much in my life.

Too much?

Goodnight.

♥

Oh and I missed the Golden Globes.  I am terribly disappointed about this.


How could I forget
