Apology

Hello ladies, I'm sorry I haven't been posting recently.  The past lineup of random pictures from my computer comes from a lack of anything interesting to say.  I haven't really been doing anything except working and gardening and thrift shopping.  And catching up on four seasons of Gossip Girl before season five starts this month.  I was pretty sure noone cares to hear about any of those.  :)

Too bad, here it is.

Work has been wonderous.  NOT!  More people quitting with no notice, stupid hours, getting underpaid, and being called in for almost all my days off two weeks in a row, people calling in sick all the time AGAIN.  Also our boss won't let Laura and I work together for more than 15 minutes anymore.  Ugh!

So, I guess my summer is over.  It's been freezing the last couple days.  How sad.  The crappo weather made sure my sunflowers just barely started flowering before they die soon, and my pumpkin, watermelon and strawberries didn't really do anything...  The tomatos and peppers in the green house aren't ready yet, which means they probably won't be ready before the cold kills them.  Our potatoes are tiny, but tasty.

If anyone cares, I have a bajillion pictures on my phone of things I've bought recently that I could post.  Tell me.

And finally, Gossip Girl.  Gossip Girl is my favorite show.  Watch it, it's great.

Big news x2

First, I am now an auntie!! My brother's woman gave birth just after noon today. They are 10 hours away in Vancouver because little Ace needs some special care for a while, but I'll post some pictures as soon as my brother sends us some.

Second, I have added a second author to my blog. My friend Laura that I always write about is going to be writing posts on here as well. I imagine she'll post about out trips, and anime, and shopping trips. But I guess I'll let her tell you what she's all about.

Actually, more news: I might soon be doing a guest post on one of my favorite blogs. I'll tell you more about that when/if that happens.

BIG NEWS.

I'm going to be an auntie today!!!

No Comment.

I don't know if this is happening to other people, but blogger isn't letting me comment on people's posts.  If I go on my phone and blog it seems to work, but not from my computer...  Weird.

The ferry at Kootenay Lake, close to where I live.

I did my hair. Again.

Twice in one week?  Who am I trying to impress?  Haha.  This is pretty much the same as my previous style, but I added a braid.  I even ended up swapping out the little silver bow for the giant pink flower.

I did my hair.

Once in a while I stop being a lazy arse and do my hair nicely.  Sooo, the day I got engaged (!) I decided to do just that.  So here it is:

I just swept all my hair to one side and pinned it up.  Then I curled it and added that giant pink flower.
It looked lovely- for about ten minutes then it fell out...  Damn, I need to remember to buy hair spray one of these days.  And sorry for the pjs, haha.

My ENGAGEMENT ring!!

So here it is!  Finally.  I finally have a ring, and I finally took pictures of it.  What do you think?

 Can you see the two little hearts on each end of the diamonds?

I love it!  The hearts are so me, haha.  I think we've also set a date for our wedding.  September first- of next year.  September first is our anniversary, and our wedding will be on our sixth.

I've missed you!!

Hiiii ladies!  Just a quick post to let you know I'm not dead.  I've been busy with work and family.  The new girl at work recently quit with no notice, of course at the busiest time of year, so I've been there almost every day.  My man got two weeks off for holidays so I've been spending as much time with him as possible.  And since it's the holidays, old friends are home from college and I've made plans with them.  Buuuut, anyway...

I have many posts planned out for you as soon as I get more time.  I have pictures of crafts and nail art I've done, updates on my life, and of course more things that I've bought.  But right now it's the middle of the night so I'm off to bed.

Get to know R.

My name: Roslynn.

Age: 21.

Hometown: Creston, British Columbia, Canada.

Family:  I live with my man and our two cats Domino and Miss.  My family lives about 3 minutes away from us.  They consist of my mum and my stepdad.  My 14 year old sister and 19 year old brother.  My brother's girlfriend is usually there too and she is pregnant.  Yes, I am going to be an auntie in a while!!  My family has many pets: a dog Molly, three cats- Zelda, Bacardi and Goober, some goldfish and a frog.

These pictures are both pretty old, but they show everyone.  (except my brother's woman, but I have no pictures of her.)  That is the last picture of my man and I and the kitties and it's over a year old.  Horrible.  haha.

I think this is enough for now, I don't want you to get bored of me.  (:

Get to know R.

My job: I work the local movie rental store Video Express.  I've been here for a year and a half.  I love this job (most of the time) and the ladies I work with (again, most of the time).  It's part time, mostly closing shifts.  I am also the person who trains new additions to our staff.  I have met three of my best friends working here, and my boss is awesome.  I also say if she wasn't my boss (and closer to my age) we would be best friends.  She loves shopping as much as I do and we can get carried away talking for way too long.  She has great style and I want to steal half her shoes and sweaters and purses despite that fact that she is 63.  hehehe.

Jen and Laura

Me and Jen

Sarah, Me, Laura.

Does this look like a fun place to work?  We get to dress up for Halloween and for new movies when they come out.  The middle picture is from when a war movie came out, we are in camoflauge with face paint.  The top one is Halloween this year and the bottom one is Halloween last year.

Sarah and Jen both no longer work there but I still love them both.  Laura has worked at the movie store for almost four years.  My boss Bernice has been the manager for 16 years.  Lots of people think she is scary, which she is until you get to know her.

Now I am a movie expert, haha.  You can ask me "You know that movie with that guy.  He has a son...  He has brown hair.  What is that called?"  And most of the time I'll actually know what's going on.  It's pretty bad, haha.  We also get to watch movies the weekend before they come out for rent or sale.

Doodle.

Work has been quite dead recently, so last night I did some quick doodles while drinking tea.  (I know, I know, I have a horrible job...)  A conservative school-girl look (aka how I dress)  and a highlighter coloured decora outfit.  Sorry it's sideways...

Busy, busy, busy.

Hiiii ladies!  Sorry for the lack of posts this weekend. 
As you may know, one of the girls where I work was recently fired so we're short on staff.  But then one of the other ladies (who likes to party and do drugs.) decided that she is "sick" and needs two weeks off.  Why were you at the bar if you're so sick?... 
So that leaves us two people short during the busiest time of year.  This means that me and Laura are the only fully trained staff for the holiday season.  Our new girl is lovely, but she isn't much help as she's only had 6 short shifts and doesn't know what she's doing yet.  Laura and I have to pick up all the slack which means working everyday AND longer shifts AND we rarely get breaks.  Lovely.

Anyway, the point of this ramble is that I'll post as soon as I can.  (:

Get to know me.

Kind of.  This is a post to let you in on a kawaii kitsch hobby of mine.  Interior design.  (Yeah, yeah.  You probably already know I love to decorate.)  So I've found some pictures off the internet of ways I would love to decorate my apartment.  I am so lucky that my man doesn't care what I do to it.  Enjoy!

What do you think?

It's taking a long time to get my house so lovely, but I am slowly getting it done.  I just wish I could paint my walls...

PS- I found all these pictures on the internet and I don't take credit for them.

I'm such a dork...

What makes me happy.

• snuggling with my kitties.
• being silly with my man.
• hitting the thrift shops with my mum.
• anime days with Laura.
• drinking too much tea.
• decorating or rearranging my apartment.
• the feeling after you clean your house top-to-bottom.
• doing puzzles or colouring with my mum.
• hot dogs roasts on a bon fire.
• late night Gossip Girl marathons.
• international shopping trips with Laura.

Library

I went to the library the other day and apparently they have movies now.  So I took out Breakfast at Tiffany's and a book called How to Walk in High Heels.  I am excited to watch BAT, which I'll probably do before work tomorrow, and I am enjoying the book which is a guide to pretty much everything in life for ladies.

 This is one of my sister's favorite movies.  I must say the books are a million times better...

Wow, what a boooring post.  Sorry.

Make your day happier.

Make everyday things a little bit cuter.

Heart shaped french fries I made for dinner, yum!

Just a quick update.

First, a picture to get your attention:

My dream house. Very cute and very kitschy, love it.

Lots of stuff going on lately. 

One of the girls at work was fired so we've all had to take over her shifts, ugh!  I moved out of my apartment and into my parent's house, but I miss my man too much so I am moving back in soon.  I just couldn't deal with the millions of kittens (okay, there were only 6, but still) so I wanted to leave until they were gone. 

Ummm, what else?  I don't know really, I've just been really stressed out and haven't made time to blog or even catch up on your blogs.  Hopefully I'll be back in full swing soon. 

Things to look forward to:

• recent buys
• what I've been up to
• Polymer clay tutorials
• apartment decor, since you know I won't put anything back where it was when I move back. Haha.

Japanese motor oil featuring Hello Kitty.  I saw this in my local newspaper...

 Ummmm...  Haha, this is a voodoo doll of me that Jenny Bear made.  She is a weird one.  She stole the hair from my brush.  And just to let you know, I am not that llumpy.  Or made out of a sock.

 This is my old kitten Dopey who moved in with my family and was renamed Goober. *heart*
