OhMyGod

I am very excited today (well i have been for the past week) because...

1. The LOVE OF MY LIFE was in Toronto (yes, everyone, Sidney Crosby) at the Rogers Cup both celebrating his birthday with Rafael Nadal and watching the match. Unfortunately I was unable to get tickets therefore I couldn't get any close up photos. I think the moment I found out my heart skipped a beat/I squealed like a pig. nbd

Om nom nom: Three delicious things all in one photo

2. Someone (a woman named Julie, specifically) read my blog without me asking! I usually bother my friends to check it out once in a while. Not that i'm trying to get big or anything, but I'd like for at least 2 or 3 people who I don't know to read it. I'm hoping to get some more readers when I write my "30 players in 30 days" post. I wonder if the HFTL blogger will advertise it for me?

3. I go back to Queen's University soon! (i'm a loser, I know) I miss my friends and the atmosphere. I DO NOT miss all the work I'm going to have to do.

I plan to major in psychology and minor in Italian (if that isn't well rounded enough for you, ivy leagues, then I don't know WHAT is) which means a lot of essays. woo?

It has been a good week. I hope yours has too! If not, just try to look forward to the "30 players in 30 days" post!

Thanks again, Julie :)

what a girl wants (but not what she needs)

i went to buy some knobs at anthropologie and walked by a store called Davids (it has a bunch of designer purses and shoes).
i saw these BEAUTIFUL Christian Louboutin shoes that i REALLY REALLY WANT!!

yeah as much as i love these, $895 is a lot of money for a pair of shoes.
so instead of bugging my parents about these, i am settling (bad word to use, but it's the only one i could think of), for these $228 beauties:


i don't know if i like the dusty cedar (below) or the rose dust (right) ones. hrm

yes, i love shoes.

glorious day!

today folks, is one of the most important day of the year, (well at least for the NHL association's popularity and the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise) for today marks the birthday of a man (or should i say "kid") who is the youngest captain to win the Stanley cup. a man who scored the goal that won Canada a gold medal. a man who is perfect in every way (yes, that INCLUDES looks). this man is the best hockey player in the NHL (at least present day. we can't forget Gretzky and Lemieux). ladies and gentlemen, today is Sidney Crosby's 23rd Birthday. I hope by the time I'm his age I have accomplished half as much as he has. (but by the looks of me now, I probably won't!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SID!!

keep on looking great both on and off the ice!

much love,

Josie

new stuff!

okay
so last night i really wanted ice cream, so my friends and I drove to the closest Dairy Queen.

i got a MINT OREO blizzard in a MINI cup!

that's right folks! Dairy Queen has a new cup size for all those kids who can't finish a small, who are on a diet but don't have a lot of willpower, or who aren't too keen on spending money (yes, that's my nice way of saying cheap)!

i know where i'm going to be going on my cheat days more often.

movie review

last night I saw Inception (clearly). I don't want to give the movie away to anyone who hasn't seen it, but let me just say that at some parts I was saying to myself "what the hell is going on". I suggest you watch the movie twice, since that's what I plan to do, (but i'm not going to spend $12.25 again. i'm renting this thing when it comes out on DVD. sorry leo) because it's definitely a mind twister.

i noticed something about leo dicaprio...in almost every movie i've seen him in (minus Titanic because I haven't seen it (yeah, i'm a terrible girl so screw me)) he's crazy. First the aviator, then shutter island, now this. i shouldn't even been complaining because i find crazy people quite attractive. um...anyways. i give him two thumbs up in this movie. nice job, leo.

um so ellen paige was also in this movie. to be honest, as much as i love my canadian actresses and actors, i dont see what's so great about her. i mean she's good but she isn't amazing (yeah, i wasn't in love with juno either. in my opinion, it was overrated). thank god marion coutillard was in this movie to satisfy me in the female acting part of the movie. for those of you who have never heard of her, i highly suggest you watch la vie en rose, especially if you love french movies!

enough of women!

for you girls whose boyfriends or guy friends are begging you to see this movie and you want to see some romantic film, i HIGHLY suggest you watch inception if you're a sucker for a good looking man in a suit. there are PLENTY of them in this movie. i'm not really a leo dicaprio fan myself, but i have a thing for joseph gordon-levitt. can you blame me? i love that boyish charm he has going on.

overall, the movie was amazing, and if you enjoy thinking and having your mind twist and turn, i highly suggest you watch it; it will definitely blow your mind.

blah

okay, so it's really nice outside but i'm super depressed.

why?

I MISS HOCKEY

ahh hockey. the cold arena. the sound of a slap shot. your heart pounding 32839 beats a minute when you're sittng on the edge of you're seat because your team has a power play. the feeling of accomplishment when you're team wins (even though you didn't do anything at all to help them)

and how could i forget the irresistible hockey players.

on september 7th, i will be starting a countdown in preparation for the regulation season to start (yayayayayayayayayayayay!): 30 players in 30 days. i will count down my favourite players from september 7th until october 6th (and yes, the order mattes). i cannot wait to start this! (and you all might feel like you're reading the Hockey for the Ladies blog when i write it, but Stephanie Meyer (blogger) is truly an inspiration, so you can't blame me!)

i've just been sitting in my room and watching videos of one of my favourite players- Sidney Crosby. Not only is he THE BEST player in the NHL, but he's modest, a good sport, CANADIAN (yum!), and really really HOT (there, NOW i sound like i write HFTL)

okay, if this video doesn't make you melt, i don't know WHAT will.

this post has officially made me happy again.
77 days until the season starts! Penguins all the way!

jogging

okay.
so i just want to start off with an apology for being a huge FAILURE at the alphabet of music.
i think in order to be successful with this blog and try to write on it at least 5 times a week, i just need to write whatever i want, not schedule posts.
SO
since i've been so terrible to whoever is reading this, today I am going to talk about the benefits of...
WORKING OUT.
no, i'm not freakin' kiddin. i think you would been laughing if you knew what i look like. now, i'm not in the best shape as I could be in, i've been killing myself trying to get into shape and just be more healthy and lucky, it's been a success! (20 pounds down!)
not only is working out GOOD FOR YOU, but after a nice, hard workout you feel 1009324832 times more energized and awake (so caution: do NOT work out before going to bed or else you'll have trouble falling asleep, hence why i'm writing this post).

now, i'd just like to point out that working out right after you eat is stupid and yes, working out on an empty stomach is even more stupid. so where is the middle? try to eat at least 2-4 hours before working out! I guarentee no cramps and more energy for the work out! Don't forget to EAT though! You need those carbs in ORDER to work out. NEVER CUT OUT A FOOD GROUP FROM YOUR DIET!!!!!
in case you're wondering what you SHOULD be eating, i'll give you a taste (ha!) of what I eat on a daily basis.
9:30- Fibre One Cereal with Skim Milk or a Fibre One bar
11:30- Depending on what's in the fridge, either a Protein Bar or a turkey sandwich with fat free mayo and tomatoes on rye bread
3:00- fruit. don't give me this whole "but fruit has a lot of sugar" bullshit. it's NATURAL sugar. plus fruit is good for short term energy (much better than a can of coke) who is the one losing weight here?
5:30/6- Chicken Breast or Steak (the leanest you can buy) with a salad

and to drink? WATER, WATER, WATER! we're made of it, so why drink anything else?

i do weight training three times a week and cardio four times a week. if 20 pounds isn't motivation for you guys, i don't know what is!

so get off the computer after reading this blog, and get outside for a walk. you gotta start somewhere, right?
