Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Last night I had a great time at my friend’s house. We gossiped, watched hockey and drank beers. Not exactly the healthiest night, but I rarely ever see friends so I think it’s okay. Great game, if I do say so myself. :) I think Chicago has what it takes to win the Cup this year. I brought beers and that cost me $15. Anyway, my friend is kind of a bigger gal (about my height but over 200 lbs), and we’ve decided to start going to the gym together. We’re going to go every Tuesday evening, and another flexible … Continue reading →

Stacking Pennies asked how it went with getting my jeans tailored the other day. Well I just went to StitchIt in the mall because that’s where I always go to get things altered. As a bit of background – all jeans fit me loosely around the waist. That’s the way it’s always been. I should be buying size 4 jeans, but I have to buy size 6 because I have muscular legs. I no longer have to get jeans HEMMED though. I’ve found that the short sizes at Gap and Express fit me perfectly. Anyway this was the first time … Continue reading →

I am so excited. Over the May long weekend BF and I are planning an awesome 47km hike along the ocean on the island. I have wanted to do this hike for pretty much forever. It should take us 2.5 full days of hiking, and I cannot wait. Breathing in the salty air, camping on the beach, and strapping on a heavy pack? Paradise. As long as it doesn’t rain. :) Websites online list the hike as “difficult” or “strenuous” but BF says it’s relatively easy with little elevation gain compared to other hiking trips we’ve been on – and … Continue reading →

Last night I went to see Alice in Wonderland 3D with a friend. Dinner and a movie cost about $25. The movie was $5 more than usual because it was in 3D. And really? That was my only gripe about the movie: was it really necessary to have it in 3D? They didn’t even really utilize it very often. Seems like an unneeded expense. But it was a good movie. Johnny Depp was good, and I was impressed with Mia Wasikowska as Alice … but I didn’t much care for Anne Hathaway. I don’t think I’d see it again when it comes … Continue reading →

Okay, so yesterday was not productive at all. I didn’t even go to the gym. Why? I couldn’t tear myself away from a 4-hour 16 and Pregnant marathon on MTV. And you know what the worst part about it was? That marathon was the highlight of my week so far. Seriously. I also didn’t even take a shower yesterday. What? I’m unemployed. That’s just how I roll now. Today I’m going to the gym. FOR SURE. Then, I’m having lunch with a friend, hanging out with my sister for a bit, then rushing to catch the ferry with BF. As much … Continue reading →
