Sushi dessert

Tomorrow night I have a birthday dinner with friends and we are making our own sushi. I suggested to the host that we could do dessert sushi and she taught it was a great idea. So here I am tonight with my rice crispies, marshmallows, chocolate and candies diving right into this experiment.

Here are a few pics of what it is suppose to look like once I'll be done.












I'll update the post after this 'experiment' is done and if it doesn't look too bad, I'll post a few pictures of what my sushi dessert looked like.

***Update***
Looks nothing like it, had a blast doing it and eating half of it while doing it.

Mamie

Ca fait longtemps que je n'ai pas écrit en francais, mais ce soir suite aux nouvelles recu au téléphone par ma mère, l'envie me reprend.
Souvent lorsque je vis des émotions intense que des mots francais ne me viennent à l'esprit.

Ma grand-mère, on l'appelle Mamie, à fait un ACV. Elle est paralysé d'un coté et ne semble pas vouloir se réveiller. Le médecins a demandé à ma tante de réunir tous les enfants. Ayant déjà travailler dans un hopital et ayant perdu plusieur membre de ma grande famille, je sais ce que ces mots veulent dire.

Ma grand-mère à 91 ans. Elle a été une mère formidable et une épouse soumis à un mari pas très commode. Depuis le décès de celui-ci, elle a changé, a commencé à profiter de la vie et de petit bonheur auxquels elle n'avait pas droit: commander de la pizza, faire des longues distances, manger du chocolat, gater ses enfants, ect.

Elle ne nous a pas quitté encore, mais à son age il faut bien s'y attendre qu'un jour ou l'autre ce moment viendra.

J'attends que le téléphone sonne de nouveau pour les nouvelles de mon père qui se trouve en ce moment à son chevet.

On passe notre vie à attendre nos ailes, si tu as recu les tiennes envole toi, tu les as tant méritées au cours de cette vie.

Je t'aime Grand-maman.

Bedframeophobia

A few posts ago I wrote about phobias.
I discovered one of mine last night, bedframeophobia.

It's 4:20 am and I am sleeping, my boyfriend gets up to go to the bathroom, since I have a very light sleep I wake up, double check quickly what's going on and go back to sleep. He come's back to bed a few minutes later and I wake up again and hear a cracking noise, but don't really pay attention to it.
Then he turns around in the bed and I hear another cracking noise.

Me: Wake up I think the bed frame is about to break.
Boyfriend: what?
Me: I heard a cracking noise I think the bed frame is about to break.

He gets up and looks under the bed and you can see a few planks of wood hanging from the support of the frame. So he tries to push a few in and then others came out and on and on. He lifted up the mattress and I tried to them all back in order but nothing work. He started to throw things across the bedroom to be able to remove the mattress from the frame, ended up grabbing his drill and stapler (IKEA furniture, some things are screwed in, some are nailed in and some are stapled in) to solidify the whole thing.

He went back to bed, I went to the bathroom, when I came back and laid in bed I heard another cracking noise. I barely slept I was afraid of my boyfriend throwing the bed frame across the bedroom, or the landlord coming up to see what the hell we were doing at this time of night (his bedroom is underneath ours).

This is how I discovered my bedframeophobia.
I just hope it will be a one night phobia, because I sure wish I could go back to bed now.

Team Hoyt

One day a son says to his father: Dad do you want to run a marathon with me?
The dad says yes and they run their first marathon together.

One day a son says to his father: Dad do you want to run the ironman with me?
The ironman is the most difficult marathon there is 4km of swimming, 180 km of cycling and 42 km of running.
The dad says yes and the do the ironman together.

Seems like a pretty simple story, until you see this video.

Enjoy.

Clothes exchange night

Last night I had 13 girls come over to my place for a 'Girls night, clothes exchange night'
Every one of the brought a bag full of clothes, shoes, books, jewelry, make up, ect...
One by one we presented our items. Who ever was interested took it the item, if more than one of us was interested,we drew numbers and the highest number got to keep the piece.
We ate pizza, drank a little and had tones of laughs.

Here is a few pics of the chaos in my living room.








We had a fabulous time and everyone left with something.
Everything that was left that nobody wanted I brought to charity this morning.

Prison hotels

Old prisons converted into 5 stars luxury hotels.
I heard about it a few times on TV but never looked online for them.
So tonight I started looking and found breath taking hotels.

First, here is the Protea Hotel Breakwater Lodge located in South Africa.
A prison in the 19th century, transformed in to a hotel.

Second the Four Seasons in Istanbul.
Created from a century-old neoclassic Turkish prison.

Third, Malmaison in Oxford, UK

There is so many mores out the in world, but I just wanted to share a few of them with you so you can see how gorgeous they are.

What do you think? Would you spend a night in prison?

Erotic banana

Just couldn't stop laughing when I saw this background on igoogle.
Hehehe, I had to share it with you guys.










Then my boyfriend sent me this...











I was laughing so much I was crying . LOLOLOL
I hope it will make you laugh too.

The Habs

Hockey season is just on the start line.
Right now pre-season games have started.
Tonight I watched my first Habs game of this season.
What a disappointment!

I don't know the coach and haven't heard anything good about him.
I don't know most of the players on the team.
The ones I know , half of them still make the same beginners mistakes as last season and the other half is already injured.
The main goalie, the golden child as they call him, is just getting worst each game he plays, yet the general manager worships him.

So my opinion is, this season will suck as much as last season, unless a miracle happens.
They will do like they have been doing the past years, make it to the playoffs on their asses and then lose in the first series.

And to make my disappointment even bigger. I tried again this year to get tickets and the website had bugs again, so no tickets for the second year in a row.
I wrote another complaint letter and again they never answer.

Maybe I should switch teams.

A day at the ZOO

D had promised me that we would go to the ZOO and today was the day.

I got to be a giraffe.


D got to be a lion.


I got to ride an elephant.


D flew a plane.


I got to sit in a kangaroo's pouch.


D fought with an alligator.


Seriously here a few goods pics my cheap camera was able to take. I would of loved to have a good camera and to be able to cross a few gates, but I did not want to be electrocuted or to swim through the little swamps that separated us from the animal.

You remember Melman from Madagascar.






Of course you all know Alex the lion king of New York; He was in the neighborhood so he stopped by.




The plumpy and chunky Gloria.








We finish out the day with a stop at a ice cream stand.
I had a great day, not too many people and not too warm outside.
It was very nice spending this beautiful day with my lover, enjoying every minute together.

Life as a single girl 6/6

Today was my last single girl day.

Went to work as usual.
Then went to get a surprise for the boyfriend at Le Point G (thanks Chiquita)
Cleaned home a little, then ate, then cleaned me.
Watched a little tv and played with the cat again.
And I am now leaving for the airport.

I enjoyed the days alone very much, it is fabulous to have some alone time even if you do nothing, but I am so happy to go get D:)

Life as a single girl 5/6

Very boring day.

Hellish day at work.
Quick dinner with my sister
Spanish class
Chat with boyfriend on msn
Play with cat
Sleep

Life as a single girl 4/6

Today was a hard day, with a little bit of good.
Here's a mix of a little bit of everything that happened.

Bad sleep again, low staff at work, lots of tension.

I went out with a friend for dinner, which was very nice. We chatted for few hours about this and that. I think this guy will be a friend of mine for a very long time.

I got another friend an interview today for a new job after losing his current job.

Spent 45 minutes trying to remove the ugly nail polish from yesterday and it is not all gone. Bad cheap stuff that doesn't want to go away and of course it's black so I look like I have dirty nails.

I cleared my credit card and now I am broke.

One of my girlfriends mother is living a rough part of her life health wise, but she is in a good period right now and it makes my friend smile, which makes me smile.

Spent over an hour trying to do my new short hair and I realized that I don't like short hair.

I don't feel like going to work tomorrow and I don't feel like going to Spanish class tomorrow. I just want to spend a lazy day in bed watching girl movies.

I miss my best friend, but reading my new blogger friends helps.

The cat doesn't understand me when I talk to him in French.

I hate Wednesdays, always have, always will.

I bought Halloween candy to give to kids and I don't know if kids come by in this neighborhood. So I'll end up eating them.

I wanted to talk to my boyfriend but he was with his family and I'd rather talk to him face to face. So the conversation was very short.

I gained another pound and I skipped the gym for another day.

I want a massage so bad, my body is hurting for everywhere.

I'm going to bed to continue reading a book I started.

Big brother is over

So tonight was the last episode of Big Brother 11.
Jordan, the little blond girly girl won.
It was a very good season, glad it's not Nathalie that won.

So my 2 months of watching tv is over.
The Montreal Canadiens are the ones that will be on the TV for the next ohh...8 months (little smiley face that is rolling his eyes)
Don't get me wrong I love hockey, but 3-4 times a week for 8 months, way too much.
