Yep, Sung knows...

my awesome friends came to visit me in w*****r. this is how we roll :)

Medley of EVERYthing!!

This is one of the neatest things I've found online lately! Seriously, it's a medley of EVERYTHING! PLEASE play around with it all day! I would go as far as to say that it's kind of beautiful...

George Sampson

This kid is only 14 years old. He was the winner of the 2008 season of Britain's Got Talent. He's sick, love this routine.

Mama Time

Yesterday was Mumsie's day. Usually it's spent with a nice dinner, flowers, cards, small gifts (I got my mom a sexy purple scarf). This mother's day was a lot more fun than usual. My sister came out from Winnipeg (yay!!) so she kept me company on our family dinner (with my 2 gramma's) at the golf course restaurant in the neighbouring town. Can I say that it was the most HILARIOUS dining experience of my life!

The server = clearly her first serving job and often made me wonder if it was her first social experience too. (Who asks how the food is when we don't even have plates in front of us!?)

The flower guy = came around giving out carnations to all the mom's. **Word of advice for all you guys out there...if you are going to buy a woman a flower, DO NOT BUY CARNATIONS!! They are the cheapest flower you can buy...it's a nice gesture, but really...** Anyway, this flower guy clearly was a nerd in high school and this was his chance to get the ladies attention that he never got :) Sorry buddy.

Many other things went on to cause me and my sister to practically pee our pants laughing (or trying not to) from the smoker voice lady saying "hello" to the extremely frazzled lady running the buffet. Our table conversation turned into talking about my gramma's and mom's past flames. Found out an interesting story about my gramma....think maybe I'll write a book about her soap opera life! Haha.

But, when all's said and done, the time's I really value is when I can just chill with my mom and share stories and crazy laughs. My mom, sister, and I curled up together on our guest bedroom bed and had wine and just talked about girl things. Not interesting for you guys, but these are mother-daughter moments that really make life awesome and show your mom in a whole new light. My mom is just a teen girl at heart. I love her.

My "Aha!" moment

So I haven't started that sugar challenge yet. But here's the scoop: I don't think I'm going to do that anymore. Wanna know why? Not because I've chickened out, but simply because being healthy is about a whole lifestyle, not just giving up sugary products (although cutting back on the quantity is a good start). I'm trying to avoid eating after 8:00 and I'm guzzling water throughout the day. I've been going for runs (just did 20 minutes today). I did yoga yesterday (and I could definitely feel it today...a little stiff). I'm bumping up my fruit and veggie intake. Maybe I'm just thinking about all this because it's summer and bikini season is riding my ass...or perhaps I have September looming before me with the unitard's staring me down from a distance... You're probably thinking "Well, duh Jill...you should always be thinking like this..." Yes, but sometimes one gets these epiphany's and it really clicks.... I guess this is my Oprah-style "Aha!" moment :)

F.R.E.E. NYLON Mag issue

NYLON is a fashion magazine based in New York. The name comes from NY=New York and LON=London. So witty :) They're releasing a free "young hollywood issue" online. Might as well, right?!

A Little Bit - Lykke Li

Again, weird, but interesting... I like the colours and lighting.

Sweet-aholic Rehab

So, I was watching Oprah today and Jenny McCarthy was on there (she's Jim Carry's wife). She was talking about doing this 30 day challenge of giving up sugar. Ironically enough, I was called a sweet-aholic in the past couple of days hehe. So get this, my mom and I are going to try this whole 30 day challenge and not have refined sugar things for a month! This includes candy, ice cream, non-natural fruit juices, and even cake :( Oh boy this is going to be hard, but I am actually excited to see what happens! Besides, I have to think about September when I have to fit into my volleyball spandex (aka unitard) once again.

I haven't decided when I'm going to start (my mom and I say after we've finished all the sweet things in the house hahaha) but I hope soon!

I am going to keep you all posted on my slow withdrawl into insanity once I begin :)
