Hello lovelies, please forgive the slight absence - it's been a week and I was so busy and blah blah blah, who cares right? All that matters is I'm back and that's that.
So let's talk cars. I've decided I'm going to keep my car (I know, right, after the car shopping episodes and all) as it's the smarter choice right now. I would love to have something new (I've had my car for quite a long time) but this just makes sense for now. So yesterday I went to my parent's house and my wonderful Dad put my summer tires on, fixed my trunk latch, installed a new headlight switch (I've been driving around without lights... well, I had daytime running lights but those aren't very bright at night and I'd have to hold the lever halfway towards me in order to get the highbeams to come on... I know, a little bit ghetto, but, since I was planning on buying a new car so didn't want to spend the $75 for a new switch) and replaced my burnt out signal bulb. Having a (retired) mechanic for a Dad has huge perks.
After I left their house, I did a bit of shopping (Winners & Joe Fresh) and picked up a few goodies. I'll take some pics and show you what I picked up (exciting). Also, I know I promised you birthday gift pictures and I haven't forgotten, it's just life has gotten in the way and taking perfect pictures takes a lot of time!
Lastly, I created a vlog of my favourite hair products (as someone asked for that) and loaded it onto my computer and it crashed. It won't even turn on. Of course I didn't put the video on my laptop, that would just be too easy. Le sigh. So, you might or might not be seeing that video in the future. On that note, does anyone have a good (free) video editing software? Hook a sistah up.

I love sweet potato. I can't get enough. I bake it, I mash it and now I apparently make it into soup. When I found this recipe, I knew it was love at first sight (hello, did I mention I love sweet potato? It was a no brainer). It was fairly easy to make and enjoyed for many days following the night I made it. Le yum. Get your soup on.

I'm feeling uninspired so no words today. Hope your Tuesday is great, though!
I'm loving lately mixing my masculine leather bracelets with girly bangles

I finally sat down at my sewing machine last night and ... sewed. Yes, I actually focused. And guess what? I'm about to cross of #5 off my April resolutions list (whoomp there it is). No. Big. Deal. And don't fret my friends, I will be sharing the wealth, and by that I mean taking some photos and showing you... I'm keeping them for myself though, sorry (I'm not that wealthy).
Secondly, I went for that test drive I was telling you guys about. It was awesome; the car is sick and really fun to drive. However, the V6 is just more power than I need... okay, that's not true, it's the high gas prices and gas guzzling consumption I'm worried about. Engine power? Pshhh. Gas prices? Eeek. So, I've decided the four cynlinder is a better option, but am taking my time to ensure everything is right. I haven't ruled out other options but won't be making a decision right away. Car shopping to me is scary and exciting, all at once. Anyone else out there shopping for a new (or used) car?
I could be your treble, baby, you could be my bass.
...
It's getting bigger. The bass is getting bigger.
Thanks for you questions and comments on my 'Responding to You' post - I loved your questions. If you had a question and didn't get it in on time, visit my Formspring page where you can ask anonymously. Onto the answers!
1. I always wonder are your the third person from the left in the picture above with your blog name? Thank you! That isn't me, but she does have a great booty and tiny waist. I also really dig her kicks. (For the record, none of them are me)
2. Which is your favorite store/site to buy affordable shoes? Urban Original
3. What do you do for a job? I'm an Executive Assistant.
4. Do you want any kids? Yes, two, but not anytime soon.
5. Do you have any wild and crazy blog goals? ie - do you want to monetize, ever do blogging as a living? I would love to blog for a living (is that possible?) but am very happy to have it as a hobby / passion. As far as monetizing, yes, that'd obviously be great (make some money while doing something I love? Um, does it get more awesome than that?) but nothing wild and crazy. I want to improve the esthetic of my blog, learn better HTML and pull in a bigger audience.
7. What's your favorite part about Canada? I haven't traveled much in Canada but I love summer where I live. It gets super hot (30 degrees C, or more) and there is beautiful scenery.
8. What's the biggest rumor you hear about Americans? (Caitlin!) How do I know if it's a rumour or not? I'm Canadian! Just kidding. Probably that all Americans are overweight. I mean, that's obviously not true but I personally do enjoy the massive portion sizes (for cheap) you get in restaurants down there.
9. How do u get motivated to work out? Ugh, certainly not easy on most days. I think finding something you love to do helps; for me that's mainly classes (Zumba, BodyPump, Spinning, etc.). I like having someone yell at me and keep me focused. Being surrounded by others doing the same thing pushes me. Also, I love working out with a friend. It's not a social thing, it's more of a they-are-counting-on-me-to-be-there thing, and it helps because we are motivating each other. However, I do mainly work out alone.
