30-year-olds need jeans too

It’s been a really long time since I posted anything and that is my bad. I’ve let life get in the way of my last form of totally honest and creative expression of just being Alisha. Which leads me to the idea behind this post… I’m turning 30 this summer and while I’m not all that bent out of shape about it (yet - I reserve the right to lose it later on) I can...

There's no appropriate way to say this...

I just bought a slow cooker. It’s family sized and I am in love with it. My first meal was a chili that my boyfriend and I decided to take on and invite my best bud and bro over for. The BF is a fan of spice, while I am definitely not - in fact I fear and hate it all at the same time. Let me just say that chili making with your BF is adorable. So adorable that it will make you want to...

“I feel like a house, and you look like a pervert.”

“What’s the difference between a farrari and a boner….? I don’t...”

– This is a text I got last Sunday afternoon from a boy I met at a bar a while back, and was feeling vulnerable enough to give my number to. This reminds me of two things: 1) Boys are so dumb sometimes and 2) Poor spelling is an epidemic (and it’s also a little unattractive, frankly).

There will always be vomit

“So, I know we’ve only been seeing each other for a few weeks - and I really like you - but on a scale of one to ten, ten being you never want to see me again: How do you feel about me vomiting right now” That pretty much sets the tone of my quiet Friday night at home last weekend. Try as we do to control every little aspect of our lives, there is always going to be vomit....

So, this IS a date

Heads up people, if you ask a girl like me out to a BBQ in front of your friend and later refer to it as a “party, Wooo!”, I will not be 100% sure that it’s a date. Spending a week trying to decide if you are going on a date or to a BBQ party is pretty amusing. Trying to ask quantity questions without looking like a jackass is a near impossible feat - and even then you...

No more barking in Moxies - now that the Jets are...

Disappointment is a hard pill to swallow. When things don’t go the way you want them to, it eats at you. If you’re like me - you replay things over and over in your head until you’ve decided that some random act/decision/event in your life has been a momentous turning point - that up until now was nothing more than a blip on the radar. All of this is bullshit. And the truth is...

Cabby kisses and early AM nightmares

After months of not exactly being “lucky in love” I have tried to keep a positive attitude, however this past weekend may have hammered the final nail in the coffin. Allow me to set the scene. The evening started out pretty hilarious. Dinner with the work crew, a limo ride to the Rhianna concert. We got carded in line for drinks (always an ego boost). We danced, we sang, we acted...

Blow harder and longer (not like that you sicko)

If you’re making a trip to Hawk Lake, give me a call, because I have a serious in. Upon finding the perfect place to park our cars over the May long weekend I knew we had hit the jackpot when I first spoke to Bill over the phone and asked him how much moolah he might want to compensate him for the grand favour he was about to do us and he responded: “Oh, well, Fuck, I don’t...

Thoughts on online saliva swapping?

So lately there has been a lot of talk around my circle of friends about online dating. It’s amazing to me what a black and white issue people think this is - you’re either in or you’re out…unless of course you’re me. I’m not trying to be cool, but I really feel like my reason for being on the fence is a little different than the usual suspects. I work in...

Snap out of it Norman!

I have this friend who use to always poke people when they were grumpy. She would whip out those pointer fingers like shiny pistols and start jabbing them between your ribs. It always hurt a little, and it made you feel like an ass - but it always got the same reaction: “STOP!” You would think this was a negative - as it certainly has the opportunity to make a person very aggravated....

FOOT STOMPIN’ FESTIVALE Last weekend the gang all headed to Winnipeg’s Festivale du Voyageur. One of the annual winter events in our fine city, you can do everything here from enjoy the amazing snow sculptures, taste some caribou juice, twist some maple syrup on a stick or dance to the foot stompin’ beats of the French Canadian. Even though it was -30 C, we toughed it out,...

Find the (Fun)ny

So I haven’t been feeling very funny lately. I have been keeping myself busy with a new promotion and friends and adjusting to this new life of mine. As a person who prefers instant results, I’m finding it a little too complicated that life doesn’t seem to follow suit. Let’s see, so many things have happened since I last wrote. The holiday’s: always a disappointment,...

Toe Bruises and Chai Lattes

Last week I took off my toe nail polish. I don’t know if this happens to everyone else, but it was a fairly common occurrence in my house growing up to have random bruises and not know where they came from. Once I had a bruise on my right thigh for months before I realized I was letting the dishwasher door fall on my leg and it was leaving a little bruise. So it was no surprise to me when...

When pulling your first B&E ...

I actually can’t believe that this happened, but it did - so here it is. Picture this… I’m in a rush. Always. Anyway, I’m in a rush and it’s one of those things where you get out of your apartment and then you lock the door and you realize you’re not wearing your shoes and so you have to unlock the door and go back in and find the right sneakers and put your...

I'm coming for you happy

I’ve had a lot on my mind this week - it’s been a little tough. I’m trying to get on board with that whole “time heals all wounds” thing. But no one ever finishes that sentence with that whole “time is never-ending” part. Anyway, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and I’ve come to the conclusion that happy might be more of a marathon than a...

VEET 1, ALISHA 0

Just because your friend is some sort of PRO self-waxing guru, doesn’t mean you are. That is my tip for the night. Long story, shortened. My friend-erella decides to do a little pre-evening grooming and leaves me the tools if I so desire. Her escapades leave me to believe that it is easy - and all I have to do is commit. Her words - not mine. Well, this freckle faced, blue-eyed lady did...

29th YEAR OF LIFE, BUT 28 YEARS OLD This past weekend was my birthday! I was born on July 4th at 3:33 in the wee hours of the morning. My mother feels that my inconsiderate hour of birth pretty much laid out a future path of needing to do things the minute I make the decision to do them. I decided for my birthday I wanted my girls to go with me to see some live music - and we did! Royal Canoe...

On the issue of control

Hello my name is Alisha - and I have an A type personality. So the thing is that I really like to be in control. Of my emotions, my schedule, my body weight, my television remote. I want it all. Most people tell me that is a negative, or a “work on”. It definitely back fires, so I won’t disagree that I need to ease up on the whole expectation of power thing. When I can’t...

HACKERS & SMACKERS Our first golf outing of the season was met with sunshine, the great Canadian goose and a strange guy who talks to his clubs. Overall - I think we outdid the one hit wonder that was last season. Channeling my inner Tiger Woods (and yes, I would rather be a dirty, guilt-faker golf god than not) I kept my air kicks and swearing to a minimum because my brother was there. ...
