its pronounced nuculer

if there is one thing I have learned from watching the show 'Lost' it is that babies are really easy to take care of on deserted islands. They cry when there is dramatic tension but that is about it, all other times they are merely a bundle in a blanket. And as it turns out you don't need to feed them. What have I been doing wasting all this time and money feeding Evie? I wish I knew this when she was born.

tagg-ed?

so I was tagged by Jeremy and Lindsay

The idea is to share six unimportant things about myself and then to tag six other people to do the same thing.

Here are the rules:
1. Link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Post these rules on your blog.
3. Share six unimportant things about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your entry


ok here goes.....


1. I am currently addicted to Dristan Nasal Spray. So about once a year I get a bad cold and the only thing that relieves it is Dristan. Then I keep using it. The thing is that Dristan generates a cycle of stuffy noses so you need to keep using it and if you keep using it your nose stays stuffed. Well I have been using it every night since my last cold. The only way to quit is to do it cold turkey but that means a night of bad stuffy nose sleep. My name is Kristin and I am a dristanaholic.
2. I have never eaten a banana. I can't even stand the smell of them.
3. Speaking of smells, I have smelly feet. I mean rank. Well, only in the summer and only when I wear leather sandals. So if I come to your house in the summer and immediately ask to use the bathroom you can guess I am washing my feet so I don't fill your house with feet stank.
4. I really like to clean bathrooms. They can get so clean and shiny, it gives me such a sense of self satisfaction.
5. I obsessively clip my nails (fingers and toes)I can't stand any white on the end of my nails so they are always clipped as short as I can get them. I chew them when I am stressed out or nervous. I frequently have bleeding fingers during final exams.
6. And speaking of final exams, I have done around 5 years of university and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. haha.

there that is it. I tag Michelle, Mara, Elise and Lar
(if you don't want to do it on your blogs then you can do it in my comments)

it is a great way to keep your hair out of your face

yesterday I got really frustrated with my hair so I cut my bangs short again. I rather like it. I was at the mall yesterday and noticed that everyting in Old Navy for guys was 40% off so jerm met us there after work and he got some nice shorts. Actually he got 4 pairs of shorts. good deal. good deal. in other news all of my travel problems are solved by this handy little item.
it is a bottle that holds the powder formula in the top and water in the bottom. Just twist the top and shake. No more keeping the bottle cool and then trying to find a place to heat it up. This will make the 10 hours to PEI much easier. Its from a company called Phil and Teds they have some pretty cool stuff. Although I would not recommend ordering from their website as they are in New Zealand and shipping on 4 bottles was $85. Luckily I found them on an American web site that ships to Canada.
Evie has entered a stage where sitting is is just too boring. She can't crawl yet but seems to have much more interest in walking. All she wants to do is stand on the furniture and have me walk her around the house. She moves pretty fast for the length of her legs.
