Holy Hiatus!

It has been SO effin' long since I wrote a new blog post. I don't know what is wrong with me! Cereally you guys, you shouldn't let me go this long without posting ever again. Welp, life has been weird lately. Had to deal with some unexpected stuff, but I won't bore you with the details of those events. The long and short of it is that I've been able to really assess my life...step back and see what direction I want to go and be positive about it.
Here's some fun stuff though. Me and the gal pals went to Canada! We packed up my tiny little car and made the 15 hour drive (yes we left at 3:00 a.m. and drove straight through!) to the great white north. Here's the summation of the trip according to me..
  • I hate Idaho.
  • It's really fun to call Butte Montana, BUTT Montana (I'm sure NO ONE has ever done that before).
  • The security people at the border are cranky pants!...oh and it takes 20 minutes to get a stamp in your passport so don't ever ask them.
    Canada is not labelled well.
  • Banff National Park is the most BEAUTIFUL place I've ever been.
  • America needs Poutine...fries with brown gravy and mozzarella chunks. I know it sounds super sick but it's deeeeeeeeee-lish.
  • There aren't homeless people in downtown Calgary...or if there are, they do a really good job of hiding them. WTF Calgary?! I wanted to see some bums!
  • 4-wheeling is called "quadding". It makes more sense than saying 4-wheeling in my opinion. Good job Canada.
  • Slurpees from the Sev are a gajillion times better in Canada.
  • Billionaire Prince, Pregnant Mistress
  • #14 Calgary Viper Jorge Mejia and I had a moment.
  • Kim can fall asleep anywhere...including a folding chair in the middle of a kitchen and a boat. (Note the pictures Exhibit 1&2 below)
  • My car can sleep 4....uncomfortably and inconveniently.
  • I hate Idaho.
Our trip was truly one of the funnest times in my life. We all got along famously. Oh and on the last day we were there, I deleted ALL of the pictures on my camera. Yes probably 300 pictures or more, gone in a matter of seconds. You'd think after the FIRST incident of me deleting all of the pictures on my camera that I wouldn't do it again but it happened. Not to fear though, a good friend suggested checking out a local camera shop that did data retrieval and they got close to all of them back. It was the best $15.00 I've ever spent. They were able to get back all of the pictures I had deleted from the first time around too! I looooove technology.

Here are a few pictures from the trip! There's lots so gird your loins.

Bienvenue (I have no idea if I spelled that right and I'm too lazy to Google)

Fields of mustard seeds. They're all over the place!

Moraine Lake...yes, the water is really that blue. Seriously the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Oh and snaps to Adi for getting us all in this photo!

Canoes!



Lake Louise!

Asian cowboy...Mary was sneakily snapping photos of him. Kim's team!

Adi was feeling a little sick and upchucked in the lake. (ok, not really. It looks like that though, huh?!)

The day we went quadding with Geordie. Our feet got really muddy because....

Kim got the truck stuck : ) It was quite the adventure.



Mud war.


Inside the Calgary Tower standing on the glass floor. Eek!



Downtown Calgary. No vagrants!

MACK Attack!

If you have questions about cowboy hats, they can help you out.

Calgary Vipers baseball game!

Georgia

This is what happens when you're spastic with a glue gun.

Yes, that's a ginorm blister on my thumb. So sick, huh?! I named her Georgia.

One Of The MANY Reasons I Love Kim- 3rd Edition

I haven't posted one of these in a while but Kim is in quite the chipper mood today and all of her e-mails coming to me are making me die laughing. Please to enjoy...


"Yeah we are going camping. I hope I don't get into any fights. Why would I get into fights? I don't know. Just to try something new. I better get fed a smore. Correction, Two smores. And I want a piece of cornbread. I love that crap."

Are You Sick Of It?? TOO BAD!

So I know pretty much every other post is about Warhol. He's like my child which is obviously bad and I think Cesar Milan would totally judge me and tell me that I'm not a strong pack leader.

But seriously, when your dog is as cute as Warhol, you kind of tooootally can't help it. I've slowly been losing control though. First, I bought him a Halloween costume, then a few months later a fashionable yet masculine sweater for winter, 2 weeks ago I ordered him a $17 collar off Etsy and then a week ago I had my hooker nugget friend Natalie stage a Warhol photo shoot. You guys, they're the cutest pictures ever and you can view a few of them HERE! You won't regret it. The one of him perched on the stool is my absolute favorite. Snaps to you Nat for taking such bad ass pictures of Warhol McScruffypants. Sometimes it's not easy as he has canine A.D.D. and can't concentrate on anything for more than 3 seconds...well unless you shove a treat in his face.

Unhealthy Obsession

I'm sitting here drinking a sugar-free Red Bull {it gives me wiiiings!} because I'm incredibly tired this morning.

Why?? you ask...because of Dexter.



Patrick and I started watching it on a recommendation from my gal pal Cheree and now we can't stop.
Rent it. You will be glad you did.

The SADDEST Day

I was just going through the pictures on my digital camera. There were SO many fun pictures on it and I just hadn't bothered to take them off and put them on my computer but I was planning on doing that later today. Well I decided to just delete a few blurry pictures and somehow, because I'm a HUGE MORON, I deleted ALLLLLLLL the pictures that were on my camera....gone are the memories of last night's amazing No Doubt concert, last week's hilarious Dane Cook show, the video of Kim touching her face in her sleep and a plethora of other fantastic photos. I'm in complete shock over what I just did. WHY WHY WHYYYYY did that have to happen to me? Honestly, this is shitty and ranks up there with having papercuts in the webs of your fingers.

argh.
