Randomocity

I was tagged by Heather to do this meme"8 random things about me"...so here goes
1. I'm scared of cows. Bet you didn't see that one coming. it comes from a childhood traumatic event watching my sister get chased by a cow.
2. I don't like speaking in public. It's funny, I'm so outgoing and love talking with people, but don't like speaking in public!
3. I HATE peanut butter & jam sandwiches. No reason, haven't really had them much in my life, but I hate them. Jam & cheese sandwiches on the other hand are AMAZING!
4. I used to pray every night that God would make me 6 foot 1. Just like my brother (he now is taller, though). Glad God didn't grant that wish!
5. When I was in kindgergarten, I used to tell everyone I wanted to be a cherry picker and even came home from school with a paper that said...when I grow up, I want to be a cherry picker and I drew a picture of someone picking cherries. Wow, kids are random.
6. I love crowds! The more people, the better. I also enjoy going to places/parties who I don't know a single person and spend the evening getting to know new people.
7. Weirdest thing ever. I kind of like the smell of skunks. Wouldn't want to get sprayed by one, but I still don't mind the smell.
8. I completed Grade 10 in Piano, and who knows, you might see me play sometime in church.

Hair Disaster!

Normally, I go to a salon to get my hair dyed/hi-lighted, but on the missions trip in summer, some of the girls helped me highlight my hair and it turned out great, so I thought I'd try it again. Bad idea. I bought a hair dye that was SUPPOSED to be 1 shade lighter than the one I had before. It's a base colour, then a highlight. Now I have red/plummy hair with copper highlights. It totally sucks. Worst hair ever. Michelle, you better be working tomorrow, cause I'm coming to see you to fix my hair!

By the way, I did the exact same thing to Chris's hair. It looks good on him, but not an improvement from his naturally awesome brown hair.

How to Book a Doctor's Appointment...

You might ask...how do I know the answer to this question? Well....this last month I started working at a Chiropractor's office and have gotten to know many interestings "workings" within the medical field.! Most importantly - WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN HOUR AT THE DOCTORS?!?!?! (my biggest pet peeve in life)....well, here's the scoop. Most doctor's offices book appointments every 15 min, ex 2:00, 2:15, and in those appointments, they sometimes will book up to 6 or 7 people for the SAME 2:00 appointment.

Sooo...next time you book an appointment, try the following:

• DO NOT BE LATE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT (in fact, come 5-10 min. early)- MOST OFTEN, YOUR SPOT IN LINE IS BASED ON FIRST COME , FIRST SERVE BASIS, NOT THE ACTUAL TIME OF APPOINTMENT!
• Book either the first appointment of the day, first appointment after lunch or the last appointment of the day and be there 5 minutes early!

DISCLAIMER: I can't guarantee that you won't still have to wait for an appointment, afterall, you are going to a doctor, expect somewhat of a wait! Good Luck!

chico, the wonder cat

Who knew having a pet was so entertaining, but she's sooo incredible! She voluntarily found this spot and was sleeping like this!

Our most embarassing moment happened in church....

11:35 am. Sitting in church. Dead quiet, because everyone was waiting for Roger to come to the front to pray. Chris leaned over to say something to me but instead of saying something....he moved funny and hit his chest and guess what? It caused him to burp - LOUD! - right in my ear.


We almost died of embarassment. Kim said it was super loud & could be heard at least 2 rows in front of us and 2 rows back. The worst part was that it looked like Chris deliberately let out a huge burp in my ear in church. And we weren't even at our church! We are at a chruch that was hosting us and another church as part of a joint service!


So, all of you who heard that burp....no, we're not totally rude & obnoxious. Our most embarassing moment ever - please tell me someone's had worse!

My Surprise hotel getaway

Last week, Chris planned a mini-vacaton for us to stay in a hotel in the city for a few days. He planned EVERYTHING and kept me guessing for the whole time..it was awesome. Tonnes of surprises and lots of fun!

Chris made a "spa" for me - it was amazing -

complete with a 1/2 hour massage - whoo hoo!

We tried a new restaraunt - the melting pot.

Fun to cook your own meal right before your eyes!

My favorite thing - shoppers drug mart at all hours of the night.

We made a midnight run just to try new perfumes
