Festive Talk Gives me Hives.. and Dandruff!

Season's Greetings Ya'll !


Moncton Girl has had a pretty boring December.. mainly due to spending too much time at work, so let's just scoot right up to Christmas Day. 


Moncton parents came to visit for the day, this allowed the family to fight in a small apartment as opposed to fighting in a small house. Definitely an upgrade. Gift highlights include: 


From Moncton Mom: 

  • - Bottle of all purpose cleaner   -  perfect for a dirty apartment
  • - 2 huge bottles of Head & Shoulders - apparently I have dirty, dandruff-ie hair
  • - Shoppers Drug Mart Gift Card  - to stock up on other personal hygienic products. 



From Moncton Dad: 

  • - Lock de-icer for my car  - I love to be spoiled during the holidays
  • - Work gloves  - Incase I decide to go into construction as a career





Needless to say my need for material possessions was not fulfilled by these gifts... thankfully I feel fully justified in all the spending I did on myself before Christmas! A win win for Moncton Girl! (and master card!)


After the fulfilled time in Moncton with the parents MG hopped in her car and hit the road for Nowhere town, NS on Boxing day morning.


A entire bottle of windshield wiper fluid later and MG was greeted to a post-it note letting her know that her parents had moved to their cottage for the week. 


Great. MG wanted to drive hours to spend time by herself.

Sunday 4 December 2011

I got 98 problems and the UFE ain't one!

Friday was one of the biggest days for Moncton Girl... She passed the UFE!


For those of you not "in the know' the UFE is a huge 3 day long exam that is required to be a Chartered Accountant. Every girls dream.


Not only did I pass, but so did my two accounting partners in crime: Golden Girl and Outdoor Guy.
Needless to say a huge party was in place for Friday night, thanks to the generous firm we work for.


Now Moncton Girl is not much of a bar star but as this was a special occasion so I put my party hat on..


Highlights of the night:




  • Referring to the 3 bartenders as my "besties" when ordering drinks. 
  • Telling people the tequila in my hand was water
  • Getting cut off. Before midnight. At an open bar. In a VIP room.  At a casino. 
  • Singing Adele's "Someone Like You" to several of the guys I work with. 
  • Telling several managers to "Holla at ya Gurrrl"
  • French braiding a bartenders hair
  • Telling EVERYONE they were going to be my new mentor
  • Taking several photo's with the bartenders
  • Telling everyone was my new life mantra was What Would (Insert name of person currently talking to) Do?     
  • Admitting to googling everyone I come into contact with
  • Telling everyone my online dating story (see Two Shots of Raspberry) and begging to be set up with any guys they know under 30 and not gay. 




I clearly made quite an impression and outed myself as the worst french braider to ever exist in this fine city.


Thank drunk baby jesus I'm a happy friendly drinker.


I will never forget the day (and night) I passed the UFE!  (Golden Girl's bathroom will not forget the morning after)




Looks like this unlucky girl had quite a lucky adventure this weekend!
