Celebrate Like Ron Swanson

… These Wednesday confession posts are one of my most popular posts of the week. Apparently everybody loves gossip and reading all the dirty details. I won’t lie, a lot of my favorite posts come from this link up as well so confess on everyone!

… I read “This is Where I Leave You” by Johnathan Trooper within two days. If it wasn’t for the fact that I had to leave my couch to go to this place called work I would have read it all in one day. Such a great book and I can’t wait for the movie!

… I don’t really find the buildings in Reykjavik all that pretty. Many of the buildings are old and made of concert and just not all that charming. Reykjavik does have a lot of colorful buildings thrown into the mix though and I love finding these gems in my neighbourhood.

… My nails are looking quite ratched these days. It is like my cuticles are taking over! I do not have the patiences to give myself a manicure and with your basic manicure/pedicure costing you almost $100 my cuticles will be sticking around.

…There seems to always be some type of work party here in Iceland. I think I have hung out with my co-workers here more than I ever did with any of my co-workers in the US, and I have only been working here for a few months. Tonight we have a bbq and pub party and I can’t wait to watch some of the usually uptight staff members let loose like I know they will after a drink or two. I will fully enjoy sitting back and watching them look something like this

… The midnight sun is really messing with my sleeping patterns. Last night I woke up with light streaming through my blinds certain that I had overslept and was late to work. When I checked my phone it was 3:45 am! Ugh, I need a sleeping mask.

…When a person sends an email without a hello, please, or thank you I get so irritated.

Just adding these small pleasantries can really change my attitude towards the task you have asked help with!

… H was gone all weekend working and I enjoyed every minute of it. Having the flat to myself was just what I needed to rest up after a busy few weeks at work. Nothing like some alone time!

…The other day I was running and tried to cut across a wet lawn, the result looked something like this. via
Super embarassing but at least the kids playing outside got a good laugh. And I am totally not sorry for the overload of Parks and Recreation gifs, that show is the best!

… Today is my Friday and tomorrow is my birthday! Let the celebrating begin!

  • http://mariellegreen.com/ Marielle Green

    LOVE the Ron Swanson gifs. Midnight sun sounds so cool in theory but it must be torture

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      That is a great way to put it, cool in theory but can be a bit of torture when your trying to sleep!

  • http://www.foodboozeandbaggage.com/ Food Booze & Baggage

    I hate that about emails too! Manners people!!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Seriously, how hard is it to say hello or thank you.

  • http://movebyyourself.com Kelley @ Move By Yourself

    Parks and Rec is the best! And the memes are hilarious!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Parks and Rec is so funny, it gets better with each episode!

  • http://anothercleanslate.com/ Kate @ Another Clean Slate

    Happy early birthday! And now you see why I got hooked on Jonathan Tropper books!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Thank you! Yes thanks for the book recommendation it was so good.

  • http://voyageofthemeemee.com/ Amanda MeeMee

    My cuticles are straight up HIT right now. Like, they’re nasty. And when they get nasty I pick and they just get worse - IT’S A SICK CYCLE!!!!!!!!!
    HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      My cuticles are just nasty ugh! Thank you!

  • Lisa @ Ameliorer la Vie

    Love the pic of the guesthouse with the butterfly! Wow, 3:45 AM is early for it to be light out. When I lived in Korea, I was annoyed because they don’t honor daylight savings, so sometimes it would be light out at about 5 AM and I thought that was bad enough!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Now the sun sets around 1am and rises at 3:30am, each day gets longer and longer!

  • http://www.amyandthegreatworld.com/ AmyMacWorld

    You never have to apologize for any mention of Parks and Rec to me…I love that show! Ron Swanson dancing in that tiny hat might be one of my favorite moments. Enjoy your long BIRTHDAY weekend :) happy day!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Thank you! And glad your a Parks and Rec fan as well.

  • http://sophieinclogs.com Sophie

    Love the running-across-the-lawn GIF - glad at least the children enjoyed that :P

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Thank you! Ha right at least someone got a laugh out of it.

  • http://www.tothedayslikethis.com/ Sammy Dorn

      He really is.

  • http://englishgirlcanadianman.blogspot.ca/ Holly Nelson

    Poor you -falling over is not much fun! I agree with you about the buildings in Reykjavik - I found the same thing when I was there!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      The buildings need some life to them I think. At least they have some coloured houses in the town those help brighten things up!

  • http://www.jadeoak.com/ jackie jade

    even if the buildings are mostly ugly, at least you find some pretties now and then. and yeah, having a weekend boy-free is sometimes really nice!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Very true, at least we have some pretty colourful houses in the mix. Boy-free weekends can be quite nice!
