And being without you is like standing at a cement-filled wall with a roll of Yugoslavian nickels and making a wish.

I don’t really have anything specific to write about, but I know that my sisters will be happy to get to work/wake up on a Monday morning and see an update, which motivates me to give it a shot! I am quite sad that the weekend is ending, because I know this week is going to bring me some stress. Kent has subletted his apartment in order to live closer to his new job in Stratford as head chef at a super cool restaurant! I am very excited to live with him and have a place that feels like home, instead of living like a nomad between his tiny bachelor and my parent’s house. Anyways, the subletter moves in on THURSDAY, which means I need to get a move on in finding us a wonderful place to rent that is super cheap so we can save up to buy an even more wonderful place in not too long. Which is extremely difficult when you consider my full time job, brownie group, dance group, yoga and pilates classes…. but I do have Tuesday off which may be my only saving grace.
ANYWAYS. This weekend was a wonderful one. I spent all of Saturday with Leah, we got our hair styled, went out for lunch with our aunt Rosie at Kent’s restaurant, and went to see Michael Buble in concert. He was so funny and fun and great and of course an amazing singer. We were among the youngest ones there but that is because we are old souls! ha. And have fabulous taste in music. He brought out the romantic in all of us, heck even Leah and I held hands for a bit. 
After the concert, we trekked through the snow down Richmond in our heels to a bar to see a bunch of old friends. We specifically wanted to see our friend Simon who is visiting from Edmonton, and shower him with love because he is awesome and the funniest guy alive. All in all….. We could not have planned a better girly day! Being with Leah always makes me feel good about life. I think that we bring out the best in each other - just like the right colour highlights bring out the best colour in your face. Then today, as every Sunday, I spent the day with Kent, and the evening with my sisters Erica and Katelyn, and the best yoga teacher in the world (in my totally unbiased opinion), my cousin Lara.
Last week after seeing 27 Dresses, Erica asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding! I am super excited because of all of the fun things it entails - wedding shows (starting next Sunday!), dress shopping, bachelorette party, and of course the wedding itself.
This is a picture of Leah, our friend Simon, me, and my best friend Michelle from Saturday night. Look how happy Simon makes me!! 
And another picture of us with Simon from a few years ago, this time with our little friend Jason!

Happy Friday y’all!
We have some cool links for you today, a blog promotion tip, and - the best - ANTICIPATION! Kate and Scott’s Stag and Doe is this weekend. The planning and preparation is pretty much over. Judging from the last Stag and Doe we all went to, there will be some crazy pictures resulting. Plus, we’ll tell you how to plan a super-successful stag and doe / buck and doe / jack and jill / wedding social. Definitely the most entertaining way to celebrate and help fun your wedding!
Blog Promotion Tip
Are you on Facebook, and have a Wordpress blog as well? Let your friends know about it by adding the Wordpress app to your profile. We found a blogger who posted great instructions on adding the Wordpress app to your profile. Thanks, Thomas!
Erica, Micaela, and Katelyn have it on their profiles, and FiveBlondes has seen a good amount of traffic come through from our friends clicking through. Thanks, friends! Now, go tell your friends who don’t know us, ok? OK!
When it comes to shopping and fun finds, there’s one website I check every day: Outblush is “The Shopping Blog for Women” - what could be better? Outblush always finds the cutest and trendiest clothes, accessories, home decor, gadgets, books, and more! They have a newsletter and RSS feed so you can get the best stuff, however you want it. What’s your favorite item this week?
Our fun online find this week is a custom email image generator. This is great tool to use for your blog or website - put it in your sidebar if you want to let people know how to reach you, without falling prey to an evil SPAM-BOT trolling the web for your email address! If you have an address with a common provider such as Gmail or Hotmail (check out the list!) , you can get an image with their logo on it. This is fantastic for people with visual memories! If your email provider isn’t represented, no worries - you can get a custom button made, and even pick your own colours. I made two - one for our GMail addy, and a custom button for our fiveblondes [dot] ca address.
Why don’t you email us? We’d love to hear from you.

100% Blonde

Found a good (un-offensive!!) blonde joke today.
It’s right here. Scobelizer even likes this one, had it on his blog at one time (I can’t seem to find it anymore, though)
On another topic altogether (sort of), don’t you just love Legally Blonde?
