Monday, July 4th, 2011day 6- 5 favorite TV shows
Sunday, April 24th, 2011Well I’m not really much of a TV watcher, but if I did watch enough TV to follow 5 shows they would probably be:
1. Grey’s Anatomy
2. Desperate Housewives
3. House
4. Cake Boss
5. Say Yes to the Dress, Wedding SOS or other similar wedding related reality shows
day 5- a picture of somewhere you’ve been
Monday, April 18th, 2011This is the Aberdeen Elementary School. This is where I went to school from kindergarten to Grade 3 before moving to Manitoba.
day 4- a habit that you wish you didn’t have
Monday, April 18th, 2011This one is pretty easy – Smoking. I am working on quitting in fact. My goal is to have quit completely before my 30th birthday (so in about a month and a half).
I’d also like to give up caffiene eventually but one step at a time right?
day 3- a picture of you and your friends
Friday, April 15th, 2011This one is kind of fun though I had a hard time narrowing it down so here’s a whole selection:)
In this gallery – Lisa and I taking the kids on a slurpee run, Missy and I at a party, Jackie, Missy and I at Missy’s Halloween party, The girls night girls
day 2- the meaning behind your blog name
Friday, April 15th, 2011Okay okay Heather lol – I know – I missed two days :p
So the meaning behind my blog name: My blog is called Twisted Pearl. Pearl is my birthstone. Twisted was the best word I could think of to describe my current state of mind/life. There’s a much more complicated explanation to that, but that’s more then I want to share here.
Daily Challenge – Day 1
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011Day 1- recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself
This picture is about two months old I believe.
1. My roommates make fun of me because I have shoes I have never worn and don’t know when I will ever wear – but I love them (the shoes).
2. I collect Tim Horton’s gift cards (seriously – I have 12 or 13 different designs so far)
3. I love to decorate – even if it’s just reorganizing/repurposing stuff I already have.
4. I want to learn Spanish, French and Italian. For no particular reason – just cause.
5. I love to dance – wish I had more excuses to do so.
6. Some day I want to own my own business – 99% chance it will be something wedding related (shocker eh?)
7. In case you missed the hint above – I’m a wedding addict. I blog about weddings as an excuse to feed my addiction and I own dozens of bridal magazines.
8. I’d like to travel – not necessarily major trips (though I want those to) but road trips to quaint little places just because.
9. I’m not an Oprah fan – almost never watch her show – but I LOVE her magazine!
10. I write poetry – actually quite often – but I rarely share them.
11. I occasionally write letters to my brother (he passed away 10 years ago). I share my heart with him, talk to him about how much I miss him, etc – and then usually I tear them up and throw them out so no one reads them. I find it very theraputic for some reason.
12. I love dying my hair – but I can never decide on a color. I tend to stand and stare at the choices until I get tired and just grab a random color lol.
13. I am working on quitting smoking – my goal is to be completely smoke free by the end of the month.
14. I am fiercely stubborn.
15. I love walking – but only when it’s warm out.
Bonus – cause I was told to: I am a caffeine addict and I work at a coffee shop where I can have free coffee all day, but I don’t drink coffee :p

Santa Pet Pics Poster

Getting A Divorce
Thursday, November 18th, 2010A man in Scotland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says,
“I hate to ruin your day but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough”.
“Dad, what are you talking about?’” the son screams.
“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer”, the father says. “We’re sick of each other and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds and tell her”.
Frantically, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone, “Like hell they’re getting divorced”, she shouts, “I’ll take care of this”.
She calls Scotland immediately and screams at her father, “You are NOT getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?”and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.
“Done! They’re coming for Christmas – and they’re paying their own way.”
