Be back soon

I have an exam to study for, and I may be a little M.I.A this week. I took an online course in Business Marketing and Writing, and I stress out easily — I have until June 5 to do the exam but I’m going to prepare as much as possible for it, before I go ahead and submit my answers. So I’m going to take a break from blogging this week!

My weekend was good, super beautiful and sunny. Got a bit of a tan on my arms and on my knees (soccer shorts + socks = funny leg tan). How was yours?

I found ten bucks on the ground this morning, so that made up for my six and a half hour sleep last night! Lucky me huh? I always seem to have money no matter where I go. When I was in Ireland I remember finding a 50 euro note (close to $75 CAD) on the ground on Boxing Day when my Brother and I were out for a walk. ANYWAY, see you all next week, or maybe earlier because we all know I can’t stay away from here for very long!

What I do on my nights off..

Not that I work nights or anything. But when I don’t feel like doing anything, I still have to be doing something. So this is what I did last night. I had collected a bunch of samples of this pantene  over the last couple of months, and since I had two cute extra MAC cosmetic bottles laying around, I decided to collate them and make use out of the two! Horrah. So, four packets of shampoo and conditioner, but the first picture doens’t show the conditioner because I had already done that bottle.

Yep. Exciting enough to post on my website.

Skewers gone a’skew

You guys, I am so nuts. Blogging constantly every day, sometimes twice a day I’m a self-proclaimed nerdle. This is my 26th post in May and it’s only the 21st! There’s noo stopping me! Tons of topics to talk about, and my brain is going wild with ideas. I still have to sit down and write a photo post on what I purchased last week (and returned, good girl!). Exciting.

Doesn’t that photo right there, make your mouth water and want to head home and cook up a feed?

Well, as you all know barbecue season is fast approaching and probably is already here for most. I haven’t fired up the one on the patio this year, but I’m thinking I may do it this weekend. Boyfriend is heading out to a party about 30km away at his old bosses house (who also does Tri’s and Du’s with him) but I won’t be going this year to his Birthday Party. I have my second game of co-ed soccer tomorrow and I don’t want to miss my second game. Plus, last year I got a little too tipsy on the free alcohol provided by the host, and hurled a lot. It was tré embarrassing. Needless to say, I’m  a bit humiliated to go drinking with them again. (I promise, I know my limits.  I’ve only gotten sick twice from drinking, and this being the second time. I just hadn’t drank in months prior and obviously really wasn’t used to it. Plus the booze was free! Who wouldn’t go wild on shots?).  Also, they’re all in their late 30’s and 40’s, not that there’s anything wrong with that age. I just don’t really feel like going, plain and simple.

ANYWAY back on topic. If only I had some of these fancy skewers that are shown to your left. I mean, I do have regular ones, but grilling-skewerwouldn’t these be so awesome just for aesthetic reasons (they’re quite practical too, if I do say so).

Check out the woman marinating them in a bowl all rolled up like that (below). I never thought about marinating a skewer! Seriously guys. I have never thought about doing that. I love absolutely every one of those veggies on the skewer and would love to devour it all (minus the onions, because we all know how much I despise those buggers) I’d maybe even put a potato on there!

The skewer is a stainless steel cable style skewer that allows you to utilize more space on your BBQ and the ends of your skewer actually stays cool thanks to the innovative stainless steel construction. Which is also a lot easier to flip the kebabs instead of fiddling around with one of those clamper teeth thingies (I know you know what I’m talking about here!) that picks up chicken and what not. They’re two for $10 on amazons’ site! A totally great find, on my part. I don’t know if these are shippable (is that a word?) to Canada or not. Amazon only likes to sell us Canadians, books. Sigh.

Mmmm I love my belly.
