ten reasons why this year's christmas is going to kick ass way more than last year

10) there is just a happy vibe in the air that is making me extremely happy and giddy. of course this may be due to all the rum balls and eggnog that i have consumed.

9) we actually have snow this year. mind you it's not a lot but we have snow

8) food. oh the food. there's chocolates, candies, fruit baskets, peanut brittle, sweets oh the sweets its never ending! to hell with the diet worry about it in the new year!!!!

7) presents. lot's and lot's of presents

6) i received my first ever christmas bonus

5) no more wrapping, taping, stuffing, tying of christmas presents til another year

4) cannot wait to see hubby open up his gift that i got for him, it's the bestest present EVER! and he is going to be super stoked....but shhhhhh we can't tell!!

3) our office is shutting down at 3pm tomorrow & ordering in pizza for everyone. sweet!!

2) planning on getting totally shit faced on christmas eve with family & co. this seems to becoming a tradition and i've been online finding shooter receipes. plan on making malibu rum jello shooters in a watermelon flavor.....mmmmmm. cannot wait for the drunkeness

and my #1 reason that christmas is going to kick way more ass than last year's christmas is.......................................................................................

1) MY SISTER IS HOME!! for the first time in 4 years for christmas and i'm so super duper happy that she's home i cannot sit still. they just got in last nite and i'm so glad she's here it just makes everything "right"

burned

you know sometimes when you want something or planning on something in the future and someone else steals the idea right out from under you?? or having planned to get something and then it not go your way??

well here's some instances for you

i like no love the name Noah for a boy and i had it all planned out that someday, someday when we have kids that i would name my lil one Noah (as he would have the same initals as hubby NF, i know it's really corny). ever since the Notebook i have loved this name (and Ryan Gossling but that's for another day), but sadly no this will never happen as my hubbies cousin who recently had a baby boy named him none other than you guessed it NOAH!!!

grrr.

this is so not even funny and i had to keep a straight happy face yesterday when i discovered this tid bit of information at a family gathering where everyone was staring at me and expecting me to hold this lil infant (only 5 wks old). um no thanks. me & babies do not mix. espically since you stole my name!! dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sadly this is not the first time this has happend to me

shortly after my grandmother passed away i was on the bandwagon to name my girl after her (Claudia) but again someone within our small community beat me to the punch and called her girl Claudia! grrrrrr. i give up no more picking out names until the time actually comes!

i recently wen't to purchase hubbies x-mas gift at crappy tire (aka Canadian Tire) and of course they didn't have it in stock. thought that's ok i'll get it online. nope. not available here either!!! grrr stupid crappy tire, no wonder pps have taken to calling it thus.

so i had to come up with a bigger better idea only to discover that they also don't have it at our local store or online!! wtf? what's going on. so panic sets in and then i think ahhhh mabye i can see if it's available where my sissy lives and sure enough. so a favor was then put forth and thank you, THANK YOU sissy for picking up hubbies gift. who would have thought it was going to be this much work?? Geesh!

sadly these are the only ones to come to mind at the moment i'm sure more will come to me.

~happy monday~ (ick)!

6 more days and counting til Christmas!

some pics of my staff x-mas party

i hate having my picture taken but alas here's some pics from my staff Christmas party that was held on Dec 9th, a good time was had by all and i can't wait til next year's party (mabye next time i will take my hubby). This is my first Christmas party that i have been too in like 3 years as when i was in gov't we only had inner office parties during the day not at night and not with an open bar.....he he he





me & fellow co-worker "m" and her husband (i left mine at home as it's not really his "thing"). this is pre-drunken happiness and only drink #1










this is a shot of me & fellow co-workers in front of our huge Christmas tree










had one too many drinks by this point and i'm quite giddy & happy (as you can see by the huge grin on my face)

meh

this word describes my mood of late

~ meh ~

not happy, sad, or anything really just

~ meh ~

the weather is frightful and is frickin freezing, supposed to get some snow tommorrow though so i'm hoping that will warm things up a bit

hubby and i watched the 40 year old virgin last nite as it's now out on DVD. was pretty funny but mabye i wasn't in the best mood to watch it as i just didn't find it hilarious except for the whole waxing scene

just when you think u are all done shopping you have to buy more gifts for a stupid family yankee swap. i hate yankee swaps. better yet i just hate going to hubby's family gatherings and i have to prepare myself for one this coming sunday (sooooo painful). so that's another $40 (20 for each gift have to get for a man & women) down the shithole.

received this email this morning and i encourage all/any of my readers to take a part in this (espically anyone who belives in maintaining the Christmas spirit):

Hey, want to have some fun this CHRISTMAS?
Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD!
As they are working so very hard to get ridof the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday,
we should all send them a nice, CHRISTIAN,card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world.

Here's the Address, just don't be rude or crude.(It's Not the Christian Way ya know?)

ACLU
"Wishing You a Happy Winter Holiday"
125 Broad Street, 18th Floor
New York, NY
10004

Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations
because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail
containingcontributions..
So spend 37 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone.

in case you aren't aware this group (and WalMart) are trying to implement the saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" i myself feel that this is ridiculous. if you don't belive or celebrate in Christmas just don't say it or partake in it. i don't pay any attention to the jewish holiday's....i dunno i just don't get it and i don't think it's right and i'm not even that religous!! what's the world coming to??

haven't really caught much for Christmas shows yet this year, mabye i'm missing them completely or looking on the wrong channels?

only 10 more days til Christmas!!

8 until my sissy comes home!

i'm out

which one are you??

You Are Dancer

Carefree and fun, you always find reasons to do a happy dance.

Why You're Naughty: That dark stint you had as Santa's private dancer.

Why You're Nice: You're friendly. Very friendly.

Narnia review


so i saw this movie on the weekend and i figured i'd talk about it here as i can't really think of anything else to write about. now from the previews this movie looked amazing visually and i just had to see it.

i have yet to read the books but growing up my fabulous cousin jilly would always talk to me about these books and how awsome they were and that i had to read them. why i never did i dunno but anyways i will eventually read them.

onto the movie review

well we arrive early with jilly & M and my hubby (who i should have left home as this is soooo not his type of movie but i felt like dragging him along anyways) so we get snacks and pop (BIG misstake!) to kill the half an hour just sitting in the theater.

ahh the movie finally begins. lot's of previews, really want to see the Family Stone that looks good, some other junk for kids and finally the movie is actually starting and i'm super stoked.

slow. that's all i need to say. the first hour is soooo slow, no i take that back the whole movie was kinda slow (total time was 2 1/2 hrs). and it didn't help that i had to get up and leave to use the washroom as the pop i had consumed ran right thru me (i never have done this as usually i can hold it but i drank the whole thing and i had to GO, go now!!) so i missed a few minutes but i don't think i missed much. mind you it did have its good moments but i dunno the whole time i was like get to something already!!

then the battle scene begins and i wonder why are young, YOUNG children allowed to view this? there wasn't any blood or anything but still it was a battle scene and it's the pivitol point in the movie. there was a row of about 4/5 year olds behind us and they are like what's happening? what's that? i know it's a kids movie but i think they are a little too young, i personally would never take my children (not that i have any) to a movie like this. doesn't it have a PG 13 rating??

overall i was a bit disappointed. mabye i was over hyped about it all, or mabye the previews made it seem better than what it was, mabye they shouldn't have drug it out over 2 1/2 hours, the book isn't that big pps! why drag it out??

anyways, my advise if your a big fan of the books you'll like it if your like me and never read or know anything about it you may be a wee bit disappointed or you may not. out of the four of us that watched it none of us were impressed, including jilly who had read the books!

that's my two cents worth anyways!

pop up's

some random thoughts that have been popping into my brain lately:

i hate being called a "secretary" even though technically it's what i am but i much prefer to go by administrative assistant, admin support or better yet executive assistant (ha i don't do enough to be called that!)

i also dislike being called dear makes me feel old

weighed myself the other nite i'm down a few pounds (it's coming off slowly but if i weren't so lazy and exercised i'm sure it would come off faster.....)

upon weighing myself hubby was curious to see what he weighed....sadly he weighs less than i do which is so depressing

bought two new fab outfits last week while shopping (which i soooo needed) but now i'm feeling guilty as we are lacking $$ and have NO money. sigh. to depressing to think about makes me want to cry

i am also done, DONE my x-mas shopping no more!! plus they are all wrapped and stored away to be delivered

lack of $$ is causing major stress and anxiety for me (as usual) so therefore i am not sleeping, eating and am very moody

my sissy is coming home for X-mas!!! so excited and cannot wait to see her as i haven't seen her since March

i acutally went for a walk yesterday. imagine. me doing physical activity! i'm quite surprized at myself. damn near froze to death but still

we put our x-mas tree up yesterday. had our typical annual x-mas tree arguement about decorations. i called his gradmother's ornaments tacky and he got really upset with me and called me princess and not in a nice way. so then i got really mad. needless to say it's decorated with mine & his stuff (at this point i don't really care) and we made up (as usual). guess this has become a tradition of sorts

where hubby has been down for the count (he is getting much better) i have been tending to our wood stove (as this is our main source of heat) and every damn time i put a stick of wood in i somehow manage to burn myself. the first time it was a finger, the second my wrist and finally now the 3rd and the wurst is my arm right in the crease where it bends and it hurts like a sob :(

after burning myself i contemplated what i could put on myself that would have a cooling effect. anyone remember the old noxzema in the blue jar? ahh what fond memories i have of this and just the smel alone takes me to a happy place. do they even make this anymore??

anyways i'm out

from my brain to you

tidbits for the day

it's snowing again - have yet to put on winter "snow" tires as i have been procrastinating now for about a month mabye i'll get them on next week or possibly this weekend.....mabye

it's exactly 1 year ago today that my gram died. does not feel real or possible i'm still numb and in denial cannot believe that it has been a year ago

it's extremely boring and quiet here today in all there is about 5 people here in the office today when there is normally like 20 + mind u i'm not complaining really just makes it a really, really long day

need to start exercising pronto but cannot muster up the energy where is my personal trainer when i need him (god i wish i had one.....santa can u here me????) mabye i will start this next week too....

i've been called in to go for testing for another gov't job only it's temporary and i dunno what to do as i've been there done that and i finally have full time job but this other job is more money....what to do what to do think i will turn it down what do u think??

it's turkey day in the US ~ gobble gobble ~ wish i had 4 days off :(

it's offical Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey are kaput, who didn't see this one coming a mile away but it's still kinda sad though isn't it i mean it seemed like they were happy & in love once. just goes to show you that marriage is hard no matter who you are and you can drift apart. i am sure the press will have a field day withvthis one

i dunno what to do with myself this afternoon i'm tired of surfing the net & i'm all caught up on the latest gossip mabye i should find a cool game to play online

i'm debating on changing my screen name as i find ~h~ a little boring but yet i kinda like it as that's my first inital but i'm thinking of either A)hollerback girl (as i love gwen stefani) B)flea (which is my nickname) what do ya think???

Monday, November 21, 2005

zzzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

huh. whuz it......wuz........what??

what's going

oh

i'm blogging

huh, how did i get here.........

i'm soooooo TIRED! or i should say BORED outta my mind! that or i left my brain at home this morning. i am NUMB to everything today and feel like doing NOTHING.

~sigh ~

i've been like this since friday and i can't seem to snap out of it. i shouldn't be tired. i had a nice quiet weekend, lot's of sleep did much of nothing almost went crazy in fact with boredom as hubby was away.

but all i want to do today is close my eyes and shut out the world.......zzzzz....... then the dang phone here at work snaps me back to reality ~zap~ yeah, yeah i here you....i'm awake (but i'm really not). just seem to be going thru the motions today. i need caffeine and lot's of it sadly i don't drink coffee nor a lot of pop (soda to you yankees).

so on the positive side of things i must tell myself that:

i have only 2 more hours of monday to go (work hours that is)
after today i only have 4 more days of work
there are only 9 more days of hell month (aka november)
i'm taking a day off somewhere in the next 2 wks to do my x-mas shopping

so really it's not all that bad now is it?

LMFAO

no this goat is not dead (i'm not that sick).......read on and you'll see why i'm laughing.....

on a typical boring sunday afternoon i tune into TLC to watch some mindless t.v. only to discover that Tuckerville is on the air most of the afternoon. For those that do not know this is a reality show on the life of Tanya Tucker famous, notorious country star who has a huge mansion in Tennese and this show follows her and her 3 kids.

on this particular episode we follow her son Grayson and his best friend Lionel, now these two are little hellions when they are together. Grayson has a school project that he needs to do for science class and he chooses to do his research on fainting goats. that's right the goat above has fainted and apparantly fainting goats are a slightly smaller version of the standard goat, who, believe it or not, thanks to a genetic condition called myotonia congenita, actually seem to faint when they are startled. unbelieveable right.

well Grayson and Lionel had to locate a farmer near them who has a whole herd of these things and they get the video tape out (for there project) and ask the farmer questions and all that good stuff to go along with it. now to the good part. the farmer's like just sneek up on em and yell real loud they'll drop just like that.

the first couple of times they did it i did not find it funny, in fact i found it kinda cruel (i am an animal lover). but the more they did it i kinda go giddy. i mean seeing these wee little goats drop and roll on the ground on there backs with there little legs out i began to laugh. like an uncontrolable laugh. i couldn't stop. they would be clumped in an area together and the whole herd of them would drop to the ground like bowling pins. i'm now laughing so hard i'm crying. little rivers of tears are rolling down my cheeks, my sides start to hurt. suddenly hubby comes in from outside and sees me sitting on the couch laughing with tears streaming down my face and i cannot talk all i can muster is a point at the screen. but alas the scene of the fainting goats has ended.

i tried to tell him of the fainting goats but he didn't belive me! he's all like that's not possible. so now i'm all defensive and guess what i showed him cause the commercial was over and there they go again. sadly he didn't quite find it as amuzing as me but he did laugh a little.

hee

i want one!!

rewind

where was i :

1 year ago (2004) - probably sitting at my gov't job dreading work that day & dreading working at my other part time job (picked up extra work due to the mill layoff's) at a retail store. the wurst that has happend to me thus far this year is the death of hubby's grandad & the layoff's of the mill. not knowing that in 2 wks my gram would be dead and everything just would be shitty. but at this moment in time a year ago i was probably pretty content with my life.

3 years ago (2002) - still in deep morning for lisa, working at a job that i hated and boss that i hated and he hated me. i wanted nothing more than to curl up in a ball and die

4 years ago (2001) - driving to work at the job i despised (same lame ass employer that i was with a year later, why i stayed so long i'll never know....) in the rain. i here on the news that there has been a bad accident on the TCH (trans canada highway) thinking and hoping to myself that it wouldn't affect my drive. in the next couple of minutes i hit the line up of traffic (at this time the TCH was still only a double lane highway we wouldn't get a 4 lane until 2003/2004) and i try to call ahead to work to let them know i'll be late. shit nobody in yet. well oh well, screw them. in the next 20-30 minutes sitting in line only glimpsing cop cars every now and then i receive several phone calls. 1 from not then hubby wanting to be sure it wasn't me in the accident, 1 from mom & dad, i made a call to aunt sharol's to be sure it couldn't be her or jilly which it wasn't but something just "nagged" at me like i knew it was going to be someone i knew or knew of. so as i get closer and closer i can begin to see that indeed it was nasty and as i slowly drive by with the police man waving me on i catch a glimpse of a white car in a ditch and damn whoever was in that car is a goner......who do i know with a white car.....hmmm...then i see the front of the car and i know instantly that it's lisa's car and i'm instantly crying and freaking the f@#! out. omg. omg. omg. the next few days are a blur. i just remember being at the hospital waiting and praying, knowing that she wasn't going to come around or wake up. numb to everything and oblivious to other life around me.

6 years ago (1998) - fall of 98 wow that's been awhile ago fresh out of high school was i and i had no clue then like i do now what i wanted to do with my life. knew that i didn't want to go to school so that was out so i got a job working for my uncle working in his clothing store for that fall. don't really remember much but know that we were all starting to hang out around each other around this time

10 years ago (1994) - wow this is a stretch fer sure. all i really remember is this was the year or on coming year for my sister's graduation and i was in grade 9. i was jealous of her and the attention she would get for being in grade 12, the friends she had, how well she did in school...etc, etc it's a safe bet that i lived in her shadow because the year or two later i started to change becomming myself, wanting to go out, speak out, drink, party whatever just to do something anything different than her. i was part of a group of 6 girls (total including me) that thought we were like the girls in Clueless, we would dress like them, talk like them, act like them. we thought we were the cat's ass and we probably were as we were all very pretty each in our own way. we were hot as paris hilton would say. i remember going to Aldo's & Le Chateau to buy my clothes (i wouldn't step foot there now). i played basketball even though i hated it just cause my sister did (i would later quit in grade 11). i was so not atheletic or any good totally sucked ass.

12 years ago (1992) - this is as far as i will go but i had to put this here as this was the year of my most embarssing moment that i talked about in a previous blog a little while back. this was the year that i started my lovely period. yup i was now a women. yippee. not. in fact this was probably the last time i ever wore a pad. uck how i hate pads....anyways. anytime i would wear a pad, it either a) leaked and i had blood all over my pants, b) stuck to my ass and or private regions and i felt like i was wearing a diaper and c) smelled like dirty ole ass. yes those were the good ole days. and unlike now-a-days where i'm regulated like clock work i never knew or knew enough to keep track as to when i would have my monthly flux. so quite often like case in point i would start unexpectably and end up in a mess (quite literally) and want to die. this happend a lot this year.

ah the memories.....

a trip down memory lane

from a previous post (nov 1 i think) i breifly touched on the surface about a friend of mine that passed away in a car accident. it will be 4 years tommorrow morning since her accident and thursday (nov 10) is the actual day that she passed on but i always consider the 9th d-day as i like to call it as that was to me the day she died. i hate that word and i hate writting that word. but the fact is she's gone from her family, her fiance, her friends, her life.

i often wonder what she would be like today, where she would be, what she would look like, would we even still be friends as friends often drift apart and go there separate ways. so today i'm taking a trip down the ole memory lane to remember Lisa Marie Nicole Sharpe aka weezey or weeze (why we called her this is beyond me now but it stuck)

my first ever time meeting lisa (she wen't to Woodstock even though she lived closer to Meductic/Canterbury) and she was best friends with a girl in my class (whom i'll call MJ) and they were at a basketball game at good ole CHS when i was probably in grade 6. i instantly disliked her as she was "going" with a guy that i partially liked myself and i was so jealous and wanted nothing to do with her what-so-ever.

the years go by and i often here stories of lisa from MJ, still somewhat disliking her from my first inital meeting with her and eventually i kinda forget about her until she starts dating craig (the local hottie) in grade 11 or 12. she would come to the dances, local parties whatever and i was still terribly jealous of her after all these years as she was a very pretty girl & she was nailing CHS's finest. and she could dance. i've never mentioned before or perhaps i have but i LOVE to dance and i'm going to toot my own horn here but i'm good at least pps tell me so (but i really couldn't care as i just love to dance). if only i could have taken those dance classes i could have been that much better....but that's a story for another day.......

where was i...oh yeah dancing. she could move and i would watch her at the dances try to do one better than her and we would sort of be competing ya know (like a dance off almost). this is really all i can think of for memories in high school. i didn't know her then just knew of her and knew that i would have loved to be her or at least in her shoes for a day or mabye two!

a year later in the fab year of 1998/1999 we bumped into each other again, only this time we became friends. the reason. well we met a few "older" guys who liked to party, supply the beer & weed and "the circle" was instantly formed. a group of 4 guys and 5 girls became un-seperable. we did everything together that summer before we all kinda paried off into "couples". we partied all that time didn't matter if it was monday, thursday whatever. you just walked down the street and the boys would be driving around and tell us to "bail in er" and off we wen't. camping trips, a rock concert, we did it all that summer. life was sweet then. didn't have to worry about car payments, mortgage payments all we cared about was having enough $$ to buy some boone's wine or beers. work was a joke we, all worked in retail us girls anyways so we didn't give a rat's ass bout anything.

when i think back on this summer all i can recall is hot sunny weather, cold beer, camping trips (mostly at North Lake), the smell of weed, baseball tornaments (my one and only), get together's at "the damn" in forest city, sunburns, traveling the back roads and getting stuck more than once. those were the days.

i may not have been as close to her as jilly or marsha but she was a friend, after all these years of me spiting her and being jealous of her she was one of my best friends. funny how things work out.

the thing that her and i had in common the most was our love for the happy weed. we couldn't get it enough. my most vivid memory of her and i (i believe sandy was there too, another member of the circle....) at a party in Woodstock, why i was at a party in woodstock is beyond me but there we were at this stupid lame ass party with a bunch of sandy's friends from high school. lisa and i look at each other and just "know" what the other is thinking and lisa's like i have to run out and get something heather do you want to come with me.....and we are off. as soon as she's in the car she's like i have a friend that can hook us up and we go to the shadiest place i've ever been but it's worth it. we head back over to the lame ass party, sit outside and smoke em back to back. i have never been so messed up ever and i can just close my eyes and remember the feeling that i had that night and i can hear lisa's laugh and how on the drive home (god i don't know how she drove...) we were listening to Our Lady Peace's CD that has clumsy, and superman's dead it's an awsome CD and lisa kept hitting replay on clumsy. over and over again and she was driving sooooo slow and laughing that she felt like she was going 100 mph. that was a wild nite.

funny how when you get thinking how the memories all come back. i know i don't often think of her as much as i used to but it still hits me every now and then. espically when i see her mom, or something that reminds me of her. i remember right after the accident how i would see her everywhere, pps that resembled her in the least quite often it was long brown hair or just the style of someone's clothes as she was always dressed so stylish & to the nine's.

i miss her and i'm sure i'll think of more memories to post this week as usally from the 8-11th she's bout the only thing on my mind.

weekender report

agenda: sleep, more sleep, mabye a little drink or two and more sleep

events/play by play:

saturday, ahhh blissful, peaceful saturday oh how i love thee. spent the entire day in bed unable to move or summon any energy to do anything. battled yet another headache blaming this on why i was so damned tired.

saturday evening: after sleeping away the day i now have tons and tons of energy and i must get out and do something, anything. so we have a little bonfire in the back yard (it was FREEZING) but i enjoyed it as it was the last one of the year :(

jilly & "m" came out had a few drinks and then we are off to the bar! yippee

only apon arriving at the bar there is is nobody in sight :( but i will not let this deter me oh no i'm on a mission to a) get drunk & b) have a good time and most of all c)dance and shake my ass like it's never been shook before! priority number 1 is to get some drinks into me. do a couple of shooters to get er started then i proceed to my drink of choice rum & coke. a few more pps arrive, drink a few more drinks and then the bartender pulls out some jello shooters.......i'm drooling at this point. love jello shooters espically the cherry ones. anyways, they are FREE that's right free! as they were left over from last weekend's halloween bash. let me tell you we tore through those shooters like a pack of hyeana's. the rest of the night is a blur so it had to be a good time and i crashed and burned at like 2:30 so of course all day sunday i was good for nothing. did absolutely dick all. could not get out of bed, head hurtz like heck, think i pulled a leg muscle dancing.......so yeah i had a super weekend!

how bout you?

ready to catch some "z's"

man i can hardly keep my head up let alone having my eyes be open. it's so utterly quiet and dead here at work today i'm ready to curl up and pull a quckie nap to catch some "z's".

i'm sure nobody would notice (although the eye in the sky would) but what's a 15 minute nap?

why are fridays the day that everyone who has a "title" gets to take off and be out somewhere important rather than here at the office? leaving us poor goats to hold down the fort and try to stay lively. if i was rich and had my own company i would just send pps the hell home instead of paying them to sit on there ass and do nothing. mind you i shouldn't be complaining as all i've done all day is surf the net but i'm BORED and i wanna go home already! like it's almost painful to be here it's that quiet i just want to scream so there is actual noise in the building. even my radio isn't good company. sigh.

on the positive note though it is friday,

it is pay week

tommorrow is saturday and i'm hoping to tie on a good one tommorow nite with jilly and shake our "humps" (lol) at the B&G

i can sleep in tommorrow and do nothing all day should i choose to do so

~happy friday~

i'm out

~h~

it's SNOWING!!!

our first offical snow/flurry here in my neck of the woods. a part of me is actually a little giddy (isn't anyone though with the 1st snow of the season?) but on the other hand it's also a little depressing as alas winter is upon us

i don't imagine it will acumulate to much it's more of a wet rain with big chunks of the white stuff in it. i almost want to run outside and run around in it with my tongue out catching the snowflakes like when we were kids. rememeber those days?

well in other news i'm getting my flu shot today so no more colds/flu like symptoms for me (at least i hope i wasn't sick last year and i had one....). i'm a little fearfull and almost wishing that i would have an allergic reaction to the flu shot so i could have the afternoon off of work....hmm that's a thought to ponder.......

it's thursday pps only 1 more day til the weekend!!!

fat guy in a little coat

omg i have never wanted to crack out and laugh so hard in my life. anyone remember the movie "tommy boy" with Chris Farley........

anyone......

ok there is this one scene where he puts on David Spade's coat and he sings the song fat man in a little coat and ends up ripping the coat off in the process. priceless and so funny you have to watch this movie if you haven't just for the stupidity & this moment on film.

anyways today i witnessed my very own fat man in a little coat. well it wasn't a coat but one of those road flagger outfits that are bright orange with huge X stripes on them. and this guy is well fat and the coat was waaaayyy to small and he was talking to me and all i could think or hear in my head was FAT MAN IN LITTLE COAT! and i cracked a smile and then i kinda snickered and then he looked at me all weird and then i kinda mabye snorted a little but i covered it with a cough. i don't think he bought it though. and now i can't stop tee-heeing in my head about this man and the next time i see him i will just die!!!!!

my least favorite month

it's that time of year. you can feel it in the air, smell it, loathe it. that's right it's November. I never used to hate it so but as the years roll by something always happens in November to make me hate it even more.

Mabye it's because it's our last month for a long weekend (Remembrance day - Nov 11) and we don't get another break until Christmas and then Easter that stretch from Jan thru March or April is always brutal but I blame November for kicking off the string of depressing months looming ahead.

Mabye it's because my grandfather who was a vetran from the 2nd world war and lost his right leg and his brother & best friend while over there always used to work so hard and promote awareness of Remembrance Day to remember those who were lost or risked there lives for us. Our local community always holds a service remembering those who served there country and he was always so active in this and even though he has been gone for 6 years this coming January I always miss him the most this time of year

Mabye it's because one of my best friends was killed in a car crash 4 years ago on a typical wet, dreary November day. How i hate November rain. How i miss her. How i still tell myself that she is still here she's just away somewhere's, i guess this is my way to handle death as i have done it with anyone close to me. just makes it that much harder when you realize that they are gone at least from here but i take comfort in knowing that i will see them again.

Mabye it's also because this is the month that my grandmother passed away last year. It's also worse as her birthday is this month too. and again i tell myself that she is just away not letting myself greive properly. but every once and awhile it actually hits me and i stop and think and remember her, her life, her laugh, her fabulous extrodinary cooking (espically her homeade donuts) how i would always go to her house before going home (she lived right down the road from us) and sit and watch t.v. or play word scramble games just to eat whatever she had cooked up fresh that afternoon. she would often do this neat little trick where she would flip a word and spell it backwords the one that i hear her do most often in my head is IPPISSISSIM! and she would always say it so fast and i would laugh. she would often do the entire alphabet too but the mississippi one always stands out to me the most.

Mabye it's the weather, it's always cold, dreary, dark, gloomy, raining or snowing it's always unpredictable

whatever the reason November is my least favorite month

only 29 more days til December.........

Ghost Stories

now i myself haven't really had or seen an actual ghost but in the sprit of Halloween i thought i would share a few from some loved ones (and mabye one of my own that may or may not qualify)

Story #1

comes from my mom who is a RN (registered nurse). she was working at an old folks home which has reportably had several ghostly encounters. on the night in question (it's always the night shifts..) she was doing her rounds on her wing (i believe the "C" wing which used to be the morgue many moons ago...) and while walking down the hallway she encountered extremely cold air and felt like she was be watched/followed. continuing on her way she then heard what she describes and slippers shuffling along the hallway. CREEPY. now this was her wurst experience but i should also tell the story of how the nursing home has this old room that used to be a residents room but has since been turned into a storage room and locked at all times but somehow the light from inside the locked "storage room" would always come on. another story from this spooky old folks home is that a women actually felt something cold & hard (like a hand) grab her shoulder! i would so not be working at this place!!

Story #2

my hubby had a dream the other night. as i have mentioned before hubby is an avid hunter and in our area it's deer season. he lives and breathes for deer season and ever since we have been together (six years totaly 2 married..) he hasn't shot or gotten a deer. i like to think i jynxed him but alas the spell has been broken as the other night he came home stated that he had shot at a deer but it took off and he wasn't sure if he had "hit" it or not. i was hoping that the poor bastard got away but sadly the next day he found it and now we have a supply of deer meat which i will not eat. anyways the creepy/strange side of this story is this. on the night that he shot the deer thinking it got away he had a dream and in the dream he was with his grandfather (who passed away over a year and a half ago of lung cancer). my hubby inherited one of his guns and in the dream he asked him if he had gotten anything with his gun yet. and in response hubby replied that he had hit a deer but it ran away and mabye he would get one next time. his grandfather then replied that the deer was in the hardwoods and to look there. after expressing this my hubby woke up remembering that the deer had run towards the hardwood and sure enough where do you think he found it the next day.......IN THE HARDWOOD. i got goose bumps so bad when he told me this. isn't this weird i totally think they communicate through dreams somehow.

Story #3

involves me. i don't really know if it was anything or just my over active imagination but it was extremely odd and unusual at the time. we were living in a huge old house about 50 years old. i loved this house and wish we could have bought it but that's a story for another day. anyways at one point in time this house was used as a nursing home! yup another one! and people had died in the home. now i don't remember this part but apparantly hubby told me after i woke up screaming at the top of my lungs and yelling "GET AWAY FROM ME" and acting like i was "pushing" something off of me and yelling directly at something or someone standing over me. about a week or so later i wake up in the morning and go downstairs to my morning dose of breakfast. i always watch t.v. while i eat and going into the living room i notice that our fireplace (yes it had a huge brick fireplace! which was awsome!) glass doors on the front are WIDE open. hmmmm that's interesting i holler up to hubby and ask why the doors are open on the fireplace thinking that mabye he had cleaned it out or something why else would they be open i never did.....he replies wtf are you talking about i never opened them......so who did?????? not to mention i always felt like there was someone in the house even when i was alone, like i was being watched or something. needless to say we have moved since and no more spooky stuff.

skanky ass breath

you know when you can smell your own breath it has to be pretty bad am i right? and i cannot for the life of me pinpoint what exactly my breath smells like but it's nasty

man i hate, hate bad breath it's one of my many pet peeves and to know that i have bad breath myself is just down right wrong. but alas i have no gum, mint or tooth paste with me so i'm avoiding everyone.

and to top it all off i have a nice icky grose layer of crap (fungi is the word i want to use...) on my tongue. have you ever had strep throat? this is what my tongue and throat feels like i'm starting to get. i know, i know i was recently Ms. Sickly pants but i can't help but feel like i'm getting ill again. all the signs are there and trust me i've had strep enough times to know what to expect. and this skanky ass breath is a sure WARNING sign in big bright flashing fashion. or mabye i just have bad breath syndrome.

who knows but i sure as hell could use a mint right now.

so this is my dad's side of the family we had a big get together in August of this year.

i'm over on the left in black standing next to my gram mcfarlane (my mom's mom..) and my mom is right behind her (yup they are really short). hubby is way in the back hiding you can pretty much only see his white hat towards the middle and my dad is right in the front kneeling on the righthand side, how we all ended up so far apart is beyond me...

ways a pretty good time, great to see everyone. thought i would post this here for sis & Lindsay (way out there in Ontario!) cause they missed out. wish you could have been there though :)

oi where to begin with this one?

now i like the black eyed peas and man if i had Fergie's body i would walk around naked all the time but there latest song and video has me wondering.

WTF?

did she just say what i think she said.

holy crap!!!

just check out the lyric's that i have bolded for instances and refering to ones buttocks and bust areas as humps and lumps is a little bizare is it not at least i think so. but despite all this i cannot get this song out of my head so obviousily someone is doing something right. right?

just had to share the stupidity

~p.s~

feeling much better by the way. not quite as sickly as i was last week although i'm still not 100% but BIG improvement from last week, just wish the damn cough and chest pain would let up some already! gish

i'm ill

ohhhh so sick

miserable bloody cold this is the first cold that i've had in about a year and a half so i'm down for the count.

can't stop sneezing and blowing my nose even though i'm starting to resemble rudolph and it's beginning to hurt. i'm sitting here yet i am in a fog so not with the program and i know i won't get any work accomplished today.

eyes are watering and my head is pounding so don't wanna be at work but i missed yesterday as i was worse off than today.

lips are chapped all to pieces as i was running a fever yesterday could not move out of bed or out of the fetal position. thought i was going to die.

wanna go home :(

only 6 1/2 hours to go

mabye i'll work thru lunch to leave early

cakes and pies!!

in case you haven't read my last few posts it's a holiday weekend for us canucks.

yup it's thanksgiving which means lot's and lot's of food but more importantly turkey, mashed potatoes, cakes and pies and whatever else you can stuff yourself with while giving "thanks" to life, god? whatever, all i care about is the food and not having to work on monday ~yippee~.

which also means that i so do not feel like working today and i just want the day over with. and even worse i have to get groceries after work which i'm sure will be extremely painful as everyone is out and about doing last minute shopping so the lines will be crazy i'm sure. so not looking forward to it.

also this is my first thanksgiving that my fam dam is away it's just me and hubby as my mom and dad are visiting my sister so that's kinda weird in a way as i'm going to miss my mom's cooking. but i still get to eat at the in-law's on sunday so i'm sure i'll have some stories as it's usually quite painful yet amuzing at the same time as they are so different from my family.

so this weekend should be a good one despite the fact that it's going to rain and be cold

i'm hoping to

eat some turkey and have at least 1 piece of someone's apple pie (never as good as mom's but i still love apple pie...)
sleep like i've never slept before
get drunk and party hardy with jilly bean as she is home for the long weekend
finish reading the clan of the cave bear series (still have 2 books to go) so lot's of reading to do!
sleep a little more
and just relax and mabye drink a little more.......

take care all

later

not so into

so i'm not so into techonology, i mean i am but not overly so. i don't know how to take photo's from my digital camera and put them onto a computer, i don't know how to download music, i wouldn't even know how to run an mp3 player, i don't know how to make my blog all fancy dancey with links, pics and all that fun stuff i would like to learn but quite honestly i don't have the patience and my computer at home sucks the big one so sorry there won't be any pics on my blog page :(

not so into rap music, i am when they have a catchy little chorus or a wicked beat and a more pop sound but the hardcore rap nope not my thing

not so into slim fitted tappered pants i have heard rumours that these are back in style and i hope to god it's not true. say it aint so!!!

not so into jennifer love hewitts new show such a rip off of medium not even funny plus i just hate her so do not watch this show is you want to watch a good show with ghosts and psycic powers watch medium on NBC

not so into doing math in my head. i've always sucked at doing math and hated it throughout my school years and i hate it when pps put me on the spot. thank god for calculators is all i have to say

not so into bon jovi's new song i know i've dissed it already but gish can't you old 80's bands go away already

not so into tom cruise and katie holmes this is such a scam and now they are pregnant! ha, what an ass. he has diminshed rapidly in my eyes since this whole tomkat began and then the whole comment thing about broke sheilds and scientology and aliens, what an ass, why do we still watch still watch his movies we should be boycotting so he can go away already

so not into working today. blah wanna go home and wish it was friday

1 more day til the weekend

bits and bites

so excited and happy as i finally can get my mop (aka my hair) cut and highlighted. i'm in desperate need of a cut as my hair has been flat, wild and driving me nuts now for weeks so i'm stoked to get a new "do" plus i just love chatting it up with jackie (the best hairdresser EVER!)

looks like i may not be going to the big city again as mom and dad are now in the talks of going out to Kingston to visit my sister over the long weekend. so another shopping trip postponed yet again hopefully i will get there before the end of the month. sigh.

day number three of the diet is going well eating in today just wish i hadn't forgot my book at home so i'm not sure what i will do for 1 hr and i can't really leave early as my hair appt is not until 5:45 not even sure what i will do to kill that 30 min.....just hope i'm not tempted to eat out that's the challenge

ok is anyone else watching Supernatural on the WB (or ASN for us Atlantic Canadians) ???? if not u have to watch this show not only is it a really good show but the lead guy Jensen Ackles (formerlly lana's b-friend from Smallville and years ago he was on DOOL) is a super hottie. like drool worthy hot. omg he's so fine you cannot take your eyes off of him the entire time yum and he was in boxer shorts last night omg!!!! ladies you have to check out this show, trust me

can't wait for lost tonight hope it's a good episode which i'm sure it will be

is it just me or does this season of amazing race look really dumb, the whole family thing?? i haven't tuned in once just not interested plus it can't compair to rob & amber love those two!!

isn't this weather fantastic!! so awsome and can't beleive it's this warm although it probaly won't last long i'm lovin every minute of it while it lasts

so i think they are going to give me more stuff to do at work which is great and i'm glad and all but yet at the same time part of me is sad.....no i take that back i'd rather be busy any day than bored and staring at walls.................

two more days til a long weekend. yippee!!!

what's not to be happy about??

lean, mean, fighting machine

this is what i hope no better yet determined to become.

i want abs of steel and a firm tight ass not thunder thighs and a budda belly (which is what i have now). yup it's day two of my actual diet and gasp!! i actually walked the dogs last night omg i'm so impressed with myself and i hope i can keep this momentum going and work out if not every night than every other.

some rules that i must follow if i am to suceed:

drink lot's and lot's of water to the point that i can't take anymore. doing well so far i have my little bottle of water that i can't help but stare at all day at work and i'm trying to get 4 of these in a work day (not including what i would drink at home) and have only achieved 3 thus far hoping to get to 4 though

no eating out mabye once every two weeks if that. so far so good this week........

no eating after 7pm (did this all last week and feel so much better in the mornings huge difference!)

exercise get moving anything. just need to be active.

so yeah i'm in diet mode and i hope to god it works and i see a difference soon

going shopping with my mom this weekend hoping to get an outfit or two and some halloween decorations and stuff so lot's of $$ will be spent. can't wait.

on a downer note think i'm getting a bug or something or it could just plain be mentrual cramps but i'm draggy and slow today and hurt everywhere and my throat is somewhat sore. so hope i'm not getting sick as i haven't been sick in like a year or more.

anyways that's it, happy tuesday!!

you might be a little overweight if.........

(these apply to myself and myself alone)

you might be a little overweight if your blouse your wearing gapes at every button every time you move or slouch a little. giving the perverts in your office a "nice" little peek at your breasts and fat rolls on your stomache.

you might be a little overweight if you go to put on your favorite pair of boots and you are unable to zip them up the entire way as your calves are just either a) to muscular or b) a little rounder than this time last year (i prefer to hope that they are muscular but i know they are not as i don't work out.....)

you might be a little overweight if the pants you used to wear quite frequently cut into you rather painfully in the middle but they fit fine everywhere else.

you might be a little overweight if your only pair of jeans looks like you have literally been poured into them with a little extra overflowing around the waist. but sense they are your only pair of jeans you wear them anyways, despite the fact that you know they look awful and don't flatter you in the least.

you might be a little overweight if while your eating you know that you should stop as you are getting full but yet you continue to clean off your plate as your parents and or grandparents always used to threaten you as a child to finish your plate as there are plenty of "starving" children all over the world that could live for weeks on what i would be wasting if i did not eat it. so i continue to clean off my plate and hate myself for it.......

you might be a little overweight if you continue to say to yourself i'll start my diet next week

you might be a little overweight if you know that you shouldn't give into temptation and eat that raw cookie dough but your craving it sooooo badly that you just don't give a damn about your waistline and to hell with that diet! heck i'm not dieting until monday anyways so why not!!

going CRAZY

you know i have often heard people say that if a person thinks they are going crazy then they are not crazy but i beg to differ.

i think i have reached the tip of my ice berg.

i'm bored out of my mind at work and at home. all we've been doing is watching t.v. (which i love) but it's getting kinda mundane. the job is non challenging and all i do is answer the phone and some filing which puts me to sleep. i've asked a few pps for some stuff to do and nothing!!! give me something, ANYTHING. i need more!!! so i'm left to either a)chatting on msn (which they are ok with) or b) serfing the net (not so sure they are ok with) but what else am i to do stare at the walls?

constantly restless but have no energy to do anything about it. remember my walk from yesterday. ha!!! so did not move off the couch just like i said i wouldn't but i could not get off my ass and out the door even though part of me wanted too.....

i talk to myself and will laugh at myself if i do something stupid. most times it's while i'm driving in my car. like when i happen to run up over a curb or cut someone off. yeah nothing but good times with me and my alter ego.

i'm paranoid about everything like work (don't make enough money, nobody tells me anything, nobody trained me, what am i supposed to be doing), life at home (hubby not really talking lately), money (never enough) you name it i think that there's a hidden agenda or something wrong.

sleep deprived yet i'm always tired

will cry over nothing or anything that sets me off and then i cannot stop and i will laugh at myself for crying over nothing. ha ha ha look at you cry baby! then i just cry some more............

i think i need anti depressants or some kind of drug, i'm in for a long winter

hump day

yup it's wednesday aka hump day. i never got why pps referred to it as thus but it makes sense now. not quite tues or thurs just in the middle like a hump.

sigh

not sure what to do with myself of late i'm so restless. i know that there is stuff that i could/should be doing here at work but i just can't seem to muster up the energy to do it. i started to sort through some files this morning and almost fell asleep so i gave that up and don't want to touch it again today as it's now like 3-4pm and that's so nappy time for me without doing something totally boring and mundane.

so i changed my template figured it was time for a change. i really like the green it's kinda soothing. oh and i finally figured out how to do links! so cool and rather impressed with myself!

looking forward to LOST again tonight. pretty bad when all you look forward to in life is a few t.v. shows.

planning to take dogs for a walk tonight when i get home as the weather turned out to be really quite nice and warm today. mind you when i get home i'll probably be unable to move from the couch but it's nice to think that i will............

anyways. not much else going on right now life is pretty boring.

i'm out

Tuesday, September 27, 2005

mumblings and grumblings

there are just some songs that need to be band from radio. want some examples?

here goes:

hey ya - outkast ~ man did i love this song when it first came out. shake it like a poloroid picture....then local stations picked it up like the end of summer and played it and played it. they still play at least twice a day and one of the radio host picked up this song except with different words in reference to hillbillies and it's sooooo annoying beyond words. hate it must go!!

old school love - divine brown ~ i never ever liked this song. hate it. yet they play it over and over. grates on my last nerves.

crazy in love - beyonce ~ they just love to ruin a good song don't they again overplayed waaaaaayyy to much. cannot stand it anymore.

crapbucket - k-os ~ now normally i enjoy k-os and i digged this song at first but again enough already, mabye i should be emailing our local radio station?? like they would listen.

have a nice day - bon jovi ~ first time i heard it i hate it. second time no better. they play this like 4 times a day. wrong on so many levels plus i don't like bon jovi (well he's hot but there song's suck).

matchbox twenty and or the lead singer, was his name?? hate them hate there songs. pls don't play them no more.

other forms of irritation today:

i was given the job to make up some flyers for work which i don't mind doing love it in fact but having to cut them up with the thing (you know from grade school that the teacher's use) where you line them up and cut them in half with the huge blade....? am i making sense? probably not oh well, anyways i hate these and i mean hate this piece of office equipment. every time i cut a piece of paper it's crooked even though i'm lining it up with the lines on my paper and the lines on the piece of crap. crooked. grrrr no wonder my eye is twitching. plus to make matters worse this machine has haunted me from my first admin job as my old boss was such a precise/picky ass and lectured me several times on how to keep it straight, blah blah blah. it's a piece of paper who cares????!!!!!! so now every time i use this stupid thing (what's the proper name anyone??) i think of that bastard. and again anger rises within me and my eye twitch's.

i have no wardrobe and desperatly need to go shopping for pants espically since my waistline is not going to be diminishing anytime soon. not only is that an issue but i have no hip/trendy clothes. they are all just blah or old looking as i have had them for like 5 years. must go shopping will hopefully go this sat if i can get someone to go with. only problem is i will have to use credit card as i'm poor and this only makes me more depressed. sigh. it never ends. but i have to have new clothes, i must!

can you believe it's the end of september already? where the heck did the summer and time go? i'm having a major issue adjusting to the new weather and waking up in the dark in the mornings is not fun. so cannot get my ass out of bed in the mornings.........

praying that my old piece of crap car will get me through the winter. hey better yet pray for me i'm sure it's a death trap. it rattles and shakes and vibrates and goes it. i'm sure something will brake in the next month or two it's been awhile since something has happend.

cold, wet, damp ~ ucky monday

monday again. ugh!!! how i hate monday's.

not only is this monday crappy enough it's rainy, windy, damp and cold.

now that i mention it not only do i hate monday's but i hate fall. because you see fall leads to winter and that does not make me happy. another thing that does not make me happy is "hunting" season which has begun. everywhere you look (trust me you don't have to look hard in my area) you see men in trucks everywhere sporting the lovely fashionable hunter's orange hats and camoflauge jackets, pants and boots too! oh how fun!!

so the boys got there big old bull moose ~ how exciting!!!!!!! not. how bout how disgusting. poor little ole moosey, well okay he wasn't little but you get my drift. i just don't agree with the whole hunting thing i mean it's not like we have to hunt now-a-days to live/eat do we? were not in the olden days anymore so why slaughter an animal for it's antlers and what little meat you get off of it? "it's a sport" my hubby says. blah blah blah. i hate it. he loves it. something i'm going to have to get over and used to i'm afraid. still doesn't mean i have to like it though.

so i spent my weekend alone. doing nothing for once and ahhhh the peace and quiet. so nice to have a break for a change.

my mom's b-day was yesterday so we all got together for dinner & b-day cake. mmmmm chocolate cake. yum yum. it's also my cousin tommy's b-day today. so happy birthday to him!

well not much else new really have nothing funny or amuzing to write today it's just so BLAH. don't wanna be working today rather be home curled up in bed, ah well the things we do to earn a dollar.

all about Me

i hold my pen wrong and everyone always comments on it, my grade four teacher Mrs. Farrell used to come around the classroom watching everyone as they worked and she would always tap my desk with her ruler and say "your not holding your pencil properly". if only she could see me today!

i have asthma and was really quite sickly as a child, in and out of the hospital having allergy tests and on an aersol machine until i was a teenager. i still have it but i tell myself that i don't and most times i'm fine except when my allergies flair up or when it's really cold i always cough.

i give blood every 2-3 months as i have a rare blood type.

i wish that i could have lived through the original 1969 Woodstock concert. i love this era and i truly belive that i am reincarnated from this time as i love the music, fashion, the whole vibe of it all as everything was changing.

i am very insecure and have no self confidence in myself and i constantly compare myself with others which sucks and i wish i would stop doing it.

i have an uncanny resemblance to my late grandmother it's eerie as i kid everyone would tell me this and i would get so embarssed and mad as i just wanted to be me but now that she's gone i truly feel honored and even closer to her. i miss her terribly and think of her everyday.

i was quiet and shy all through elementary school and had very few friends. even to this day i take awhile to warm up to people and talk to them. not so much shy i just don't talk all that much to pps i don't know. i'm very much like my dad in this way.

as stated above i resemble my dad's mom and have my dad's nose but i have all of my mother's personality traits. i was first very disturbed by this revalation (nobody wants to act like their mom) but i've grown used to it and really who else in the world would i want to be like anyways.

im not religous and do not go to church but i do believe that there is something BIGGER guiding us. i just don't feel you have to sit in church to show your beliefs. you can meditate, walk in the woods, lock yourself in a room to think, whatever it may be you can still be spirtual without going to church.

i've also never read the bible and hardly know anything about it.

i feel really bad for saying all this but it's how i feel (i'm so going to hell!)

my most embarssing moment happend when i was in grade seven. it was at a school dance and i finally got up enough nerve to ask the guy that i liked and whom i liked from like grade 4 thru grade 8 to dance. so we danced and i was in absolte heaven the whole time and then the song is over and we break apart and he's walking away when another girl (much older) comes over and pulls me aside to tell me that i have "something" on the back of my pants. i immediately run to the bathroom to discover that i had started my period (which i only started at the beginning of that year) and i was soaked right through my jeans. i had a huge red blob on my ass and i did not want to leave that bathroom. luckily in my haste to run to the bathroom i had grabbed my coat and i tied it around my waist to slink back into the dance. i sat in the corner the rest of the evening and prayed for it to be over. to this day i don't know if he ever knew but i'm sure he did and of course he never ever liked me there was always someone prettier or cooler, i don't even know if he knew that i liked him.

i was always jealous of my older sister. she was smarter much smarter and so pretty she could be a model cause she's tall and just so amazing. i finally got over this when she went to college but all thru high school i was so jealous.

my favorite color's are purple and blue

my favorite seasome street character's were ernie, oscar and grover he's way cooler than elmo

i love my mom's apple pie

i hate to buy groceries and i always spend way to much money as i'm not a "smart" shopper and i don't look for the best buy.

i've never had the chicken pocks and now i'm terrified to get them.

i'm really, really missing jilly and hope she is doing well in the big city.

i'm out have a good weekend pps!! :)
