I keep saying that I'm going to do an introductory post. But I haven't. So I found this cute little ABC's of me on a blog I was reading. So now I don't have to keep saying "introductory post to come..."
A: Age - 22 (mid-November).
B: Bed Size - Queen, we could use a king though, Michael is 6'4 and his feet hang off.
C: Chore that you hate - Cleaning the floors. I hate it because I'm OCD about it and I have to get every little piece of fuzz and dirt before I'm satisfied.
D: Dogs - Husky/Norwegian Elkhound named Grace.
E: Essential start to your day - brushing my teeth and washing my face.
F: Favorite Colour - Pink.
G: Gold or Silver - Silver or White Gold, I have olive skin, so yellow gold makes me look, well, yellow.
H: Height - 5'6 and a half.
I: Instruments - Flute & piccolo, some piano
J: Job Title - My card says Finance and Insurance Manager, but I recently took over the Office Manager position as well... So Finance and Insurance and Office Manager.
K: Kids - Our two cats (Suess and Moose known as Little) and above mentioned dog for now.
L: Live - On the prairies in Canada, from Newfoundland Canada.
M: Mother's Name - Brenda
N: Nickname - Alot of friends call me Al, I've been known as Cat, Curly, and Goober as well.
O: Overnight Hospital Stays - Just one, when I broke my leg in the fifth grade. Oh, and I was a preemie baby and in the hospital for almost a month after I was born.
P: Pet Peeves - Oh gosh... When people are frustrated about extenuating circumstances of another issue and take it out on you, water left by the sink and you leaning against it, when jeans come out of the dryer damp, dishonesty, my puppy's tendency to jump all over people, feeling inadequate, the garbage being full & no one taking it out... The general things.
Q: Quote from a movie - So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out. - The Notebook
R: Right or Left Handed - Right.
S: Siblings - One little Sister
T: Time you wake up - First alarm goes off at ten to seven, I get out of bed around five after seven.
U: Underwear - Wait, what?
V: Vegetable you hate - Those mini-corns. They're like mutants. Oh and cauliflower, I hate the texture.
W: What makes you run late? - This is a funny question, I am chronically late. If it's not superficial ie) not having my hair done, it's something else; the dog threw up or escaped, one of the cats ran outside, Michael parked the truck behind my car, I forgot breakfast, got stuck behind a street cleaner. Anything really, I am always late, not proud of it, but have come to accept that the universe has reasons for me NEVER being on time.
X: X-rays you've had - My leg and my mouth, I think that's it actually.
Y: Yummy food that you make - I make excellent teriyaki chicken.
Z: Zoo animal - I love all of the big cats and elephants oh and giraffes.
So that's that. Neat little way of getting to know me.
Love,
Alex

Enjoy the Small Things
Hi Blogworld!
I've been reading this great blog that's given me a new lease on life, being happy, and really getting the best our of every moment. It's called Enjoy the Small Things by Kelle Hampton and I love it.
Now, when I'm stressed at work I like to do this neat little idea that really helps; I write ten things that really make me happy. It helps immensely with making my day better, and recently with the death of a friend I've needed to do it more often.
1. E-mails from my friend Katie & the fact that I get to go visit her in a week.
2. Every morning when I get up our little kitten meets me at the bedroom door for cuddles then proceeds to follow me around the house when I get ready.
3. Getting a new job at work & a raise!
4. The color pink, pink sticky notes, pens & pink erasers in my office.
5. Going on a trip to my home province of NL in a month and a half.
6. Ocktoberfest and Halloween are coming up.
7. Etsy shops and how creative people are.
8. Sing alongs with my little sister.
9. Mike learning bass guitar.
10. Playing catch with my puppy and watching her race back to me to sit in my lap.
Hope you all enjoy the small things today and be thankful for the gift each day it!
Love, and lollipops.

Just keep swimming
Good morning;
It's been awhile since my last post due to the fact that I was wondering, what's the point of posting if no one's reading??
But I changed my mind because it's very relaxing to blog and vent.
Rundown of the long weekend:
Let me get this straight though, we aren't "trying" we'd like to have our wedding May 2013, and we'd ideally like to be married before having any babies. But we aren't being super careful either. I guess that's what happens when you've been together four years, have a house together and are generally comfortable in life.
Our families would be ecstatic, there hasn't been any babies on my side in almost ten years. There hasn't been any babies on Mike's Mom's one side in three years, on Mike's Mom's other side, since his sister was born (she's eighteen), on Mike's Mom's other side (yes there's three sides!) well, they're having babies constantly, I'm pretty sure two of them are pregnant right now. But we don't see them much at all.
On Mike's Dad's side, again the last baby was again Mike's sister. We shall see, we shall see. I've had this feeling before, and it turned out to be nothing but it feels different this time somehow.
Or I've just been reading too many pregnancy blogs lately.
Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great short work week, I know I will!

Rundown of the long weekend:
- Mike's sister came to visit
- Watched a day and a half of Big.Bang Theory marathon
- Read two thirds of a book
- Cleaned my house
- Did laundry (super exciting, I know)
- Walked my dog, cleaned up after said dog when she messed in her kennel at four this morning (she has never done this!!!)
