I need a holiday from this holiday.

Well, another Christmas has come and past and this year was probably one of the best. I have so much to type about but I've just been absolutely wiped from the holidays.

We had our usual Festivus celebration which is going to be my topic of this post.

Festivus is a celebration where a group of my handball buddies bring a: something to eat b: something to drink - in shooter form and c: a gift for a gift exchange (which usually includes something ridiculous like a man thong or a penis mug)

I was doing pretty good, up until the beer bong. Note: Heather + Beer Bong = very drunk Heather. Me and Jaimie then decked ourselves out and went to a social for a few hours...I don't really remember the social but I do remember coming back and passing out, thus ending Festivus for me.

A few pics for the memory books:

Here are some of the rowdies at the party...it was a sausage party for those were all the girls in attendance at that point in the nite and there were more boys upstairs...but of course we didn't mind all the fine fine sausages in our presence.
The girls - The boys were giving us a 'photo shoot' by blowing a fan at us and directing a series of shots...lol
And I don't know what to say about that photo except for thats my bra...heh heh..oh you boys!

Well, I hope everyone else had a great christmas, stay tuned for my next post where I will tell you the wonderful gifts I got for Christmas (such as a Strip Aerobics video from my mom...thanks mom!)

5 Fun Filled Nights! Fun nite II.

Well, its the week before Christmas which means tons and tons of social activities. I had the joy of being a dinner date for a Christmas party on Sunday (I had the the most delicious Pickerel Cheeks for an starter dish and then the Bison tenderloin at a beautiful restaurant called the Tavern at the Park.) I also drank way too much wine and made friends with the wicked cool ladies at my table.

Last nite was our Wildcats x-mas party. It was a wild wild time...until we ran out of wine to drink, but it was definetly a good time while it lasted.

Here is a picture of our cute little Wingers that play on our team.

And a picture of our backs...Jaimiesson being the obvious tall girl on the team compaired to us three 5 foot nothins. Our Pivots both were not there so I don't have photos of them :(
And our beloved coach Jeremy - who has to put up with coaching a team full of girls...we're pretty tolerable most of the time I think... :) Our goalie is the chicka in brown, she does a great job for us between the pipes.
Linda, our youngest player and one of our cute little wingers made us all team bracelets for christmas - which was suuuuch a cute thing to do!
And us being goofs...this look will be forever known as McKay sexy.

Can't wait for the rest of the week :)

10 Things

Man, it sure is getting close to Christmas...and I have done NO shopping what-so-ever! I'm not really all that stressed cause this holiday is more about spending time and having fun with your friends and family than the gifts you get.

Oh, and I'm one of those terrible people to shop for. If I want something, I got out and buy it so when it comes to Christmas or my birthday getting me a gift is pretty hard.

So, I've made a list of 10 things I want for Christmas (or 10 things I will buy myself next week if I don't get them for Christmas)

Heathers Wish List:

10. Victoria Secrets Newest Spaceage Super Bra...Ladies, this thing lifts aaaand separates! I'm wearing the nude color one in my pic, but I want a black one cause most of my clothes are black.

9. Tools: Needlenose pliers or Chain nose ones, some wire cutters and an exacto knife or two would also please me.

8. (this is already getting hard)...uh...I would like a wallet and a Day Planner: I've been meaning to buy myself one but my family needs something they can get me for our gift exchange so I've been walking around with my money in a zip lock bag (classy!). I would like a Black one from Danier Leather.

7. Video Games: I don't have time to play these days unfortunately, but I totally would like to have a reason to be a slacker every once in a while :)

6. Dinner: I love food...taking me out for food cause you don't know what to get me is a great idea...but none of that Perkins kinda food, its gotta be a sweet ass steak and some mussles!

5. Mac Makeup: I'm 24 and I finally started a make up collection! I currently have: 2 eye shadows, 1 lip gloss and mascara. I would like some neutral eyeshadows because I don't like to be all painted up...I can't pass that look off very well at all.

4: A donation in my name: To a worthy Christmas Charity or the Diabetes foundation (my dad has Diabetes) would be nice too.

3. Perfume: For those who really love me and wanna spend the bigger bucks on me I like Angel and Euphoria.

2. Something Handmade: And I don't care if you suck at making stuff...if you craft out some kind of decoration or write me a poem or give me a homemade bottle of wine or cookies I'm lovin it cause you've used something that I deem more important than anything, your time.

1. Flowers: What girl doesn't like flowers?!?! Even if you're all like 'no, I'm the kind of girl that doesn't like flowers' you know that if you get them you're totally stoked so don't give me that crap about not liking flowers. (Note: No one has ever given me flowers (other than my dad))

Bonus one: A trip! Man, a trip to basically anywhere would be such a great gift cause I love to travel.

Heather's "dont buy me" List:

10. Candles - I have a million Candles cause it seems to be the perfect thing to get a female when you don't know what to get them.

9. Bath stuff - I don't mind bath stuff, but I'm soooo picky when it comes to lotions and smell that the chances of me using it may not be very high.

8. Stuffed Animals - Cute when I was 10...now just kinda cluttering up my house and of course you can't throw it away cause the moment it goes missing the person who gave it to you can sense it or something.

7. Lingerie - Cute idea, but sometimes this can go horribly horribly wrong...Once agian, I'm very particular and I'd rather pick it out with a person than be surprised/horrified by something they buy for me (NOTE: I'm terrible at hiding horror/surprise/angry/disappointment...you totally know when I am)

6. Gym Memberships - I have one, but just as a general rule of thumb guys...buying your woman a gym membership (especially if she hasn't been talking about getting one or wanting one) = "I think you need to get in shape" and thats not good cause chances are she knows she's outta shape and being reminded of it one Christmas isn't one of those warm fuzzy moments. Same thing goes with buying her a treadmill...lol...

5. Jewellery - It just freaks me out when someone spends that much money on something that I will probably misplace.

4. Clothes - Nothing sucks more than getting a shirt that is either A: Too big for you (did you really think I was that big?!?) or B: Too small for you (better lay off the christmas nog here...) And clothing is such a personal statement for me...once again, picky about what I wear.

3. Animals - Puppies are cute but it boils down to that 'surprising me' factor again...I don't like unexpected surprises.

2. Candles - Did I mention candles? Yeah, no more candles.

1. Any Kind of Christmas Home Decor Item - I'm not the type to stick ceramic Santas on my shelves or put up cute little reindeer wreaths...I don't like seasonal decor items very much because then I have to find a place to store it for the other 11 months of the year. Homemade tree decorations are ok though :)

OK, thats enough outta me! I have to clean up around here a bit!

A little story

Once upon there were two pairs of ugly feet, they were sooo ugly that Heathers mom took one look at them and said 'I'm treating you two to a pedicure for christmas'.


Unfortunately, the pedicure didn't help matters but it gross out the ladies doing the pedicure. (especially Heather's lady) To which Heather thought: We're athletic?!? What do you expect our feet to look like?


Feeling distraught by their ugly foot disorder, they decided to put on tall boots, and shirts to show off a much nicer pair. (as Heather is pointing out)
Then all hell broke loose - the end.

Da Pics

Well, this weekend came and went and it was a fabulous time! Me and Saara shared in some good eats (mmmm mussles), good wine and good times...so good in fact that we didn't actually take too many pictures, so here is what I've got.

Meeting Saara at the Airport. She stalked me for about 5 minutes while I walked around the entire airport trying to find her.
Apparently no one flies out of Winnipeg past 10pm, so we had the whole airport to ourselves, we used the bathroom as our own personal change room...and...uh...I dunno what we're doing here...
The finished product, now we're ready for some fabulous sushi....(I know all the best places to eat in Winnipeg - and there are a lot...Winnipeggers like to eat and party)
The next day, we went shopping and for some good eats (mussles). This is what we wore to our night out at the Spike...well, actually this is the most civilized picture we took that evening...

See?

Then I get frisky.

And show my dominance...(hahhahaa, saa, we never did have a good fight this weekend...probably because my back was broken)

Ah, good times...and thats all I got.

Next time I'm headin to Calgary and we'll do it up there :)

Good times part 1 - The experiment.

So, a molecular geneticist and a computer scientist walk into a bar...of course this is irrelevant because one is loaded on pheromones and one isn't.

The point of this you ask? Well, its part three of "Heathers magical experiment".

My hypothesis? MORE pheromones = MORE guys trying to get with you.

Actually, if I shall use my wonderful math and science background I would say that the amount of pheromones is directly proportional to the amount of boys who try to get with you and is therefore linear.
Unfortunately, the relationship between 'feeling fat and gross' is also directly proportional to the amount of pheromones:
Which makes for an entertaining nite when guys are chasing you but you don't want anything to do with them cause you feel like ass.

It was a good nite had by all though, lots of dancing, lots of action. I picked Saa up from the airport, we did our hair and make up in the airport bathroom (I had just come from my running/handball practice).

We ate sushi, I was going to show her the bar I wanted to take her to tomorrow nite....but there was no line up tonite?!?! So we went in, chugged a beer and danced.

I will add more later, including pics...right now I need sleeep!

UWOC or SWOK?

We had our first official 'UWOC' Dinner tonite. What is UWOC you ask? It stands for 'Unmarried WithOut Children' and its our little dinner group, that so far consists of Di, Jaimie and myself (we all play handball together).

We plan on going to a different restaurant (one that has been ranked in Winnipegs top 10) at the end of each month and this month we started with Amici, a nice 5 star restaurant with an Italian flare.
We had the bruchetta and mussles to start (I LOOOVE mussles and probably ate 90% of them) I believe I had 5 different utencils on my plate when we were only supposed to have two...I guess you can take the girl out of the farm but you can take the farm out of the girl...
There are my lovely dinner dates enjoying their red wine selections.
We recaptured the moment when my button popped open as the waiter was taking our order. I am also seen here enjoying a fine glass of semi dry Riesling. I also tried the house white...I don't recommend that one...
Di had the Gnocci (which we all mispronounced), Jaimie had the risotto and I had a seafood linguine (I was on a seafood kick tonite). Apparently after two glasses of wine each, Di's purse looked very much like a cute furry pet.
After the table was cleaned, Di had no more plates or forks to hide her mess...the spoon just couldn't handle it. Heehee, aw, we had such good times I look forward to next month with my wonderful ladies! (I of course will see them before then in our 'track' aka running handball practice that we will be partaking in on friday)

NOTE:

It has been suggested that our name should be SWOK (Single WithOut Kids)...which one do you guys think?
