Someone told my dad when he was a kid that ticks don't only burrow into your skin, they go into your blood stream, travel to your brain and eat it. He grew up, got married, bought a house, had kids, got a dog...and no one ever corrected it. <div><br></div><div>So when we found a tick on our family dog in the middle of the night, off we went to the emergency vet clinic. You know the ones, that charge you $100 just for being open in the middle of the night? I'd love to see a recording when the vetrinarian had to re-explain ticks to my petrified family. We thought Sydney was a goner! We asked him if we'd made it in time. In retrospect, that tick likely could have eaten most of that dogs brain and we wouldn't have noticed, bless his wee heart. </div><div><br></div><div>Anyways, I'm sure he paid an arm and a leg at the vet to have the tick removed, dad's tick story was finally corrected before he passed it onto us. Years later my dad took me on a date with him and this lady he's been seeing from online dating, and before we left she had to help me remove a tick out of dad's back. </div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1TYmoxn3wh-Ulm758GFy0J93fDmdPZA84" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1TYmoxn3wh-Ulm758GFy0J93fDmdPZA84" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div><br></div><div>Turns out you don't want to pull on them because they'll leave their heads behind and get infected, but if you heat up a spoon and touch it to their butt, they back that ass up.

But Jon went into the bread isle like a ring at the UFC. He was bound and determined we'd get the healthiest bread there, and he was not willing to compromise. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_5c26_a0ce_f382_439e" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/b7FL4XptZkVXc6ljj5OJuhtRxTgnNMFmZ78T9_1dBYdw6T3GCbLNtWSgWDM" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">He's so funny when he dives into all the logic, and I make my decisions based on feelings. We made compromises in other isles to compensate. I will say after a while it starts to taste less like they were making bread all day, and then just swept the factory and dumped it in to make ours. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Eventually you don't even notice its just healthy stuff bonded together to fit in the toaster! </div><br /> Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441288358317778545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038444760278238286.post-40452443750585292872021-02-13T19:52:00.002-08:002021-02-13T19:52:46.825-08:00The footrest that *almost* left So my male roommate (ok - boyfriend Jon) had this old computer tower under his desk. When I finally asked him what the deal was, he admitted it just made a really great foot rest. I’m serious, I can’t make this shit up. <div><br></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1og84jCTbMO7ctsfMZx1652UOP82buHtS" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1og84jCTbMO7ctsfMZx1652UOP82buHtS" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></div><div><div>So weeks later I finally convinced him to junker the old thing, and we loaded it into my car. (To take to recycling of course!) Coincidently enough, that weekend I had all day trainings online, and guess what? I was uncomfortable without that stupid tower. I drove around with it for a couple more days before I could bring myself to admit to Jon I missed it being upstairs. </div></div></div><div><br></div><div>We joked that the tower somehow earned the immunity totem from Survivor, and the smile on his face when he carried it back up to out apartment, I tell ya! </div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441288358317778545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038444760278238286.post-58012945815490111032021-01-31T15:21:00.002-08:002021-01-31T15:22:58.766-08:00Jerk off my horn One of my favourite things to do (when it was allowed) is play Dodgeball. Seen the movie with the same name? It’s shockingly accurate. I usually play in a beer league (there’s now 5 in the BC Lower Mainland) mostly full of the “athletic types” you remember from high school. At one point I started my own team called “Amazeballs” with the t-shirts having a unicorn drinking wine on them. To fit the theme, I’d wear a unicorn headband to most nights. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk9PjBN5C9_-i5jo8jc2oMGmWGphZA1xZbObzSJpWbFGRhIoomccWQHAxEAeJY2U1Z9eXvCR_wivBuMb7ztNQTBZNGJBieRck0LZW0p1exkR-kRINoFOk2CZhnDxjq0wGRSZORWfUXW9w/s2046/image1.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2046" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk9PjBN5C9_-i5jo8jc2oMGmWGphZA1xZbObzSJpWbFGRhIoomccWQHAxEAeJY2U1Z9eXvCR_wivBuMb7ztNQTBZNGJBieRck0LZW0p1exkR-kRINoFOk2CZhnDxjq0wGRSZORWfUXW9w/s320/image1.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div>One such night, a friend of mine came up, and started jerking off my horn.

He was spouting life advice while he was sweating, grunting tying to fit the tent back in the bag. “When people tell you something can’t be done, that when you have to prove to me wrong...” All of sudden how stubborn I can be makes sense eh? So when he finished I held up the tent poles and said, “Yea - what about these then dad?” He says, “and sometimes you have to admit defeat, and not take on battles you know you can’t win” </div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; display: inline !important;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; display: inline !important;">Well spoiler alert, Jon would have lost this bet..</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; display: inline !important;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; display: inline !important;"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Ke4Z_5ih_DLD9ylM83SNPYDYBre2sOVi" alt="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Ke4Z_5ih_DLD9ylM83SNPYDYBre2sOVi" style="max-height: 80%; max-width: 80%; height: auto; width: auto;"><br></span></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17441288358317778545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038444760278238286.post-52515843827826217192019-11-19T19:58:00.004-08:002019-11-19T22:54:45.967-08:00Meandering Markham<div data-originalcomputedfontsize="16" data-removefontsize="true">

It hit so close to home because I've been trying to eat healthier lately (who isn't), and in the process, I had to withstand sugar withdrawals. It was an eye opening experience for me into how many treats I consume on the regular. It finally hit home that the winner isn't the one who eats all of the things and all of the stuff. Winning might actually be feeding your body the proper fuel it needs to function properly, with occasional treats. Craziness. *mind blown* *eats cookie* </div>

Here's a picture of Jon from last weekend, when I got the bright idea to WALK to and from our sushi dinner. Not any of the dozen sushi places around our house, the one at the bottom of the hill by SilverCity Cinemas. I needed to get my steps in for the day, and I'd already dragged him out for a walk anyhow. "Lets be crazy, lets just walk there!" I was definitely regretting my decisions on the way back, most of the way up Marmont hill...</div>

Anyways, it was actually out for this dinner that I told Jon the story of when dad made it his mission in life to get me to like wine and sushi. I'd have been in my early twenties, still living at home with them. I'd go to the wineries with them in Salmon Arm, and try them, but never liked them. When he'd drag me out for sushi, I'd get beef teriyaki. To be fair, I still don't eat the raw fish, but I could live on wine and vegetarian sushi. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It also occurred to me that dad was always hoping I'd meet a guy like Jon, I just wish they could have met. He'd have had a HAY day with Jon, and visa versa. And yet, I'd not be the same person I am today, without the experiences I've had, and maybe it's some of those things that make us so compatible. Either way, wherever dad is, I hope he knows he succeeded, and I imagine him smiling down on us when I took this picture. </div>

I'm about to tell you all about the Monat Dry Shampoo I bought off my sister Aleisha, who sells Monat. If that's not your jam, by all means, click the sidebar for something else.</div>

I was always going to buy off my sister, to support her, but I've actually found I love Monat, and it works excellently on my hair. It's made me feel differently towards my hair, and like I want to style it, and put more effort into it. Recently I tried the Dry Shampoo in the line, and I also fell in love with this product. I've tried other dry shampoos before, but I love how this one smells. It leaves my hair feeling fresh, like it's just been washed, without the powdery white effect. </div>

I'm being selfish. I'm not doing anything for anyone else today, JUST ME. #selflove" So I thought it might be fun to do a small recap of what that looks like for me.

My plan was to quickly fill my tires that had been sitting for the better part of a year with my little hand pump and be off. When the hand pump didn't work, I drove to the gas station who's air attachment also didn't work. We laughed with my team because the two "amateur" riders both had their tires filled with compressors. And off they went without me.<br />

So in summary, it would appear my form of self care is exercise, interrupted by lots of sleep. In case you don't believe me, I have FitBit stats to back me up. I slept 10 hours and 58 minutes yesterday. Just short of 11 hours.<br />

This past Christmas when we were putting the ornaments on the tree, I broke one that meant quite a lot to me. It says "First Christmas Together 1982".<br />

All those years we put it on the tree as kids and it survived. It could have fallen anywhere on the carpet and been fine, but it fell on the base of the lamp and broke the top where it hangs. Now besides the fact that I believe in the afterlife, and question whether dad did this on purpose since it was his first Christmas with mom, it's a good lesson in letting go. Whether dad was trying to teach me that, fate, or this awesome minimalist chick at work who's been talking to me about emotional attachment to things, I think I'm catching on. <br />
<br />
It's brought to light this bigger issue in my life about keeping things I shouldn't/don't need to. It's come to light because of Jon moving in with me to my 750 sq ft apartment, and how stuffed I have it with stuff. I've been going through stuff lately, like 4 boxes of cards people gave me down to 2. I've been giving stuff away, and letting go of things. I have to admit, it's felt GOOD. Cheers to emotional healing!<br />

Before I was a consultant with Pure Romance, I was the hostess for Coralie over at my place for a couple parties. The night before one of them, i'd have my friends over for a onesie party. Well they'd played a prank on me and made little penis' out of post it notes, and stuck them literally all over my house. I'll never forget it, Cor was just launching into her presentation when she stopped mid sentence and said, "wait a second, are there dicks stuck all over your house?!!?!?" and we all laughed. "Oh good, I thought maybe I was just going nuts, like I'd been in this business too long, I just started seeing dicks everywhere.." </div>

(Thanks Matt! And Chanel for transporting it here!) So we've started to cook EVERYTHING on it. Which is lovely. What's funnier, is how badass Jon feels as man because of the BBQ. The masculine appeal of the device is not lost on us around here...<br />
