How's it going out there?

I used to stress about posting on my blog regularly. Clearly that has passed and I'm letting it slide quite a bit. I don't even know what this post is going to be about actually, I'm just typing. I feel like I should make a list though. A list of ten random things. Here they are in no particular order:

10. Today I went into work for a few hours as did a coworker. We made a deal with one another that we are going to stop eating treats like chocolate bars, donuts, pastries and other crap that comes through an office on a regular basis. I told her I would pay her a dollar every time she sees me eating any of these items. This will go on until August 13th, 2011. Yes it will......(darting eyes from side to side).

9. In BC your driver's license lasts for five years, which is nice because you only pay for it every five years. But it sucks if you have a bad photo like I do because it lasts that long. I once had a girl at the bank tell me my photo was bad (at least she said it didn't look like me) - so I need to make sure this year, my photo is good. This may be some of the motivation for my no crap pledge above.

8. I'm watching the Oscars right now. I'm amazed at how uncomfortable these are to watch and it's crazy because I was excited for this show - why? I have no idea.

7. I'm contemplating getting rid of my cable again. I was thinking maybe just for a year to see what happens. I think it's probably good to do things that are outside your comfort zone. I'm trying to think of what I will miss. Will I really miss anything? More like, what am I missing because of TV, right? right?

6. What else....Oh Javier Bardem is super hot. It's that scruffy beard he pulls off so well.

5. I've been making coffee at home lately,breakfast too and it actually makes me more excited to get up in the morning. It's nice to sit for two seconds and just be still before you start the day and the "flight of the bumblebee" starts in your head. Right?

4. Vancouver got named the world's most livable city again. It's funny because apparently they don't take into consideration the cost of living or the natural beauty of a place. What the hell are they taking into consideration? I saw this on CNN (oh the shame) and the news anchor seemed pissed off. I guess Pittsburgh was the highest ranked U.S. city and it came in 29th. It makes me laugh that Americans don't know why....um can you say healthcare people?

3. Vancouver was definitely not the most livable city this weekend as it totally snowed. I'm on my 5th year out here now and I have come to totally dislike snow. Sure on a ski hill its great, but not in a city. I always hear people getting so excited when it snows because it's a 'novelty'. Today at the office I heard a noise outside and my coworker came to see what it was. "It's a snowplow!" I said. "Actually it's a garbage truck with a plow stuck on the front" she said. Awh.....good try city, good try.

2. I think I'm going to need to do a shoe post. I've been wearing boots ALL winter and once spring hits, they are going into storage and I need to replace them with awesomeness. Anyone have any ideas? I also want a pair of fitted cargo pants that I can wear with heels. Yes. Random.

1. Oh number one already? What else can I tell you? I saw Trevor Linden speak last week at a business breakfast. It was actually pretty good - he's very down to earth. After, we decide to get his autograph (what the hell right?) I asked my coworker if she could take my picture while he was signing the autograph (an action shot really), but as I walked up to him, he saw Tiina in his peripheral vision and said "Let's pose for the picture first". You can't really say "I don't want a posed picture" to a celebrity, so I got it. In fact, I started to act a little giddy while talking to him which is totally ridiculous because although I like the Canucks, I'm not a die-hard hockey fan. Oh well, I'm sure there are not many Interior Design magazines with his autograph on it, so I will keep that one safe.

Have a great week everyone!
