{Homework Sucks}

I just did homework for like 5 hours.. Of course the entire time I was doing it I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open- now I'm wide awake! What's with that?

Homework Sucks, there really isn't much more to it.

{170 and Counting}

It’s been awhile, I know and I’m sorry. I find it hard to blog every night as I’d planned because my life isn’t all that exciting. I do the same things everyday, over and over again.. with a few exceptions of course, like this past weekend! We celebrated one of my bestgirls’ 21st Birthday. It was 10 days belated but we still had so much fun. We all got together at some friends’ house downtown and drank some drinks, ate some food and then went dancing! All in all it turned out to be a pretty fun night with some fabulous people. I have some pretty amazing girlfriends who in turn have some pretty amazing boyfriends so I definitely don’t have many complaints in the “friends department” (aside from the fact that I don’t get to see them nearly as much as I would like to). Here’s a couple pictures I stole off the Pop Opera website. The Birthday Girl looking beautiful as ever in red and her entourage dressed in the B-day Dress Code; Black. My friends are so gorgeous they could wear garbage bags and still look wonderful but I kinda enjoy the heels, hair and makeup!

On a less exciting note, I’ve been feeling really anxious for school to be done lately. I mean, the day I started I was pretty much looking forward to the day it would be over, but at this moment I can barely wait. It’s not because I don’t enjoy it, in fact, I really enjoy the course. I can see myself loving my career in the future but I’d just really like to get on with it already! Maybe it’s because we’re half way through. We’ve started talking a lot about practicum and where and when they will be held and that’s exciting. Maybe it’s because 3/4 of the people in my class are useless and do nothing but waste our time, or maybe it’s the simple fact that I’m homesick and just want to move home already. Regardless of the reason, I just know that I can’t wait for it to be done. Only 170 days left! That’s 4079 hours.. or 244757 minutes. Whichever way you look at it, it’s so close.. and yet, so far. Sigh.

Now for the wii update: I've seen on some other blogs that people are doing something called "McFatty Mondays". I'm not really sure what it's all about but it seems that this is the day these fellow bloggers tell their "followers" and anyone else who wants to listen, how their exercising and weight loss is coming along. They also include their goals for the week to follow. At first I thought it was a little bit silly however, the more I thought about it the more I liked the idea. Having goals is one thing but actually putting them out there for everyone to read is another. I think it gives you more drive to accomplish things when other people know about them. So here it goes.. since I've got my wii fit (11 days ago) I've lost 3lbs. At first the graph was up and down daily 1-3lbs however I realized I needed to start weighing myself at the same time each day and it has steadily gone down each day since I've started doing that. I don't actually see results but I feel amazing! I have so much energy and I am eating super healthy for the mos .... OMG.. C JUST CLIMBED INTO BED WITH A BAG OF POPCORN AND A CAN OF COKE.. HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!!! Sorry, what was I saying.. right, and I've been eating really healthy for the most part but I'm not being super strict about it because then I'm just going to start hating it and right now I'm enjoying it. So far it's going well and I really hope I can stick to it. Bikini weather will be here before we know it and I'm determined to be ready for it!

Goals for this week:

1. Drink 3-5 bottles of water a day (refilled, not store-bought, that's just bad for the environment!)
2. Work out at least once a day for a minimum of 25 minutes
3. Only have 1 Starbucks tea misto (lol)
4. Eat the grapefruits I bought WITHOUT sugar (sooo hard!) and lastly....
5. Resist this popcorn...... gaaah

{Shh, Don't Tell C!}

Okay, so... As you know C and I have been slightly addicted to our Nintendo Wii. I've been doing the entire yoga section and he's being doing the entire strength training session each night (as well as the games!). Tonight, however, we decided that in reality I was the one who needed the strength training and he was the one who should be doing the yoga. We decided we are going to alternate between strength and yoga every night so that we get all the exercise we need... or at least all that the Wii has to offer us. Tonight we did yoga. I went first and then when I was done C said he could do it better than me... haha.. Here is an audio video of C's first yoga experience. He'd kill me if I actually video'd him so instead I'm just going to let you all listen... Enjoy!

Are you laughing as hard as I was while I taped him? Did you notice that near the end he actually called me a "dirty slut"? Oh boy.

I guess it's safe to say, C + Yoga will continue to be a love/hate relationship.. or perhaps just a hate. The worst part about it is that tomorrow I have to do pushups... FML.

On a different note... School has decided, without my consent, that it's going to start getting REALLY HARD! Well, truthfully, I think our teacher has decided he no longer wants to teach us and instead he's going to give us crazy tough assignments without any direction whatsoever. If I was the only one having a difficult time right now I would be willing to say perhaps it's just me, unfortunately that's not the case. This past week he's been distracted and "out to lunch" (and that's not just an expression, he's aaalways out of our class getting coffee or making phone-calls) more so than usual. Hopefully he figures his shit out and he realizes that what he's doing isn't working before we all fail... Off to do homework, yay :| !

{If I had a Penis}

Today has been a long day.

I have a migraine, cramps, and tonnes of homework.

My house is too small to go anywhere that's quiet.

All I can hear is gunshots and explosions.

If I had a penis, the first thing I would do is this:

I HATE PLAYSTATION 3 AND ALL OF IT'S GAMES.

*sigh*

{A Wii Bit Distracted}

So apparently posting once a day is probably going to be a bit harder than I'd imagined it would. Week days won't be a problem but when it comes time for weekends, we are here, there and everywhere. C is playing COD right now so I figured I'd take a moment to make up for missing yesterday.

Yesterday morning I had an exam, which is never fun, but the upside to only having exams on Fridays is that as soon as we've finished writing it we're aloud to go home. School started at 8 and I was home before 10; A perfect start to the weekend! S came and picked me up at slightly after 11 and we went and did some shopping. Actually, come to think of it, it was more like hunting. I've been looking for a Wii everywhere, as I'd mentioned before, and I finally found one at Costco last night. S and I made dinner.. well, S did and I helped.. a little bit. Mostly I just played with her daughter, Miss A. We had a crazy dance party in her bedroom as Hannah Montana sang ever so... terribly, in the background. C came straight there after work as he works with S's bf B and we all ate dinner and then we watched the boys play PS3, so fun... ugh.

When C and I got home we set up the Wii and even though I was so tired, we played for a couple hours. Wii Fit is unreal! I was skeptical about it at first but my ass is burning today from lunges and step aerobics so it must be doing something! It's neat to see how many calories each exercise burns and trying to out-do C definitely made me more motivated. So far, I give it an A+.

That brings me to today. We woke up and both decided we should play some more Wii. Played for a couple hours, and then went to the grocery store (my bestie, T is coming for a sleepover tonight and requested salmon for dinner). When we got home R and J stopped by for a visit, we played more Wii and then I prep'd supper so I wouldn't have to do it later. Currently my arms hurt, my legs hurt, and my ass hurts.. good news is, my energy is through the roof!

As the title states, I'm a Wii bit distracted. Ta-ta for now!

{You Can Leave Your Hat On}

Gaaah!! I'm so excited right now. C ended up getting tickets to tonights Canucks game and at first I didn't really want to go because I wasn't feeling all that hot but I sucked it up and went anyways. After we got off the skytrain we had Mr. Tubesteak (of course!) because why would we pay 6$ for a hotdog inside GM Place when we could pay $5 for a smokie outside of it? We got inside and C bought me a T-shirt which I promptly put on - I'm trying to be the wife who's as big a hockey fan as her husband.. I used to find that hard but after tonight, who knows..

The game started off pretty good, within the first 2 minutes we had our first goal. The 2nd period was fairly boring so we purchased some 50/50 tickets and discussed how we were going to spend our $24000. We came up with some really good ideas. C said he'd buy me a car but I reminded him that I had bought the tickets (with the last $10 I owned, may as well go all-in!) so I would buy myself a car and he could just tell everyone he bought it for me..I'm a sweetheart, I know. The 3rd period was awesome. There was fights, blood, and lots of action. Burrows got himself his second hat-trick in 2 games and the crowd went wild. I quickly made sure that C wasn't planning on throwing his brand new hat on the ice and after he assured me he wasn't, we all cheered and cheered. This is the first game I have seen the Canucks win at GM Place and I must say it was awesome to feel the excitement of the crowd. I know Vancouver fans can be quite the "bandwagon jumpers" but let me tell you, when we're winning you wouldn't be able to find a happier group of 18000 people if you tried! Maybe my bad luck is over. C said it's because of my new shirt and that now I have to wear the shirt on every game day and if they lose and I didn't wear it then it's my fault. Now if only there was a way to be as excited about watching the games on TV...

Other than the sports talk I don't have much to say today. I went for coffee with my girlfriend, S, last night. We sat at Starbucks for a good 3 hours discussing everything from shopping to sex (what else does a girl need? Haha! Jokes) and it was nice to sit down and visit without the constant gunshots and swearing in the background.. No, I don't live in a bad neighbourhood but I do have a husband who is sllliiiiggghtly addicted to his PS3- not something I wish to rant about tonight but I'm sure you'll hear about it sooner or later, probably sooner. I enjoy simple things like going for coffee and girl talk because I sometimes find it hard to get in enough time with my friends. This isn't because I don't like to see them but between work and school schedules (mine and theirs) it's hard to find the time. I feel like I shouldn't have to pencil them into my calendar, or be written into theres, simply to have a coffee or watch a movie but it seems these days that's exactly what happens. Every visit is planned out weeks in advance just to make sure it happens. This whole Grown-Up thing is amazing and I love many aspects of it but it's times like these where I just wish I was back in highschool. The good ole days when skipping school and drinking beer at the beach was something spontaneous.. and done daily. Sigh.

Until tomorrow, xo.

{Motivation is Key}

A post a day, that's my goal. So far it's going good but we'll see how long I can keep it up, after all, this is all new to me still! I made some changes to the blog today.. mostly out of boredom- story of my life.

Now that Christmas holidays are over reality calls and I've started looking for a job. Turns out that living off a single income doesn't exactly support my shopping, lunch dates, or $5 Starbucks lattes. Not only that, I hate having to rely on C for everything, especially to pay MY bills. I know, I know, now that we're married "what's mine is yours" regardless, I don't like it and so the job hunt begins. It's been a nice month off but I knew it couldn't last forever. My school hours change on Monday so now I'll be attending class from 12-4:30pm and I'm not impressed about it. These stupid hours will make it even tougher for me to find a new job because I'm going to be limited to evenings. late nights + early mornings are no fun but I only have 7 more months and it's all over... I'll survive.

The Canucks won last night.. 7-3. It's because we didn't end up going. That's right, every game I watch, we lose. I've been to 3 games at GM Place and I'm yet to see them win. The second I turn the game on the TV, or sit down to watch it, the other team gets a goal. I'm bad luck. C ended up giving our tickets to a friend at work yesterday because we were going to be too rushed to get there on time. I was looking forward to it but instead I went on with my initial plans. I cooked the roast (in the slow cooker!), did laundry, and cleaned up around the house. C got home from work and we ate, watched the Canada vs. USA gold medal game. We lost - you can blame me, it was probably my fault. After the game We turned on a movie and I was sleeping by 8pm. No nap=tired D. All in all, it was a relaxing and nice night at home with C.

School today was pretty funny. We've got some rather interesting people in our class. I won't go into too much detail but there is one lady who has had 5 children and didn't know that you urinate and gave birth out of two separate holes, another girl who mutters to herself about everything she does, ie (while opening her water bottle) "yup, I'm just going to have a little sip of this", and multiple people who would scare just about anybody out of getting their blood taken simply by watching them take it. There is a reason I only ever let K take my blood.. most everyone else scares me because they're so terrible. K doesn't even leave bruises and I am so thankful to her for not making me look like a needle addict. Speaking of school, I got a print off of my marks today, all A's and an overall grade of 90%. I guess enjoying what you're doing pays off. It makes me want to continue to the best that I can. Oh, and also, that project that was due today, isn't actually due until tomorrow. Hooray for finally finishing something before the VERY last minute!

I've resisted napping for the past 2 days. I'm hoping that if I make it all week my urge to sleep the afternoon away will be gone. I'm feeling okay today however I did sleep from 8 last night until 7 this morning so it's no surprise I'm not tired. On a brighter note, literally, it's a beautiful day out there and I even had to wear my sunglasses while I walked to the grocery store earlier. I'm hoping that once the weather starts getting warmer C will finally give in to my nagging and start going for walks with me. His excuse right now is that it's too cold out there, I wonder what it will be once it's warm! hehe. But seriously, I need to start exercising more. I've been begging for a Wii so I can get Wii Fit. Unfortunately since Christmas the entire World (okay, maybe not quiiiite) is sold out of the damn things. C says that as soon as we can find one we'll buy it and this makes me happy. Motivation is key and right now I have it, lets hope it sticks around!

{Hockey & Hotdogs}

Okay, so here's the thing.. last night after I signed off I decided to turn on a movie. I knew that I'd watch about 2 minutes of it and fall asleep.. right. After the 2 hour long movie it was 3:30 in the morning and my alarm was set for 6am. I hit the "snooze" button about a thousand times and then when I finally drug my ass out of bed I realized I could barely see because my eyes were so puffy from crying while watching "My Sisters Keeper" only a mere 3 hours prior. C quickly informed me how much he hates that I hit the snooze button so many times and that I am no longer allowed to be in charge of the alarm clock... THANK FUCKING GOD- I hate that thing!

Anyways, as the morning progressed I was already thinking about my afternoon nap and dreading that when I wake up from it I have to write an entire essay project that I've had weeks to do, yet never even started; it's due tomorrow. These thoughts are mixed in with the dilemma of whether I should cook the roast in the slow cooker or the oven. My thoughts were interrupted when C said "be ready when I get home from work, we need to leave right away." Leave for what!? Oh right.. the Canucks game. Well that solves dinner plans.. Mr.Tubesteak it is!

This is actually good news. Not only do I get a lovely "date night" with C (even if it is to a sports game), I had to do my project at school instead of tonight. This means my afternoon is free of everything. No cooking, no homework, just.. well, napping! Oh wait, there's still that laundry... hmm?

ps. I have a feeling I'm going to need some sort of AA for bloggers. I'm already addicted.

{Late Nights, Early Mornings & Naps.. Repeat.}

It's 1:30am on a school night and I should be sleeping. Instead, I've decided to take up blogging. Why am I awake? Because I got home from school at 12:30 this afternoon and, instead of unpacking my suitcase and doing my ever dreaded "Christmas vacation laundry", I had a nap. Not just any nap though.. a four hour nap - because that was so necessary. I woke up from my nap at approximately 5:06. I know this because that's what time I set my alarm for... roughly 9 minutes before C arrives home from work (sneaky right? sshhh, don't tell!). He hates it when I nap because then I can't fall asleep at night. Not falling asleep when I should makes for a terrible morning, a shitty day at school, and then, the one thing I think about from the moment I wake up... a nap! It's a vicious circle really and I tell myself daily that it won't happen tomorrow, unfortunately, it's been going on for months. Having said that, I'm finally beginning to feel as if I could fall asleep. Sweet Dreams, wish me luck tomorrow!
