Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
I was out shopping with Neil last night, picking up a few things at the local pharmacy. Since I had Gravol on my list, and had already been tasked with picking out an appropriate bubble bath for his new soaker tub, I asked him to run and grab some for me. He picks up the … Continue reading If you want something done right…
Dear Tequila, Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on. No Love, -Jen ************** Other than that, Friday night’s party was a blast! I packed my modest apartment with an assortment of nearly 50 friends and friends’ friends, and a pretty good time was had by everyone. Everyone except me that is. For the … Continue reading 10 Rounds with Jose Cuervo
happy dog Originally uploaded by skyec. Yes, I know that when you love someone, you love them for who they are and not what they have. But I can’t help but be thrilled that Neil’s got a really kickass dog. Other than the fact that she’s named Sasha (and really, I’m not a fan of … Continue reading Benefits
As usually happens when you are seeing someone on a level that your schedule dictates whose house you’ll be sleeping at that night, the boy had a pile of dirty clothes at my place. And since I was doing laundry anyway, I figured I’d toss his dirty clothes in with mine (cuz I’m just sweet … Continue reading Smell-0-Vision
She: Want a Frosty with that? He: Hmm… She: You know you do… He: Sure, a small one I guess. She: (into the talking box) Ok, and… two small Frosties. He: … She: I was totally gonna get the medium, but you had to go and make the reasonable choice… He: I wonder if they … Continue reading Good for Me
Some of you may remember I was contemplating getting a tattoo while on vacation. It didn’t actually happen, but it came damned close! I was perusing the Miami Ink website, and lo and behold, they had an open call for applications to be tattooed on the show! So, with the help of Mel and Jen, … Continue reading Talking Head
Haircut blogging. Because I’m too busy for anything more substantial. Between trying desperately to get everything finished at work, and get everything prepped and packed for my trip, I’ve barely had time to think. That, and someone‘s been keeping me up WAY past my bedtime (which is why I look stoned in the photo – … Continue reading Bzzzz
We’re into the home stretch, and it’s now a mere 5 sleeps until Vacation! And so I present to you (more for my benefit than yours) what I will need to am going to attempt to get done (in addition to that whole “full-time-job” thing) in the next few days: Monday: -Order T-shirts for rowing … Continue reading Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda
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
In manic preparation for the impending tropical vacation (10 Sleeps Away!), I’ve been going to my local fake ‘n’ bake to get a base tan. While there, I noticed that my winter hibernation has left me with an ass that, while still fabulous clothed, is a bit more ample than it was over the summer … Continue reading Stupid Is…
Originally uploaded by melodrama.ca. Is up with the weather lately!?! (really, just an excuse to post this cute pic, courtesy of Mel, taken during the monsoon last Wednesday) Continue reading What the heck
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
Ok, so not mine as in they borrowed it and used it on TV and gave it back. But I did find it pretty odd to recognize my unremarkable Old Navy underwear making a cameo on Godiva’s the other day. Apparently the wardrobe coordinator and I have the same taste in undergarments. So, of course, … Continue reading My Underwear was on TV
When I started getting super busy (and lazy), I started breaking the first rule of lingerie ownership. I began putting my bras in the dryer. Of course, as is to be expected when one does such a foolish thing, they are quite a lot worse for wear. In fact, I am now down to two … Continue reading Bra Beaten
Dear Internets, I am tired. TIRED. This whole “having a life thing,” well I just don’t know how people do it. I get up early in the mornings, earlier than I need to for work, because it’s the only time of day I have left to do things like laundry, and empty the dishwasher, and … Continue reading Her Royal Highness
