WWC - made it on time!

The words for this week are Phone & Keys.

 

  

I figure they are pretty obvious ;)

Have a good day all.

Oh my!

What a week! All 7 days of it! I worked for the boss, plus my shifts. Normally that is not a hard thing to do, but I haven't gone to the Dr. yet about getting this exhaustion thing figured out. So, that is why I have not even been commenting this week - I will remedy that over the next few days.

In the meantime, I have missed a few of the Weekly Words Challenges, so here they are.

Weather & Mail

 
This was from my phone over the summer a little blurry, but I love the hole in the clouds.
Weather here has been warm, this branch has been catching the drips from the roof I guess.
 
This is my view from the office - mail boxes.
We have these by each of the mailboxes as people tend to forget to forward their mail.

Animal & Mineral

 
Alberta beef (sorry vegetarians)

 
Salt, on a blue plate under a blue light. (I was playing)
I think I am ready now to do Phone & Keys on Tuesday, which would have me caught up ;)

For more WWC check out my sidebar, Janet from Fond of Snape is the current hostess and is doing a grand job.

Have a good weekend.

The time has come...

to add the hated word verification to the blog. My apologies all, I hate it as much as you do.

So, these are what I have to wear wrapped around my arm - every day.



This is what it looks like after I take them off.




Five days left! Then we order me a new sleeve to wear every day for the next six months and do it all over again.

Have a good day all ;)

WWC: Chip & New

It's still Tuesday, so I'm not too late ;) The words for this Week's Word Challenge are Chip & New. Please click to enlarge.


I know, weird place for a chip!



Some people have chips on their shoulders.



Paint chips on my new chair.



My new down winter coat - keeps my knees warm.



My new bookmark. 
It is called a BookRug, this pattern is from the rug that covered Freud's couch.


That's it for another week, check out my side bar for other participants.

Have a good evening.

Eminent Eights

Kcinnova tagged me for this. She has the idea that I may have eight answers to life's important (or not so important) questions ;)

8 TV shows I watch:
  • Cold Case
  • Chuck
  • Fringe
  • The Mentalist
  • NCIS
  • NCIS Los Angels
  • Heros
  • Flashpoint

8 Favourite places to eat/drink:

  • The Bag Lady's - my sister (and she's only third because she is so far away)
  • I can't afford to eat out
  • Boston Pizza
  • Home
  • Quizno's
  • Home

8 things I look forward too:
  • Winning the lotto - who's buying me a ticket?
  • Getting back into a shape that is based on the human form as opposed to the whale-esque form I am currently sporting
  • Energy
  • Someone giving me a car?
  • or a job?
  • Health
  • Spring
  • Return of brain function

8 things I did yesterday:
  • Worked
  • Ate
  • Took Pictures
  • Surfed the net
  • Read
  • Tidied up
  • Coloured my hair
  • Told you it was a bore

8 things I love about winter:
  • Yeah, right
  • No, seriously
  • Okay, no bugs
  • All the city stench is usually frozen
  • But then so am I
  • Laughing at the snow closures for an inch of snow (I kid because I love you all)
  • The glorious clear blue sky
  • Christmas - but I miss my fireplace

8 things I am passionate about:
  • Reading
  • Sibu (my cat)
  • My camera
  • This is hard
  • Swedish and English ancestry - we aren't passionate about much
  • If I were Italian or French, maybe it would be a different story
  • is that eight yet?
  • yes!

8 words/phrases I use often:
  • Shit!
  • How fucking stupid can one person be? (in my head - usually)
  • Yeah! Right!
  • Oh, look at that! (said most often with camera in hand)
  • Flat footed cow! (referring to my upstairs neighbour - or other words that start with f)
  • Transfer please! (I hate public transport)
  • Where the hell is the bus (why I hate pt)
  • and I always tell the cat to "look after the house" as I am leaving

8 things I have learned in the past:
  • Karma is a bitch - act accordingly
  • if you've ever peed using the back bumper of a truck (for support), you might be a redneck
  • If you've ever frozen to the bumper...you must be a misplaced southern redneck
  • learn to laugh at all the shit life thows your way, otherwise you spend most of your time with a stuffy nose and red eyes - not attractive
  • if you open your mind - amazing things will enter
  • Common sense isn't so common
  • Backbone can't be taught or lent to someone
  • Patience only works the first couple of times, then you have to pull out the bitch

For those of you still here by this point... WAKE UP! It's over. I will not be tagging anyone, but please feel free to do this on your own.

Have a great day all.
