Oh Snap!

Hi guys! I was pleasantly surprised when I dropped by Lizzy's blog (after not having done so in awhile) to see I had been tagged. Merci, Lizzy!

The rules:
1.) Get very excited that you won. YAYYYY!
2.) Choose ONE of the following options of accepting the OMB award.
a) Get really drunk and blog for 15 minutes straight or for as long as you can focus. (I do not condone this one!)
b) Write about your most embarrassing moment.
c) Write a "Soundtrack of Your Childhood" post.
d) Make your next blog post a vlog (video post). Basically talk to the camera about whatever you want.
e) Take a picture of yourself first thing in the morning before you do anything else (hair, make-up, etc.) and post it.
3.) Pass the award to at least 3 (or more!) other bloggers, but don't forget to tell them!

I thought it would be fun to do the soundtrack of my childhood. Letters A,B, and E were not an option, mainly because they'd result in something potentially awkward. Then again, awkward is my middle name. (I liked the sound of D, though, but I can't figure out my cam!) Any how, heeere goes:

-Macarena, Los Del Rio

-Bittersweet Symphony, The Verve

-Anything Spice Girls

-I Saw the Sign, Ace of Base

-Together Again, Janet Jackson

-Backstreet's Back, BSB

-Semi-Charmed Life, Third Eye Blind

-MMMBop, Hanson

-Hit Me Baby One More Time, Britney Spears

-Mambo No. 5, Lou Bega

-Don't Speak, No Doubt

-Space Jam, Quad City DJs

-No Scrubs, TLC

-Jump Around, House of Pain

Oh gosh, there are so many more I could add here! These songs bring back a lot of nice memories. They are also a testament as to how old I'm feeling right now.

Righto, I now tag... You. Meaning, everyone who comes across this (and hasn't done this yet). This is because my social network isn't that large, (ahaha) and therefore my pickings are slim.

Doo-Wah-Doo

Allo, again; happy summer! I figured it was about time I got back into the swing of blogging, after my month and a half hiatus. The pic above was from a few summers ago, when I was living the life of an Ontario Ranger. I was on... A lake. Ready to embark on a bracing, all-day canoeing adventure into the wilderness! Ahh, good days they were. But this summer, I've stuck around at home. I'm unfortunately jobless this summer, but that's ok, because big things are in store. One particular "big thing" of note is my sister's wedding! I'm telling you, from what new family members and friends I'm going to be introduced to (and the usual gang), it's going to be an excellent night. And morning. Hehe. Also, now that I think of it, I'm not completely jobless. Not if you count a house-sitting/bird-sitting job for a few weeks. I made a new friend in the process; her name's Teeny. And for a small bird, she can certainly make a lot of noise! But she's a darling, and fun to watch when she knocks down her climbing ladder, and swings on her perch. I also make fart noises with my hands to her--while she seems to like them, she can't quite figure them out.

It's been absolutely roasting outside, which means I've been swimming a lot. It also makes for fervent desires for iced cappuccinos. Particularly those from Tim Horton's.

Ok, in other news: I haven't been baking anything as of late. However, since it's summer fruit season I hope to get around to making something with peaches or blueberries. I've had my eye on a peach betty recipe and one for a blueberry buckle. Mmm.

Everybody follow the World Cup?? I personally didn't... I did however keep up with Paul "the Oracle" Octopus (count on me to do that sort of thing). He seems to be a very laid back fellow.

Picture from Kansas City.com

Paul's all like, "I chuz diz box like a gud octopusseh so i can haz moar foodz"

Also, coming up this August in concert news:

KAPOWY.

But not together, unfortunately. Just Sir Paul. Unless Ringo decides to make a surprise appearance. But I'mma supa excited! (picture from here).

And seeing as it is Wednesday, here's something to make it more happy. Aaah, I love it!

Ciao!!
