Summer Lovin

Does everyone remember Are You Afraid of the Dark? And Goosebumps? Those used to scared the crap outta me. Now they are a bit hilarious, but still fun to watch. For some reason I want them so that I can expose my kids to them someday. This also goes for 90's Disney movies and the Magic School Bus.

Last week has been a pretty good week for spring/summer weather here in Edmonton. It hailed last weekend but we won't talk about that. All of the local restaurants are opening their patios, and I am too! PATIO SEASON. Yesterday I bought a BBQ which I today will attempt to assemble and some fun tiki lights and citronella candles. Going to be a good time. I miss outdoors so much. Summer is just something people crave, and now it's here and I'm already mind planning camping trips for this summer. Also I am looking forward to going home again for my best friends wedding! Where who knows what kind of shinanigans we will get up to but I will ensure it includes a few days at my camp. Cheers!

Aw geez, l'amour. L'ete. I'm, sort of in love with you. I don't know whether to go for a walk, a bike ride, camping of fishing! <3 So I choose all of the above.

Now I must make eggs.

Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society...

Paleo Diet Update #2

Well! It has almost been a week of eating "Paleo" (it feels like a year) - I'm not going to sugar coat it, it's sorta bullshit because let me tell you eating strictly paleo is extremely difficult. And sort of confusing.

When they say, 'Only eat what cavemen could have eaten', it makes me think of really bare necessities. But based on a lot of the snacks and recipes, that's not so accurate. Cavemen did not have almond butter, but you can eat it because it's made of almonds. But it is still processed. I don't get it. Finding grass fed meat is...well I don't know where to get it and I'm too busy to really look so I bought normal meat. And does bacon count? Because then...yay. Do hotdogs count? Like All beef hotdogs? I don't know, as I said it's a bit confusing.

However as a diet, this Paleo thing is working. I have gone down about 5lbs since Sunday. Which doesn't mean so much really. We'll see what the scale reads next weekend. Of course I'm going to lose weight since I'm not eating fast food or a bunch of carbs like chips and candy...dddduuuhhh. Because really I was eating that a lot before. Don't know how much can be attributed to the actual eating of meat and veggies only, and nothing man-made like splenda.

This diet is boring to the extreme. Diets suck. Sooooooooooooo boring. Shit I miss salad dressing, even fat free salad dressing. That's sad. I should be missing chocolate, probably. Fuck. Alright well I'm going to keep doing it. Will update again soon.

PS: Eating hamburger meat at work with chopsticks is fun.



Haha poo poo diet

What Dating Is Like In Your Twenties

In high school, relationships were easy...

But now you're an adult.

Sucks for you!

Time for STAGE ONE of Young Adult Dating: Hit on Everyone in Sight.

Step two: Awkwardly introduce yourself and your, er, interest.

When they reject you, which is approx. 9/10 times, you're totes cool with it.

You decide to try online dating...

Except all the people who write to you online are, uh, not your type.

Your friends are starting to worry about you...

Especially when you start coming on to them.

You've finally made enough bad decisions to be ready for STAGE TWO: Your First Serious Adult Relationship.

Just when you thought it was time to give up on dating completely because everyone is so shallow and terrible...

You spy your "soulmate" for the first time.

They agree to go out with you, and the two of you have your first AWESOME adult date!

And juuuuust as soon as you're happy, you are overcome by anxiety and self-doubt.

You feel completely unable to express your true feeling to your new SO.

And then when you finally do, it comes out all wrong.

At which point, your "soulmate" is like...

And then they actually break up with you, even though they "still love you."

Uh-oh, here comes STAGE THREE: Your First Huge Breakup.

This is literally the worst thing that's ever happened to you.

You constantly think about begging them to come back to you.

And you're pretty sure you'll never love again.

When your friends talk shit, you actually defend the jerk who broke your heart.

Til your ex announces they're marrying the person they started dating right after you.

And you realize that your friends are totally right.

Sounds like you're ready for STAGE FOUR: Forever Alone.

There's nothing wrong.

The fact that you're focusing on things other than dating is totally OK.

Maybe all of these experiences have made you slightly bitter.

You think that maybe you just need to broaden your social circle.

Yep, definitely time to get back out there.

Time for STAGE FIVE: Hooking Up with the Next Crazy Asshole You Meet.

Maybe you can make the whole "no strings attached" thing work...

But naturally, you start developing feelings — you are a human!

Still, this relationship is toxic and you know it.

Finally, you end something on your own terms... because you have standards!

THE FINAL STAGE is the best part of your twenties/life: realizing how awesome you are, with and without a relationship.

Although you may still be...

You've learned a lot about yourself, the world, and doin' it.

Mostly that, no matter what happens, all of this crap makes for an excellent story.

BAHAHA. Hope you enjoyed that, I sure did.

*This is not mine, I found it here and all credit goes to the genius who write it. But it is amazing and it had to be shared!
