Five Question Friday

I totally forgot about 5QF when I posted (twice!) earlier today. Forgive me for inundating y’all with posts. Think of it as me making up for not posting for 5 days…

Before you read any further, you must (yes, must) check out the half nakedness here and here. You’re welcome.

Also?

Royal Wedding.

Totally awesome, no?

I have a major girl crush on Kate, excuse me, Catherine.

So far I’ve only watched a few clips, but I plan on watching the actual ceremony sometime this evening or tomorrow morning.

The Cowboy absolutely hates that I recorded it, but whatever, he watches crap C sci-fi movies all the time, so I think that gets me a Royal Wedding.

***

On to Five Question Friday. Questions, as always, from Mama M.

1. If you could buy any car, money not an option, what would it be?

2. What was your worst first date ever?

3. How old were you when you fell in love for the first time?

4. When was the last time you reconciled your checkbook?

5. If you were going to fashion a “Wanted” Ad for a best friend, how would you word it?

1. If you could buy any car, money not an option, what would it be? – Now, if The Cowboy were answering this question, his answer would be much, much different from mine. He’d probably name some crazy-ass Ferrari or other million dollar car.

Not me!

Ever since we test drove this car in January I’ve been dreaming about it. It’s currently a bit out of our price range, but I hope we can get it. What’s the car, you ask?

An Audi Q5. Super sporty SUV and enough room for BABIES!

Audi Q5

2. What was your worst first date ever? – Seeing as I’m married to the guy I dated in high school, I have a very limited number of first dates to draw on; however, the first date with The Cowboy wasn’t totally stellar.

We had arranged that he pick me up after my last class. I had worked my class schedule in Grade 12 so that I was done school around 1:30 instead of at 2:45. He was working on a friend’s farm and was going to leave early. He didn’t. For a reason I still do not understand, I wanted from 1:30 until 2:15 for him to pick me up.

It’s a good thing I waited <3

3. How old were you when you fell in love for the first time? - Sometime around 17. Something to do with some boy who couldn’t manage to pick me up from school on time…

Actually, wait. That’s not 100% true. Although it’s a different love, I was definitely in love with The Boy before I met The Cowboy.

4. When was the last time you reconciled your checkbook? - *cough* *cough*. Never.

Okay, that’s not exactly true. I review our budget and spending monthly and know where everything goes, but I don’t actually reconcile our chequebook. I just review all the transactions in the bank account so I know where they go.

5. If you were going to fashion a “Wanted” Ad for a best friend, how would you word it? – Hm. This is really, really tough. Okay, here goes.

Sometimes shy, sometimes loud, 27 (almost 28) female seeks totally awesome best friend to compliment her awesomeness. Interests in running, hockey, UFC, photography, wine and fashion would be an asset. Best friend activities would include: oogling at hot hockey players and UFC fighters, drinking wine, giggling, shopping, coffee dates, camping and wine tours. I’ll also cook you dinner :P

UFC 129

Continuing with my half naked sports theme this week, I thought I’d post pictures of the two fighters in what’s likely the most good looking UFC main event evah!

The Challenger: Jake Shields

Jake Sheilds UFC 129

Seriously, he’s too pretty to be a fighter!

The Champion: Georges St Pierre

Dang!

What a good looking fight!

I’m super pumped for Saturday.

We’re going to a friend’s place for dinner and they aren’t huge fans like we are – so we’ll be recording it and watching it when we get home. I just have to make sure I don’t check Facebook or Twitter until AFTER we’ve watched the fight!

I can assure you I’ll be wiping the drool off my face tomorrow night.

5/16

Ryan Kesler Sans Shirt

To win the Stanley Cup a hockey team must win 16 times – 4 wins in each best of 7 series.

As of last night the Canucks have 5 of those wins.

(Dang I love seeing Ryan Kesler without a shirt!)

In Celebration of Round 2!

I know, I know, another hockey post! :)

Tonight the Canucks start round 2 of the playoffs against Nashville. I rooted for Nashville over Anaheim because this would be the first time in franchise history that Nashville made it past the first round.

Now?

Sorry Nashville. Canucks all the way!

Nashville is also home to Mike Fisher (aka – Mr. Carrie Underwood) so I know this is going to make for a very interesting and amusing series with the jokes that are bound to be made.

My hope is that these guys come up with a Nucks vs. Preds song based on a Carrie Underwood song :)

(Thanks to IfByYes for reminding me to post this!)

Family Tradition?

Family Tradition?

Sorry about all the hockey-related posts to my  non-hockey loving visitors. However, I am NOT sorry about the gratuitous half nakedness.

The second Alex Burrows scored the game winning goal in overtime last night The Cowboy jumped up, clapped his hands and said, “Shots?!”

(Okay, it was after I screamed insanely loudly jumped up and we hugged)

I thought he was kidding.

He wasn’t.

New tradition?

Tequila shots every time the Canucks move on.

I think it goes will with gratuitous nudity every time the Canucks win a game.

We also received an email from The Cowboy’s parents saying, “We heard you from here”. They may be 600km away, but did yell really loudly so it is possible!
