That's How We Do

Can I just say...these women are hardcore? I love it.

Torn In Two

As I have wanted to continue to make my Nana proud, I have kept up on the intense (no joke) sport of curling. I needed to see where my Norwegian men are...and you know, I bumped into the Canadian team, which I'm not so concerned about. 

But you know what? I am now more torn than ever before. The Canadian team is facing the Norwegian team for the GOLD. Great. Thanks a lot Canada and Norway...you've just torn my heart into two. I admit that I am a loud and proud Canadian, but damn Norway...those pants. 

What is a girl supposed to do? I have a feeling that I will be OK and satisfied with either outcome. I will either be a proud Canadian, being all like "Good for you, Canada, for getting the gold." Or, I will be like "YAYYYYYYYYYY NORWAY!!!! YOUR PANTS ARE AWESOME AND I LOVE YOU!!!!" Oh who am I kidding? I'll be saying that about Norway no matter what...gold or silver.

If you didn't understand the first time, I'll say it again:

I HEART YOU NORWAY AND YOUR ARGYLE PANTS.

Epic Sight Today

Overalls - Check

Garden gloves - Check

Shovel - Check

Bottle of beer - Check

I saw a lovely young woman shoveling her snow today with all of the things above. It was awesome. She took a break to drink her beer. Could this be potentially dangerous or illegal? If so, I would like to try.

Norway Loves Argyle

I think it takes some guts to pull this off, and clearly the Norwegian men's curling team has those guts.

I would probably marry one of them strictly based on the fact that they wear argyle pants. 

My Nana would love that because she's obsessed with curling. Clearly, this is the only way to go now. 

Next mission: Go to Vancouver and pick up one of these argyle-loving curling studs and make my Nana proud.

Creeps On Bikes

Today while I was doing some shopping, I kept on running into this creep on a bike. Luckily, it was only twice, but what are the chances that he was leaving Staples while I was going in, and then leaving Fortinos while I was going in? 

Run-in #1: I'm walking towards the doors of Staples, he is riding his bike away from Staples...and he does the whistle thing. I was confused and wondered if he actually meant that whole whistle thing.

Run-in #2: I'm walking towards the doors of Fortinos, and he's riding his bike away from Fortinos. I'm like, OH GREAT. He goes a little further this time and says "Hey Sexy!" in this low, deep, mumbly-ish voice. I couldn't believe it. I now obviously knew that he meant the whistle thing in our first run-in. 

Um, so...thank creepy guy on bike, you really boosted my ego today.

*eye roll*

Successfully Becoming A Shoe Snob In One Day

Yup, it's official. I am a shoe snob. Today was successfully spent in Toronto, shopping around at Holts, David's, The Bay's "The Room"...and many more designer shops. For the first time in my life, I tried on Christian Louboutin shoes and they were heaven on my feet. I was in love, immediately. These are the gorgeous shoes I tried on:

 

Once those were on, it's just so hard to go back to average people shoes. I was looking for something more nude, but of course, everything nude that was my size, was sold out. Not surprised, since nude is soooo in this season. 

I'm seriously still buzzing on these shoes. They were the best drugs I've ever had! Too bad this kind of drug is way more expensive than your average pot.

Betty Lou Got A New Pair Of Shoes

Although these are not my dream shoes (Chloe "Susan" boots, by the way - and I could have got something a little more similar, without the studded detail - deal breaker), these Aldo "Rask" shoes still caught my eye, and despite them being from Aldo (I do not trust Aldo - bad experience), I ended up buying them anyway. I later semi-regretted it because I thought they slightly looked like pilgrim shoes, but I'm over that, because they at least don't look like pilgrim shoes when they're ON my feet. But hey, I can pull of pilgrim-esque shoes if I want to!

Sorry for the bad pictures. There is horrible lighting in my apartment at night!

I love the studded detail and the buckle. I was hoping to get more buckle...but these are still great. And they kind of make me feel a little bit closer to the rock n' roller that I truly am.

I can't wait until the snow goes away and I can wear these shoes everyday...until the snow comes back again.

Family Day? Really?

Why do we need a stupid statutory holiday in February? I really don't know. And 'Family Day'? For those with a family, everyday is like a family day. And what about those that don't have a family? Anyway...since things are closed across the city, Family Day has turned into a "Let's Draw Faces On Balloons Day"

This is Bob, my friend Tari's dad. (Who has so amazingly described me as a "bright and shining light" - I love Bob...enough said!)

The whole balloon family!

Kids, Take This To Heart

"Don't buy drugs. Become a pop star, and they give you them for free!" - Billy Mack  

Thanks Billy Mack, for that awesome and honest advice. I will never buy drugs again! 

Farewell, 22

It's my birthday today. I'm 23. That's some crazy shit.

Upon my last breakup (OK, fine, ONLY breakup - where I will not be revealing my age, because that'd be embarrassing), I said that I would not probably date someone again until I was 23. So far, I have been correct. I now have 12 months to figure out whether or not I am psychic. Fingers crossed, for multiple reasons.

Bowie + Motown x Alcohol = Best. Night. Ever.

Ohhh the joys of Motown. And Bowie. And alcohol. They're such a great combination!

My friends and I partied it up last night and it was wild! Well, I think. I have personally never slapped so many stranger's asses in my life. What can I say? I love touching people's asses when I get drunk.

And before I forget, the one and only Christina Hyland did my hair and makeup. It was a masterpiece!

 

 

 Best picture of the night goes to Emma, who got her thumb stuck in a bottle and we all hurried to get a picture of it. It was hilarious!

Two Important Life Lessons

I would now like to share some wisdom that I've learned today. Let's call this, "Wise Time with Sheri". 

1. The best time to buy alcohol without getting ID'd is at noon. What kind of 16 year old would be buying alcohol at noon?

2. The best time to shop at IKEA to avoid crazy, uncontrollable crowds is 5pm. People are just leaving work and wanting to go home to a lovely dinner, with or without a lovely family. People just aren't concerned about furniture at 5pm.

That's all for now. Stay tuned for more "Wise Time with Sheri".

The Best Things In Life Aren't Free...

I'm currently lusting after a pair of DVF "Opal" Wedge Platforms, which exude perfection.

And yes, they will be mine. I'm determined, despite the fact that the mink colour option is nearly sold out everywhere...and apparently Holts doesn't carry DVF shoes. Pity, really!

Don't let the beauty blind you! 

 

Aren't they perfect?

I Would Take Her To Kokomo

 

 The perfect non-beachy beach look. Wouldn't you agree? Look at that hat! The sunglasses! The shawl/dress thing that I can't differentiate! It's all very wonderful.
