Fifteen Questions

My best of friends Sherri from SHERRIAMOUR tagged me in this fun Q & A chain. She's the one who got me to start bloggin. So go check her out. 

Very, old picture folks

1. What is a nickname only your family calls you?

My family likes to call me Latty...It makes more sense and just sounds right in a Jamaican accent. Like when my Mom says it. 

2. What's a weird habit of yours?

I have a terrible habit of pulling out my hair when I'm reading. 

3. Do you have any weird phobias?

I drive a standard vehicle and I hate! HATE! The feeling when you accidently get stuck in neutral while trying to change gears and it grids. Ugh!

4. What's a song you secretly LOVE to blast & belt out when you're alone?

Ain't too proud to beg - By The Temptations. It's a good boisterous, belting out kinda song. 

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves? 

I really can't put up with rude/stupid behaving people. Especially when it's taken out on an undeserving bystander. 

6. What's one of your nervous habits? 

I Sta-staaa-stutter.

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on? 

Daniel sleeps on the left and I, on the right. And sometimes the left (when I feel like getting snuggly ;)

8. What was your first stuffed animal & it's name? 

I had a blankie. It didn't have a name, just a picture of Mickey, Daffy Duck and Pluto. I lost it somewhere between the car and my house. R.I.P blankie :(

9. What's the drink you ALWAYS order at starbucks? 

Last time I had a beverage at Starbucks was years ago. And I think it was some fruit frappé thing. 

10. What's the beauty rule you preach.. but never ACTUALLY practice? 

Washing your face before bed. I hate washing my face. 

11. Which way do you face in the shower? 

All 4 directions baby! North, South, East aaaaand West. 

12. Do you have any 'weird' body 'skills'?

I can't touch my toes... I think that's weird.

13. What's your favorite 'comfort food'/food thats 'bad' but you love to eat it anyways? 

Candies! I can eat bags (count it) of anything sugary in one sitting. 

14. What's a phrase or exclamation you always say? 

In a sassy black ladies tone of voice, I've worked "Regaaardless!" into my vocab dictionary as of lately.

15. Time to sleep- what are you ACTUALLY wearing?

The boys t-shirt.

Throwback Thursdays: Montell Jordan - This is How We Do It

This past weekend. I went to the boys works Christmas party. It was an evening of great food, great people and great fun! There was a ridiculous amount of  prizes Daniel's boss was giving away that night. But I'm sorry to say, we didn't walk away with any :(. But no matter, I still had me a hum dinger of time. I got up and sang not 1 but 4 songs of karaoke that night. This was one of song I sang that night. Sure brings me back :)

My eventful weekend.

Hello everyone. Meet Stef. Does she look familiar? She should....

She's Daniel's baby sister Stef and she turned 23 over the weekend. She spent her birthday inviting all her close friends to dinner and a movie. First we all went to Don Pedro's, this delicious Mexican restaurant. Then the rest of the crew then headed off to the movie's to watch Breaking Dawn. But not this chick....no sir. Me and my friend Sherri from sherriamour headed to Juss Jazz. A quaint little jazz joint in downtown Winnipeg. We were quite thrilled to hear the smooth vocals of Alie Clark and the After Hours Band. They were reeally good. I look forward to go again and hear the other featuring bands. 

The next evening it was my friend Kelsuma's 22 birthday. We had dinner at Sydney's it was quite the ritzy restaurant.  A little too ritzy if you ask me. Then went out dancing. All in all it was a good night. 

Happy Birthday Girlie's!

This Fellow

Hi There! I just realized that I haven't introduced you to the boy. Everyone say hello to my beloved husband, Daniel.  ^-^

I'm kinda in love ♥

  Early this morning I had to rush him to the hospital because he was experiencing severe lower back pain and throwing up. (I hate to see him in pain) The good people at St.Boniface hospital took him in, gave him a couple T3's and suited him up in the fanciest blue frock they had, I took a few photos but I'm sure Daniel wouldn't be too pleased if I showed the world the little peek-a-boo slit in the back of his gown. The sweet nurse inserted thee biggest IV needle I have ever seen into his arm. The color rushed from his rosy cheeks and he nearly passed out when that nurse started to draw his blood. He then went in for a CT scan of his stomach. After a couple of hours of waiting to hear the results of the x-ray the Doc came in and informed us that Daniel had a few kidney stones. A kidney stone is a solid mass made up of tiny crystals. It forms in the kidney and you feel the surge of the pain when it passes from your kidney to your bladder. Ouch, poor boy :(. Turns out Daniel got them nasty suckers a couple of years back when he was serving his mission in Sapporo, Japan. I hope he never gets them nasty heffa's again.
