I'm Currently Addicted to...

Toddlers and Tiara's

Although the thought of spray tanning a 3 year old is extremely disturbing....

...thoughts??

And So You Think You Can Dance? Awesome.

I didn't blog about it last week but Alex's hip hop with Twitch was AMAZING. I was expecting a train wreck, but it was SO good. Favourite number of the season so far, hands down. I'm very upset that he is injured after that, and I'm hoping that he makes a quick recovery and is back next week.

Last nights episode was also really good. I'm at the point where I'm having trouble picking a favourite because they are all so good.

My favourite number last night was Lauren and Kent's contemporary. But they have been my favourites from the beginning, so seeing them dance in their style, together, was heaven for me.

I'm having a bit of bloggy writers block lately. I just don't feel motivated to post anything. I have wedding updates for you (very frustrating circumstances!) and of course we've been to see some movies that I could review, as well as some books that I've finished reading. But I just can't seem to force myself to do it. Maybe it's this heat wave that's making me so lazy!

Anyways, this was just a quick post to let you all know that I'm still alive, and that I do still sporadically blog. As well as to keep you all updated on how I keep my life exciting (Toddlers and Tiara's and SYTYCD......Awesome!)
Hopefully I will have you all fully updated by the end of next week

Some Changes

Hello All!

As you can see I have made some changes....again. I didn't think my blog title had very much to do with my blog. When I started blogging, I had no intentions of this becoming a "wedding blog" but I have noticed that that is exactly what it has become. So I wanted the title of my blog to reflect more about C and I, as well as our journey together, basically all of the things that I write about. I also figured that since I changed the title, I may as well change the look. I promise I will try to leave it alone at least for a month.

So yesterday was quite and interesting day in Ontario. The weather was crazy, having everything from and earthquake, to a downpour to a tornado all in one day. The tornado I only found out about today, so it really didn't affect me (although scary nonetheless) but the earthquake I actually felt. I was napping with B and all of a sudden the couch began to shake. It didn't last long, and I really only felt about two tremors, but I have to admit it scared me. Coming from a place that doesn't experience these things, one does not really know what to do when it is happening. I actually had no clue what was going on, and thought I was going crazy until I got a message from C asking if I felt the earthquake. I then, of course, started freaking out and he had to call me and talk some sense into me.

I also went out dress shopping last night with my sister and V for a dress to wear to SM's wedding. I don't know how much I have talked about this wedding, but it is at the end of July. I'm very excited (not only because I LOVE weddings) but because the guest list includes some old friends that I haven't seen in quite some time, so I am looking forward to catching up. I tried SO MANY dressed on yesterday, and nothing was working. I was getting very frustrated. I found one little black dress at Fairweather, that was cute, and looked fine, but it was $100.00 which I thought was way too pricey for what I was getting. Then I stumbled across this at Suzy Shier:




















I instantly fell in love. It was exactly what I was looking for, but my sister and V didn't look convinced, so I left it and continued looking. I didn't find anything else and of course this dress was still sitting on my mind. So I decided to buy it, bring it home and show it to C and my mom, if they agreed with My sister and V, then I could always return it. I hope they agree with me, because I love it. I'm already imagining shoes to go with it. That's definitely next on my list. Anyways, I figure I will put the dress on for them tonight, so expect pictures shortly.

And of course, SYTYCD was on last night. My front runners haven't changed. I still LOVE Kent. He's just so cute and almost awkward, I can't help but adore him. My favourite dance of the night had to be Adecheke and Allison's contemporary. And someone that stood out for me this week, that I didn't mention last week was Ashley. I really liked her number last night.

Did you notice anyone this week, that you didn't notice last?

SYTYCD

Hello All!

As you can clearly see, I have changed my blog. Now that blogger has made this so simple, I will have to be honest and say that this will probably happen more often than not. I get bored easy. This does not bode well for C when we buy a house. I'm the type of girl that will want to rearrange all the furniture monthly. And paint yearly.....

....but anyways....

I have been meaning to blog for a couple of days now, but I kept forgetting my cord to upload photo's at home. Meaning that I couldn't show you all this:

This is a peanut butter pie, a recipe I got from Fashion Meets Food. If you guys are looking for recipes, you should seriously check her out. She posts food ideas daily, with great stuff, such as this one.

So my reason for making this was that my sister was hosting a partylite party on Sunday (a party in which a bunch of women get together and but candles, for those of you who don't know) and I thought this would be the perfect occasion to try this recipe out. This way I could try it, and C and I wouldn't be forces to eat the whole thing. So I headed out Saturday night after work and gathered all of the ingredients. Let me tell you (this is coming from a non cook) how super easy this recipe actually is. There is literally no bake time, just mixing the ingredients and refrigerating. That is definitely my kind of recipe. And overall I think it turned out really well. I had to replace one of the ingredients because apparently in Canada it is next to impossible to find hot fudge topping. So after discussing it with C and my brothers girlfriend, we decided to melt semi-sweet chocolate squares and use that. It worked well, but I do want to eventually try it the way it is supposed to be done. Either way, the pie seemed to be a party hit, and I'm pretty proud of myself.

Moving on to So You Think You Can Dance. I am obsessed with this show. I have watched every season, and I'm pretty obsessive about it. Last night was the first performance show, and I was really impressed. They are doing it differently this year, as they brought back "All-Stars" from previous seasons, and this is who the contestants will dance with every week. I was unsure about this idea at the beginning, but after last night, I have decided I really like it.

So I figured this week I would show you who I think the front runners are. This will probably become a weekly thing, like I said, I'm obsessed. So after week one my favourites are:

Billy

His dance to footloose with Lauren was amazing.

Adechike: For some reason Google is not giving me a picture, but he danced with Katherine in a red dress. The judges trashed it but I thought it was really good. He struggled in Hollywood week, but I think last night he showed he deserved to be there.

Lauren: Again, can't find a picture. She danced with Ade. She has been my favourite since she auditioned. She is SO talented. Again, the judges weren't overly impressed last night, but I think that is because they know what she is capable of.

And last but not least Kent: He is probably not even close to one of the best dancers there, but he is so cute that I can't help but love him.

And some of my favourite All Stars are:

Lauren

Neil
Courtney
Allison

So you watch SYTYCD? Who are your favourites??
