Yesterday I had one of those days that remind you why life is good. I didn't do anything fancy like win a million dollars, or backpack across Europe, but it was a nearly perfect day.

I woke up, showered, and put on the outfit I had picked the night before. After examining it in the mirror, I decided I didn't like it anymore, but rather than telling myself how awful it looked and that nothing looked good on me, I changed and that was that! This is groundbreaking stuff people!

I had a really good session with my counsellor in the afternoon. The minute I walked in she noted that I seemed perkier for some reason, but she couldn't pin why. And she even noticed my haircut even though she hasn't seen me in weeks! We talked about my family. We talked about school and where I'm living. We talked about how I'm doing. Then she randomly asked, "What do you like about yourself?". This is not a question that has not been posed to me before, however I've never been able to answer it. Until yesterday. Also, she helped me possibly find a job for the fall which is awesome! And then the nice receptionist gave me this random little strawberry candy. And I love me some strawberries.

Then I wrote my last final of summer session. It feels SO good to know that I'm DONE school for summer. 100% DONE. It also was pretty nice to find out I got an A- in my health class. No big deal.

Later, Ben and Lizzy picked me up and we went to Ben's house to hang out. It was SUPER hot outside. (over 30 degrees yo!) Lizzy collapsed upon arrival.
Then we made Ultimate Nachos. Ben is not a fan of chunky salsa. But he ate it like a big boy! Good job bestie!
We watched a movie, and then were invited to go hang out with the family down the street. So we did. The older kids played Bump in the driveway, but I opted to colour with chalk with their little sister.
 I like making friends with little kids. :) This is our joint drawing! It's a stickman from hangman. We each took turns drawing a little part in a different colour until we had a picture.
Then we walked across the street to the park and set up a volleyball net to play. It has been YEARS since I've played volleyball, and it definitely showed haha. Good thing we weren't playing with rules.
We played soccer until it was dark, and went for a slurpee run, and then went back to Ben's house where we played Donkey Kong Racing on the N64 (Legit enough for you?) and THEN....

Last night while skyping with the sensational Mr. Toner, we were discussing our blogs and how many pageviews we each had and I may have said something to the effect of, "I should blog about something racy! That'll get lots of guys to read it at least!". Hence the title. We'll see if this works.

And now that I have shamed the family name considerably, let's move along.

Every once in awhile, life drops a huge everything bomb on me and it feels like I have a hundred billion and six things to worry about. And then I get really stressed out and sad and I snuggle up under a duvet and watch Beaches and Pride and Prejudice and cry and stuff. But then I have a day where things work out and the everything bomb seems a little smaller and life seems a little bit better. Today was one of those days.

I slept in really late, which may have been a waste of a morning, but was something I desperately needed. Then I got just about everything done on my to-do list that I needed to! I love when I actually accomplish things. Later in the afternoon, Ben and Lizzy came over for supper and told me all about their first day of work! We made pizza from scratch and it was REALLY good. Then my friends did the dishes and forbid me from helping. I had to listen. Lizzy gave me THE LOOK. And while we were in the kitchen we did the Cha Cha Slide. And then Ben taught Lizzy the Hoedown Throwdown. However,   since I promised I wouldn't post the video anywhere on the internet, you'll just have to settle for pictures. :P
 The three of us proceeded to run important errands, such as getting ice cream. And jamming out in the car to Lizzy's baller playlist and laughing at the faces of people in the cars passing us. Ben and Lizzy's friend Pendo was playing in a soccer game, so after getting ice cream, we went to go watch! I was really happy I got to just hang out and chat with them, since I won't see them as often as I'd like for the next little while now that they're working.
 We may have stayed after the game to play ourselves...
