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.

Halloween funny

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.

bowling, turkey and more rain

that about sums up my weekend! ha ha

so on saturday hubby and i wen't bowling with jilly & "m". pretty good time we laughed a lot espically when i almost went face first down the alley way. yeah that was fun....! and man do i ever suck like gutter ball everytime. sad. but it was good times much better than sitting at home feeling sorry for myself. so now my ass hurtz! like really i'm still sore from sat nite. how sad is that. i'm so out of shape. :(

what's next....oh yeah turkey!

where mom & dad were away for thanksgiving they decided to have turkey and all that good stuff yesterday. yum :) that made me happy & everyone got together that mattered which was nice. afterwords we all had a mini makeover party doing nails and jilly plucked my man brows for me and they look so much better! thanks jilly :) i just can't seem to do them myself so it's nice to hae someone do them for you.

and last but not least rain. oh the rain. will you ever go away? now we are supposed to get heavy rain from hurricane wilma tommorrow night. nice. i don't think the ground could be any more saturated. yuck. how i hate rain. i don't mind if it rains a little but gish this is crazy, i think it's going to rain all week. uck!

hope everyone else is having a peachy monday

dreadful pissy ass monday how i hate thee

the "Graham" Clan

ok, this is the last one that i have in my resources for now (i'm so going home and playing with the camera!)

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 :)

here's another!

here's another wedding pic. i love this one as i feel like cleopatra or marilyn monroe in diamonds are a girls best friends (or whatever that movie is called all i remember is the song she sings...)

anyways, from left to right are hubbies two brother's Travis, Jonathan, hubby, best friends Lee, Benji (whose also holding my flowers) and the best man Jamie

look what i can do!!!

omg i actually posted a pic on here! i'm so proud of myself!

so as you can see this is a pic of hubby and me (pls note that hubby is extremely loaded at this point so his eyes are bugged out of his head.....) on our wedding day (August 23, 2003) 2 years ago. my how time flies....

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!!
