Happy Birthday to ME!! Vol.23.1

Just kidding it's in one week.  BUT technically my birthday lasts way longer than just one simple day.  I LOVE it.
It used to start Nov.1 and end somewhere in the week after the 23rd however Miss Emma Cowell comes in to steal my thunder on the 6th of Nov. So i give her that day and Theo feels the need to have the 10th as his day. soooo yes, I guess one could say Im a selfless person for allowing them to celebrate their days....

Birthdays are a funny thing...
1) I mean is the day itself even really that important (YES).  We all spend the whole year leading up to our birthdays claiming to be the age we haven't turned yet. Unless you're my mom and her friends...they probably dial their age back by a year or 2.  But if you ask me I've been 23 since Jan.1st (but then again I have to give Cutch that day because its actually her birthday) So i guess I've been 23 since Jan.2.
Basically so far we've learned that I love myself and my birthday AND that i'm obviously the one who gives people their birthdays?

2) There are way more "milestone" birthdays then there should be.  People are always trying to make their bdays a bigger deal than they actually are..........
1st Birthday HUGE deal... my beautiful niece just rocked her 1st princess party!
Obviously 13,16, 18, 19, 21, 30, 40, 50 and the decade marks that come after that if you still even want to share your age by that point.  But justifying your lame bdays unless you're a self absorbed person like myself is just crazy.
2nd? okay we get it.. you made it past the first one babies.
5th? parents way of mourning the fact their baby is now a "kid".
10? double digits so I guess you can justify this one.
12? ohhhh it's the last year before you're a teenager...??
Then there is my fave years. 17-22 when every single birthday is a big deal because your friend group is all reaching different places... buying porn and lottery tickets... drinking in some countries.... younger friends are catching up to the bar age...no longer a teenager... drinking in alll countries... double digits...early twenties
25 is only almost acceptable because it's half of 50 and entering the grown up life...
see how easy it is to justify

ANYWAYS

3) Speaking of milestones... 23 is a milestone for me ;) because it is my champagne birthday.  half of the people I tell this too don't even know what that means?  It's clearly the very important one where you turn the age of the date you were born. duhhhh.. apologies to my many friends born on the 1sts, 2nds, 3rds, 4ths, 6ths, 9ths, 10ths, and all the brutal dates before you're old enough to pop bottles.

yeah I think this year I will document the birthday festivities as best as possible.  Looking back through my pics I have noticeably gone down hill in the fun department on this day.

soooo cool doing shots at only 18. badass?

having a piƱata is NOT for children...19 No.1

every one needs a limo for at least one birthday. 19 No.2

20 No.1 trying to make the home town as fun as possible.

20 No.2 ttc downtown

21 No.1 fully appropriate to be jumping on beds in the village...

a sort of quiet evening... until amateur night... 21 No.2 

here it is folks... the sober 22 spent at a fashion show (that part was cool)

There you have it... 23 will officially have to pick up the slack from 22.  Direct quote from my ginger friend this morning who wasn't even talking birthdays, but rather about the mere justification of YOLO.......

Lol it's called the 23 crazies remember

MAN-ic Mondays Stephen Amell

Yes it is technically Tuesday out east where most of my favorite people will read this, but it is still Monday here in Van city and I just got the the sudden URGE (sexually... just kidding but not really) to write a MANic Monday post on my recent Ryan Reynolds replacement.

hiiiii Stephen Amell
Welcome to my list of gorgeous husband prospects!!!


I can not for the life of me decide where to begin when describing this flawless man! 
Chizzled jaw line...chizzled abs.... blue blue blue eyes a wife like me could get lost in for eternity!

Stephen has recently jolted onto my sexy men radar with his new hit show Arrow. Watch it. You're welcome. His character's name is Oliver Queen. middle name Hunk...well if I had to guess...

Oliver's bad boy attitude and carefree charm in this show has absolutely won me over.  A modern day robin hood that makes me want to buy my boyfriend a green hooded sweatshirt and demand he learns archery... A man with a bow AND arrow?? thats hot


 This drop of beauty comes from the heavens of hotties!! He makes scars looks like accessories.

Apologies are owed!

Yes it's been forever since I blogged BUT I am not too blame. You see, apologies are truly owed big time to everyone and myself by the one and only Ryan Reynolds!

1) For breaking my heart 
2) For making me too depressed to write annnnnd 
3) For hiding a wedding that I so clearly should've been the bride at!! WTF?!

On Monday June 25th MAN-ic Mondays began with this man, who I really thought would be one of my husbands... (after Brandon Morrow, before Wentworth Miller and Alex Rygus). 
On Friday June 8th, I wrote an article about the lovely Liam and Miley engagement, claiming, and I quote: "As long as Ryan Reynolds doesn’t propose to Blake Lively anytime soon I’ll survive."

Well the evidence is there I'd say; my blogging was delayed in the beginning because I was super busy wearing blazers and being an employed adult after graduation (which I did warn everyone about). But then something tragic happened on Sunday September 9th... my life plan was taken from me by Blake Lively.  I mean who does she think she is!?! When you are so incredibly beautiful, have fantastic hair and an incredible career already it is not a real concept to then secretly marry the most beautiful man, a man that should be in my life? Seems selfish I think...definitely selfish.  

After almost a month of depression, rare showers, lots of ice cream and losing 3 whole pounds... I have finally accepted that I have once again lost one of my favourite soul mates.  I really didn't think I'd survive this one.  I guess my only option now is too remain hopelessly hopeful that the other men on my husband list don't betray me by secretly escaping to South Carolina to have a wedding that I HAVE to find out about in the stupid media... :z 

Whatever... I'm totally over it... 

I wish this selfish, unreal looking couple all the luck in the world? 
FALSE.

I don't know... I guess if you could vote who would you choose?? To me I just feel like the second image is so much bigger and more obviously the right choice...

Option 1...

Option 2...The only real option

MAN-ic Mondays: Olympic Addition

This weekend I have spent some serious timing scouting the Canadian Athletes for looks over talent... I figure they're being judged on their competing skills enough lately that I'd give them some credit for simply being Canadian and sexy!

My top 5 male Olympic contestants:

5. Tory Nyhaug-Heinonen: BMX
Simply because BMX biking has something incredibly dangerous and hot about it.  Tory is from super close by in Coquitlam BC.  He may be the same age as my younger brother but I'm willing to look past that minor detail because this fearless BMX rider is pretty cute ;)




4. Conlin McCabe: Rowing
For anyone who has been reading these posts in the past it has been well established I am big into great hugs.   A cute olympic rower like Conlin McCabe MUST have fantastic arms that I'm just going to go ahead and imagine give excellent hugs.  Plus he has that one sided dimple thing going on that is usually pretty good for melting hearts.




3. Martin Reader: Beach Volleyball
Hiiii Martin... finally breaking my pattern of younger guys, this sexy '84 plays one of the hottest summer sports of all time!! One of the largest reasons I find myself wandering to the beach...volleyball! Let's see, i like your face, I like your hair, i like your bod annnnd yeah your tattooed arms are more than welcome to embrace me anytime!




2. Riley McCormick: Diving
This dreamy diver was only 16 years old when he first competed in the Olympics!!! I almost felt like it was inappropriate to be checking those photos out.  I think I'm in love... watch this video http://www.ctvvancouverisland.ca/tag/riley-mccormick/ I don't know if its safe to say were soul mates butttt I am currently wearing my jays hat while writing this...  husband list FOR SUURE




1. Jared Connaughton: Athletics
BEAUTIFUL man! a sprinter (believe it or not).  Jared is definitely one of my faves.  I used extra pictures on this one because there are just no words for everything this guy has physically going on for him!!! Guilty of creeping his twitter he has a wife that is jacked and equally as gorgeous, good for her!!  Go ahead and try not to fall for his blue blue eyes!!

Chuesday Chunes: Untouchable

"UNTOUCHABLE"

I'm going to continue to share songs that reflect how I'm feeling on here... I kind of feel like its a public diary sooo you're welcome.
Listen to this oldy but goody Taylor Swift tune!

I actually planned to post this last week with a story, but for some reason decided last minute against it. BUT today I'm following another T.Swift lead and choosing to "speak now"...


walls...computer screens...same diff



Untouchable like a distant diamond skyI'm reaching out and I just can't tell you whyI'm caught up in you, I'm caught up in you

Untouchable, burning brighter than the sunAnd when you're close, I feel like coming undone

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dreamIt's like a million little stars spelling out your nameYou gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be togetherCome on, come on, little taste of heaven

It's half full and I won't wait here all dayI know you're saying that you'd be here anywayBut you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sunNow that you're close, I feel like coming undone

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dreamIt's like a million little stars spelling out your nameYou gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be togetherCome on, come on, oh

In the middle of the night waking from this dreamI wanna feel you by my side, standing next to meYou gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be togetherCome on, come on, little taste of heaven

I'm caught up in youOh, oh, oh

But your untouchable, burning brighter than the sunNow that you're close, I feel like coming undone

In the middle of the night when I'm in this dreamIt's like a million little stars spelling out your nameYou gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be togetherCome on, come on, oh
In the middle of the night when I'm in this dreamIt's like a million little stars spelling out your nameYou gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be togetherCome on, come on, come on

In the middle of the night waking from this dreamI wanna feel you by my side, standing next to meYou gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be togetherCome on, come on, little taste of heaven

And in the middle of the night when I'm in this dreamIt's like a million little stars spelling out your nameYou gotta come on, come on, come on, come onCome on, come on, oh, oh, oh

Like a million little stars spelling out your nameThey're spelling out your name, oh

MAN-ic Mondays: Kerry Degman

This sexy model went undefeated in high school wrestling…now he mostly just wrestles me in my dreams!  His beautiful bod can be seen in many ad campaigns including: Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Armani Exchange & H&M, to name a few.


MANic Monday: KERRY DEGMAN


 Although I prefer my Kerry jerseys off,  he is clearly just as mouthwatering in clothing...

MAN-ic Mondays: David Beckham

So David Beckham was in Vancouver last week playing the white caps... Unfortunately I had to listen to the roaring stadium from my window instead of having the pleasure of watching his sexy sweaty self run, what I'm sure is a fantastic soccer bum, up and down the field. turf? pitch? I don't know. I've never even thought twice about soccer aka "football" until recently when I developed a strange attraction to a certain football player...

In light of my new found desire...
I have chosen to drool over this weeks MANic Monday: DAVID BECKHAM ;)

Hard to believe he isn't the most posh one in his marriage ... hA hA #goodjoke 

2 views of him in one picture... not mad about either angle
