I love it when I laugh so hard I cry.

I'm supposed to be doing homework.

Instead I've been watching Ellen videos on youtube.

If you want to be productive, this is not the way to do it.  

Anyhow I found a video I just had to share.

Enjoy :)

It took several minutes after the video was done for me to stop laughing. And crying. 

It's about time!

Johnny and I just did a video chat for the first time tonight and OH MY GOSH WHAT WERE WE WAITING FOR????

We've been doing a semi-long distance relationship for almost 2 years now and we never got around to trying video chat. Honestly I can't remember what our justification was. I think I just might be too stubborn for my own good when it comes to keeping things old school.

What we used to do was just text each other all day and then have anywhere between a 15 minute to 3 hour phone call at the end of the day before we go to bed. Luckily we get free minutes for calls between our phones so it wasn't hurting the phone bill at all.

But now this has opened up a whole new world for us! One in which for me, it makes it 5 times harder to say goodbye at the end of the call. Tonight I tried talking Johnny into sleeping with our laptops open all night but he didn't go for it. I'll try again tomorrow...

Babies: planning vs fever

Johnny thinks I got the baby fever and he thinks I got it bad.

I would have to disagree with him.

He only thinks I have baby fever because I keep coming up with random baby names and asking him what he thinks of them. For me, this is nothing new. I've been thinking up baby names since I was 12, what girl hasn't??

Last week in my Women and Health class we learned about childbirth and I decided that I wanted to try to have a home birth. Johnny fought me on this saying that something could go wrong and I could die or the baby could die if we weren't in the hospital. Which is exactly what I learned about in my class. Society has made us believe that having babies is dangerous for women when really, having babies is exactly what our bodies were designed to do! Either way, this new learning has only led Johnny to believe that I want a baby so bad right now.

Today I had the random thought about using cloth diapers and asked Johnny what his opinion was on the matter. I think cloth diapers would be a great idea because it would save us money from buying a new bag of diapers every week. And it would save on waste because we wouldn't be throwing the diaper out every time the baby gets it dirty. I think this is a genius idea, but as you can guess, it only makes my husband think that I am desperate to be a momma.

Personally, I think this is all just good planning on my part. We already know we're going to have kids one day, so why not start planning for it before it even happens? Yes, I do want a baby, but not today or within the next 9 months. I want to finish school and I am fine with waiting until I graduate before we take that next big step in our lives. It almost seems like there are tons of people we know having their first babies right now, and I am perfectly content to watch them go through the process and learn from their experiences before we do it for ourselves.

What do you think? Do I have baby fever? Or is this totally normal for a girl in my situation?

Pet Peeve #2

This is the second pet peeve I've talked about on the blog. The first was about white gold vs yellow gold.

Today's pet peeve is about people who can't figure out directions. 

These are the people who you invite to your party via facebook with an address posted and everything and they still ask, "How do I get there??" (I seriously need to start vlogging because the voice that goes along with this question is so important to the peeve because that is how you sound in my head!)

If you are one of these people, please keep reading because I am going to tell you how to eradicate that stupid question. 

The reason I hate when people ask for directions is because today we have a magical invention called google maps. If you want to know how to get anywhere, all you do is simply type in your beginning address and the end address and poof! Google tells you exactly how to get there. 

For those of you who may be computer illiterate, I am going to show how to get directions using google maps. 

Step 1: make your way over to google.ca (if the picture is too small to see, click on it to make it bigger)

Google was lookin fancy today for Bram Stoker's 165th b-day.  If your google doesn't look like this, it's okay! Just make sure it says google and you're good. :)

Step 2: type in [place you are] to [place you want to be].

See? You're so close to getting your directions!

Step 3: Click on the "Driving Directions" link and BAM! You've got your own set of directions along with a map for you visual learners out there!

Holy crap! You can get anywhere now!

You can do this for local directions too. Check it out:

Directions to Pizza Hut? Yes please :D

Now that I've educated you, hopefully you can be more independent and find your way anywhere. I just opened up the world to you! You're welcome :)

Feel the Love

I promised I'd write about something happier, so that's what I'm going to do dang it!

Today I thought I'd write about 5 things I love right now and 1 thing I not so love, because let's face it, this is real life and not a Disney fairy tale.

Thing I love #1: multigrain toast with jam. It's so yummy! I'm eating it as I type.

Thing I love #dos (that's two for you non-spanish speakers): My momma. She loves me enough to let me stay with the family for the weekend to try and give my brain the rest it needs.

Thing I love #three (3): having silly text arguments with Johnny. They're about nothing, but for some reason neither of us wants to let the other have the last word. And then suddenly, they magically stop because one of us finally got too lazy to respond, therefore the other person wins!

Thing I love #3+1: My dog, Bindi. Now that I've been moved out of the house for a while, she misses me enough to follow me around when I'm home. This weekend we've been besties :)

Thing I love #5: A good night's sleep. Something I had all weekend. Awesome!

Thing I not so love: Wednesday assignments. There are so many of them! :(

What are some things you love today?

Bindi+Nani = Best friends!
