Pick of the Week...

In the spirit of all things Christmas why don't you go ahead and click here
to watch a funny video of some guys singing
many, many Christmas songs.
The guy laughing like the count just adds to it really.

Pick of the Week...

On Saturday after a full day of emptying my wallet in the beginnings of the tradition that is giving gifts at Christmas I went to "Voyage of the Dawn Treader"

It. Was. Fabulous.

I didn't have very high expectations after Prince Caspian and all the creative licence that was used there. However, the third installment in the beloved classic series penned by C.S. Lewis was so well done! I was pleased and amazed. I plan on watching it in theatres again, and I never do that.

Go watch it!

pə(r)ˈtikyələr

Somehow, somewhere along the line I became one of those people.
You know the type,
The ones who have to have their CD's organized according to genre
and their cups placed just so in the cupboard?
Only I don't do those kinds of things.
I'm more the type who does dishes in the same order every single time.
[First plates (but make sure the cutlery is already in the water) then bowls, then cups, then sharps, then cutlery, then anything else in order of cleanest to grossest.]
and also who tries to make things fit together just so when I put them away in a box.
I'm not sure how that happened.
So anyway, today in the fight against that I went against the grain,
I opened a chip bag upside down.
It drove me crazy for the first minute but then I got over it!
So maybe I'm not so bad after all...

Pick of the week...

Once upon a time I was watching funny videos on youtube
and then I decided that I wanted to watch the music video for "Fireflies"
So I did.
On the side where they have all those 'suggestions' videos I saw a cover for the song
It looked interesting so I clicked on it.
My life has not been the same since.
Ok, so maybe that was a bit dramatic but I discovered some very talented people.
That was the first youtube channel I ever subscribed to.
Their names are Kurt Hugo Schneider and Sam Tsui and they are aaaamazing! I can even ignore all the stupid songs they cover because they are just that talented!
Find Kurt's youtube channel... HERE
And now here's a couple of my fav videos from them.

my 100th post?!?

I came on here to blog about...well nothing really.
You see I was cruising through some blogs that I read on a regular basis and it came to my attention that the blogger world is bigger then I even knew!
Did you know that some people make money from their blogging?
How can I get a piece of that action?!
Also I've noticed that every ones blogs are waaaaay cooler then mine...
button sharing, completely original buttons to navigate said blogs with, original photography for their banner...
How do you guys all do that??
I can see in my head how I want my blog to look but for the life of me I don't know how to make it happen.
That's not it though, here I thought that blogs were something that you shared with your friends and family so they could either a) be updated about your life or b) be entertained by your witty antics. Apparently though there are blogs out there that have thousands of followers...some that are strangers even! It becomes somewhat of a community.

So anyway, that was all going through my mind so I came to blog about it.
Then I saw that I had written 99 blogs thus far.
and I thought, "This is my 100th blog! It should be something fantastic, something mind blowing, something worthy of being the 100th!"

But all I could think about was these things I realized about blogging.

You see, this is why I don't have a thousand strangers following my blog, waiting for what amazing thing I'll think up next.

*Oh and just so you know, I am very thankful for my 5 followers! You guys rock!

Challenge number four...


...a picture of you and your friends.

Hmmmm...I have lots of friends, and not all of them hang out together. You see, I have groups of friends. I have my camp friends, my Millar friends, my Regina friends...
Sooooo I guess that calls for a series of pictures!
(I actually just wanted to finish that sentence with the word collage but then I realized that maybe I wouldn't be able to arrange them much like a collage unless I made a real collage on picnik. However, I'm too lazy to go onto picnik and make a collage. So series it is.)

Some of my Bible school friends reunited this summer at a wedding. I made amazing friends at bible school, it's really true when they say you'll meet people who will be in your life forever during your college years.

and this right here is some of my camp friends a few years ago at a baby dedication. I wish I had a picture of all my camp friends because they are amazing! I feel like they are my family, spending entire summers with them all is such a blessing!

Oh, and here's a picture of me and my oldest friend Barbie...this is about 5 years ago when she was pregnant with her first baybay! See how I'm pointing at her cute belly! We've been friends since we were little. Best friends for a long, long time. You know when you have someone in you life that will always be there, no matter what. And no matter how much time goes by without seeing each other you know that things will still be the same? That's Barbie.

and now here I am with my buddiest Debbie! we have about 5 million self portraits of the 2 of us. For this one we pulled classy and used a timer! We've been pals ever since she invited me randomly to her birthday party many moons ago. We've been on lots of adventures and I can always count on Debbie to do random things with me.

I want to upload more but at the same time I don't. I hope you enjoyed meeting some of my besties, they aaare spectacular!
