Handshakes are too formal...

me and my munchkins - nieces & nephew, not kids. yikes.
Although I think I have a pretty good handshake, I always hated how awkward and formal shaking the hand of someone you just met is. I prefer to have an informal meeting over coffee or a glass of red. But since we can't get to know each other over a glass of wine, we'll have to make do with the internet machine's method.

My names Lindsey Elizabeth, or just Lindsey, Linds, or Smurf (a classmate declared that my nickname due to my lack of height). I was born and raised on a lovely little island known as Cape Breton and currently live in the little-big city of Halifax.

I love both of these places more than any other place I've ever been. Cape Breton has enough scenic beauty to overload Instagram and the kindest, friendliest people you'll ever meet. My new location, Halifax, is ideal for the 20 something's like myself. It's filled with music and nightlife, tons of delicious local eateries and a beautiful Waterfront that I spend way too much time on. If I could somehow live in the two places at once, I would.

How I enjoy wasting time:
  • Cooking, going to dinner, visiting the market - I love all things food, (I even sometimes sneak a peak into strangers' carts in the grocery store to see what they're buying). And yes, I realize how weird that is.
  • I also love music- especially if it's live. I constantly tell people that my occupation is "Professional Concert Goer". I'll also spend hours trying to figure out the name of a song that I've only heard 4 words of. Waste. Of. Time.
  • I adore my family. I know, everyone does (or should). But there are few things I would rather do than go shopping with my mom, be sarcastic with my dad, or chase my nieces and nephew around the house (although the last one tends to get tiring).
  • Recently I've been wasting time by doing yoga. I say it's a waste of time because I am quite confident that I'm doing it incorrectly. I know this because I often catch my neighbours watching and laughing when I forgot to close the curtains.

The list could go on for days (I waste loads of time), but for now, I'll digress. There are a couple of other things I think readers should know about waste time...not wine and Lindsey Elizabeth.
I'm very sarcastic and feisty. Expect that when reading. My opinions will most definitely be voiced and I urge you to do the same! Finally, I've been contemplating starting a blog for years, so there's a lot I want to talk about. One day could be about fashion, the next might be a rant about how ridiculous the latest Miley Cyrus video is (but let's be honest, they can't possibly get any weirder). So variety will definitely be a theme here at waste time...not wine.

Looking forward to wasting lots of time here!

What I Found in The Depths of the Internet

I work an office job. Luckily, that office job is in the marketing and promotions department, so I'm not constantly tied to my desk. BUT there are days that I spend, like, 6 hours in a row on my computer. Aside from poor posture, this also gives me the opportunity to search the web and waste time discovering cool things like recipes and home decor and new bands!!! Usually when I find a new thing  that I love, I annoy the crap out of my boyfriend or my iPhone group chat with details about said thing. So instead, why not plop them here? Here are 5 things that I've found while I should've been working: 1.  couchseats.com This website is kind of like Pinterest - but for music. You can totally get lost in a deep, deep hole of clicking and listening. If you're a music lover this is absolutely going to be your best friend. It features endless videos of live music from super well-known artists like Dave Grohl and Ed Sheeran, to more indie musicians like We Are Twin. You...

What Re-Watching The Office Taught Me About Love at 27

When Michael Scott was making everyone cringe and giggle in 2005, I wasn’t paying a whole lot of attention to show The Office . It wasn’t until I re-watched it at 27 years old that I realized how many lessons it was teaching me. This show is somehow constantly relevant. It’s been off-air for a couple of years, but the memes and Tweets about it are still constant. People are always re-binging it. That’s the sign of a great sitcom.   The comedy has taught me more about love - and all the different versions of love - than any other form of media in my life. While Pam and Jim are a big part of it, I even learned from Dunder Mifflin’s hilariously-inappropriate manager. But we’ll start with the obvious… 1. Friendship first Pam and Jim have a love story that started out as a friendship and there’s no better way to fall in love. Falling for someone who is honestly your best friend is scary, exciting and just downright weird. It comes with a lot of risks, but if it works, it’...

I definitely didn't cry while writing this piece about The Tragically Hip...

The Tragically Hip - Man Machine Poem Day 3 in Toronto, ON Armed with will and determination...and grace, too. Gord Downie, lead of The Tragically Hip, embodies that line from the song Grace, Too. Those words have never been felt deeper than they were these last few weeks as the band takes the stage in multiple cities across Canada for what has been deemed their farewell tour. In May, the band released a statement letting their adoring fans know that frontman Gord Downie - a Canadian treasure on the same level (or above) as icons like Don Cherry and Wayne Gretzky - was suffering from terminal brain cancer. The news hit Canadians hard. But the love for The Hip was never more evident as tickets to their Man Machine Poem tour (named after their most recent album which dropped in June) sold out in no time. Fans of the band wanted nothing more than to be alongside Gord and his band during these difficult times and to experience an incredible performance by them just one more ti...
