Trying something New

Christmas Party Last Night

2006-12-03T10:04:00.000-05:00

Ok I know it's been a while since my last post I am bad for that although I think it's because nothing very exciting happends in my life. Anyway was my work christmas party last night. Went had fun .. Evening started out with a lady I used to work with telling me that I must get my picture taken... Single girl hell. What the f**k am I going to do with a picture of myself ? But did it. See picture. Had fun, danced all night. feet killing me, good times , good friends. It was nice. They also took a picture of the team I work with I will post that one when I get it .

That is about it. I am off to my cookie exchange today feeling alright will probably crash and burn later in the day as is customary.

Nothing else really new with me. Christmas is coming and that is alright . I am going to decorate a little around the house which should be good. get the spirit I guess. Hope everyone is getting ready for the festive season. Last night was my first holiday party but am looking forward to a few more.

What's Up

2006-11-06T22:31:00.000-05:00

Ok so nothing really. Had Sherry's B-day party the other week was a super fabulous time. Getting ready for the holidays .

working like a dog.. all the usual stuff. I am working this week and then i am off for a whole week with no specific plans it should be heaven. I am going to get some stuff done around the house maybe take some day trips and mostly sleep and relax and not check my laptop at all. Not once. that is my goal.

That is it. Also getting ready for Christmas cookie exchange. perhaps I shall even have a holiday cocktail party or something who knows. I have to get rid of all the cookies anyway.

The Perfect Wedding

2006-10-22T13:25:00.000-04:00

I know it's been awhile I went to Jen & Dave's wedding on October 7th. It was a gorgeous day and the weather was fantastic. The Groom and his groomsmen came in a tractors it was so sweet. And Jen looked like an absolute princess. It was so nice. I am sorry it took so long to post this we had a great time we had an awful hotel room but was an experience we shall never forget, there was no heat. Alexis had to deal with the beeping of my phone all night. But couldn't do anything about it, cause it was to cold to get out of bed. However, during ceremony Alexis' phone rang . It was hallarious. Mucho embarassing but Bride and Groom didn't notice .

I wore fake hair and rocked it.!!!

Please check out Sherry's space for pictures was a ton of fun.

Congratulations to Jen and Dave !!!!!!!

Been awhile

2006-09-30T20:28:00.000-04:00

Hello,

I know it's been awhile since my last post. News there is some. I have put my escape plans on hold for awhile. I will fill each of you in when I see you. But took the house off the market and am chillin for awhile.

Other news ... I avoided and then witnessed a very bad car accident on Friday everyone is alright, was more than my little head could take though and rattled me a lot. I got out of the way of a very dangerous driver, and he hit the guy in front of me hard... rest of the story is gross, needless to say everyone is going to live, and that makes me feel better. I am not nervous to drive I feel I did well on the driving aspect of it.. However, my thoughts go more to it could have been me..

Even more news.... Ok I have none it's Saturday night at 8.30 pm and i am at home alone.

My parents came over last night to go to a party.. then came here to spend the night talk about turning the tables. Me sitting at home waiting for them to come home on a Friday night. :) they had fun though and that is good.

My thought for the day... why do I feel the need to sleep all day , and then stay up and watch crappy movies all night? Or worse and yes I am an offender. watch crappy A&E shows or Much More Music ... Back In... True Hollywood Story..... and now my new obsession.... get ready TVLAND is showing reruns of 21 Jump Street. Hello super hot Johnny Depp... it's different than when you watched it the first time around... the odd time they show him in his cop uniform I used to think that was so uncool... Not so much now :)

Book Club tomorrow which is good we are doing appetizers and deserts for our theme , so I am going to make brie in filo pastry, which will entail me turning on my stove and it's been a while. so I think that is good. And apparently have to glam up a bit because we are having an official book club photo taken.. How nice... It will definitely be displayed in the house.

Ok back to my hideous TV habits. So I am here typing an entry into my blog and watching the True Hollywood story on Latoya Jackson someone come over and slap me immediately.. WTF? Who is she except for the sister of famous people. .and before anyone starts yes I just got through the part of her Playboy layouts but once again only got that cause of her siblings stardom... does she really merit a whole hour worth of my life?... I think not.. but somehow I can not change the chanel.

Ok that is it for the night... I hope you all are having a good weekend... and will touch base with you all soon.

When Sisters Phone Stalk

2006-09-16T13:37:00.000-04:00

So was at Play with Book Club ladies the other night .. Was funny play and we all had great time. Now as in any play and movie theatre. They ask you to shut off your phones .. I myself have the crappiest loaner phone until such time that mine comes back from repair. So it's literally falling apart and the on/off switch isn't working that well. I figure I can silence phone.

Apparently I am phone retarded as the phone started ringing I silence it, then it starts agian, the thing won't stop. And Susan practicing very well I might add at becoming a mom... whispers hissing like shut it off. I replied I can not she replied sit on it.

When I finally got into my car and called this number it was my sister Erin. We laughed as to why she kept calling me. It was just a lovely sister call and it was nice. But she still phone stalked me while I was in a play. :)

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Double Gin & Tonics & Tequila

2006-09-10T09:08:00.000-04:00

Oh yeah. The night starts out at Amanda's (Birthday girl) then we move on the Karoke bus (super fun times) then to schmooze... Where Mo and I partake in 2.50 drinks in supreme style by double gin and tonics (in the short glass I might add) and tequila shots all night. I am now two hours from having to be at the airport look, smell like the night before... No headache yet I am sure it will come.

Happy birthday Amanda.. Was one of the best nights I have had in a while. Her friends took pics they will be posted when I recieve...

Am off to Montreal... thanks all for great times.

Who is the best at scaring children?

2006-09-09T12:07:00.000-04:00

Ok I even laughed at this one... enjoy friends

As most of you know my house is up for lease. Anyway it's Saturday morning and I was sleeping on my couch in the basement. (yes I often sleep there ) anyway here is how it played out.. I guess real estate agent rang bell however I did not wake up (for some of you this will come as no surprise I can sleep through anything) Anyway... i guess they looked around upstairs it was couple with young daughter... then they came downstairs daughter first... i woke up when little girl was standing right in front of me... I screamed so loud, she instantly began to sob, mom is downstairs comforting child. I feel badly... anyway they left after that, and i don't think they want the house. :)

So I did not laugh when they were here but I laughed so freaking hard when they left it wasn't even funny...

I am going to schmooze tonight for Amanda's birthday should be very fun times was there last weekend too. Then off to Montreal tomorrow afternoon... will try to post if anything exciting happends while I am away.

Golfing Today

2006-09-07T21:39:00.000-04:00

So went golfing in a tournament today was a lot of fun. Had a good time didn't win anything, we got some giveaways but didn't win any prizes that were good it was a shame. But other than that had a great time, it was best ball so pressure wasn't on.. I hit a few good ones.

I am back at work tomorrow and then off to Montreal for training the following week, which I am half looking forward to and half not, as I am not looking forward to sitting in a classroom for five days but I am looking forward to having the training.

I missed Big Brother due to golfing so waiting to catch it on the west feed which should be good.

Other than that I am just chilling tonight...

Pics are in

2006-09-04T22:28:00.000-04:00

Just like to say thanks to Sherry for sending the pics so these are the ones from Friday night. We had a blast....

First one Sherry, Alexis, Julia and Arnelle. Second one. Alexis, Karen, Julia, Sherry, and Arnelle.

We had great time and this weekend was fun. Last night spent in the shwa went old school with old high school friends was fun seeing everyone again, and had a good time. Saw my sisters and my parents we went to the Ex today had great time.

Long Weekend

2006-09-03T10:41:00.000-04:00

The long weekend so far, well Lex, Sherry, Arnelle, Karen and myself went out to Easy & the fifth on Friday night we had super fun times. Pictures to be posted shortly thanks to Sherry. We had great time. Lots of dancing.. and lots of drinking except for Lex who was our DD. Thanks Lex.!!!!!!

I also heard the funniest thing in my whole life this weekend. The fact that Lex was willing to "throw down" for her friends. Well Lex at least it's good to know that you have your friends backs. :)

Saturday night, Sherry and i went to schmooze this time it's my turn to be DD. We get there , and having fun dancing Sherry drinking. We are standing there and Sherry starts talking to a guy.. Good job Sherry and like a true wing man he brings his friend over to meet me, we do the hello my name is ... then we look at each other ... And yup I know him went to highschool with him. This starts a night of super fun times.. as we hang with Charles and Shannon who I went to highschool with, in the Shwa. Sherry was very impressed to meet peeps from the old days. And we closed the place down. Or as Sherry says people who knew me "when I was fun".

So now it's 10:40 am and good thing I am a fast typer as they are showing the house so I have to get my ass out. I am off to see the family today and due to running into old friends I believe I will be hitting a bar in the Shwa tonight to catch up. I am going to spending the night there. And then heading to the EX tomorrow with Mom and Sister, and Mike hopefully won't be raining anymore..

Hope everyone else is enjoying the long weekend !!!!

What to do when you live on your own and faced with Spider?

2006-08-30T22:22:00.000-04:00

Hello Friends,

Yes it's official I have killed my first spider on my own. I am not going to pretend like I didn't jump across the room, and scream like a child , and wonder if I could live in the corner until such time that the spider died a slow death , all the while never moving. It was the biggest spider I have ever seen. Ok I am exagerating but it was large.

But as I was debating my life crunched on the floor shaking.. I started to think of the inevitable .. the sleep that I would surely succomb to, and then waking up and having the very large scary spider not being where it was when I fell asleep. What to do you ask ? I have no idea to get to the phone I must cross the spiders path. At which time I am sure that it will jump and attach itself to my leg or some other equally devestating form of spider attack which will surely result in some sort of fainting spell.

I see a flip flop between myself and the spider (please refer to slob post) and although the spider is large I am pretty sure that the flip flop will win. But there is a problem I have to get close enough to the spider in order to destroy it and prevent it from spawning any more of it's kind. And then what if I miss and the spider makes a mad dash. and dissapears. I know I will never be comfortable in my own home again.

I debate my move knowing I have to make one. I start to stare down the spider .. I am bigger and stronger and if I arm myself with flip flop I have weapon. I feel my courage building, just then the spider moves. It's getting restless it doesn't like it's place on my wall it wants more. It wants to build a web of some kind or maybe crawl into my ear when I am sleeping and lay eggs. ( I am aware it's an urban legend people I am just saying we all think it). It doesn't move much just getting comfortable I am now convinced that this is spider has waivered under my stare. That is knows I am coming for him. He blinked first. Once again I feel my courage building......

I make slow movements towards the flip flop I arm myself with paper towel. (as there will be a dead spider that must be disposed of when this war is over). I grab the flip flop lose my courage and head back to my spot. I am now armed with flip flop and paper towel and begin the stare down again. Waiting for the spider to spontaneously combust save us both the pain and trouble, but oh no the huge bastard moves again... I have him now, he is antsy ...

I stand up to my full height, square my shoulders. (laugh away I am small person but to a spider? Come on I am a freakin giant ...) I walk over I pull the arm with my sword shaped as a flip flop back as I want to this in one shot I don't want any little flicks or jerks or some half crippled spider walking around. I swat the spider ... smooch and twist the flip flop on it. I remove the flip flop a ball of what used to be spider falls to the floor. But as I am sure you all know he may not be dead ... eight legs may pop out at any moment and may start making movements. They are freaky that way.. I quickly take the paper towel pick up the ball. Yes I admit it I start making funny noises half screams half cries as I run up to the bathroom quickly throw the paper towel into the toilet (it's the only way to know they won't crawl out of the garbage and seek their revenge), and flush... it's gone but I flush again anyway..

I win spider so kiss my ass.... now you ask time elapsed between yours truly spotting spider , having mini meltdown and death and disposal of killer Arachnid? 36 minutes...

Thought I would share as these are what these damn blogs are for...

Pictures from my Birthday

2006-08-29T05:22:00.000-04:00

Well these are some of the pics .. First one of me and Lex at the End of the night. Second one is Darren rocking it out.. ( shout out to Darren for passing out with me in Sherry's car) Third pic is once again me and Lex, during the night. Last pic the group Dean, Shelley, Alexis, Sherry & Julia... and before anyone asks I don't know why I am looking in a different direction then everyone else.

Would like to recap the evening was in July but my sisters Erin and Karen came out which was nice , all the way from the shwa.... Sandhya... and my book club pals Bev & Jess came for some bevvies at my place before the bar.. Amanda and Roomate Christine met us at Schmooze.

So peeps met up at my place prior to bar, and yes I got drunk before I even left. I got wonderful presents and cards from my super fabulous friends. So thought I would post this and say thanks all for a great time.

Update

2006-08-28T18:49:00.000-04:00

Hello,

sorry it's been so long already since my last post... Had nice relaxing weekend. Have a whole lot of work to do this week. In fact it's a little on the crazy side so I thought I would post this before I whip out my laptop and start working tonight..

Hope the bookclub had a good meeting without me.. Katherine congrats on the new place ...

Have some pics from my birthday party which I will post in the next few days.

Feeling much better

2006-08-22T20:58:00.000-04:00

Well today was a good day I felt much better, seems I have beaten whatever bug bite me.. It's 9pm I have yet to take any sort of nap today so I am hoping that I will be back on track in the am.

Nothing else much new... didn't go to work today had it booked off, bought the candles I love. Am just putting in a load of laundry.. I would like to say that if any of you ever hear me say the words I have no clothes again. Know I am lying... and that I do not need any more clothes... It seems like it's never ending, also I think that at a certain point you can actually have too many.. Once again the purge has begun..

That is it my friends. I am going to watch Big Brother and chill out.

Oh P.S. Please note the above statement about shopping only applies to clothes... and NOT shoes.. As we all know we can never have to many of them :)

I did not fix sleeping habits

2006-08-21T02:01:00.000-04:00

Ok well third post . On third day so far so good right? Except once again it's 2 am and i am awake. I managed to get the place clean to be shown. but I took like a 4 hour nap today.. I was tired in all fairness to myself. And plus cell phone is busted I use it as my alarm clock. So now I don't know what to do... so I figure I will post.

I stayed home all weekend. Cleaning and recovering from flu. I was alone and I liked it. Cell phone is dead had very little contact with the outside world, and I enjoyed it... I also now know how one can become a recluse. In fact it's a lifestyle I wouldn't mind living at all. Just staying in not worrying about people I even ordered food online as I didn't want to have to speak to anyone on the phone. ( I love ordering online , i do it all the time) but this was special. Went out for a quick dinner once. that is it, other than that I have barely left my house since Tuesday except to go to the doctors. LOVE IT. Tomorrow I will face the music and the people. I am feeling somewhat better and it's time to get back to reality. I do however have Tuesday booked off..

So that is it... I am done... this is my post for the day.. I am going to try to get a few more hours sleep however I think it's pointless my whole clock is backwards, one very long day should fix it all up no problem.

Cleaning ... I am not a cleaner

2006-08-19T17:11:00.000-04:00

Alright I thought I would name this one second post but that would get boring fast... SO I have named it for my experience today.. I am cleaning.. I hate cleaning. It's really not me.. in fact absolutely anything else seems more appealing to me right now and lets be honest always. I am a slob.. I dont' know why I try not to be... ok I am lying I don't try not to be.. I am a slob and I embrace it. But as previously posted they are going to be bringing potential tenants in here to look at the place and it has to look like they want to live here so today and tomorrow these will be my days cleaning ....

Ok next I am trying not to "nap" etc today I am feeling much better have a bit of a cough but other than that I am feeling much better. So trying desperately to get my sleeping habits back on track. I am going out for food so have actually showered proper and am about to apply makeup which has not touched my face for days. All very exciting....

Ok that is my post... how often can one post to ones' blog? I wonder can I do multiple posts in a day.. ? Can I write my campy poetry on my blog? As it has graced all my other friends blog.. you know it's coming friends just have to have to mood strike me..

I am sure most of you have wonderful Saturday nights planned enjoy them. Think of me doing laundry and vacuuming, as well as making sure everything is in it's "place" even the shit I have resisted findind a place for will be placed.

My First Post

2006-08-19T01:50:00.000-04:00

Ok... Well this is it my first post, and although many of you have been telling me to do it forever. I have now just started.. As most of you will know I am starting what I would definitely call new chapter/adventure etc. So I thought I would start now and just get it up and running as I am sure that for whatever reason my freaky friends will check this as regularly as I check theirs.

Let me give my first shout out to Darren who sent me the link to get it going... who also happends to be a hero this evening ... and yes Darren they should give awards for that. :)

Ok next on my list of things to do on my first post... Lets recap my week. I have been sick as a dog... went for my second Doctors visit today and am finally feeling better.. However, due to sleeping at all hours of the day for the last week it's now 2am and I am wide awake. So what better time to post then at all hours?

There is a for lease sign up on my lawn if anyone is interested in a lovely home in Oakville to rent for a year. So I am assuming I am making it as official as I can however, I may end up changing my mind ( highly doubt it) and end up having to live with my parents for a year... So they will start showing the place on Monday I have a lot of work to do this weekend in order to get it ready, also and maybe some of you know this maybe you don't what is appropriate to leave out when people are walking through your place? What I am asking is there anything that I should go out of my way to hide?

My Cell phone is busted and that is bothersome, stupid thing won't take a charge got a new battery today but still doesn't charge.. they are going to have to send me a loaner when I send mine in for repair.. However, when I went in today to get the thing looked at , and they replaced the battery and it went on , the thing started beeping due to missed texts... thanks for the love all .. the thing appeared to be posessed in the very packed Bell store. So my cell is out for a few days..

Ok that is it for my first post.. I will try to be as diligent as Darren and Jen to make posts as regularly as possible.
