Land Of The Living Skies

Land Of The Living Skies, this our motto here in Saskatchewan. You'll see it on the plates of our vehicles, you'll hear people say it, and you'll probably witness it if you've ever taken a look up at the sky once nightfall strikes. I do find this motto to be quite true. However, as time goes on and our ozone layer dwindles, I find our city becoming more and more windy. Now maybe it was like this when I was a child but I don't quite remember it being this bad. Therefore, I officially suggest that our new motto is 'The land of the CAR-RAZ-EEEEE WINDS'!

Smart man

My husband, he's a smart man. Like probably ten times smarter than I'll ever be which is fine cause it just means that I can play cute and innocent all the time. lol. But every once in a while, I'm able to pull one over on him. This does not happen often so I need to relish in it whenever possible. Not like gloat....okay, maybe I gloat a little but really, I need to take what I can get.
So today, I'm not sure how this came up in conversation, I remembered the time when I tricked him and OH how I tricked him good.

Me being the sweet wife that I am will occasionally give him a massage. So one night I'm massaging away like a SUPER AWESOME wife (gf at the time) would. At the end of it, I thought it would be funny to flick his nippies. So, I did! (insert evil laugh)

Keith: What was that for?!
Me: What?! They always flick your nipples after a massage. (and then I gave a look like he was weird for not knowing this)
Keith: Really?!
Me: uncontrollable fits of laughter - giggling.....nnnnnooohhhoooo....pfffffttttt....oooo.....snort....na......ooohhh....choke.....wheezing.....catches breath, No, they don't flick your nipple after a massage!!!

I can't remember what happened after that. I think I was so light headed from all the laughter. I'm pretty sure Keith looked confused, then started laughing. I just told him I got him GOOOOOOOOOOOD! Cause I totally did and he can deny it ALL he wants but I know the truth. For at least one second, he believed that we are actually supposed to get our nipples flicked after a massage. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I know, I'm so going to hell for that one.LOL!

Product of the week (although it's not an actual product)

This is one of my MOST favorite websites in the world.
Why? Because it's an online tool that helps with weight loss and you can sign up for FREE! I do believe that you can also pay if you want access to more things. However, without paying, I can look up calorie information on many foods and beverages. Oh, and you can also enter in nutritional information on foods they might not have in there which I think is pretty handy. They also have a tool where you can enter what you weigh, how much you want to lose and it will calculate how much you have to lose per week to meet your goal. Of course you can always recalculate it if you wish to do so. By far the best thing I think, is that I can track what food I eat and my activities for the day and it will calculate how many calories I had that day and how much I burnt. It is SO GREAT! It really is one of the most handy dandy sites I've come across.

Anyway, for anyone battling the bulge like I am might really appreciate this site. I know I do. ENJOY!

Battle of the bulge

As most of you probably know, I have battled with my weight my ENTIRE life. I'm up, I'm down, I'm all around. Since the beginning of January, with much dedication, I have been going to the gym at least three times a week which isn't too shabby. Last week, my gym gal pal and I went for the full five days. Kudos to us for sure but I still don't think I've lost a single pound so like, wtf?! lol.
Meanwhile, my gym gal pal is doing AMAZING! In fact, this weekend we exchanged clothes and I was SO pleased with what she gave to me (and super appreciative) - all of which I hope to fit into soon. :) As for her, she walked out of here with a box full of clothes (that I currently don't fit into) which pretty much all fit her. YAY! I can honestly say that I love the progress we're making. And even though I don't think I've lost a single pound, I can say that I've gained some things, besides weight! lol.
So far, I've gained energy during the day, I've gained endurance AND most importantly, I've gained a new friend! I mean, losing weight is great but the experience is what life is really all about for me personally. Although, losing some weight along the way would be AWESOME after all! lol. And now the opportunity has arisen to do a challenge which is similar to The Biggest Loser show that I keep himming and humming about.

We (the people that choose to enter) weigh in once a week and the outcome is based on our percentage lost as opposed to pounds so that no one will actually know what we weigh. THANK GAWD! lol. They intend to have incentives along the way to keep us motivated which is cool because like, who doesn't like to be rewarded?! When we first weigh in, we will be assigned a number that we will use for all weigh ins instead of our names. So really, no one will actually know who is losing the most every week unless it ends up being them self. At the end of it all, if you walk away being the biggest loser, that's when you get all the attention and MONEY! To claim the prize (guarateed $500 for 1st place) you just hand in your handy dandy number for your claim to fame. Ofcourse the winner has to be okay with their name and their percentage of weight lost being announced which is fine by me. Oh, and what would I do with that money won if I were to be the biggest loser? Well I think I would treat me to a fancy dinner with lots of cheesy, yummy, food and oodles of chocolate fun for dessert! Okay, maybe know you can see my fear of why I might not be successful if I enter. LOL! :)
This seems like an exciting thing to do yet I find myself discouraged cause I haven't had much success in the past few months. But then again, what do I really have to lose?! (you know, besides like a million pounds)???! lol.

.....To Be Continued......

Product of the week is.....

NACHOS from the Freehouse! So good! I've had them two times now and they are so yummy! I don't even have to ask for extra cheeeeeeese and they are COVERED in cheese. Oh cheese, how I love you even though I'm sssssoooo not supposed to eat you!
Anyway, if you're looking for super FANTABULOUS nachos, Freehouse is the place to go!!! Damn, now I want nachos again! lol. Did I fail to mention I've had a few doubles put in me?! But in all honesty, I've had the nachos sober too and that's when I fell in love with them...it was my first time! Oh, and they come with the best guacamole I've EVER tasted in my entire life!!!

Moral of the story...I had WAY to many doubles and the NACHOS were AWESOME (despite how many drinks I had)!

Dear Mother Nature (and other random thoughts)...

Dear Mother Nature,

Winter was SO last season, so like, wtf?!

Kindly,

Other random thoughts:

I thought seeing a dead corpse in a body bag would be the most awkward thing I would witness this year, an uncomfortable meeting proved me VERY wrong.

Did I look like I was ten years old when I got my license?! YIKES!

Is it possible that people are acting half crazy because it's a half moon?

It scares me to death, to think about death. I imagine being a in a seniors home and not knowing if I'll wake up from my nap or from a good night's sleep. What FREAKS me out even more is that it could happen at any time really.

I make more money than I did two years ago, but I seem to have less of it. :s

I've officially seen two people (whom I consider to be pretty) that have hairstyles that make it appear as though they have no chin. Why, oh why, would someone do that to themselves and why, oh why, would their stylist allow it?!

My husband is NEVER allowed to do a cleanse again when he has access to junk food which is nearly impossible considering we have a 711 across the street from us.lol.

Ta ta for now. :)

Monday....Monday...na-na, na,na,na,naaaaaah...

Today, was an eventful day. I was busy at work, had an excellent, workout, choked on water and saw a dead body zipped up in a blue body bag. That's right, you read that correctly!!! Now to some people, like people that work in a hospital, it would probably be no biggie. I, on the other hand, walked away with a HUGE case of the heebie jeebies. Like I said, it was an eventful day. hehe.

So towards the end of the day, a couple of co-workers and myself were chatting. One lady, we'll call her L.A. was talking about changing her hair. As we were discussing this, I asked her if she would ever consider cutting her hair shorter. To this, she responded, 'I don't want it much shorter or I can't get it up'. If you know the pervy mind I tend to have on a regular basis, then you'll understand why I started giggling. Of course my fellow co-workers started laughing as well. Once done giggling like 10 year old girls, the conversation went on. While still talking, my mind went back to her comment about not getting it up. That's when it all went Ca-RRRAAAZY! I kind of smiled and chuckled and as I did this, I was taking a sip of my water. Which, went down the wrong tube and caused me to choke. But me being me, I try containing the choking and the laughter which results in the water spouting out of my mouth like a freakin' fountain. Once all the water is gone, I continue choking, coughing and burping. Not only that, but I seem to remember sounding like I was barking out burps that I feared would end in me throwing up. Now, this wouldn't have been so bad but at the same time, I'm trying not to laugh! Why, you ask. Simply because while I'm trying to calm down and get my choking, coughing, burping, and barking under control, my co-workers were literally KILLING themselves laughing. L.A. actually had to walk away because she was laughing so hard. What a nice gal, huh?! lol.
Once everything subsided, my other co-worker, (we'll call her A.L.) finally managed to ask if I was okay once she was done laughing.lol. Which, I was but I was a little shaken and I was still giggling because I can imagine how damn funny I must have looked. Tears and all, me, choking on water while giggling about it. As I said before, I never said I was classy. :p

So now onto the dead body part. :s
At some point, L.A. had noticed while chatting with us that there were cop cars at the apartment complex across from where we work. This is not an unusual thing as it's not the most well looked after building in the city (not my workplace, but the apartment building). As usual, we took a quick glance and dismissed it. Within no time after the choking and everything, it was the end of the day and A.L. and I headed out. On my way out to my truck while crossing the street I see the cop car pull away. THEN, I see a man and women come out with a gurney. Fully loaded with a dead body in a blue body bag that resembled a blue duffel bag. BLECH! I mean, it's all I can say, it really CREEPED me out. I mean, I've seen deceased people before at funerals and everything but EEEEEWWWWW! What's worse is that I tried to avoid walking by them at all costs but I was halfway across the one street before I noticed what was happening. THEN, to cross the other street, I had to cross the street with the man and woman AND the dead person on the gurney so that I could get to my truck and they could get to there 'dead person carrier vehicle' (insert correct word here). Even just remembering it is making me feel all icky again (and I just showered)!!! But here's the thing, it's probably vain of me to call the vehicle they use the 'dead person carrier vehicle' but I also feel vain because of the thought that went through my head when I saw that blue body bag.

Instead of reflecting on life and thinking about my 'near death' experience when I choked on the water (rolls eyes at myself), I thought, 'DAMN, how the F would I ever fit in that bag (especially if I DID die while choking on my water all the while having my co-workers stand there and laugh'???! I need to get to the gym ASAP!!! lol.
