6. Unknown year - When Jess and I both got the same Kelly Clarkson CD.
5. Another Unknown Year- When I cut/coloured my hair in the same style as Martina McBride and then went to a hockey game of some boys from school (I think it was some of the guys from Joseph/Fiddler) and someone told me I looked like her. Always a good day when someone says you look like your favourite singer.
4. 2010 - When Danielle and I went to Save-On Foods and got free leftover chocolate. Delish!
3. 2007 - When Chelsea (I think it was Chelsea) thought way ahead and brought Valentine's Day decorations to Uganda and decorated our kitchen before anyone was awake. So special!
2. 2004 (?) - When all the flowers had been handed out (from the school fundraiser) I heard someone say my name in the hallway. My heart started racing, I was so excited! They brought a beautiful bouquet in and I opened the card. Someone asked who they were from and I blushed and said, "My Mom". Ridiculously embarrassing for a 14 year old, wonderfully lovely to a 22 year old.
1. 2011 - When I walked to the store and bought myself flowers, chocolate and a magazine with The Bachelor - Brad Womack on the cover and decided that for this year I will remember what it means to love myself and to love who I was created to be! This will include, reading the magazine, eating the chocolate, smelling the flowers and most likely painting or doing something crafty.
Happy Valentine's Day! Hope it's full of LOVE!!!

Top Six Things I Hope I Won't Do When I'm A Parent
6. Make My Entire Family Wear Matching Clothes - When I was growing up there was a family at our church who did this. Mom, Dad, Kids, everyone. All the same pattern, material, everything.
5. Let My 4-Year-Old Son Wear Justin Bieber T-Shirts - Yes I saw this recently.
4. Let My Kids Have Cell Phones Before They Can Afford To Pay For Them - I'm sorry but children do not need to text. Children do not need cell phones.
3. Pull My Child By The Ear - In researching this post I asked my mother what is something I shouldn't do when I have children and she demonstrated this act of frustration. It hurts.
2. Watch The Wiggles - Most children's shows are a little strange and annoying and don't make much sense and get stuck in your head in the worst way. But from what I have seen of the Wiggles, they are the worst. No Wiggles in my house thank you.
1. Nurse A Baby In A Movie Theatre - Inspiration for this post. I was on a date the other night and we were a little shocked why we a) saw that the couple in front of use had a baby with them (which could be kind of annoying and disruptive and why would you bring a baby in the first place?) a b) realized that right at the dramatic climax of the movies the woman began to NURSE her baby. Needless to say, I covered my face with my sweater and pretended to be moved to tears by Katherin Heigl's performance.

Top 6 Things to get Back After a Break Up
Inspired by a conversation with Dan
6) Your Black T-shirt- After the silence, the what ifs, the what could have been stage, you realize that you left an important piece of clothing at their house, your balck t-shirt. This versatile piece of clothing fits any occasion, relaxing, funeraling, you name it. It's also easy to forget and is nessecary to have. Sure, you could buy another one, but you want yours back. Also ben Folds sings about it....
5) Your Gameboy- At some point during the relationship, you probably let them play with your Nintendo DS, no doubt Mario Cart or a game of that nature. As a token of trust and goodwill, you let them keep playing after they begged you to keep it for a few days, which turned into a few months as they attempted to defeat Bowser. Sure, it was a great common interest, but now your broken up you have a lot more time on your hands, which can be filled with a Gameboy, and maybe tears.
4) Kitchenware- The making and preparing of food is a great couples activity, as long as there are no attempted poisionings when things go South. There is no doubt you brought some sort of tupperware or kitchen item with food in it being the ideal romantic type. That time is over, you now need something to keep your left over pizza in. I bet you wish you had that tupperware container instead of it being locked up in the Fortress of Solitude.
3) Your Couples Improvement Books- If your a guy, please tell me you don't have any of these to pick up, if you do, I guess you guys didnt study it hard enough. Important Note: While picking it up, don't say something like, "I need it for my next relationship" or, "I guess we won't be needing this anymore," have some class.
2) Your TV on DVD Series- Every couple has this. its an excuse to be close to each other. Whether it's a drama like th O.C., a terrible show like Prison break, or a decent show like The Office, it is vital to get this item back. Nothing says I've moved on like like taking this nifty box set back and watching it by yourself or with someone else. By the way, you can't wacth the same series in your next relationship, be a little bit creative, it could also get sort of weird. apparently the brain associates memories to images. If all you can think of is the time you spilt coffee on yourself with your former Lover, probably not a good idea to wacth it with your current Lover. I could see things going badly by starting to say, "Remeber that time we watched this episode and I......"
1) Your Dignity- I think you left it in that box over there by the twenty post break up love letters you sent....

Top Six Things You Don't Want to Hear at Thanksgiving Dinner
6. Careful, the cat licked that
5. Why don't you have a boyfriend yet?
4. Mom, I think the stove is broken (inspiration for this post - we are currently cooking dinner at our neighbor's house)
3. The expiry date on the turkey was a few days ago...but I probably cooked out all the mold
2. The stuffing is gluten free!
1. There are so many calories in the dinner, I decided not to make dessert.

Top Six Things To Do When You Live Alone
I am living in an apartment at camp until the end of September and my roomate has left me for a few days. Here are a few things I may or may not have done during my hours of by-myself-living.
6. Turn on whatever music you want (Glee soundtrack) and belt it as loud as you can.
5. Pretend you are the lead singer (Rachel Berry) and perform the afore mentioned song for your imaginary audience. No need to pretend they are in their underwear, when they come from your imagination your audience always adores you.
4. Sleep with the light on. This is not a suggestion for fun, in my case is was because I was afraid of the rats in my ceiling. For you it may be for safety reasons or because your house is messy and you don't want to trip if you need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. If you are able to sleep with the light on you could just do it for the heck of it because it won't be keeping anyone else awake.
3. Eat ice cream for dinner.
2. Eat ice cream for dinner...in your bed
1. Buy a pet fish. I haven't actually done this yet, I will tomorrow. Her name will be Rachel Berry. I might buy two...I need suggestions for another name. This suggestion is to ward off any loneliness that you might face. Sometimes fish actually have some personality (RIP Gilgamesh's Mouth) and they are pretty easy to keep. They also only cost 13 cents at Pet Smart.

Top Six Things I Wish I Could Eat
Yesterday was the fateful day. I remember thinking that the drugs weren't working, that I didn't feel drowsy at all. The next thing I know I was blinking in a bed, looking out over Surrey, wondering where my shoes had gone and feeling great concern over the fact that Michael Jackson was dead. My face hurt and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't close my mouth (thank you gauze). I may be four teeth less wise and I've watched seven movies in the last 24 hours but the thing that is bothering me the most is the ridiculous cravings I've been having for things I may not be able to eat for a couple of weeks!
6. Kraft Dinner
5. Pizza...really gross greasy pizza, like you always see on TV when people from New York are eating pizza
4. Teryaki Chicken Burger from Red Robin (and Fries)
3. One of the Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chunk cookies that my mom's client brought to me Tuesday evening. Giant, delicious, won't make me sick cookies.
2. Cheese Bread
1. The BC Burger from White Spot. I want this the most.
For now I'm sticking with chicken broth and pudding, gatorade and apple juice. And let's not forget the T-3's. The glorious T-3's.
