So you wanna go to Mars?

The Redneck Princess — Wed, 22 May 2013 06:46:01 +0000

Seriously? Are you people smoking crack on your coffee breaks? Have you seen Mars? Are you really paying attention when they are showing you the brochure? Because dude. It’s dirt there. Not a tree in sight. And oceans. Nothing. Not one. It’s a big sandy beach alright…it’s just missing the fun part. And you can’t [...]

19 years ago around now…

The Redneck Princess — Wed, 22 May 2013 05:29:04 +0000

I was talking to a lady tonight at work. I mean I talk to lots of people at work, but tonight it was just her and I in the store, with Nigel in the back fixing stuff. We were talking about the complex where she lived and how it was over 55 folks, and a [...]

When the crap hits the fan.

Somedays…all you can do is duck. Right? It is May. We are b.u.s.y. at work, which is good, and we like it…but by the end of May, you kind of feel like you got ran over by a truck. A really big truck. You start to speak in tongues and people start to wonder if [...]

Shrimp and Cucumber Salad…

The Redneck Princess — Mon, 20 May 2013 04:45:00 +0000

One of my favorite restaurants in Gibsons makes this salad. I am totally making this recipe up, but it tastes exactly the same… so their secret is no longer safe, because this is going on Pinterest. This is the perfect seafood summer salad, so refreshing and stupid easy to make. Try this today, seriously. This [...]

Thursday night photo shoot…

I have a funny story to tell, seriously I do. But I am just too tired to be funny. I just did six days straight. It’s spring. I work in a kick ass garden centre. Nuff said. So here I sit watching the finale of American Idol. I am dealing with all the bizarre shit they are playing because [...]

It’s Pinterest time…

The Redneck Princess — Thu, 16 May 2013 04:02:57 +0000

I am exhausted, so I am going to cheat tonight and do my favorite Pinterest stuff as of lately. I haven’t even had time to do that, but there is always cool stuff…so here we go!! This has been a killer pinterest pin for my site, so I am sharing it again, if your hair [...]

Mother’s Day surprises…

The Redneck Princess — Tue, 14 May 2013 04:46:22 +0000

Well as usual, I am late. Late in saying Happy Mother’s day to all the fabulous Mom’s out there. I hope your day was relaxing and you got spoiled rotten. Like I did. I just want to say right now, that I have the most fantastic children on the planet. I do, none of you [...]

Really people…really???

The Redneck Princess — Fri, 10 May 2013 06:06:55 +0000

Every day, humanity either amuses me or scares the shit out of me. Some days…both. Throw politics into the pot and shit is going to fly right? We are having an election here on Tuesday. It is a provincial election for the Premier of British Columbia. Now let me just say right here and now, [...]

When Blondie doesn’t even begin to describe me…

The Redneck Princess — Thu, 09 May 2013 06:45:02 +0000

Have you ever had that day? You know the one I am talking about right? The one when you wonder how the hell you can actually make it through the day, or the week for that matter. Welcome to me. I have been trying to get my paperwork all done to get funding to go [...]

Target…I thought you were the one.

The Redneck Princess — Wed, 08 May 2013 05:35:03 +0000

Really, I did. I had unreasonably high hopes that you would be the box store that would change my mind about box stores. I was wrong. You let me down, just like all the others have. It looked impressive from the outside, with your big red balls everywhere and your fancy new face lift, but when [...]

Spring be damned…

The Redneck Princess — Mon, 06 May 2013 03:49:48 +0000

Today on the Island…we bypassed spring. It was 29° at 5pm tonight as I was leaving work. Holy hell in a handbasket…talk about crazy spring weather. Last year I was wearing my long johns well into June. This year, I am being a daredevil and already have some of my annual flowers outside. WHAT??? I [...]

My totally realistic fear of facial hair….

The Redneck Princess — Wed, 01 May 2013 05:49:00 +0000

I encountered a woman the other day, that made my fear worse. Way worse. In fact I have encountered a couple of those women this week. Now what I want to know is this… Do you stop looking in the mirror at some point? Do you need to put your readers on when you are [...]
