A Very Important Birthday

Filed Under Family, birthday, blonde, dreams, exams, sisters | 14 Comments

Wow, doesn’t it seem like there is always a birthday happening at the FiveBlondes? It works out for us, as we sisters love to celebrate.

Today is an extra-important birthday - it is her last single birthday, her first foray into her LATE 20’s, and she was the first of the infamous five blonde farm girls. She was the one who started the often asked and ever-hated question … “Which one are you again?”

Without this girl, our blog would be a puddle of words, swept into a closet in a farm house only to be forgotten about.

So Eri Scari - HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM YOUR SISTERS! This year will be such an exciting one for you, and for all of us. And Thank you for bringing this site to life and us so much closer together. And as the Dutch would say, Congratulations to your parents. Happy 26th!

Thanks for reading! Did you know you can get Five Blondes delivered (semi) daily? Just click for our RSS feed. See you soon!

Heidi Klum Pregnant, and other things I love.

Filed Under blonde, love, micaela, relationships, thoughts | 5 Comments

For the past couple of weeks I have been making my way through season 2 of Project Runway. There is some great designing, I am completely in love with Chloe and Daniel, and Santino’s impressions of Tim Gunn are hilarious. However, the most awe-inspiring part of this season for me so far, although I haven’t made it to Olympus Fashion Week yet, is HEIDI KLUM in all her pregnant glory. Seriously:

Am I wrong???? I hope to look 1/3 as good as her when I am pregnant, off in the very distant future (sorry Leah).

Other things I love these days:

1. Late night blogging and late night glasses of wine.

2. Ladies night on Friday, at which 3 of the five blondes outlasted all of the other tables of ladies in our town, and in fact all of the other tables, until we were left sitting on the floor, very proud of our #1 status:

Clockwise from top left is me, Leah, Katelyn, and my best friend of 19 years, Michelle.

3. The Sex and the City movie!!! Which doesn’t come out for 3 months but I am anxiously awaiting.

4. The book I am currently reading, Manhattan: When I was Young:

5. My crazy, fun, cute boyfriend who I got to spend the whole day with today (unheard of for us)… and by the end of the day he still couldn’t be in a different room from me for more than 12 seconds. I like to think that I am totally loveable, not that he is needy… Just kidding, he isn’t needy (I don’t think.) Just kidding again…

6. My sistas! Kate’s wedding day, pretty dresses, Sandy and Marcie, Leah’s pose, and all of the things that make this picture great:

And a million other things… all for another day.

The Blonde Mystique

Filed Under blonde | 2 Comments

Your view of blondes will never be the same.

I was browsing the National Film Board website at work today and came across this new film. Oh, the power of being a blonde! Enjoy this small blurb about it and if you ever get yours hands on it let me know - we could have a blonde day film screening - only blondes allowed! (Wigs are okay too…)

For women, being blonde is about more than having a head of fair hair. There is the mystique. Envied, reviled, lusted after, joked about, blondes are magnets for their allure, yet mocked for their supposed lack of intelligence. How much of the image of blondes is founded and how much is fiction?

Brunettes Angela Case and Karen Holness and blonde Aubrey Arnason set out to discover if there really is such a thing as a blonde mystique. Our dynamic trio uncover remarkable details about blondes throughout history and the booming business in making the unblonde blonde. They question men in the street, do some research at nightclubs and carry out original field work, where our hosts play a damsel in distress with a broken-down car.

In the ultimate test, Angela, Karen and Aubrey will each change her hair colour to see what life is like on the other side of the peroxide bottle. Your view of blondes will never be the same.

And Reading Week is officially over for me Let me just say that not much reading was done on reading week this year. My accomplishments for the week? Wedding dress shopping with Erica, lots of workity work at le Duck, Ladies Night was a BLAST and a half, and I am champion of Beer Olympics 2008. Four gold medals out of six events. Hup Holland!

Ladies. We’ve gone significantly downhill in our views. EIGHT today. eight! So I’ve decided to come out of my hiding place and write a blog… I have my first midterm tomorrow in Psychology! I’ve been studying nonstop for hourrrs today, so I need a break! In other news, I’ve added the Wordpress Application on Facebook, so maybe we’ll get some viewers from “carletoncanada.facebook.com” in our stats! hmm what to tag this as…I put answers because maybe someone will give me the answers to my psychology midterm….
I’m coming home next weekend! Is anyone more excited than I am? Didn’t think so!
Kate, if you are in need of really nice looking furniture for your house I am more than willing to provide you with a nice shelf, a very useful desk, a beautiful nightstand(which I actually hit my head on once in a while) and a squeeky bed! Great fun!
