Brain hiccups

1 Comment

I have a ton too many drafts saved in my gmail account that I’ve resorted to e-mailing myself reminders instead of saving them in the said draft folder. Once I hit send I go to another tab on Firefox and I’m like “Oh! New e-mail yes!!!” and then I click on my gmail only to be reminded that I was the one who sent that e-mail, to myself.

Does anyone else do this? I think to myself, “Oh. Rightttt.. sad face” and then hit marked as read and star the e-mail for reading or in most cases, commenting on other blogs which may be blocked on computers I’m using throughout the day.

Jeesh!!

P.S. I don’t think lattes like my stomach. Oops!

Finding my way home

3 Comments

I forgot to mention that my upcoming birthday is on a payday. How sweet is that? Hopefully I’ll get my big tax return before my birthday too, so my whole paycheque doesn’t have to go to bills :(

You guys wouldn’t believe what I did this morning. All by myself!

The boyf and I woke up at 4:00 am so he could drive himself in my car, to the Toronto airport, while he gets on a flight and I drive back. Early in the morning I had to navigate my very first trip driving on any Ontario highway, let alone by myself, trying to find my way home!! He just told me what highway numbers to stay on, and don’t get in any exit lanes lol.

Actually, it wasn’t that bad, when it’s not busy and you remember to read the signs. Plus, the traffic was pretty slow at 5:30 in the morning!

So I got home by ten to seven and jumped in the shower immediately to warm myself up. It’s another chilly one today, had to break out the fall jacket. My routine in the morning takes me a certain time and since I was home at an odd hour, I didn’t know where to start. I was ready to leave the house at 8:00 when my work is a four minute drive away and I don’t start til 9:00. I was bored out of my trees playing with the dog! I did make a stop to Starbucks (hazelnut latte!) using the gift card Jeanine got me. Oh it will definitely come in handy and I’ll probably pop by again there this afternoon if I’m feeling drowsy. Seriously, caffeine does wonders to a body when the body isn’t used to it. I’m SO wide awake right now after 3 hours of sleep. OW OW!

I have no idea what flavors are offered at Starbucks and I often get the same things unless people tell me to try it out. Hazelnut Latte, Mocha Frap, Green Tea Latte (vom), and Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha (yum). I finally asked the barrister what syrups are offered and he gave me a card with a list of them on there. Nice! Did not know that!

Mmmm some good b’ys.

Oh I almost forgot to mention about running outside last night. Yes, it was still cold and I wore my COTTON (ewh) long sleeved out during our run. I swear, I wouldn’t know what to do before/after a run, if I wasn’t told every step of the stretching. It’s bad, I can be a flake sometimes.

Bitten

Have you guys read the next new hit series of Vampire books that are out on the shelves? To celebrate the release of P.C and Kristin Cast’s latest novel in the House of Night series, ‘Burned’ they’re giving you guys (and well, me too of course) a trailer plus a free song download and the first chapter for you guys. Just a teaser, hey?

Burned is the seventh book in the House of Night series. I know it’s going to become alarmingly popular with the teens and even people in their twenties like myself! I know I love a good read, I don’t even care if it’s directed at younger audiences.

I don’t want to spoil anything for you guys if you haven’t started reading any of them but I wanted to tell you a bit about the (New York Times) best selling books.

It’s about a 16 year old girl named Zoey Redbird who gets bitten by a vampire and begins to transform into a vampire herself. She has to leave her family in Oklahoma and move into the “House of Night”, which is a boarding school for other fledgling vampires like her! However, she finds it difficult being apart from her friends and family and apparently she is no average vampire. She has been marked as a special by the vampire goddess. Just like other popular books, it’s hard to fit in when everyone knows you have special powers.

Burned House of Night P.C. & Kristin Cast

Isn’t that book cover just perfect? You can download the Burned song free over there, and have a sneak peak and read the first chapter!! Buy the book and you’ll see how Zoey tries to make new friends and maybe find a hot boyfriend or two.
