Creeping and Shoes

I’ve been doing so much creeping lately.  Facebook.  Nexopia.  Links off those.  It’s kind of fun though.  And it’s a way of “catching up” with people I never talk to.  In it’s own way.

I (finally!) wore my new shoes.  They were only like $8 at Claire’s.  Nothing fancy.  But they’re flats, and since I’m more of a stiletto heels person, this is a pretty big deal.  They turned out to be fairly comfy overall.

I was looking at Aldo’s fall line yesterday; I’m definitely excited.  There are a few I need to go try on.  Then I’ll decide whether it’s worth a splurge.  I’ll probably wait till after Montreal though.  Just to make sure I don’t overspend too much.

Can you tell I like black?!  I’m almost a little afraid of going with colour though, since I never know what to wear it with.

My cell phone’s camera was working again today.  :-)

Change Is On It’s Way

I have had “post a blog” on my To Do List for the past month.  I managed to get one entry up a couple weeks ago, but that’s pretty pathetic to my mind.  Perhaps I just have my expectations set too high, so I don’t even make an attempt.  That’s probably what it is actually – I always feel like I’m not putting forth my best effort if my post is shorter than 5 paragraphs or so.

This whole summer has been about change though, so I think changing my attitude towards blogging is easy enough to do.  Now I just want to post more often, with no expectations about length or content.  I’m also thinking I might use my cell phone to take pictures throughout the day (when it makes sense to), and upload those.  Just for something different.  Plus I’m thinking I need to post a link on my Facebook and Nexopia pages every time I post.  Having readers motivates me more.

I must say this is one of my better summers overall in terms of spending money (or in this case, not spending money).  It’s not that I’m not buying stuff, because I still am, I’m just a bit more selective.  So I usually get stuff that I will actually use.  And I’ve become much more dedicated about making up a list before I go.  Not that a list stops me from browsing and getting more than I need, but it does tend to minimize it a bit.

I’m also switching my credit cards around.  Because I want cards that have rewards that actually benefit me.  This was prompted when my CIBC Visa informed me the Shoppers Optimum Points option was being replaced by the Dividend/Cash Back option.  I don’t exactly use my card enough to get enough money back for it to be any use.  So I’ve gotten a Visa through Citizens Bank.  With every purchase, money is donated to a charity, and I earn points which can later be turned into yet another donation (and a tax receipt for myself).  That just makes way more sense to myself.  Now I’m trying to switch my BMO Mastercard with Airmiles for a Canadian Tire Mastercard so I can potentially get a free oil change a year instead of nothing with my Airmiles.  2 years, and there’s very little I can get with my points.

I miss doing my make-up differently everyday, and doing my hair.  Lately it’s just been some mascara and powder, and my hair up in a ponytail.  Exact same everyday.  I was putting a bit more effort into my make-up on the weekends, but I’ve been slacking off there too.  This is something else I want to change.  I’m going to make the effort to do one or the other, if not both.  It makes me feel good about myself.  Yea, I can feel good without them, but when you’re having a bad day, every little bit helps.

 

I had the day off work today, so I was actually able to get a lot accomplished.  It feels pretty good overall.  I’ve noticed I’m getting a lot more organized the older I get.  My room no longer has a huge pile in the middle.  I’ll put stuff on the floor sometimes, but it’s because I’d rather put it there than not put it away properly.  I also notice that when I feel stressed about something, any mess drives me absolutely bonkers and all I want to do is clean.

I managed to clean my fishes’ bowls tonight.  Well, to be honest I just changed the water.  Whenever I clean it, the chemical I add to neutralize the water makes the water go all murky.  And the fish make lots of bubbles that kind of crust on the top.  It’s very weird.  So essentially, I need to clean the bowls, put the water with the chemical in it for a day, and then put fresh water in so the fish don’t die.  Although they are pretty hardy fish.  They have to be with me.

Tonight is the first night of my Sleep Schedule.   I had to come up with something to help me prepare for 8am classes in the fall.  While the 8am part may not sound so bad, 1) I’m a night owl, and 2) I’m going to have to get up at 5:30am so I have time to get ready and catch the train.  But I’m not going to complain too much since I have no more than 3 classes a day, and I’m off by or before 3pm 3 days a week.

Now I think everyone who has read all of this should make me super happy and leave a comment (you don’t need an account or anything.)  Please?!

Hilariousity

Well, what can I say, the past few days have been interesting.  Some good, some bad, some ???

 So let’s start off with this picture.  Jill and I have been “making the rounds” comment-wise.  It makes me laugh – for so many reasons.  Actually, I can’t even name all the reasons it makes me laugh.  Although the consenus thus far is that I’m too tall, Jill needs a stool, she looks angry, and I look like a pornstar (which just happens to part of the reason I was inebriated).  You’re more than welcome to add your own commentary.  Or laugh.  Or admire.  Or whatever really. 

  Secondly, I think the “Steamy Shower Scene” video must be brought up.  If you have no clue what I’m talking about, I posted it on my Facebook.  I have to say, I think it’s a must see.  Very creepy, but entertaining.  Although it has made using that particular bathroom a bit more interesting.  I actually check to make sure there’s no activity of any sort happening in the shower whenever I go in there.  Just in case.  And I imagine, the first time I go to shower in there I’m going to be expending quite a lot of effort to keep the blinders on my mental pictures.

The next issue of hilariousity is most definitely my current ‘idea’ for my Halloween costume.  The plan: (best-case scenario) buy a nude-coloured bodysuit, and and sew black felt over my frontal pubic region, and my boobs, and over my butt; (worst-case scenario) buy some black bootyshorts and a nude strapless bra, and stick some black fabric of sorts over the front of the bra.  Then put on some running shoes, and voilà: a censored streaker.   I think Jessica is absolutely horrified, Katherine isn’t sure if she’s willing to admit she knows me, and my mom actually thinks its a good idea.  :-p  It all comes down to whether I can find the appropriate ‘materials’.  It’s fun to think about going to the big party at U of C dressed like this though.  Hopefully I’d be the only one dressed like that.  And it’s not like I’m going to feel uncomfortable being dressed in so little (which should perhaps be an issue I should look further into at a later date..?).

This just in:  Jen has just decided that the idea is racy, but funny.

 So I have to admit, I think those are the only things that really apply to the title of this blog.  Nothing else has happened that’s that interesting.  I mean, all of yesterday (and most of this afternoon) I worked on my computer programs.  They all work, although my third one is ridiculously long.  My French prof still pisses me off.  My hair and glasses are still totally sexy.  lol.

 Anyways, I’m off to watch some “A Shot at Love”.  Looks interesting.
