Five Blondes Vlogging! Take One

Filed Under Vlog, leah | 17 Comments

Hey hey, it’s VLOG day! For those who may be confused by this term, a vlog is a video blog. Members of the 20 Something Bloggers group have declared today to be VLOG day, so we have a few videos for you. Yes, a few! There’s five of us and none of us live together anymore, so there would be no way to get all of us in one vlog (unless we made cardboard cutouts like we did for our parent’s 25th anniversary party).

We’re starting in Calgary with a vlog by blonde #4, Leah. I guess I mistakenly told her that this is a competition so that’s why she mentions ‘contest’ (unless it is a competition? huh?). It’s a nice long vlog and worth it for the story at the end, I promise. I laugh like crazy at the story. A shocking but true account of why you should never trust her with your pets. Also, her description of what happens in the laundry room is classic Leah.

Enjoy! More vlogs will be posted later in the day!

UPDATE:
Erica’s vlog
Lauren’s vlog
…more to come in the next several days!

When is a good deed really a good deed?

Filed Under Calgary, answer, humour, leah, question | 14 Comments

Tim (on his birthday last week): I did a good deed today.

Leah: I’m so proud of you!

Tim: I bought a bum a beer.

Leah: Oh…

Tim: He said it was his birthday too and I told him that if he could prove it then I would buy him a beer. He showed me his ID, so I really had no choice.

Leah: Celebrating birthdays, one bum at a time.

Would you have bought the bum a beer on his birthday? What about a joint? What about a crack rock? Is there really a difference if each of which is feeding an unhealthy addiction?

(Just for the record, I would have bought the bum a beer too.)

The secret behind his smile.

Filed Under leah, life, relationships | 17 Comments

Tim hates getting his picture taken. But lately, I have found the secret behind his adorable smile that lights up his eyes - I just have to say “But Tim, I want to put this one on the blog” and all of a sudden he perks right up and would pose in any crazy way that I want him to. The funny thing is he has never even seen the blog. One day he was talking about it with his best friend and telling him all about it and his friend asked him the web address - he doesn’t even know it!

Before my posing discovery:

Not so cute.

After my posing discovery:

Look at that attention, eye contact (rare in Tim photos), even the little, mischevious smile. Seriously - all I had to say was “Babe, I want to put this one in the blog.” At the time, I had zero intention of blogging that particular photo but he has inspired me. From now on, you ain’t gonna hear no “Say Cheese” from this girl! Do expect a little more “Blogging this one!” before I snap that shot.

Do your boyfriends/girlfriends/friends read your blogs, or would they if you had a blog? What is the secret behind your partners smile (I need all the help I can get, I have a feeling this trick won’t last long)?
