My Tim Horton’s Roll-up losing streak now stands at 0/15. And life couldn’t be better. Remember I mentioned that I only win at the Roll-Ups when something catastrophic happens. Boyfriend dumping, Job ending kind of terrible. It seems that the opposite is also true. The more I lose, the better things seem to get. -Work … Continue reading Biggest Loser

Five hours and many hundreds of dollars later, I have a single jacket. My mom, however, could’ve used a sherpa. It’s Saturday night, I have invites to four parties, and none sound as good as spending the evening recouperating on my couch. Continue reading I shopped, I dropped

I picked up a pair of tickets a while ago, and am met with responses ranging from mild … Continue reading Santa Fox?
Vacation, Got to Get Away! Yah, it’s about that time where I’m ready to singe off my eyelashes one by one, so before that happens, I’d like to take some time off to rejuvenate. But, I have NO IDEA where to go or what to do. So, dear readers, it’s now your turn to recommend … Continue reading All I Ever Wanted
Since my usual gym is undergoing renovations, I’ve been a) slacking off and b) occasionally venturing out to another gym when I feel like I can’t take the sloth any more. Turns out the “other gym” is actually Colene’s gym. Oh my god everything she says about the place is TRUE. The prissy girls, the … Continue reading Buff the Stuff

On one side of the coin, I’m so excited that … Continue reading Dilemma
tivos are good for licking Originally uploaded by hessiebell. That’s right my babies.. IT’S MINE! I’m just shy of freakin’ exhausted, and considering the time setup takes, I may not get it fully operational until after I return from a weekend away. But my Pay Per View parties will now include custom instant replays, and … Continue reading tivos are good for licking

If you insist on disagreeing with me, I’m fully prepared to give you an intimate introduction to the differences in equipment. Anyway, I … Continue reading Rock On
One Night in Canadian Rock ‘n’ Roll. I swear, this shit just does not happen to people! Except it did!
