Whoops…

Um. So much for No Buy Month. I ended up getting Easter treats (for tomorrow) to make a cheesecake, and I even bought lunch because yesterday was incredibly busy, during lunch time at the bank and the grocery store – I had to race home to let Alfie piddle, then race back to work. Thankfully there’s a coffee shop in our building that makes delicious panini’s, so I asked the guy to make me one. Yum.

I also have to go out tomorrow to buy one of those $20 hand mixers to make a cheesecake (my first one – ever! It’s so easy too, if it comes out right I’ll link the recipe from Kraft Canada.

Just took Alfie out on a two hour (slow) walk so he could get used to people. Bark bark bark. Vicious little attitude.  Old men have a thing for ladies and puppies. I don’t know what it was all about, but when I sat down on some steps to take a break, all these creepers came and sat next to me.

He’s quite exhausted there now. Finally, I don’t have to watch him and jump out of my computer chair to discipline him because he’s conked right out on the floor next to me. On his side. Adorb!!!

Have a happy Good Friday! Poor Boyf has to work all weekend :(

That’s the pits

Have you ever thought about lasering your unwanted hair off? Last summer a co-worker told me that she was in the proccess of having her bikini line lasered off and told me that it didn’t sting too much. You have to go through multiple procedures to have it removed completely.

When I was in getting a wax once, I asked the woman what laser hair removal felt like — and told her I was thinking of it. She told me it was like having a rubber band slapped against your skin continuously. Doesn’t seem too bad, does it?

I … really hate shaving my pits. Seriously. It gets so sore and raw if I do it each day, so I can’t. Which in turn makes me self conscious when I’m at the gym, showing the stubble. Not so pretty. It’s probably why I have invested in more short-sleeved workout tops instead of always wearing tank tops. I resorted once to this “at home” method. Unfortunately for me I left it on a bit too long (and even then, it didn’t work!!!) and burned my pits so bad for days afterward it hurt to have any t-shirts or even deodorant on.  Even remembering back about that day I still can feel the pain I was in. What a regret.

I may end up trying going to a salon like the  dallas laser hair removal place. But instead, I may end up having my eyebrows waxed first, because I’m too chicken to just jump in there into a new place and say “hey, can you laser my arm pits please?”.

Would you ever laser hair off? Or better yet … have you? Try out laser hair removal dallas for yourselves too! Maybe there’s one around you.

N-Viro

N-Viro, Get it? Environment/N-Viro.

I haven’t gone to a “Home Show” in the past few years that I have been living in Ontario. My Dad and I used to go all the time as he is an Architect and I just wanted free candy and pens. But he was always going to the neat booths that had renewable energy, or visiting the ones that had new fire places that burned clean coal, or turning waste to energy with solar panel windows/roofs.

Its that time of the year now, around my birthday (early may) that the Home Show comes to Newfoundland. This year I won’t be attenting, but I’ll send some alternative energy to my Dad, and make him go for me. Bring me back some pens?

In all seriousness I’m talking about N-Viro International Corporation here. Their patented processes use lime and/or mineral-rich, combustion byproducts to treat, pasteurize, immobilize and convert wastewater sludge and other bio-organic wastes into biomineral agricultural and soil-enrichment products with real market value. The company has generated sales in excess of $40 million dollars, since its initial public offering in October of 1993, which was underwritten by Robertson Stephens, Raymond James, Oppenheimer & Co., and Paine Webber.

Neat huh? You can visit their website for more information.  http://www.nviro.com
