Oh my God! Oh my God, you guys!

Legally Blonde the Musical. Amazing.

Enough said.

Fashion RED Alert!

Ok, so I am all about fads and trends...and I do my best to be open-minded but this one is a bit much for me. Not only would I look like a child in floral tights but my thunder thighs would look explosive, making me look 20 lbs heavier. Kudos to those who can pull this look off.

JP

My bags are packed. I'm ready to go...

I may not be leaving on a jetplane, but my Ford Escort will do the trick! I am making the big move to the city on the Sunday! I have worked my butt off all week cleaning, packing and squeezing in every second of my friends that I can. So in T-minus 2 days my new life begins. Wish me luck!

JP

P.S. Last day of crap job! Yippeee!

P.P.S. Wouldn't it be cool if I had some vintage luggage like this!? It would make the move so much more dramatic with my pile of suitcases on the sidewalk.

"Suddenly your career is rising and your accounts seem to be in order—or at least you’re a big step closer to this goal. What works for you now is doing it in a way that others wish they had thought of first. Colleagues are contentious around the lunar eclipse, and a power struggle may be inevitable. A summer romance will put everything in focus."

Looks like things are lookin up for me this summer! New job, new place, new life. I just have to get through the next week of packing hell.

Daddy's Girl

I am definitely a daddy's girl and I am proud of it! My dad and I like hanging out, discussing recipes and tv shows, and playing scrabble. He loves my boyfriend AF and I make sure to talk to him at least once a day. That is why I am trying to think of the perfect present for father's day. The only problem...my lack of funds. I found these super cheesy shorts that you can customize with your own pictures. I think my dad would love them, but on my budget it's just not going to happen. So what do you get the best dad with zero dollars? Who knows!? You tell me.

JP

Congrats sissy!

Congratulations to my sis LP for graduating from college yesterday! Way to go champ!

Things I need for summer...

BCBG MAX AZRIA patterned maxi. Due to my lack of funds obviously I can't afford this one...but show me a cheap patterned maxi with sleeves and I'm sure I could scrounge up a few bones!

A high waisted, strapless bikini. Maybe not this one inparticular...but I like the throwback that this looks gives.

A new pair of work heels. I am looking more for comfort than cool for everyday-wear.

A delicious new tote for work!

Dream dress crushed.

SO that pink-leopard dress I blogged about a while ago has officially been crushed... I saw Jesse from MTV Canada wearing it. Poo. Oh well..it is so last week..I am so over it anyway.

JP

Wow.

In the past month about a million things have changed for me:

1. I got a new job..more like a career!
2. I am moving to another city.
3. I have lost another 7 lbs.
4. Adam and I have decided not to buy a house yet.
5. I quit this sh*thole of a job..woohooo!
6. I have gone this entire stressful time without eathing McD's or pizza.

Pat on the back to me.

I am excited/scared/anxious/nervous/in shock that everything is happening so fast! I just cannot wait to stay with JE and KL while I get settled in!

JP

Cheers to being fabulous!

In just eleven days
Our new lives begin,
With shopping for clothes,
And patios with gin.

New jobs and apartments,
And parties galore.
We will cheers with champagne,
...then cheers some more.

Along with our boyfriends,
We will have just a blast.
In our new fabulous lives,
Our success will grow fast.

Best pals and cousins,
Our bond you can't break.
That is, unless of course,
You offer one of us cake.

JP

Hey! You! Get me one of these!

JP

Fam-Jam-Extravanganza!!

I could not be looking forward to this weekend anymore. Not only do I have the new job to celebrate, but I get to spend time with mine and JE's whole family! When we get together it is a party and a half. And even though we have planned a bbq and the weather doesn't look like it is going to cooperate, we will definitely have the best time!

I love my family.

xoxox
JP

OOOH EM GEEE!

Wow! I got the job! I could not be more excited! Not only do I get to leave this place...where apparently office staff are hired to move cat-pee covered boxes in the sweltering heat...but I also get the job of my dreams! AND I get to move to TO with my pals JE and KL!

I will have to start packing...which I hate. And I will have to move away from AF for a month. But it will all be worth it in the end. Plus, think of all the lists I need to make now!

Success here I come baby!!!

JP

I had a dream...

Last night I dreamt that I was at a concert for some HOT singer/rapper. I cannot remember who it was...all I know is he was smokin' hot! Anyway, at the concert the guy saw me in the croud, pulled me on stage and then we hung out after. We started making out and getting randy. After that night, we were madly in love and I was dating this super hot, super rich, suuuper fame guy! ....amazing.

JP

P.s. The guy was equally as sexy as Tyrese, only a better face. Same bod though. Yummy.

Hi-Ho Hi-Ho It's off to work I go...hopefully!

Planning and preparation for getting a 'real' job really is a lot of work! You have to spend hours researching and studying the company, going over any questions they may ask and making sure that you have a long list of adjectives ready to describe yourself. Plus you have to plan the perfect outfit that says, "I'm smart, I'm reliable, and I know how to dress," matched with the perfect nailpolish, shoes and accessories. I couldn't be more nervous. It is like preparing for a test that will determine the rest of my life. Gaaahhhh!

Just-Between-Us Chit Chat

I love how AF and I have our own little chit chat language between the two of us. We use gushy words and say things that don't make sense to anyone else, but think it's totally hilarious. I am sure most boyfriends do this kinda stuff..because deep down they too love to be a bit lovey once in a while. But could you imagine if their friends found out! I mean, their friends probably talk with their girlfriends like that but they obviously wouldn't tell anyone. Well I am off to "snuggle-bum" AF. Hahahah. He would kill me if he read this.

JP

BIG News!

Big news everyone! I have an interview in Toronto for a marketing/advertising position! I could not be more excited! And thanks to my cousin and pal JE, it is turning out to be less stressful than expected. Looks like I may be making the move faster than expected! Fun/crazy summer ahead. I will keep you posted.

JP

May 2-4

Hello all!

What a fabulous weekend of barbecues, lounging by the pool and sunshine! I spent the majority of my time off doing absolutely nothing with AF and I loved it!

JP

Side note: Do not eat red meat once you have given it up. You WILL get sick!

AHHHH!!!

An odd blog topic but when I read this on the yahoo.ca homepage I was terrified.

"Reports from the remote community a few hundred kilometres south of Hudson Bay say a strange creature was pulled from a local creek earlier this month — a creature some are calling a monster.

Photos of the furry, bald-faced creature were posted on the official website of the Big Trout Lake community and have since caused a flurry of speculation on the Internet.

According to the website, two local nurses were hiking near the creek when they noticed their dog Sam sniffing something in the water.

The dog pulled the 30-centimetre-long dead creature from the water and the two women snapped some photos of it."

...And people wonder why I have a fear of water! Gahhhh!

It's the Little Things

Wouldn't you agree? When it comes to the opposite sex, it is always the little things that count. The grand gestures are of course welcome, but it is just so attractive when a man does just a small act of kindness or respect. For instance, more often then not, when I go to run into the elevator up to my office in the morning, the man in front of me will hold the door and let me step in first before he gets in. Respectful, non? Or the simple act of a man standing up when you sit down at a table. It's the little things that make us as women feel appreciated, and special. And guys, please don't forget about the little things once you are in a relationship. Because we watch out for it! And blab to our friends when our boo does something sweet! And that's when the girl who doesn't have a sweet boo will say, "Ugh, I'd like to see my man do something sweet like that!" See what happened there? You've just been burned. So the moral here is, do the grand gestures, and the small ones. Basically just always be doing things for us. And buying us nice things.
