Shopping Spree (Halifax part 2)

Hello My Dear Minions,

I may of been too busy to update for the past two days, so today I decided to tell you guys about the major events in my life. Let's start on my last day in Halifax, or as I like to call it 'The Shopping Frenzy!' If you don't want to read this post, but want to know what the Shopping Frenzy is, I'll sum it up for you. Me, my twin, and our bestie, set loose in Halifax with multiple outlets and malls to choose from, for 8 hours straight. Thats right. 8 FULL HOURS OF SHOPPING!!!!! Talk about fun...yet slightly painful. Oh the stories I have to tell you! Where do we begin?

How about from the begin? It all started at the Bayer's Lake outlet center. First store was Ardenes, spent a bunch of money, blah, blah, blah, left the store...Oh yes! Pet Smart! It's not that Ardenes wasn't fun, it was I bought I bunch of my clothes there. But the things that happened in Pet Smart. Twinie, and Bestie both have rabbits. So the moment they saw the small dog costumes they immediately thought, 'OMG! Let's torture our innocent bunnies and force them to wear these cute costumes!!' Well maybe not that exactly, but something along those lines. And Bestie may of actually been thinking of putting hers on her puppy, but still! So they looked upon the hundreds of Halloween costumes, yes Halloween costumes for dogs in August, on They finally chose one. Twinie decided on a small red shirt that red 'I'm only for the treats.' which made sense because her rabbit is plain out fat. And Bestie came upon a pink shirt that said '100% Adorable.' seemed the perfect fit for her cute puppy. 

After looking at costumes a wall of small critters caught their eyes. Small, furry, critters. Guinea pigs, to be exact. They went nuts. I must admit, they were pretty cute. Twinie began to beg my mother if we could get one when we returned home. She tried to explain that out of all the pets my sister has had (a small red fish, a hamster named Rascal, and a black hamster named Twilight) None of them really lasted. Basically they were lucky if they lived for a year, and if they did, well, they were insane. So I really don't blame my mother for saying no. Again Twinie begged saying that 'She would take better care of her rabbit
, and show she can take care of a Guinea Pig.' My mother agreed these terms. But I don't think Twinie will ever reach her standards of responsible enough. 

While Twinie, and Bestie were looking at little treats for their pets I was focused on the fish. I find fish are beautiful, peaceful, creatures. They involve a bit of care, but not much. They are silent, and quiet calming. I had my eye on a male crown tailed beta fish, that was a variety of shades of blue. He was truly majestic.  knew I couldn't buy him that day, but I knew that once I had finish decorating my room, I could get myself one. I decided I'd either name it Nova, Galaxy, or TARDIS. My mom said no to the TARDIS name :( . Shortly after these thoughts we left. Once I was at the van I realized something. I didn't have my wallet. I walked into Pet Smart with it, but I hadn't let with it. I instantly sprinted  back into the store and searched every isle. My mind instantly went back to the fish. As it turns out, I had put down my wallet while looking at these amazing fish. But the small change bag wasn't there. Eventually my mom joined me. She told me to ask the employees. Me being an idiot and slightly timid, I decided to ignore her and continue looking. Eventually I gave up, and went back to mom. She was holding my wallet, she went to the employees... they had it the entire time. After bathing them in thanks we finally left.

So that was just one adventure. There are many others, like me spending a lot of my school clothes money and  Doctor Who merchandise and Marvel movies. Whoops? There was also the time we personalized our own 'Share A Coke' can. And me buying the most amazing pair of combat boots I have ever laid eyes on!! *Sighs* That was a fun time. But we don't have time to talk about it all today, so it will have to wait for another time.

Road Trip! :)

Hello People!


So today the girls in my family decided to go on a road trip. Not a very long one, but long enough. Where to you may ask? Well the answer is simple. Halifax, Nova Scotia.


If you've never been on a road trip before you believe that the drive there is fun, quiet, relaxing, and beautifully. Or maybe you have been on one and still think those thoughts. Well you've never gone on one with my family.


 You see we're kind of mixture of psychos all put into one house. Here's a little intro. My mother: Tells you not to do something, goes and does it her self, also hangs out her laundry in the rain. My step-father: Can go from acting like the biggest and loudest jerk you've ever seen, to a super annoying 5 year old with in seconds. My twin: She adores boy bands. I'm talking about '5 Seconds Of Summer', 'One Direction', 'The Cab', etc. Her go to topic is them, and if she's reading it's probably a fan fiction. My brother: Is always doing something loud. Whether it's shouting, playing guitar, playing video games, or even building a bicycle! He's always on the go. My middle sister: She's got the sass and the fire of, well, Satan. You get her angry, she breaks something. But if she wants something she's all over you. Then there's my older sister. I'm pretty sure she's the only sane one in bunch. How she's put up with us all these years, I don't know. But she did it somehow! I think I've always looked up to her for that.


Anyways, back to the story. It started at 1:00 p.m. Now that's a pretty decent time to leave, if we actually left at that time. Both my twin and I got the same idea to pack last minute. Let me tell you, it's a horrible idea. Don't do it! So by the time we actually got the dog to stop trying to sneak his way into the car over and over again, we finally left. The moment the car started Twinie (the name I'm calling my twin) decided to show us that she brought all of her CD's. "Since it's a long drive we'll be able to listen to all of them!" Let me tell you, she was not lying. Not for one second was there a moment of silence. For me this was terrible. Not because it was bad music or anything. Don't get me wrong, I actually like '5 Seconds Of Summer' and 'Ed Sheeran' (especially Ed Sheeran) and even 'One Direction' But listening to them none stop, for hours, when you're running on 8 hours of sleep, is just nauseating.


So I try to block them out. I read some Avenger fan fictions on Wattpad, text my friends, eat some junk food. And it actually worked for a while...Then my mom decided to bother me. Since I was riding shotgun, I got the be her, and I quote, 'secretary'. She was supposed to get a conference call, through blue tooth, later on and since she was driving she couldn't write notes, so I had to do that. And just to let you know, I don't have the neatest penmanship. And if that wasn't made enough, I was also her personal GPS. Meaning she hands me a map, with directions written in the margin. And I read her them at the right time, or she yells at me and we get lost. FUN!!


But I must say, it was all worth it. Those few minutes when I was not busy with my mom, and blocking out Twinie, I could look out the window and see some of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. And even when we reached Halifax and was down town, the city itself look amazing. To say I was impressed when we reached our hotel, Coastal Inn, is an understatement. Two Queen size beds, free Wi-Fi, A pool, free breakfast, and they have some movies that you can sign out and watch in your room. (We chose Spider-man 2)


So after a long car drive, a nice bit of swimming, and a junk food fest while watching Spidey on a flat screen, I can't complain. And this has just been day 1! Tomorrow we do some, okay a lot, of shopping, and maybe even a little sight seeing.


Until then,


The Nerdy Blogger
