Life has been a little busy lately, but I'm here to give you some updates.<br />
<br />
Remember how I went for a huge exam in March? Well <b>I PASSED</b>! I was honestly never so scared in my life to open a piece of mail, but I took a deep breath and ripped it open and there it was.. "we are please to inform you...." blah blah blah. <b>SO HAPPY</b>. This means that I will get back the $900 it cost me to do it, which feels like found money. This also means that I have completed all the requirements to become a licensed pharmacy technician in the province of Ontario! All that's left is some boring paperwork to apply for my license.<br />
<br />
This also happened to coincide with me getting a $2 raise at work. Oddly enough it had nothing to do with me passing the exam but instead was the result of my accumulation of hours.<br />
<br />
I'm still hunting for an apartment which is coming along quite slowly...the good thing is that since I still live at home I don't really have a deadline, although I would like to be out by summers end. I did look at one so far which was supposed to be a basement "apartment" but was really just a basement...with a fridge. lol. Not what I had in mind! I am planning to go see another one hopefully this weekend that looks very promising. I have emailed back and forth with the homeowner a few times, but they were going out of the country and wont be back until this weekend.<br />
<br />
For the Victoria Day weekend I ended up going out partying two nights in a row, which I never do! On the Saturday I actually went to a party with an old friend I haven't seen in awhile. It was out in the country and we camped out in her tent. I haven't slept in a tent since I was a kid! So that was interesting. Then on the Sunday I just hung out with a bunch of coworkers at a bonfire at one guys house. It was really fun and they are a great group of people. This past weekend I went to a stag and doe for a guy from work. I went with 3 other girls from work and had a blast! Some of the girls I hadn't really hung out with before so it was cool to get to know them more. We had lots of drinks and some of them won prizes (not me though) and afterwards we went to the bar. It was really fun and hopefully the 4 of us will do it again sometime soon!<br />
<br />
This morning I went to the eye doctors. I was kinda worried that my eyes had gotten much worse but he said I have really healthy eyes and my script only needed to change very slightly. I can't wait to get new glasses as I have had these ones for about 3 years now and need a change! They are also pretty heavy and I want something lighter. I also plan to get prescription sunglasses which I have never had before. Usually I either: 1. wear sunglasses and don't see as well or 2. Just wear normal glasses and get blinded by the light. So I can't wait!<br />
<br />
So that's what's been happening with me lately...just working a lot, trying to save for moving out ( up to $3276 now) and watching Criminal Minds on DVD (on season 6).<br />

The following is a guest post by Gary P. from LowestRates.ca</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In Canada, there are dozens of credit cards that offer rewards in the form of cashback, travel points, or through the new service Plastiq – <a href="http://www.lowestrates.ca/news/canadians-can-charge-their-taxes-credit-cards-using-plastiq-525">as reported by LowestRates.ca</a> – the chance to pay taxes. There are dozens of potential benefits available by using a rewards credit card, and the opportunity to delay paying money to the government is always a handsome reward.<br />
However, not all credit cards include rewards benefits, and if you’re interested in getting something back for charging your purchases, you should consider acquiring a rewards credit card. Canada’s major banks offer dozens of credit cards and many do carry rewards, but you shouldn’t necessarily stick with your typical bank for a new card. Banks rely on customers who are afraid to take their business to an institution other than their longtime bank, and as a result, people don’t realize that they have other, more affordable options.<br />
Thanks to technology, you can find the best credit card offers from some of Canada’s leading providers. There are now online comparison sites like LowestRates.ca that help you compare various cards, credit limits, rewards, and interest rates all in one place. This way, you save plenty of time finding the right credit card for your unique needs, and translate that saved time into lower payments and higher rewards.<br />
The online comparison is a valuable service because it helps people select the best credit card without outside interference. All too often, people are pressured by banks and creditors into accepting policies and interest rates that the institutions deem fair and affordable, which don’t necessarily reflect the personal needs of the credit card applicant. Credit card comparison sites put the control back in the hands of the applicant, and helps people find the greatest rewards at the lowest cost.<br />
The evolution of technology over time offers Canadians new rewards and benefits for their credit cards. The ability to pay taxes through Plastiq and comparing all credit card offers in one convenient location are the latest in a line of improvements for hard working citizens to live comfortably by paying less money.<br />

<br /></center>
<center>
Day 8:</center>
<center>
A piece of advice you have for others</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I know its going to sound so cliché but my piece of advice is to try to find a job/career you enjoy. Notice I said <b><i>try</i></b> because not everyone does. I have a career that I enjoy, and I feel that I am lucky, because I was only 22 when I had it figured out. Some people go their whole life, and never really find that. You know that saying that goes something like "Find something you love and you will never work a day in your life?" Personally, I think it's exaggerated. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I'll tell you why I love my job. And I'm not going to give some goody two shoes answer like "I love helping people" or "I'm serving my community" or some crap like that. The reason I love my job is that <b><i>it's never boring</i></b>. Even though, it is fairly repetitive in a way, in another way its not at all.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
There is always something to do and new people to meet. We constantly have new students joining our team, working for us for a few months and then they leave, and new ones come in. There's always some crazy customer giving me attitude which makes for a good laugh after the fact. There's always new drugs coming onto the market to learn about. And just when you think you've seen it all, you haven't. It's challenging enough to keep my on my toes, but not so much that I find it difficult. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I'm not saying its all rainbows and butterflies every day. I don't love it every day, all day. It's very stressful, and sometimes I'm just counting down the minutes. But there is usually at least one moment in each day when it hits me that I love it. And there are some days when I realized it's time to go home and I think "already?!" And yeah, sometimes I don't feel like getting out of bed and going to work. But I never <b><i>dread</i></b> it, and sometimes I even look forward to it. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
And the reason why I think it's so important to find a job you love? Simple math.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
You spend most of your waking hours at work. Might as well be spending it somewhere you don't mind being, instead of somewhere you hate. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>

<br /></center>
<center>
Day 5:</center>
<center>
Publicly profess your love for one of your blogger friends.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Ok...so I wouldn't say I have any blogger "friends" per say because I don't really talk to any fellow bloggers on Facebook or anything so I'm just going to pick a blog that I really like. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
So the blog that I pick is...</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
<a href="http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/">Chocolate Covered Katie</a></center>
<center>
If you guys haven't heard of her, well she is pretty awesome. She has a ton of recipes (mostly desserts) and some of them use super healthy ingredients that you would never guess are in it. And the best part is she gives you the nutritional information :D</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I haven't tried that many of her recipes yet but I have made the <a href="http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/05/31/deep-dish-cookie-pie/">Deep Dish Cookie Pie</a>. It turned out amazing! It was super delicious, and I got lots of people to try it without telling them what was in it and everyone liked it and could never guess that it was made with chickpeas! And I don't even LIKE chickpeas!</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Here's a couple more recipes I plan on trying out sometime:</center>
<center>

Day 4</center>
<center>
Favourite quote and why you love it</center>
<center>

<center>
I honestly couldn't say that I have ONE favourite quote because there is just so many good ones out there! So I will show you a few favourites, courtesy of Pinterest of course!</center>

This really resonates with me because I know the feeling. When I went to Portugal last summer it started my love affair with the ocean. I had seen the ocean before when my family went to Nova Scotia when I was 14 but not like this. There I was on a tiny little island (the whole population of it about the same as my current city) completely surrounded by ocean. No matter where you were on the island, you could see the ocean if you were up high enough, and if you couldn't see if you could most certainly smell it. I will never forget stepping off the plane and smelling that fresh ocean air. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced before and I wish I could just bottle up that scent and keep it with me always....</div>

I believe this is true. I think some people were meant to be in your life to help shape you but they are not necessarily good for you. I definitely had a person like this in my life throughout high school/college and beyond...up until I was about 21, and yes it was a boy. I didn't talk to him for years, but we're cool now. I have him on Facebook but we don't really talk and I haven't seen him in person for years and I don't intend to.</div>

I have to admit that I do constantly compare myself to others, wondering why don't I have this or why can't I be as pretty as her? Having this mentality of not comparing myself to others is something that I strive for, but it really is a constant battle. </div>

Day 2:</center>
<center>
Educate us on something you know alot about, or are good at.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Ok here goes</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
How to Piss-off Your Pharmacy Staff Member:</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
1. Start telling me your life story on the phone and ramble on for 5 minutes before I can get a word in edgewise to ask who the hell you are. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
2. When I ask you what you need to order say "everything"</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
3. Wait until the last minute to order you medication and when I ask you when you would like to pick it up say "right now!"</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
4. Forget to mention you have insurance and show me your card at the cash register, because it just works like a credit card doesn't it?!</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
And probably my favourite one:</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
5. Expect special treatment because you're an employee!</center>
<center>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><b>The story of your life in 250 words or less </b></span></center>

I was born in a city but grew up in a very small town of only a few thousand people because my parents "didn't want to raise kids in the city." Although I have come to appreciate my country roots upbringing, as an adult I have very strong (negative) feelings about growing up in that type of town. </center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
I'm a fairly happy-go-lucky sort. I'm always laughing. I laugh when something is funny, when I'm nervous or when I don't really know how to respond to something. I have a job that I really enjoy, and it's not what I went to school for. And that's ok.. But it is my career and I couldn't see myself doing anything else. As I get older I am realizing that I might not be the settle-down-get-married-and-have-kids type of girl. And that's ok too, because I'm learning to live on my own terms and nobody else's.</center>

Here is another post of random updates on what is going on in my life!<br />
<br />
So I signed up for a 5k run...because apparently I have a death wish. Just kidding, its the ColorMeRad 5k!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not a super serious thing, and nobody times you or anything. I'll let you in on a little secret (and I'm totally 100% NOT ashamed of this). I'm one of those people that will sometimes just do something for the sake of being able to say I did it. This was one of those things. My friend told me that she and some of her friends were signed up and suggested I join their team. I checked out the website and thought to myself "Ain't no way I'm missing out on this!" and promptly signed myself up. It was $50 and it goes towards the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. It actually looks like and I encourage you to sign up if it is coming to a city near you!<br />
<br />
I got my hair cut...<br />
<br />
While I was drunk.<br />
<br />
A friend of mine had a hair stylist come to her house and invited me over for us both to get our hair done and have a little girls night. Which is how I found myself drunk at 7PM on a weeknight, getting my hair cut. Luckily it turned out just fine and was the cheapest hair cut I've ever gotten!<br />
<br />
Last night I watched Zero Dark Thirty. I found it to be a bit slow moving and a lot of times I felt lost. But it was one of those movies I just had to see. Afterwards I didn't really have any strong feelings about it. I didn't NOT like it, but I wouldn't say I really liked it either....it was just kind of like "hmmm so thats how it went down..ok".<br />
<br />
Speaking of movies, I've got a date with my boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio on May 10th!!!<br />
<br />

Also...have you seen previews for that movie called <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2184339/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">The Purge</a>?! It looks super creepy. I'm not going to post the trailer because it's rated R and I'm afraid it will break some blogger rules or something. It reminds me of the Hunger Games a little bit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other day I went to check out Target. My first impression was that it's just like a Walmart only a slightly higher quality and therefore a little more expensive. Which is fine with me because if I wanted Walmart pricing I would just go to Walmart. They had a lot of nice clothes but what really struck me was the home section. REALLY nice stuff in there. I even saw the <a href="http://www.champagnelifestyleblog.com/2013/04/fab-find-friday.html">x-bench </a>that Hannah mentioned in her blog, but not at the clearance price that she got them for, I think they were around $50 each. They are so gorgeous. I was really disappointed though, because the entire Sonia Kashuk section was totally empty. They had some brushes and that was it. I had heard that some stores didn't have everything in stock yet because it was only a "soft opening", but I am fairly certain they already had the "grand opening" so it's really not acceptable in my opinion. </div>

I've stumbled across this link up called <a href="http://storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.ca/2013/04/blog-every-day-in-may-challenge.html?showComment=1367007105412">Blog Every Day in May</a>. I found it on <a href="http://www.amillionlittlesomethings.com/">this blog</a>. The writing prompts look interesting so I think I am going to join up. I can't promise to do every single one, but I'm going to try to do most of them :) I hope some of you guys will do it too! </div>

<br />
- I met a boy. It happened when a bunch of us from work went out to the bar on easter weekend. I went to say hello to one of the guys from work and he had brought his friend along. I ended up hitting it off with his friend. There was a lot of dancing and doing shots and general shenanigans. I hadn't had a night out like that in a long time, so it was super fun and really quite what I needed. So far since then we have gone on 2 dates and right now he's on vacation so I haven't seen him recently. I'm not sure where it is going but I do anticipate seeing him again when he is back from vacation.<br />
<br />
- I had to buy 2 new all season tires for my car. This was an unexpected expense which kinda bummed me out, but I realized that these things happen from time to time and there is not much to be done about it. And luckily I have an emergency fund for these purposes. And hey, at least I didn't need 4 tires right?<br />
<br />
- I've been checking kijiji like a mofo for apartments. So far there was 2 that sounded good that I have contacted the landlords about. One I think I've basically ruled out mostly because of the fact that it's $850 plus internet which I feel is too much over my budget, and it's on the complete opposite side of town. Apartment number 2 looks super nice in pictures...it's a ground level basement which is great, and it has a double sided fireplace and from the one picture it looks like built in shelving in the living area. This one is listed for $925 (including EVERYTHING) which is over my budget but they said they might consider lowering it for the right person and it's in the area of town I like. But it's a retired couple which is of slight concern. I will probably email back to see about going to look at it, and see where that leads. It is still slightly early to be finding places for a june/july move in date so I am not too worried yet.<br />
<br />
- So far I have $1986 saved for the move-out.<br />
<br />
- I need to go to the dentist and also get my eyes tested and get new glasses. I have been putting it off mostly because of the cost, and now especially since I had to get new tires. It seems all these things happen at once eh? But it really needs to be done. I haven't gone to the dentist in a long time, and I haven't had my eyes tested since 2010 and sometimes after working 8 hours my vision starts to blur a little.<br />
<br />
- I got invited to a gala this coming weekend with some other pharmacy people I know, so I will basically get to dress up and get free dinner, drinks and a concert. I'm so down for that!<br />
<br />
- I got my car insurance renewal statement and it's going down again by $13 per month!<br />
<br />
- I can't wait for the warm weather to be here permanently so I can start wearing my cute shoes and my mint jeans and hopefully be more motivated to go running more often. Speaking of exercise, I did return to hot yoga finally for the first time since before Christmas. I just about died. But afterwards I felt so good, which was no surprise!<br />

<br />
So...I was supposed to be planning this all week finding the most perfect pins and then I totally forgot about it, so I'm just winging it here. I feel bad that for the last 3 weeks I've been posting nothing but Sunday Socials! I promise to give you guys a life update soon.<br />
<br />
1. Favourite outfit pin<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is nothing special but typical of something I would wear on a nice spring day. I love a good pair of jeans with a striped top and my brown boots and always like to add a pop of colour with a scarf!</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

3. Favourite wedding pin<br />
Ok so I honestly never pin wedding stuff because I'm not planning on getting married anytime soon (if ever) but I do adore this dress as I have always liked those that are a tad old fashioned with lace and not stark white. I could see myself in a dress like this<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The main reason that I am planning to move out is simple: it's time. Im 26 years old, with no debt to speak of and<i><b> finally</b></i> in a position financially where I feel that I can be comfortable on my own. Also I have a more personal reason, being that as I get older I find myself increasingly more aware of my parents relationship, how they treat each other and how they live in general. I believe it affects me in a negative way, in how I view relationships and marriage. I hope that by being on my own I can escape their influence and be happy in a relationship someday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So anyways, my plan is to move out by the beginning of June or July. I'm lucky in the sense that I don't have a deadline because I don't have a current lease that is ending or anything so I don't have to rush. I can take my time to find the perfect place. I am leaning towards a basement apartment because a lot of those tend to have everything included in the rent. With an actual apartment in an apartment building, you sometimes have to pay a utility on top of the rent, not to mention cable/internet/phone. Speaking of phone, one thing someone mentioned that I hadn't thought of, was to make sure I get reception on my cell phone if I am not planing on getting a land line. Good point!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I check Kijiji almost every day, to get an idea of whats out there. Even though everything that's out there right now is going to rent either immediately or next month, I just like to see what I can get for my money and also by checking regularly, I will be able to recognize the places that are always available (aka nobody wants them). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In terms of price what I am hoping to find is a 1 bedroom basement apartment for $800-$850 per month including everything (utilities/cable/internet/parking/laundry etc). In my city, it is definitely possible. I have already seen a few places that fit the bill, but the landlords needed them rented right away. I could <i><b>maybe</b></i> go up to $900 if it's a place I <b><i>really really</i></b> love. But I am hoping for $850 max. I have already starting savings for the move. I am confident I can save about $3000 to $4000 savings for this to use for first and last months rent, and buying whatever furnishings I need. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am planing to buy as many things used as possible! Im going to be checking thrift stores and kijiji regularly and as soon as the nice weather starts, garage sales too. The one thing that I am planing to splurge on (meaning buying it new or almost new) is a sectional. I have a specific look in mind that I want and that's going to be my splurge. Also I might buy a tv new, if I can find a really good sale. Everything else I hope to get used or super cheap new. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a list I've made of what I will need:</span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>kitchen:</i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-end tables</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 22px;">

<div style="min-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Misc:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-cleaning and laundry supplies</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-laundry bin</span><br />
<div style="font-size: 18px; min-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; min-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also hope to get a large bookshelf (think those big ikea ones) and a chaise lounge chair to make a little reading area, if I have space. It's not a need but a want. I'm sure I've forgotten a lot, if you guys think of more ideas or just any tips in general let me know!</span></div>

<div a="" href=" http://www.thevintageapple.com/" target="_blank">
Hope everyone has been having a good week. So far for me it's been fairly uneventful and I'm starting to get stressed out due to a huuuge exam I have coming up in a couple weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways regarding my post title...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week I was filing my taxes and it came time to pay the fee for UFile. I thought to myself "hmmm I'm going to Google some coupon codes", and I did just that. I ended up finding a link through Smart Canucks that got me $5 off, and then I found a code that was for 25% off. So by clicking through that link and then using the code it was only $9.28 taxes in as opposed to the regular price of $15.95 plus tax! Awesome!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then today I stopped by Shoppers Drug Mart on my way home from work to get some more face toner as mine had run out. My usual Marcelle toner is about $14.25 for a 200mL bottle. For some reason they had some "special offer" bottles of 400mL for only $14.99. I scooped that up pretty quick and then on the way to the cash, they had a clearance bin that said $5 and it was all high end hair products. I ended up picking up Oscar Blandi dry shampoo for $5!! I have actually used it before and I love it so I was really excited to see it in there. I'm debating going back for more..</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This past weekend I tried this<a href="http://bestlife4moms.weebly.com/5/post/2012/04/cheesy-broccoli-chicken-foil-packs.html"> recipe</a> I found on Pinterest. I omitted the stuffing and added potatoes and yellow pepper. It turned out amazing!! So tender and the pepper added that little kick of sweetness. I made a bunch more today as well! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also made some banana bread and these <a href="http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2013/01/03/skinny-strawberry-chocolate-chip-muffins/">muffins</a>, and these <a href="http://www.theidearoom.net/2012/01/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies.html">cookies</a>.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The banana bread was quite bland I'm afraid, but the muffins were ok, and the cookies were fantastic! Here's a little baking secret I learned from Pinterest (of course).</span></div>

That's right. Marshmallows in my brown sugar. It keeps it from going hard! I had tried buying one of those little clay disks from the bulk store but it didn't seem to work for me. I've had these in there for awhile now and its still soft. </div>

Those jeans are Seven for all Mankind ($29.99!!). I was actually looking for mint jeans for the summer and this brand fits so well! Then I got that striped top which was on sale for $19. The little cuff part on the sleeve there is actually almost like a leather material which is what drew me to it, because its got the two different textures.</div>

And the biggest news of today is that I have paid off my car!! WOOHOO. This means I am completely debt free right now. And I plan to stay that way until I can buy a house, which wont be for a few years still. It feels so good knowing that you don't owe anything to anybody. Tonight I'm going to a nearby town to visit my friend and go out for dinner. We haven't seen each other for a few months so it will be nice to see her and her little girls, and it will be a celebratory dinner for myself, so I can't wait!</div>

Some of you may have noticed that my favourite tv show of the moment is Castle. The lead female character is Kate Beckett of the NYPD. She's a super sassy detective with some kick-ass style. She is kind of known for her coats, which are mostly Burberry. There is a website dedicated to the fashion on Castle (ok mostly her fashion) so thats how I found that out. I thought I would post some of my favourite pieces....you will see how I've come to be a huge Burberry fan. </div>

Basically according to HRSDC a "electronic storage device" containing information regarding various student loan borrowers from the years 2000-2006 was misplaced. According to<a href="http://www.canlearn.ca/eng/main/spotlighton/privacy/index.shtml"> this site</a>, they sent out letters to everyone who was affected to let them know what happened and what steps they should take. I did not receive a letter so I thought I would call the toll free number. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I spoke to a very nice lady who confirmed that I was indeed affected and I gave her my current address to resend the letter. The government has arranged with Equifax to set up extra protection for all those that were affected, free of charge for 6 years. Basically it just says that if you are trying to get another loan you will have to take a few extra steps to verify your identity. So I figured I might as well sign up for it so she said she would forward my info to Equifax and they would send me a letter to confirm that the extra protection was set up for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But now I'm starting to wonder if I should of done that. I told my mom and she kinda freaked out on me saying I shouldn't have done that because now if I need to get a loan for something they are going to give me a huge hassle. I don't really plan on getting any other loans in the next 6 years unless its a mortgage (which is a big deal) so I'm kinda worried now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once I get this letter from Equifax I'm going to call them to get more information regarding what these "extra steps" would be that I would have to go through to get another loan in the future. I hope this wasn't a mistake :( Ugh. </span>hklover86http://www.blogger.com/profile/16911796044202886297noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99735221268083108.post-1487034842682311772013-02-20T07:00:00.000-05:002013-02-20T07:00:05.389-05:00Oh How Pinteresting Wednesday<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This weekend is a long weekend in Ontario and some other Canadian provinces because today is Family Day. Unfortunately it wasn't really a "long weekend" for me because I still had to work Saturday. But I did get yesterday and today off (work is closed today). So having 2 days off <i><b>in a row</b></i> is like a vacation in itself for someone with a schedule like mine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday was one of the most busiest most annoying days I have ever worked. It was crazy busy and it seemed that every crazy, rude and annoying customer we have came on that day. Needless to say I could not wait to go home. On the way home I stopped at the LCBO and picked up this little treat:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirw4bZaxQkx3MG_ShrakdKPTds1_DWfnsXazzr2sEXSA2oNqt4XIHyaniE7kAClOKjaXE2fPeGk8CBHJ7TUXCCa5ZWw7Qtr6niAb_PL4EbgojcswxzIL59bBjHthUkQfYqPFK_kmdpb_w/s1600/581269_10152596853965077_1183489991_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirw4bZaxQkx3MG_ShrakdKPTds1_DWfnsXazzr2sEXSA2oNqt4XIHyaniE7kAClOKjaXE2fPeGk8CBHJ7TUXCCa5ZWw7Qtr6niAb_PL4EbgojcswxzIL59bBjHthUkQfYqPFK_kmdpb_w/s320/581269_10152596853965077_1183489991_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had plans to watch Argo with some co-workers and picked this up to bring with me, since I could of used a drink after my awful day. I had heard quite a bit about this wine, various people on facebook have mentioned it and all good things. Newsflash: it tastes like</span><i style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> crap.</span> </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyways, we watched Argo and loved it. It is definitely one of the best movies I've seen in awhile and I can see why it has been nominated for so many Oscars. I thought it would be hard to understand like many political-type movies are for me but it wasn't at all. It was great. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other than that I haven't really done anything too exciting this weekend. Pretty much lazed around reading books and watching my Criminal Minds on DVD and last night met up with a friend for a drink. After working so much lately, this taking-it-easy type of weekend is exactly the kind of weekend I needed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh and this past week I receieved my $25 Walmart gift card in the mail from Tellwut. It came very fast so I'm pretty impressed. I'm going to save it for when I move out, for groceries. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the best part of today is my favourite show Castle is airing the 1st of a 2 part episode that's going to be super intense. I've seen some previews online and it looks to be an edge-of-your-seat type of episode. I can't wait for 10PM :)</span></div>
