  1. 2 desserts is so much better than 1! 

     

    And with champagne of course! 

    1. Baratheon

      Baratheon

      Haha I remember being away from my parents with some money for one of the first times.  I went to Tim Hortons and bought a six pack of doughnuts for my lunch.  Thought I was so cool at the time.  One of my favourite memories!  I survived the experience despite childhood warnings from mama. Lol

      When going on tropical vacations or similar, I have often made (or ordered) fancy mimosa and sangria variations for my dessert.

  2. Brilac is having the Malbec! :wub:

      Oh gosh! I love Malbec! Malbec is so delightful and delicious too!  That’s just love! Malbec, love!

  3. Anyone know of cat proof scratching couches - couches that kitty can scratch, but not ruin the couch? 

    1. Heretic

      Heretic

      I don't know how valid this is, but maybe?

      https://www.vice.com/en/article/k78ddy/best-cat-proof-couches

      Either that or buy scratching posts, cut them open, and wrap around the couch legs?

      Wooden chairs from Ikea. Less to wreck? You can just buy more cushions.

      Put a scratching post(s)next to the couch. Problem solved. 

  4. Oh gosh de la gosh! It is almost 9pm! What have I've been doing all day besides school work and sleeping in?! What have you been doing all day is the question I may ask?

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Sleeping in even until 8, 8:30 is the best part of weekends.

      You sleep in until 8, 8:30am on weekends? I just woke up! 

  5. @-DLC-! I gotta tell you - I may be a little late, like 40 minutes late, but the Bachelor is on! 

  6. Pointless things:  decaf coffee, lettuce, and making the bed.  What's the point of making the bed?

      @chon derry, I'm single and I'm not out there to impress. I wouldn't want to set the expectation of impressing.  I heard that on dates you're only supposed to have two drinks max... maybe for others.  

    4. brilac

      brilac

      @-DLC- - I know, right. Like who in their mind would drink non alcoholic beer or wine?!  Like drinking apple juice in place of cider. 

  7. What's your New Years Resolution?  I am going to be healthier - morning walks and such. 

     

    I have 1 hour and 45 minutes to drink the rest of my champagne.  Healthy starts at midnight!

      For me, probably not over-filling my schedule with activities (over this past week, I had a retreat spanning 4 days, but partway through days 2 and 3 I ended up leaving for a chunk of time; now the events I left for were good celebrations too but the hassle of travelling back and forth can be exhausting) and actually saving time for quality events since I also only have so much social battery (or I shouldn't expect to have my 20's energy levels for much longer now that I'm in my early 30s).  Also being at peace and not restless when doing things by myself if nothing is scheduled for that time :)

      Early Happy New year!

      Gosh! I have 25 minutes to drink my champagne! I better drink it.  I am enjoying my Almond Roca.  You know, taking in the chocolates and champagne before midnight. I am going to be healthier starting at midnight.  Taking in healthier choices. 

    4. brilac

      brilac

      Alright, I took big gulps of my champagne.  I am going to go to the roof of my building and see if it is open to see the fireworks from the Space Needle, and if it is not open, I am going to walk up a hill to see the fireworks. I am in a fireworks mood! 

  8. Now very important ~ Is it Dick’s Drive In or Taco Bell! ??

  9. This is my grocery list. What’s on your grocery list?

      Yeah I noticed that. And so is kombucha, but coffee is right at the top!

      I finished my grocery shopping! Grocery shopping excites me! I get excited looking at things and having my list and coupons in one hand. I had a coupon for a $2.00 grande coffee at Starbucks, so I got it and walked around the grocery store. 

       

      Another benefit about wearing a mask is that I can hide my expressions, but my eyes may say it all as well. I was drinking my coffee without a mask and my expressions say it all.  I am very expressionable. I may not say much, but my expression says it all when people don't pay attention to their surroundings and stop all of the sudden in the middle of the isle and hog the isle. I don't get mad, but my eyes get big and something with my expression. I don't believe in shopping carts either, and especially the cost of groceries these days! Who needs a shopping cart? 

       

      Plus when I am wearing a mask, I smile too.  It's so neat looking at everything, and I say things  out loud - like the Lacey cookies! "There you are! I must have you!" 

       

      I get a kick out of going to the grocery store. 

       

      Plus I always think how blessed I am to buy groceries, have a nice apartment that is warm, and pay my bills! Things like that! 

  10. Got my nieces gifts! Got the 5 year old a remote control electric race car! And the teenager a gift set from the Body Shop!  I was thinking for the 5 year old that a flute or drums would be great, you know - something loud! But decided on a race car.

      I used to get gift boxes for my sister and sister in law at The Body Shop. Made shopping quicker lol.

  11. My haircut is totally happenin’!  I have lines!  I love it!

      That would be so hip to have that Canucks logo ^ on the side of my head or all the way around! The Canucks part on one side and then lines to the other side.

      I got this once. It was so fun! I could replace that with the Canucks flying skate logo.  

       

      I was very popular that weekend in Montréal.  And I have to say that this is one of the coolest haircuts I ever got.

  12. Everyone! Please vote for @Roberts (Chad)! If you have not done so, please do.  If you need assistance, I am here to help!

      I like snow in all, but I don't like this cold and bitterness and dark days.  I just want to lie in bed and sleep!

      And eat too!

      Oh yeah, and watch hockey! 

  16. Does anyone know how to remove the clock on the stove/not make the time show? When I look at the clock, it makes me focused on time and I’m trying to get away from that.  I’ve pressed “clock” and nothing happens after that.

      it works pretty good when you are wondering around in the middle of the night

       

      I gave you a bag, cuz that would work too, if you don't have a cute oven mitt

      haha

    4. brilac

      brilac

      ok great! A bag will work great too.  Thanks for the bag! 

  17. It's been an unproductive day for me.  Slept in - still in my sleep wear and drinking coffee.  Searched transportation from Seattle to Vancouver, but the times and cost still don't work. Can't seem to find a suitable evening time.  And surfed CDC.  So that's what I've done today, and just finished eating two cheese sticks.  I think it's time for some peanut butter cups and watch a hockey game.

      I did that today.....really needed it. I go, go, go all the time and so today I just said no to everything. Watching football and working on a costume for work tomorrow. Taking it easy.

       

      Cheers!

      are dressing up as  juice?

      -DLC-

      Ha, that would be good Joe. No I bought a Dollar Shop squid hat and I'm sewing fabric "seaweed" on a black dress (with fringe at the bottom). Easy, no fuss costume.

       

      But I like that idea...have my Juice jersey. I'd have to brush up on my sarcasm and wit.

  18. Some days require more coffee than others. Today is one of them.

  19. Brilac is at the bar!

    1. brilac

      brilac

      Woah, I had to scan a barcode on my phone to view the menu! They don’t have paper menus at this place!

      They’re re-airing the Canucks game.  I cannot re-live that experience!  I was at the game sitting next to a bunch of Kraken fans… It was Climate Pledge Arena, but c’mon, the Canucks are so much more awesome!

    3. brilac

      brilac

      Now that’s more like it.  At the bar, the champagne is $7 per glass.  I had two glasses. 

       

      At Climate Pledge Arena, it was $17 something per can.

       

       

  20. @-DLC-! The finale is on!

    1. -DLC-

      -DLC-

      Wow, it was quite something wasn't it?? 

      I don't know if I really like  Rachel anymore. I feel like she's playing to the camera a bit (like Zack said). I'm super happy for Gabby though...Erich seems sincere, even with the "ex" stuff. I really like Gabby, she's super funny.

      Even though Tino messed up, I felt kind of bad for him. 

  21. It’s raining… Summer is over :(

      @NewbieCanuckFanYou must have a connection outside of CDC with Alf of some sort.  Are you neighbors, friends, former co-workers, a friend of a friend?

    4. NewbieCanuckFan

      NewbieCanuckFan

      Nah, we've actually never met (to the best of my knowledge :ph34r:).:P

  22. @-DLC-!  Our show is on tonight!  You watching?!  I've been waiting all week for this! 

    1. -DLC-

      Absolutely! I thought it was on last night and I was SO disappointed! Yep, I'm already waiting! Cheers, Bri!

      Great for lighting of photos though. My sister used to love overcast days for photography.

      Also to catch up on neglected housework (in my case)

      Agreed.  On the farm we called these days “glummy”.  Good days for:

  24. For those who work from home, what brand of headset with built in microphone do you use when interacting with co-workers and clients?  I looked online, but there are so many brands to choose from. 

  25. I cannot believe I ordered decaf coffee by accident and had it delivered.  After looking at the two bags of decaf coffee in horror, I looked at my order, and yep, I ordered decaf coffee.  Like, who drinks decaf coffee and how could I order that by mistake!!?

      I think everyone at one time or another picks up something from the grocery store and realizes they picked up the wrong thing.

      Some marketing is very subtle on packaging that if you're not careful you get the wrong product.

    4. NewbieCanuckFan

      NewbieCanuckFan

      I never had a 2nd cup of coffee at Alf's house....
