Hangover From Hell

Yesterday was the hangover of death. I woke up from a night of drinking and dancing to the party still full throttle in my brain with the pleasant aroma of stomach bile in the air. despite the somersaults that my stomach was performing, I should probably be kinda thankful that I made it home; although, this may only be thanks to Emilie who walked me home via the phone. After vomiting a couple times after leaving McDonalds after the bar, I then began my long-ass walk home (NEVER walking home again when that drunk!). I have no clue how long the walk took me but I definitely was getting annoyed with Emilie who kept calling me whenever I hung up on her cause I just wanted to lay down in the park or someone's yard and sleep for a bit. I did however manage a cat nap on the comfy lawn of some unsuspecting house owner but that nap was cut short when my phone started ringing again and I got up and pretended like I had never stopped walking when I answered to Emilie again. Somehow or another I made it home alive. The entire next day I was on my couch; almost never moving from the three cushions I had claimed as my hangover place of choice, only getting up to pee a couple times and to grab water and to pay the pizza man when he finally showed up. The pizza was my food for the entire day except for the cucumber I ate like it was a popsicle. Emilie showed up in the early afternoon so we could co-hangover on my three cushions while watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes - only moving to readjust to become more comfortable. I discovered that my feet/toes are VERY dexterous and can pick up pretty close to anything within range and so there was definitely MINIMAL moving. Finally around 8 or 9pm Cassie called and we made plans to go for a walk and since Emilie and I had been living-dead for the entire day...we thought that since it had cooled down and we were feeling a lot better, that it was time to make our appearance outside. The walk was perfect! The weather was awesome, we walked way further than any of us really planned to and it made me feel a little more human. I've been hungover many times after drinking; usually I feel it to some extend (since I'm so old haha), but I haven't been as bad as this hangover in a LONG time. Hopefully another hangover from hell isn't for another really long time!

Banana Bread = Fail

Last night Emilie and I decided we'd randomly make banana bread; this was really what our entire night plans were based around. I decided we'd be awesome and blend 3 recipes together to make the ultimate banana bread! We filled the banana tin with the batter and went outside to play with sparklers that emilie randomly found. We thought that the bread would take like 30 mins to cook, but after being in the oven for 40 mins we went to take it out of the oven and the bread was still so liquidy that it was waving at us when the tray was moved. The bread ended up taking over an hour and even then it was still really moist inside. lol. The bread was good even though it really didn't have much taste. haha. So naturally we ate the entire tasteless loaf in like 20 mins! hahaha. And other than that loaf, the sparklers and the drinking of wine....that was my night!

Thought this was hilarious!

Coffee with Cassie

I finally was able to make plans and go for coffee and hang out with my preceptor from when I was in consolidation, Cassie! I was SUPER pumped and I'm pretty sure everyone I know, knows how pumped I've been to see her! I wrote my statistics exam in the morning and then I went for all-you-can-eat sushi with Emilie, Laurice, Jess and Ricky - SOO good! Then a little later I met Cass at Bridgehead for a definite needed catch-up. We talked for hours about what's been going on since we last saw each other forever ago in February and talked about plans to get together more often from now on. I'm SO excited for the next time already! Then after we got kicked out of the coffee shop cause it was closing, Cassie gave Emilie and I a ride back to my place and Em and I had a chill night hanging out ending with a sleepover (which Em said we're doing every night until she leaves on Thursday).

New Pet Craze

Apparently this is the new craze in Asia (not sure where exactly, I forget); dying your pet to resemble a wild animal. I know, I know....blah blah animal cruelty, I get it, they didn't have a say in their dye-job...but they look so cute! And I mean come on....we pierce babies ears without their say and feed them shit and make them obese on McDick's without their say....so maybe a little cute wild animal dye-job isn't the end of the world. Hahaha


And let's just be hypothetical for a second....what IF the colouring was all natural and non-toxic (which I'm fairly sure it's poisonous lol)....would it then be cool to dye your doggie?

Cookie Diet Update

I've been trying (VERY hard might I add) to not have any cookies this month as you know; and it hasn't been easy at all! When my family came down to visit last week, they brought me a tin of homemade cookies that Jean Guy made for me - thanks that makes it so easy to not eat them then they're homemade and in my apartment, not to mention when my mom constantly asks how I like them. So I ended up relapsing two times this month to eat those cookies Jean Guy made; once with Emilie (and mostly cause I think she just wanted them so she told me I could have them, or as she said "these don't count as cookies" haha) and then the next day I lounged on the couch and ended up eating the rest of the tin. So there's no more of those delicious cookies so I can't be tempted anymore right? NO! Yesterday while on campus streaming tv, there was a group of people at the couches beside Emilie and me eating boxes of cookies! RUDE! And then when I went to leave and throw out my garbage, there is was, sitting on top of the trash, calling my name with it's sweet sugary shape was the empty package for cookies! They're everywhere! Always tempting me! I avoid the isle at the grocery store that has cookies cause it's too hard and thankfully the one time I was forced down that isle to pick something up, they were restocking so the giant trolley was blocking all the cookies from view! It's almost the end of the month and I think I did pretty decently, but F it's hard! I couldn't even imagine never having them again!

Auntie Loo's Treats

I had my family over for a dinner party on wednesday evening and as a surprise for dessert I got special treats from a vegan bakery that's owned and run by a friend and girl I know, who has an amazing business! I told her I was going to blog about it cause I can't tell people enough how amazing she is but how crazy delicious and good her baked goods are!! The name of her business is Auntie Loo's Treats and it's found at 507 Bronson Avenue in Ottawa, just past Gladstone. The quaint little bakery is open Tuesday through Thursday from 3pm-6:30pm, and Saturday 8am-2pm; although, Mandi Loo is often at the shop before 6am baking up a storm. I walk by her shop almost everyday to catch my bus, and the door to the bakery is often open with amazing smells wafting out enticing me to go in but I'm usually last minute running for the bus. Her desserts are vegan and she also makes gluten-free options, and Mandi firmly believe that in-order for it to be a dessert (even if vegan) that it must taste like dessert....and her treats honestly taste more amazing than grocery store bought baked goods! You'd never know it's vegan! I went in to get some dessert for my family and I was going to buy an assortment of things so that my family could try different things and I had the hardest time deciding what to get! I got 4 different cupcakes and a maple coffee cake and a brownie. They were all AMAZING!!!!!! EVERYONE needs to go to Auntie Loo's and get something!

Family Gone

My family picked Lacey up this morning at 6:30am and made their 8 hour trek homeward. Yesterday morning Lacey and I went for breakfast with my mom, her boyfriend, my grandma and my sister. After breakfast, Lace and I walked home and stopped in a few sex stores along the way trying to find good, cheap porn. We made it home, then took a nap and when we woke up we went into cleaning overdrive and cleaned my entire apartment, laundry and all. We cleaned the apartment because I had my family over for a dinner party. The party was awesome! Lacey helped me out sooo much with cleaning and prepping for supper. The fam loved dinner and everything and then lacey and I kept drinking till Ricky was ready to come over. Then we went to Ricky's friend's bday party for a bit. When we left my apartment, Ricky was backing out of my parking lot (he was sober) and we heard his car crunch and my response was "don't worry it's just a tree. Keep going". To which Lacey replied "Uh, no, it's a metal fence!". My bad. After the bday party, we picked Emilie up and went to Mercury to go dancing. Fun night, not so fun waking up at 6 so Lacey could leave. I'm happy I got to see them all since it's been 6 months! Can't wait to see them again at the end of the month. And hopefully Ricky's luck gets a little better! haha.
