back to reality....

dang it all to hell I'm back, and it's freezing, and to top that off it's snowing! god hates me i know it...

anyways

i had a super fantastic time, so did not want to come home (well OK maybe a little, i did miss the hubs and my pets..), i LOVE, LOVE love JAMAICA and there people. there so laid back and easy going i wish i could be more like that the first few days i was obsessed with Bob Marley music and now i cannot stand to listen to one song....

so in my typical fashion here's a break down of my trip (pics to follow), I'll start with the lows:

Lows

- 6 of us in a van packed full of our luggage (we way over packed, so stupid, will know better for next time) and only 1 hr or so on the road we break down...
- me sicker than a dog during drive to Halifax and the flight to Jamaica, i also probably spread the plague to everyone on the plane
- discovering that the resort we were staying at included kids
- the beach, very disappointing at our resort, very rocky w/seaweed not what i had imagined but still a beach nothing less
- the room was OK, i know you shouldn't expect much but other rooms had bugs and Mold, not nice, thankfully we didn't spend much time there and at least the sheets were clean and fresh everyday
- flip flopping on what to do for "excursions"
- not enough beach chairs, or better yet being pissed off at pps that marked there chairs with towels and then either a)not coming back or b)come back 4 hours later....should be 1st come 1st served, this really ticked me off
- upbraiding my hair, so should not have done this, i only did the front portion thinking i would like it and frankly i hated it and it only stayed in a day and a half, was not fun taking out the beads AT ALL, do not recommend anyone to do this
- Rick's Cafe, did. not.enjoy, way to many people for my liking, could've just been that i was over tired and cranky but i wasn't digging it
- bus ride from hell, on our return trip from Negril late at night, driving on the wrong side of the road (which is there right..) on windy, twisty roads, thought i was going to die, or puke and throw in some nasty, nasty reggae music which i have never heard of i wanted to punch someone in the face
- having to come home and having to wait at the Jamaica airport for an hour + in no air conditioning, i seriously thought i was melting, so freakin hot
- having to sit by a smelly, shady man on the way home who reaked of alcohol and smelled like stinky cigars, he totally was trying to make conversation and i just ignored him...

Highs

- Jamaica people!
- sunshine, and hot hot hot
- rum punch and lot's of it
- my discovery of Jamaica Delight's (pineapple juice, lime juice, apricot brandy and rum of course!) so YUMMY!
- our tubing excursion where we discovered that Harry Connick Junior was on our tour. seriously. Harry Connick Junior! 1st celeb siting for me, pretty cool i must say
- having a big sexy black man hit on me while on tubing excursion and having the whole crew of our tour guides call me beyonce, not sure why, but i loved it
- swinging from a rope and droping into the river
- purchasing goods from pps (aka Rasta men which is what i call them cuz i like it) out in the water
- our trip to Negril, the beach there is Amazing! wish i would've been there all week
- all the sexy black men, everywhere
- laying on the beach all day catching the "rays"
- the food, omg the food, was so good
- me loaning mom $2 and her winning like $15+ from a slot machine, too funny, coins were flying out everywhere
- the entertainment, most nights i didn't enjoy but 1 night it was just amazing, it was dancing and drums from Africa, unbelievable, i loved every second and didn't want it to end
- my cousin Pete's wedding was beautiful
- more rum drinks
- lot's of laughs

leavin on a jet plane

ok, so i don't technically leave until sunday afternoon for sunny Montego Bay, Jamaica but this will be my last time posting for probably like over a week

so long
farewell
i
hope
we
meet
again!

Goodbye :P

oh and happy freakin Friday everybody!!! hope everyone has a fantastic weekend

Burnt

god i'm such a knob sometimes...

so i'm leaving for Jamaica like in 4 freakin days!!!!!!! so in preparation i've been going "tanning" so i don't get down there and burn my sorry ass and end up runing my vacation. now i love tanning, i would go year round if we could afford it, yes i know it's bad for you but frankly i don't care, i look forward to it, it relax's me and yeah i'll probably end up with skin cancer, but i.don't.care.

anyways, i lost my train of tought...

oh right, tanning, so i've had like 6 sessions in the same bed, no burns was doing fine and was up to the 20 minutes. last night however a stupid dumb ass biatch was working and i was in a new bed and guess what? she put me in for the full 20 minutes, didn't ask me if i'd been in that bed before, didn't ask or tell me it was a hotter bed, therefore, you guessed it, i'm BURNT, and quite badly too actually, one of my co-workers just said i looked like a red racacoon.....and i'd laugh or cry but frankly i think it would hurt too badly, and it hurts when i bloody smile, sigh. and every freaking part of me hurts, because it's Burnt! my legs, Burnt. my flabby abs, Burnt. my ASS, Burnt!!! you get my drift.....so now i have to cancel tonights appt, and quite possibly tomorrows as well, but hey on the positive side perhaps it's better to be burnt now than when i'm on vacation, and usually my burns turn into an awsome tan....so i guess i'll take the jokes and backhanded comments about my appearance.

also in typical fashion i'm so getting sick. this always, always happens to me i swear! i woke up yesterday with a sore throat and it's still there! and i'm coughing and sneezing, this had so better be gone before sunday

do a little dance

sweet it's finally, finally friday!

not much new to report really, been another crazy ass week fer sure. i've finally been moved (actually on my own request) down to the dungeon here at work, it was just not making any sense for me to be down here all day anyways and not have my stuff from my office here, so i moved. and it's really really different but i think it's going to be good

also i get exercise from running up and down the stairs all the time, so i'll have a firm ass in no time!! haha i wish, but it's got to be to some benefit....

what else is new...

drawing a blank on that one, sorry folks!

happy friday and better yet Happy St. Patty's day!!! hope u all get ur drunk on (i sure intend to)

i did it!!!

sorry for the total blogger neglect ya'll but i've been crazy ass busy, and you'll see why in a minute....

ok

screw it i can't wait

i'm going to Jamaica!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, you heard me right, and from my previous rant from last week you may recall me claiming that i couldn't go, well i found a loop hole, turns out you can go to either Jamaica or the Dominican Republic with just your birth certificate and valaid photo id, from Jamaica.com:

US and Canadian citizens must show proof of citizenship. A passport is not required but is highly recommended. Photo I.D. and birth certificate are acceptable. U.K. citizens must have a passport.

so now i'm freakin out cuz i have only 2 wks before i go, a million things are running thru my poor little brain, such as tanning sessions, packing, getting a shot so i don't get Hep A., how much money this is costing me and the list goes on...

i still don't really think it's sunk in completely though and it probably won't until i'm boarding the plane

anyways moving onto other news in my world, you thought i forgot all about my little experience last week didn't you??

ok first of all, I love it! i have no regrets what-so-ever of doing it, sure i almost fled from the building at one point before hand as i was practically hyper-ventilating but it was so worth it

2ndly it hurtz, i'm not going to lie, other spots more than other's, but honestly if we can give birth (which i have yet to do) i would consider this barely minimal, and it goes numb, so you can't even feel it after awhile, and sure it's somewhat embarassing to flash your hoo hoo to some stranger (the spa i went to offered disposable undies), but heck they are used to it and i'm sure they see lot's of women and we all have the same thing so what's so wrong with it? if you can get past that then your fine (it also helps having a buddy system, i don't think i could've gone thru with it if i hadn't had my co-worker there). an even bigger bonus is that it's spruced up life in the bedroom if you know what i mean. wink. wink.

that's all i got, what's new with you? i need to catch up with u all

shaking in my panties

quite literally too

you see me being such a great friend and all i voulenteered to go with a fellow c0-worker tomorrow to (gasp!) have a brazilian wax done, well down there and at first i was all gung ho and sort of excited i mean what girl hasn't considered having it done? no more shaving, no more lovely razor burns sounds perfect right???

but now a small little factor has come into play

ahem

PAIN

pain and i don't get along very well, in fact i'm more scared of it than showing some complete stranger my hoo hoo

and every time i tell someone i'm getting it done the expression of horror/terror on there face is enough to send me running

and the more i think and dwell on this the more i don't want to do it.....although it's pretty bad down there right now and i don't mean to gross you all out but i think someone could get lost down there in all the "bush", so on that aspect i am eager to see what the results will be and surely it can't be that bad......right?

so i'm curious have any of my fellow readers ever partaken in this?

smackin myself in the head

you know i never would've used to admit to myself that i was a procrastinator but this latest "incident" takes the cake, totally, in fact it almost makes me sick to my stomache.....but first i have to go back to the beginning when all this sort of started rolling

just picture it ok

months and months ago (probably more like a year but you get my drift) my dear sweet cousin and her fiance talked about going away to get married, they set a date and i obtained my passport application for both the hubs and i, began filling it out and several weeks later actually had it completed and my mother was going to submit it along with hers. simple right?

well, no

turns out we had some misstakes and needed to make changes. easy enough?

again, no

then comes to find out that they are putting the wedding off for now and i just mentally (and physically) sort of just stored this away and every now and then i would think "oh i should do that".......well i didn't. then after Christmas it became mandatory for all Canadians flying into the States to have a passport and everyone and there damn dog was filing for a passport and again that little voice pipes up "flea u should send yours in" and again i didn't, even when we sort of thought about possibly going away this spring i didn't

finally that little voice ate at me enough to make the changes and send in my application the 2nd week of February by mail (why i didn't do it in person is beyond me...), knowing it would at least be a month + before getting it back but heck at least i finally sent it right

wrong

come to find out my mom and dad are jumping in with another cousins (not the same one mentioned above) wedding in Jamaica, freaking Jamaica!!!!!!! which i was cool with and happy for, yeah i would've liked to go but it just wasn't in the cards this time

wrong again

not only are my mom and dad going but now another aunt and the said cousin who was planning on getting married away are also going, kicking that jealousy notch up even higher

and now i'm really hating myself, why, WHY couldn't i have gotten off my ass and done this like months ago??!!!

and to make it worse everyone keeps saying well if only you had your passport!!!!!!!

UGH!!!!!!!!

guess you could say i learned my lesson :(

at Last!!!

it's Friday!!!!!!!

never in my life have i ever been happier to see today come, it's been a crazy, crazy week and i'm looking forward to the weekend, laying back relaxing and reading a good book (or two)

even though i have been busy this week doing a fellow co-workers work while she's away it's been deadly quiet at the office, in fact there is only like 5 people in today, everyone else is either off for next weeks march break or just not in

so not only was i doing one co-workers work i'm also covering today for another co-worker who took the afternoon off. sigh. i'm so under-appreciated here

and

were getting a freaking A 1 storm here, heavy, heavy snowfall warning in effect along with "gusting" winds and all that jazz so i think i'm outta here at least an hour early fer sure (possibly sooner, cross your fingers)

so that's all that's happening with me, sad eh

anyways happy friday :P

can i have a moment please

holy cow, i've been well, sort of hectic and crazy All day today, like what the hell and where did that come from after yesterday's painfully boring day here at the dreaded office. not only am i covering for a fellow co-worker whose on vacation for 2 weeks (in Sunny Florida none the less) and her work is hard complicated stuff and i'm terribly afraid i'll muck it all up and make a complete mess of it......ack! so i'm going to be super busy the next few days which will probably mean a lack of posts here but never fear i'll still lurk and or post when i have a moment

also the hubs is sick. he never, ever gets sick. and when he does get sick it's the freakin end of the world, honestly. whine whine, sniff sniff, cough cough, sigh and guess what i think i'm also coming down with whatever bug he's caught and trying to not dwell or think about it but having a very difficult time with that....happy thoughts, happy thoughts

anyways, i hope to eventually get around to posting my best dressed list hopefully before the end of the week

peace out :P

The Oscars fashion run down (the BAD!)

even though it's still fairly early and i've yet to see all the photo's i can possibly see, here are a few of the bad to really bad fashion choices (in my opinion anyways) from last night's show

* new updates *



ok, i at first was torn, yes this is a somewhat nice dress, except for the big ass fugly bow by her neck, i love the color red but that's about where this ends. now if you were to say google Nicole Kidman from about 10 years ago on the oscars you would discover that she was at one time human and quite beautiful but something has severely gone wrong with her these last few years, that gangly godawful blonde hair for one (miss her red days), and her pinched pained face for another, and how she continues to just wither away and that you could probably snap her in half just like a twig also doesn't help...now the girl in the background in the red dress i much prefer...







oh gweneth where has thee gone wrong? at first glance from a further distance i truly liked this dress but again the hair!! what's up with you and nicole anyways are you trying to compeat or something? gah!! for the love of god put it back!!!!!! PLEASE! ok focus, back to the dress......i like the vintage thing you are going for her but something is quite wrong with the top, i can't quite pinpoint what it could possibly be....oh perhaps that it's SEE THROUGH! and that GODAWFUL hair! from the waist down i actually like this dress...how sad is that??












again i hesitated on this one, at first i liked, and then i remembered that i wasn't that big on cameron and her fashion choices and then someone pointed out that this is a bad 80's prom dress and that about hits it on the head, and why does she continiousily choose to wear white? for someone that swears up and down that she doesn't wish to ever be married she's sure sending us the wrong signals











oh Kiki, why, why must you do this to yourself? this is so not a flattering dress or color for you, and the hair....and better yet the feathers! honestly what on earth possesed you to leave the house like this, see those women in the background laughing, yeah , they are laughing at you. you could really pass for casper's long lost sister here, and omg is the bottome of this thing see through!!!!! GAAAA! OMG i was just informed that Kujo on Entertainment Tonight selected miss kiki as one of his best dressed!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRAZY!










next up is divalicious Jennfier Hudson, i love you to death really i do, and kudos for snagging the Oscar for best supporting actress and i know you wen't all out and even hired the "big guy" from vogue (drawing a blank as to what his name is..) to help you find the perfect outfit, and really i have no complaints about the dress, love the color and style, but what, What is up with that futuristic silvery thing with the scary ass coller? is it cold in hollywood? i. don't. think. so. so why is this piece necessary? and thank god you lost it once inside, everything else though is well perfect and your much better off then some of the others here but i still had to ding you for that fugly nasty jacket thingy







sorry for Perez's notes/squibbles on this but it was the only photo i found with the back of this dress (perezhilton.com), and you need to have both to truly get the total fugliness of this monstrosity. oh Anne you are so pretty so why, why?! not one but Two bows? sigh. one would think where you were in a movie about fashion that you would've learned a thing or two (obiviouisly not), major thumbs down












next up is Jodi Foster, where the hell has she been the last 10 years? love her from the neck up, her hair and makeup looks fab, and i really do like the color of this gown but that's about where my kindness ends. who decided to place the fabric draping (and that's what this resembles) down from her bust? in fact if this wasn't there i would probably be ok, except for mabye the halter neck, oh and the small belt....she looks to be in great shape though....











i lately wen't on a rant about how inhuman John Travaolta looks, but what i'm more focused on here besides his nasty ass hair (ahem plugs) is what his darling wife Kelly Preston has adjorned. is she pregnant? is she trying a new mating ritual? lepoard print? ick. and better yet to wear it to the Oscars of all places? give your head a shake. could not possibly be any more unflattering, and it shows all your womenly flaws that we all want to hide as women, in fact i almost feel more sorry for you than making fun of you










oh my goodness who or better yet why are we still letting these two attend these awards? i personally cannot stand either one, and for them to judge people and what they where should not be allowed as just look what they pull out of there closets ~shudders~ i almost can't bear to look at it, all i see is bad hair, bad wardrobe and teeth, oh and fake fur (at least i hope it is fake)

liar liar pants on fire!

so i got this one from over at beth's blog and it got me thinking could i actually pull this off too....and i'm bored and don't want to do any work this afternoon so the game is for your to detect which one of the below is the lie, and yes there's only one

scenario #1

after graduating high school i seriouisly contemplated on going to a city (Montreal) and becomming a stripper, i had the body, i could dance and better yet i loved to dance, i had a name and everything (eve) but alas i chickened out and have since regreted my decision and often wondered where i would be and how my life would've been had i taken that route but i didn't and shortly thereafter met the future hubs and the rest is well history

scenario #2

quite often as a tween/teen i would sneak into my parents bedroom and swipe money from my dad's coin jar "toonies" and "loonies" (this is canada's $2 and $1 coins) so did not stand a chance, and i often would buy my snacks the next day at lunch with this said loot, to this day i'm not sure if he knows i did this or not...

scenario #3

when i was 17 my parents let me have the car for the day as my best friend and i were planning on taking resumes to town after school, at noon hour someone had the bright idea that we should all go "cruising" in my car. somehow 7 people ended up in that good old chevy cavalier along with 2 people in the trunk, while we drove back and forth and back and forth thru town going 100 kph. my uncle and grandfather caught me and i was banned from having the car for a year, the school even brought in the RC's (RCMP aka Canadian police) to lecture me on reckless driving i almost even lost my license

scenario #4

a while ago a fellow co-worker and i began what i would call casual flirtations which progressed in full throtle outrageous flirtations and i was seriouisly crushing even though both of us were committed to someone else. we were both at our office christmas party without our better halves and the chemistry throughout the night was so intense, i had goose bumps everytime he would come near me and several drinks later we just could not stop staring at each other, i finally broke eye contact and said i had to get some air, little did i realize that he followed me outside, the next thing i knew we were kissing and we had sex in his car (twice) and then proceeded to go back inside like nothing ever happend

scenario #5

this one time after the future hubs and i finished well you know, while parking hubs dared me to run around the said area naked and me never being one to back down from a dare proceeded to do it (did i mention it was snowing...uh no but it totally was), once making my naked jaunt i rushed back to the truck only to discover that he had locked me out, so now i'm naked and standing in the snow yelling for all to hear, he finally let's me in laughing and i punch him end of story, only now you all know i streaked.......or did i???

which is the lie?

*find out after the jump!

the last O.C.! (sob)

so it's Thursday, 1 more day to go then it's the weekend!

but there's a sad twinge in my heart as tonight also means that one of my fav shows is coming to an end.

yes it's true

no more seth & summer

no more julie cooper

no more ryan, taylor, sandy and kristen....

i've loved this show from the start and i'm going to hate, hate letting it go, but all good things must come to an end, and some day when i'm able i will have every season on dvd so i can watch them over and over again

you can bet your bottom doller though that i'll be bawling my eyes out and quite possibly eat a whole pan of brownies (there low fat and don't have frosting so that's no where near as fatening...wouldn't you say?) in the process, as the two just go hand in hand. don't u think?

Look OUT! full fledged rant fest ahead

so you know how back at the 1st of January my co-workers and I started a Biggest Loser Challengs (aka BLC), well today was our 44th day or something (our halfway point), and we had to weigh and measure ourselves (yipee) made 10 times worse for me as not only am i severely bloated but i'm sure i'm retaining water like a hippo

in fact i feel like a hippo

and no surprize i'm up 2 freaking pounds

course eating those doritos and frozen yogart over the weekend probably didn't help matters but still.....2 pounds!!!!!

grr

oh and did i mention i'm on the "loser" team, and not the loser in a good sense. my team is seriousily lacking in the MoJO department and just can't seem to be bothered, sure we try to watch what we eat and do some moderate exercises but the other team is really kicking our ass and losing major weight, and me being the team leader should be trying to hold us together but Meh

so now i'm depressed and wanting to eat chocolate or basically whatever i can get my hands on

so ontop of that, i'm cranky and freaking Tired, why am i always so tired?

and i forgot to mention that i have the wurst, Wurst cramps ever, EVER!!

and i'm achey

u know what i blame it on the weather and the time of year, April cannot possibly get here fast enough

also work sucks, just had to stick that in there too

just another super fantastic peachy keen day wouldn't you say?

this week is totally ruined

the Amazing Race Baby!!

more importantly


TWO WORDS PEOPLE!!!!!!!

Rob & Amber

not only are they back, but they kicked royal Ass last night and managed to come in 1st, let's hope there string of luck continues and that they don't get booted off the show anytime soon. God i love these two, and more importantly it's great GD reality t.v.

i loved them in Survivor and i loved them 2 years ago when they 1st ran the race (him more than her, but i've grown to like her too), just how much to i love these two? i watched their wedding on t.v. and cried, yes i CRIED! and no i'm not ashamed, well mabye a little but not really......

and i can't wait til next weeks show!!! hee!!!!!!!

Friday Freeplay

yet another Friday (what a long week it has been, even though yesterday was a snow day for me was way to nasty to venture out on the roads for my liking), anyways, here's what i've been listening too lately

Glamorous - by miss Fergie Fergie (i've got the vid on my sidebar)

What goes around come around - Justin Timberlake

Fix You - Coldplay

Icebox - Omarion ft Timberland

Why - Annie Lennox

hope everyone has a steller friday!

peace out :P

Snowy Snow Snow

yup, you guessed it i'm also being hit with this snow storm

now i don't mind snow

at least that is until i actually have to drive home in it.....

which i'm dreading

but it does make for a very cozy romantic V. Day now doesn't it, all bundled up warm and cozy in your home with your loved one......

GAG me

god how i hate valentines day

and i'm married

have nothing else really to report other than i'm looking forward to LOST tonight and mabye eating a chocloate or two.....

peace out :P

Grammy Fashion Run Down (the Bad)

ah, yet another fab fantastic award show (how many more do we have left?? god i hope not many....)

the 2007 Grammys people!! woot woot

actually it was quite drab and (gasp!) boring! what has happend to this show back when i was a kid (i really mean teenager) this show was the most awsome thing around.....where are the heavy rock bands that are drunk and on stage cursing (GNR can u hear me??), where are the steller live performances? and sadly even the fasion wasn't that appealing to me, in fact i only lasted 3o minutes people and i threw in the towel and wen't to bed. sad. just plain sad.

from what i did see in those 30 minutes, i saw the Police re-unite, was meh, ok to say the least, i saw JT perform and the dixie chicks and that's about it (hubs was manning the remote and flicking back and forth between that and American Choppers...) anyways, i still couldn't help make fun of the sad people who should know better than to leave the house looking like they did...

so here's my pics for the wurst dressed of the evening:


Whoa Nelly!

are you channeling She-Ra here? i really don't get this whole look, and honestly why, WHY is it every time someone takes your pic you have to either pout or make some weird ass facial expression (almost like you have to go #2 if you ask me), trust me it's not sexy

i do somewhat almost like the detailing around your bra and before actually scrolling down further and seeing the remaining tatters of your dress i was thinking hmm not bad and then OMG! this is so nasty beyond words and in fact i can't stand to look at it anymore so i'm moving on








next up is the duffster, or aka Hilary Duff

what the heck has happend to you?

you used to be so cute and bubbly and happy and normal looking, i don't know what the hell you are trying to prove (yes i get that you are growing up and all...but geesh) with this whole rock look you got going on and you hair looks like, well, like you stuck your finger in an electical outlet to be honest and the dress.....ick all i see is shiny and lace and you all know how much i hate, HATE shiny people. that and it also resembles fish scales which cannot possibly be a good thing

on a side not i luv your shoes and the cute little knee bend!





ugh

her again, and again and again, can't she go away already?

do you have any idea how much i disslike Carrie Underwood? well if you didn't now ya do!

for a second there i thought i had been re-directed to that lady that makes wax statues for famous pps and has them in a musem....what's her name.....anyways, she looks fake, like wax and not human. i think she's a robot or an alien sent from above just to irritate the beejeebsus out of me. cannot. stand. her.

i'll leave it at that

and her dress looks like shiny puke, shiny grey pukey matter

FUGLY!!!



oh great, another wax figure

hold up, wait a minute!

It's Beyonce!!!

now at first i sort of dug this dress, it's different and unique and more importantly looks really, really expensive

but the more i looked at it (and her shitty ass hair extensions), the more i hated it

one too many folds and buckles if you ask me

but i still really dig the color





and lastly

quite possibly the worst thing i have ever seen in my life, but then again what do you expect from a women that's name is Imogen Heap?

i'm not sure if she's on crack or if someone dared her to go like this, cuz there is no way i would leave my house like this unless it was halloween and even then i'm not so sure......

perhaps she is trying to hypnotize us with her umbrella, or the fugly flower like thingys on her dress

who knows?

i do know this, it's a whole lotta fug

at last it's Friday!

i would resort to a happy dance in my chair but i will refrain myself....

what an interesting week it has been, i'm still reeling over Anna Nicole's death yesterday, i mean you know it was inevitable but still you held out hope. i've been reading lots of articles and the one on msn sumed it up the best, why were we so facinated with her? she was a train wreck and i think the instinct in all of us was for someone to help her get her life on track, sadly, that never happend....i'm sure will be hearing lots more on this over the next several months and years

it's still bitterly cold here in my corner of the woods and i'm so sick of the cold and wishing that i could go away some palace warm and sip one of those fruity alcoholic drinks.....ah one can dream though can't they?

what did everyone make of LOST the other night? would like to here what other's thought

only 2 more episodes of the O.C i'm actually quite sad about this and i'm sure i'll bawl my head off during the final show

and that's about all i got for today, i'm looking forward to having a lazy weekend with some housework in there as my house is terribly dirty and i have tons of laundry to do

stay safe and stay warm ~ brrrrrr~ it's freaking cold out there!

goodbye Anna Nicole, goodbye

as some of you may or may not yet know (i'm sure you do), Anna Nicole Smith has passed away today. despite all the jokes, the puns and her wacked out life, she was a person, she has a family, a 5 month old daughter who will never know her mother.....

so i'd like to take a moment and say rest in peace Anna Nicole and pause and remember you back in the day when you looked normal and beautiful (and not on drugs and or TrimSpa,ooops that was a bad and not really funny...)

what the frock happend to John Travolta?!

did anyone else see Oprah last night? and did anyone else just happen to notice how freaky JT looked? or was it just me? comparing him to Tim Allen and William H. Macy he looked almost in-human.....

he looked a little too worked on, the hair (plugs i'm sure), the face (one to many nip/tucks) he was shiny people, SHINY!! honestly i was sort of frightened. now i love JT (Grease is my all time fav) but why, WHY submit us and yourself to this can't you age gracefully? guess he's yet another victim of Hollywood...

in other news i'm doing better mentally, it's been a battle

i've been super stressed, over tired, cranky and having major headaches, so in lieu of all this i decided to take yesterday off as a "sick" day aka a mental health day. do i feel guilty. no. well mabye a little. and i have not been feeling great so in a way i was sick and i am sort of stuffed up and could very well be coming down with a cold, but they don't need to know that....

also my biggest loser challenge is still going strong, although i have yet to lose any weight (and i probably won't i think i've peaked) but, i'm still doing exercises at least 3-4 times a week and i do feel better, things feel tighter and even some pants are fiting me better! mind u i haven't really changed my eating pattern but i do write down everything i eat, and i don't eat after 7 that is one rule i stick too. my goal is to lose at least 10 pounds, so hopefully....but if not i would be happy to just be toned up and turn that fat into muscle. buh bye fat!!

that's really all that's new with me, just trudging along singing my same old song....

i just want to thank everyone for the kind helpful words of encouragement in my previous post i never got around to responding to you all

til we meet again :P

isn't it funny...

how you meet somebody or more so "know" of them and then they continue to pop up randomly over the years, and you think oh yeah i knew her back in _____ and _______ and you just continue on your merry way, and then the next time you hear of this said person it's not good news at all

in fact it's terrible news

finding out that this person, who i've known of but never actually knew has been killed in a car accident is a low blow. i'm not sure why. what made her have such a lasting impression on me, i know i was severely jealous and envious of her as she was super cute, skinny and she seemed to have everything, but i never knew her (if i had known her i would've known that she was battling cancer that first time i met her and that in fact she didn't have everything) and i'm sure she never remembered me. so why would it effect me so, i mean sure it's really sad and devastating as she had 3 kids and was only 33 i mean 33!! like that's just wrong to die so young with so much ahead of you, and i mean it could happen to anyone, anytime any place, but i keep coming back as to why it's really upsetting me and i keep coming back to nothing

i personally believe that everything happens for a purpose and or reason, or that it's all mapped out and were on the moving track doing what we are "ment" to do. perhaps she was ment to keep popping up in my life over the years, was it coincidence that she just so happended to have worked with my cousin, was it coincidence that we voulenteered our time at a local charity/auction one night, or that she used to go to my hairdresser???

just plain weird and funny but not like haha funny

i've been doing the same thing that i did when a close friend of mine was killed at such a young age, i imagine myself waking up in the morning, dreading my day, looking forward to watching Ugly Betty or whatever and just doing my typical mundane things that i do every day, not knowing that it's my last day, not knowing i won't see my loved ones again. i often wonder what goes thru there minds in that last instant, what did they see/feel? did they know they were going to die? i think this is what haunts me most. i never used to be scared of death but as i'm getting older, the realization sinks in that we are not imortal, we aren't here forever and we should savor the time we are here

lame but true

stay safe ~ peace out :P

it's a new day

no more whining, bitching, rantings, complainings whatever's about work related stuff...

i'm stickig to what's important:

my health & happiness
staying close to loved ones and friends
being positive and not dwelling on the negatives in life (ahem work)
not worrying about things that i cannot control

it's a new day and a new attitude

blah blah blah and oh yeah blah!

so my life is a wee bit chaotic and anxiety filled lately, not sure why, oh wait i do know why it's all connected to work.

u see about 2 wks ago it was casually mentioned that "hey, we don't currently feel that your living up to your potential so were going to move you to the dungeon aka downstairs, to another department where we feel u are better suited", thus leaving me highly confused and a little excited as i initally from the start wished to be in this position where they are moving me too, but yet at the same time hurt. make sense? probably not, but over that week my emotions were/are in turmoil and after that 1st brief encounter nobody has said boo to me about anything, thus my anxiety runs full throttle and i've become parnoid and a bit resentful. so finally about a 1 1/2 later i can't stand it anymore and corner my supervisor and ask wtf is up. i wanted to cry, scream as all these emotions needed to come out. although he couldn't really provide me with any more info than what i already knew it did somewhat make me feel better, and i do get a somewhat piddly raise, but, i'll happily take what i can get as we are lacking in funds right now.....

anyways

so that about brings me to date, i am now back with the intial company i started out with, they have yet to decide if i am offically moving to the dungeon, although i think it's inevitible as i really can't see how i can be the only person working from upstairs when everyone else is down....but whatever, what the fuck do i know??! i'm still highly confused and to top all that off i'm somewhat sick to my stomache today, or perhaps it's nerves....or i have once again caught the GD flu, as everyone and their dog has been freaking sick lately.

sigh

and did i mention my freaking head hurts too!

change is a good thing right? then why does it feel like the rug has been pulled out from underneath me? and that my gut feeling is that they want to stick me back on the main front lines, the dreaded "receptionist" position? overall i feel like i've been given the run around and i am quite tempted to search for another job, yet, they are so hard to find and i hate to start the whole procedure over again. and they do treat me somewhat good here, sometimes...despite the shitty bonus and the crap they've put me thru the last 2 wks

what to do, what to do

i need a drink, that's what i need, or a good cry, mabye both........

who would've thought...

you know back in 1994 my favorite show on the whole planet was "My So Called Life", i loved this show and everything about it, but, more importantly i loved Jared Leto who played the hot yummy love interest for Claire Danes, but even more sadly due to another new show Friends stealing the ratings this show was canned after only 1 awsome, life altering season.

ah the memories

i even had multiple posters, pics (swipped from a teen mag i'm sure) hanging/taped in my locker, one very similar to this in fact....

so what my question is how can one go from this, total, undeniable hotness to this????!!!!:

positively SCARY!!!! like what the hell has happend to you Jordan...ahem Jared i mean. i get that you probably didn't dig all the young screaming girls screaming at you and calling you a "pin up" but honestly did you have to go quite this far?? and i also get that your in some sort of punk rock band but still they have cute lead singers.....take the guy that fronts All American Rejects, he's totally yummy and doesn't look like he's a vampire reject.

sigh i miss the good old days

Popples

here's the best pic i came across, guess it was also a cartoon back in the 80's, the one i had was white and blue (i think), and one year for Christmas this was all i wanted

update: just found this over at Wikipeda

Popples were characters in a Saturday morning cartoon by the same name that aired in the United States from 1986 to 1987. They first appeared in a one-time Shelly Duvall special called "It's Popple Time", in which they were puppets and marionettes. The special went over very well, so it was decided to make a cartoon series with the same characters. Popples were created by Those Characters From Cleveland (TCFC), a subsidiary company of American Greetings, and the plush toys were manufactured by Mattel. The cartoon was produced by DiC Entertainment and LBS Communications in association with The Maltese Companies.
Popples resemble brightly colored teddy bears with long tails tipped with pompoms. They have pouches on their backs that can be everted, so they are in the pouches. The name "Popple" is a reference to the popping sound they make when unfolding themselves from such a ball. In the cartoon Popples commonly pull large items from their pouches that couldn't possibly fit inside, which presumably come from hammerspace.
The Popples live with a brother and sister, Billy and Bonnie. Billy and Bonnie think they are the only kids who have Popples until a neighbor family moves in and they have their own Popples, the Rock stars, Pufflings and babies. The Popples tend to come around and mess up whatever the kids are trying to do, such as if they are trying to brush their teeth the Popples end up spilling water, toothpaste and soap all over the bathroom. If the kids are trying to clean their rooms, the Popples come along, mess up the room even worse and then help them get everything back to normal just in the nick of time. The plot revolved around the children's efforts to hide the existence of the Popples from the adults around them.

Golden Globes - the "good"

so i did end up having time today to run down my fav dresses of the night (a meeting was cancelled that i was supposed to have been in this afternoon), so, here we go!!

Honorable Mentions: St. Angelina herself, even though i'm still not really sure if i totally dug the dress (it was dark grey afterall) but needless to say she was still breathtakingly stunning, Ali Larter and Hayden Pinette from the show hero's which i still have yet to start watching and Hilary Swank



1st up is Reese Witherspoon, also recently split from her just as cute ex Ryan Phillippe, now cameron diaz should take notes, this is how you attend an awards show showing everybody that you are single and HOT! at first i hated the dress, but the more i looked at it i luv it, and her hair is smoking!! in fact i may just try to mimmick this the next trip to my salon...anyways my main point of focus here is her Red, yes RED shoes!!! so freaking hot & sexy and i so want a pair of these!! You go Girl!












next up is America's sweet heart America Fiera (i'm too lazy to google her and get the proper spelling), better known as Betty from the hit show Ugly Betty. now this is a girl that young women/girls should look up too and want to aspire too. she's a real women with curves and shape, and beautiful on the inside and out, and she pulls off this gown spectacularly. luv the color, luv how happy she is and way to go on snagging best actress in a comedy! you so deserve it












up next is Drew Barrymore, remember last year's show where she showed up not sporting a bra in a whore-en-dous green ensamble? so sad yet it's almost worth it to see her here like this. she looks AMAZING! the dress hugs her in all the right places and the healthy tan just makes her look so relaxed and flawless, luv everything about this look, here's to hoping she's on a comeback as i luv her from way back













i think this is Helen Mier? Meir?? can't remember, anyways, man if i look this good when i get up to her age.....wow, simply amazing, classsy, and perfect. the color is superb what else can u say really?


































and lastly, i've saved my favorite for last and it's none other than Jennifer Lopez, man would i love to be her for like a day, or better yet have access to her wardrobe for a day. geesh. she's just so gosh darn perfect it's almost sickening but yet you can't help but love her at the same time for channeling her inner goddess in this dress. the dress, the hair, it all is goregous! simply amazing

Golden Globe fashion run down

will start off with none other than the "bad" or "wurst" of the evening

honorable mentions go to: Vanessa Williams, Gillian Anderson, Jennifer Love Hewitt


who better to start off with than the diva herself, miss Beyonce, now not only is she really striking quite the "diva" pose here, and thinking that she is really working this gold dress, which of course hugs all her bootylicious curves, which normally would be a good thing but sadly this shiny gold number really doesn't do it for her, and neither does the tacky, icky blonde hair extensions, she looks like a fake plastic doll or something, it's just wrong on so many levels, sorry B but you get an F on this one













next up is recently dumped Cameron Diaz, oh boy, where to start here and be nice about it......hate the dark hair, it really needs to go, go back to your happy perky blonde days, and the dress, oh boy the dress, girl one would think where you were attending an awards show where your ex is going to be at, you would want to look amazing and make him green with envy, unfortunately for you i think u just confirmed why justin just dumped your ass....to many ruffles, the color is whore-en-dous, and yeah, it's just all around nasty













next up is nicolette sheridan from the not so much hit show (at least not for me, i haven't watched once this year...) Desperate Housewives, and that's about what she is Desperate, with a capitol D. she never, ever chooses a gown that i say, wow, she looks really amazing or better yet at least current and hip and in this decade, when was the last time a mermaid skirt was cool? the 80s?? ick i hate this dress so badly! time to move on














now i really wanted to give patricia arquette the benefit of the doubt, i love her show and i love her (she's a great actress and she's proud of her "normal" curvy figure) so i wasn't go to be all harsh on her ass, but frankly she deserves it. like what the hell. what's up with the black bra like top, and the icky, dull grey color, or better yet why if you know that you are curvy would you pick such an un-flattering dress? and to top all that off, her hair is well nasty to say the least, sorry girl but you could have done, way ,way better and where's your cute adorable hubby??












and lastly, i can't remember this girls name but i think she stares in the movie babel, if that tells you anything. but i just couldn't resist this, i mean she had to know that she would be put on several worst lists by chossing this, or perhaps that's what she was going for.....better to be on that than fall into the just "meh" category and be totally forgetten. overall i like the soft purple color but it stops there, the floating balls, the black shoulders and her bleach blonde hair really washes her out, in fact i almost feel somewhat sorry for her, but she had to know before she left her house what she looked like, so i don't, you my dear are by far the wurst dressed of the night, even beating out over the top beyonce in her golden shiny number

very

very

merry

~cheers~

quickie

omygosh i have way to much info/crap/stuff/lists running thru my brain right now i am in an utter frantic panic and there is no way to possibly contain it any longer

~shopping~

~wrapping~

~delivering gifts~

~cooking~ (ha who am i kidding) but i would like too......

~cleaning~

sigh

it's all rather a bit much and having a lack of $$ in the bank account isn't the nicest feeling either (cursing that GODDAMN bonus yet again, but i'm supposed to have stored that far far away, so i'm sorry for the re-lapse)

so i'm now feeling somewhat guilty as a co-worker got me a lovely present that it just to cute beyond words and honestly i hadn't thought of getting her anything (well i did fleetingly but i thought that surely we wouldn't be doing that here, or perhaps i was wishing we wouldn't as i am a rather selfish person and i don't have the extra cash to spend on yet another gift...) anyways i'm totally rambling, i got a gift and now i should buy her one, but i don't know what, and then i got to thinking that perhaps i should buy cards for everyone in the office as i don't want to exclude anyone or hurt anyone's feelings.......god it's a never ending cycle and i totally should have done this or thought of this weeks ago but sadly i'm not to swift on the up kick and i'm stuck at the last minute trying to scramble for ideas

phew!

that was quite the little burst of energy/words that have been pent up ALL day! i sort of feel a little better, but not entirely. is it time to leave yet? i have to get groceries, pick up this and that and i'm sure i'll forget something......

just plain sick

so i've been down and out with a terrible bout of the flu (i will spare you all the traumatic details, and trust me they are traumatic) and today is my first "full day" back at work and i'm freaking exhausted and drained already and it's not even past 10:00 yet.

sigh

i guess that's what being out 2 1/2 days in flu hell will do to a person

on the positive side of things i have lost like 8 pounds which i'm sure as soon as my appetite comes back in full force i will put back on in one consumption of sweets, treats and what nots (it is Christmas people) but i'm enjoying being slimmer even if it's only for a few days

other notes, i have been extremely grumpy lately this may be due to my bout of the flu or perhaps i'm just a grinch but i'll be happy, greatful to have this season done and over with, i have several lists in my head that need to be completed yet no idea where to officially start and it stresses me the heck out, thus not making me a happy camper

oh

and also

instead of getting the "christmas cash bonus" that i was oh so ever anticipating this year as i was really hoping to at least pay off one of my evil credit cards, sadly, did not happen. nope. instead i got a $100 gift card to a local grocery store, which by the way i don't even shop at.....anyhoo..... how's that for a slap in the face. totally am not happy about this and not sure if i should break the breach and say something as i don't want to seem ungreatful (when really i am sort of) but frankly i don't think it's fair or right do to give us this without an explanation of some sort.......am i being wrong here?? i could explain the situation further but frankly i'm sort of tired now and irritated beyond words and yeah. i'm out

happy friday :P

latest happenings

not a whole lot really yet i seem to be really busy at the same time......

tis the season

so

seems like i'm not the only one as other blogs that i frequent have also been slow on the new postings/updates, everone is busy busy busy

has anyone out there actually switched to thew new "betta" blogger yet? they seem to be pushing it extremely hard and yet i'm very hesitant to actually switch as i'm totally lacking the in the computer technology department and i would really hate to lose all my archives as i like to look back and see what/how i was feeling at that time, sort of like your old journal that you just can't throw out, no matter how ratty and beat up it is......so if anyone has switched i would like the down low, is it better, worse?? i'm dying to know!

my office Christmas party is this friday i'm somewhat looking forward to it and i bought a steller new top that i can't wait to wear, now if i can figure out what i want to do with my hair i'll be all set to go

i've also pretty much got my shopping nipped in the butt this year i only have a few more gifts to buy and hubby's stocking stuffers and i'm done

we've got our house all decked out in Christmas trimmings now if only we had our tree......

is anyone else out there tuning into the new show Daybreak on ABC? this is an AWSOME show and if you aren't watching u need too, it's currently filling my LOST void on Wednesday nights and it's got a killer interesting story and Taye Diggs to boot (he's so SEXY!) so i'm anxious for tonights episode as it's just one of those shows you hate to wait for

speaking of t.v shows how freakin awsome is the O.C. this year? it's so much better now without Marissa on it and i'm so lovin Taylor & Ryan! Taylor is really making the show between her and Julie Cooper i dunno who i laugh at more, i give major kudos to the writers and the actors, they are right on performance, keep em comin!

other new: work is well going, exercise not so much and life in general is pretty good

oh and did i mention we are Finished DONE with evil November for another year!! SWEET!

til we meet again, i'm out :P

bringing Whoville to life

so recently my fellow co-workers and myself submitted a float in our local Christmas parade, here are some pics and i'm pretty sure you'll be able to figure out what we were portraying......

(Andi-Ann Who, Lissa-Lou Who, Cindy Lou Who (me), and Mandy-Mae Who, and oh yeah the Grinch)

some last minute touches.....

the ginch's mountain/home

and lastly Andi-Ann Who with her cute as a button nephew Aiden

and sadly despite all our efforts we only came in 3rd, we were totally robbed!!!!

GNR Review

one word people, well two really.....

FUCKING AWSOME!!!!

they blew me away, it was unbelieveable and i'm still stunned/amazed and it's now 2 days later. as you know i'm not a huge fan, i'm really more of a tag along fan as my hubby is quite possibly the biggest "Axel" fan out there, honestly, he like worships him or something, so i was going into this thing with my doubts and lot's of headache medication on hand as some of there stuff just plain gives me a headache. i'm proud to say that i didn't need it, i was rocking it out with everyone else and this was a non-stop, loud, fast, furious, ride that i did not want to end. any doubts that these guys could not pull it off are long gone, Axel sounded amazing and was dead on with his performance, and the new guys (i can't remember all there names but check themout here : www.newgnr.com ) were all top of the game performers. so if you haven't checked out there tour dates i encourage you to do so, and get your tickets now, trust me you have to see it, the electricity/anticpation in the air before they took the stage was just so beyond words, i'm so glad that we wen't and didn't let this pass us by

other performers of the evening were some band i can't remember the name of, but they were pretty good, The Suicide Girls, who were so called "burlesque" dancers but in my opinion they were strippers, and we got to see plenty of titties, which made hubby happy and had me secretly wishing that i could join them and become a member myself (GASP!) mind u i'd have to lose at least 20 pounds to get up there and be half nekid on stage, and the opening act to GNR was none other then a local Canadian band (i consider Nova Scotia local as it's only a province away) The Trews (to check them out go here www.thetrewsmusic.com ), they were freaking awsome too and really put there guts and soul into there performance, true die hard rock musician's fer sure, i loved them and must pick up there album like now!

all in all it was a long night as GNR didn't take the stage until midnight and played well into 2:00AM so we didn't get home (2 hr drive to concert site) until after 4:00 AM i just thank god i had enough sense to take the following day off as i'm stilln ot 100% yet and still really tired and feeling like ASS, guess that's what staying awake for 23hrs will do to a person.....

anyways, happy turkey day to all my U.S. bloggers, stay safe and have a piece of pie or something sweet for me would ya..... :P

drunken flea flea take 3....or is it 4...??

you know it really doesn't take much to make me a happy little flea flea

first of all i received my Sephora order (aka Christmas gift to myself, a little early...) which totally lifted me out of my "down in the dumps" phase and i now smell positively delightful as i purchased body wash and lotion that is just scrumpshious and makes me want to lick myself all day long as it's so yummy....

and

secondly

me and miss jilly wen't out (all by our lonessome's as several friends bailed on us but hey i give us major props for still going out as normally we would've just given in and not even bothered...but anyways that's off the topic.....) and man did we ever have a fantastic time!

highlight of the evening had to go to when i was dancing on this stage like area thingy doing my thing and two, count em TWO! super hot, YOUNG! guys jump up on the stage and head for little ole me, thus sandwhiching me between the two of them as we dance, grind, and shake our asses and oh yeah baby it was so FUCKING HOT!!!!! miss jilly almost peeded her pants laughing her ass off at me and when i was finished and came off the stage all she could muster was that they looked like fucking they were Abercromie & Fitch models!! SWEET!!!!

to much fun fer sure and the rest of it's sort of a blur but i recall repeatadly calling some guy dirty dan (his name was Dan) and jill and i snickering over it......asking some guy that i just met last weekend on my last "outing" for a smoke (miss jilly was plain out of) and lot's and lot's of dancing, in fact i can still not walk right today, i feel like the Tin Man from the Wizard of OZ as my legs just won't bend and they hurt so bloody bad! but man it was so worth it and i can't wait until the next time we go out....HEE!!! SO BAD!! i luv it

happy friday all have a great weekend!

peace out :P

down and out

so well all know how much i hate november and honestly i couldn't possibly be any more down in the dumps, i'm feeling terribly sorry for myself and want nothing more than to curl up in my dark bedroom under my cozy, comfy, fuzzy blanket that i love oh so much (purchased at HomeSense, luv that store!), anyways, back to my whining, and lay there and cry and cry and cry some more, i've also been suffering from terribly migrane like headaches lately, although i don't think it's a full fledged migrane but pretty damn close if u ask me

not only is everything reminding me of lisa but work is really stressful lately (year end) and the weather is just down right shitty, and i think i'm sort of going thru some sort of mid twenties crisis or something as i just want to drink and party all the time, or mabye i'm trying to repress other "serious" stuff, i dunno but man i could use a good drink right now

speaking of which i got totally smashed on friday afterwork with a group of fellow co-workers, was an awsome good time and i hope we do it again as it's a major stress reliver

i have nothing else really to report my life is rather blah lately therefore i have no funny nor entertaining stories to report or share with you all

i will note though on a positive spin that i am now 1 week away from seeing GNR live baby! and having a much needed vacation day next wednesday, i'm thinking/hoping that this might just be what the dr. ordered!!

~cheers~

stop. pause. reflect. rewind.

5 years ago today my life as i knew it changed in an instant

therefore ever since on November 9th i stop, pause, reflect and rewind to remember my dear friend Lisa Marie Nicole Sharpe, who was on her way to work, just like any other day, when her car spun out of control and into an on-coming lane of traffic, she wasn't killed instantly and hung on for another day before leaving all of us and moving on for bigger and better things

it blows my mind to think that 5 years have gone by in an instant faster than a blink of an eye, when in fact i still feel like i'm 21 (and super skinny), that my group of friends and i were going to live forever and concur the world....

it's raining here today, just like it was on that dreaded god awful day, almost feels like deja vu except so many things are different now.....where to begin really? if i could sit with you now and tell you what you missed i don't even know where i would begin?

you wouldn't know about text messaging
you wouldn't know what America's next top model was a t.v. show or that Tyra Banks hosted it
you wouldn't know who Kevin Federline was
or who Paris Hilton is
you wouldn't know about Hurricane Katrina and the devastation it caused
you wouldn't know that the Boston Red Soxs won the World Series thus ending there curse
you wouldn't know that the Crocodile Hunter is dead
you wouldn't know who the hell TomKat was and probably wouldn't believe me when i told you that Tom Cruise has lost his marbles.....
you've missed so many good movies and awsome songs

more importantly you've missed the changes in all our lives
"J" is now with another women and happy and they just recently bought a house
Sandy is well Sandy, she hasn't been the same since you left us
Marsha & Jason now have two beautiful little girls
Shelly & Jamie now have a son
Jilly & "M" are engaged and living together
and hubby and I have been married for 3 years! imagine that!

i like to think that you watch out for all of us though, and i'm sure you do, sort of a guardian angel for "the circle"

i miss you terribly and i think of you all the time

Firsts

we had our first "official" snow today and driving to work was hell, why is it we always forget how to drive in snow?

i tried my first ever Twix bar last week (i know, i know, i've been in the dark way to long when it comes to some chocolate bars), anyways, omg! i died and wen't to heaven, they are now one of my fav's (almost up there with snickers)

i've also had my first ever mcsteamy dream with another man (not my hubby) and it sort of left me, ah, umm breathless.....and thinking nasty thoughts, which has also led to more fantazing on my part

i'm also having my "first" social event @ my home, i'm rather nervous about it all and i hope to god at least 5 people show up

i oh so badly wanted to go out this weekend, get drunk and party it up, but sadly becuz miss jilly is away and i have only 1 other friend to call to do so, and she turned me down........ so i was left to suffer @ home, how BORING! thank god miss jilly is back this weekend and i sure as hell hope she's up to doing something, so jilly you have been warned :P

i bought my first CD in like a year, wondering whose? miss Xtina herself in Back to Basic's and it's a kick ass album if i do say so myself, i'm hooked on her new single "hurt" as i was in a downright depressive mood last week

i'm also dying for miss gwennie gwen's new album which is due out before Chriastmas

and well that's it, can't think of any more firsts at the moment........

peace out :P

tra la la la la

so i had no title, and i really have no pupose of being here today really but i had a minute, and here i be

random muslings/rants

is anyone else having a difficult time adjusting to the time change? like honestly, i am freaking exhausted this week and pulling my sorry ass out of bed every morning is becomming more and more difficult as the week progresses

so far today we have had rain, snow and sunshine, how's that for a fall day?

LOST is still as good as ever, finally glad that the story has picked up some, who the heck was the guy with the eye patch? and what's up with them trying to introduce 2 new pps? hello! i can barely keep up now, let alone to add another two.....although the guy is sorta hot

major drama happening in the work environment, can't really explain, nor do i want to but some major shit is going to fly come tomorrow (thankfully does not involve me)

we are now entering miss flea flea's dreaded least favorite month. blah. how i hate november

lot's of stuff to plan for and do though, like christmas shopping, another chore i dispise

in fact if it wasn't for all this damn left over halloween candy that everyone keeps bringing in, i probably wouldn't be happy, but, due to all the sugar i have consumed i can't stop grinning, last count i have had 5 blow pop's, at least 20-30 mini snickers bars and my stomache now hurts, but do u think i can stop eating candy, hell no!

bugger, i have to get groceries tonight and i totally forgot, man that suxs

anyways, i'm out too tired to write today, just had to get that halloween post outta the way, take care all! :P
