[b]Saturday, October 30th, 2004...[/b]
I don't know if it was what I ate last night or just the fact that I haven't been on the top of my game all week... But today I was haulin ass... I was giviner.... I don't think I have had this much energy in a long time... This morning I ended up doing an hour and a half of cardio... I would have done more if we had more time but tanning calls... I got such a rush out of my work-out this morning... Everything was perfect... BET was poppin' and the temperature in the gym was right... [i]meaning your nips didn't feel like stones rubbing against your shirt... sometimes I think they purposly do that :wink: [/i] I was flying on level 16.... I knew it was gonna go well when we started today... Don't you just love it when you wake up and everything starts to go great? :D I enjoyed my cardio bout so much today that we have both decided that we are gonna try and do an hour and a half of cardio [u]daily[/u] this week coming up.... no ifs ands or hopefully BUTTS after this week is done... [i]ha ha ha[/i]....
I am on a charge.... I feel as if I have a fire in my pants and it wasn't the tanning.... I actually have that feeling of ... [i]hey let's go out and actually do something today!.... [/i] Honestly... We have been in a funk for quite some months now... and we have slowly been coming out of that funk.... Today I felt great... Daddy felt great and we both wanted to go out... But not 'to the mall' out... or 'out to a movie' out... or even 'out to a nice restaurant' out.... We wanted to do something that kept us in motion... We opted for the Local Zoo... We still haven't seen the new red panda exibit... and we figured since it is cooler out and may be considered 'winter' for some... we decided today would be a great day for a walk around the Zoo.... Bundled up we get and off we go!! The weather is so great today.... it's maybe about 0 out and with a proper jacket the weather doesn't seem to phase you at all... but the weather obviously phases half of our Zoo... b'cus half if not 80% of the Zoo's animals weren't in their cages and I am presumming they have gone somewhere warmer for the winter months... As Daddy and I make our way through the desolit zoo... we come across the porcipines... all porky.. and piney... too cute those little fellas... I guess they can handle the cooler temperatures... It's cute... all the animals must be hungry... They seem to be responsive to voices... Even though Daddy and I were quiet... and barely spoke ... When they heard us they would peer up to see what we were doing... I haven't experienced these porcupines do that before... Maybe they get nosier in the fall... The next stop was the red pandas.... Now... one word describes these fellas... AWWEEEEEE.....
I haven't seen a red panda before.... I was envisioning a red or browner not so prettier version of the black and white kind... But these guys were so cute.... They look like giant cats!
We couldn't help but awe and gush over how cute these pandas were.... I think we stood there for a good 15-20 minutes going [i]Awe... awe.. awe.. oohh... Did you see that?? ... That was so cute... awe... awe... [/i]and so on for about another 50 lines... [i]ha ha ha[/i].....OK enough of these guys... we descided to venture indoors... Just as we were about to venture inside... Bam!! Kids... kids everywhere.... there must be some sort of party... or maybe Halloween gig going on today... So as Daddy and I avoid the cluster of children... we make our way into look at all the reptiles and little animals that live inside the Saito centre... Monkeys... wallabees.... and even some big seals that would dance with me... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... Ya.. I stood in front of their window and one kept coming up to the window and pasting himelf on the glass... So I would shake back and forth and wave at him and he would dip down into the pool and jump up again and wiggle... It was cute... I also had one of the other seals playing peek a boo with us too... We then ventured back outside... to where we came across the tigers... These guys were actually out and about and one of them was actually on the move... Well I should say on the pace... B'cus he was pacing around his cage like a ... well.. like a caged animal! Huge these cats are... I couldn't imagine owning a cat that size... even though sometimes Daddy and I humour the idea of owning big cats one day when we no longer have little kitties that may be confused as treats... to big kitties... Speaking of confussed big kitties... When we were looking at the Snow leapords ... I think it was a snow leapord... anyways... a group of kids was on the other side of the leapord's cage... with a zoo keeper person... and they're all [i]hey kitty... lookie at the kitty... come here kitty... blah blah blah[/i]... you know.. being kids... I would say these children where no more older than 7 yrs..... We were on the other side of the cage and I could tell this cat was annoyed by all the noise... and I also think he was hungry... So.. when you are a big cat you think... [i]hmmm... I'm hungry.. those little things over there are making noise... hmmm maybe = lunch?? [/i].... So the cat gets up... slinks over to a rock... and starts to stalk out the kids... little did the cat realize or remember ... the cage is there!! So the cat hides behind the rock and waits for his perfect time to pounce.... POUNCE! He runs up to the fence real quick... when he realizes there is 2 adults there and a fence he slams on his kitty breaks and thinks [i]fuck![/i] and high tails'er into his kitty cubie... So noone can see his embarassment :oops: poor kitty... he really thought he was gonna get some food!! After that display of wild kingdom... we had our fill... Well that and we were gonna venture to another outdoor park to finish off our afternoon... If only we had looked at our watches or something... We woulda realized... it's not afternoon anymore!! It's turning into night time!!
No Halloween party plans for us tonight... Actually no plans at all ... Oli is busy... she's at a party tonight... Cork.. well.. we don't want to do anything with Cork... Daddy's family... well we are having dinner with them tommorow... so we don't really want to see them again tonight... And mine.. they're busy too... my cousin is moving into the basment suite in the place that my parents are living in... So it's crazy over there... We actually decided on going to VV and scope out some new collared shirts for Cork... since the guy doesn't have any and frankly... You gotta kinda look presentable if you are a salesman... or at least Daddy would like him to look presentable... So off to VV we went... I thought it would have been way busier there... since it's Halloween time and all... But we managed to wander around for quite sometime and find a decent shirt or two for Cork... I also managed to find some good deals too... Man gotta love VV shopping... we walked out of there with a huge bag of goodies and paid like 70 bucks! Amazing... anyways... We then ventured to Wal-Mart to look at board games... But they didn't have the one we are looking for so BOO on them... When does Wal-Mart ever seem to have what I am looking for other than when I'm looking tp or catfood?? [i]ha ha ha[/i].... So we came home and had a nice relaxing shower and ended our night with tv and cuddles.... ahhhh.... a nice way to end a day....
I hope you all have had a wonderful start to your weekends...
until tommorow take care y'all

[b]Friday, October 29th, 2004....[/b]
Kinda back on track this morning... didn't have a yak attack today :D Actually managed my hour and wanted to do more!! I have been seeing great results so I have become addicted to seeing more.... So more gym time = better results in the weight department... But... I'm not gonna kill myself just to see a 3 pound difference... The new girl at the gym is sweet... She is really nice and friendly and usually yaps with me and Daddy on a regular morning basis... We were thinking of maybe inviting her out to do something sometime... She moved here from Chile... [i]poor girl... she must be freezing her ass off!! ha ha ha... [/i]Anyways... she is new to town and we were thinking maybe she wants friends... But now a days it just seems way too weird to say [i]"hey.. wanna be friends?" [/i]to someone than it used to be when we were younger.... Plus with us being US... It seems that some times people think we're hitting on them... :shock: instead of trying to be their friend :? What's a girl to do??
So... this afternoon was our last day of the week... YAH... you heard me right... I said it's our LAST DAY OF THE WEEK!! We have finally left Cork alone at the store and it didn't burn down... So we're gonna leave him alone this weekend... hopefully next or the following weekend we will be able to leave town... I'm really stir crazy right now... Daddy too... So to hit the open road for a few hours and a few days somewhere else wouldn't hurt... Today is also the last day of my work week before Halloween... and like I said... I was gonna wear a costume... I chose the pirate!... ARRRRR... I love dressing up... getting all dolled up with the wild eye make-up and wearing a weird fluffy costume... and let's not forget the fishnets!!
I [i][b]love[/b][/i] wearing fishnets
I'd wear them all the time but I some how don't think these would suffice as appropriate [i]'cleaning the house' [/i]attire or work-out wear.... [i]ha ha ha[/i] ... Even though I am sure there are a few folks out there that would like to see it... Sorry y'all... there's no way I'm gonna sport fishnets at the gym.... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... [i]Maybe[/i] cleaning the house :wink: If Daddy is a messy boy!!
So my afternoon was filed with old men thrown off by the fact that there is this bleach blonde babe standing there in front of them dressed as a swedish pirate disaster.... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... No.. you could tell I was a pirate... but the skirt was all fluffed out like you see on a little bo peep costume... it was too funny.... I keep doing the 'bend & snap' for Daddy... you know.. from Legally Blonde... you bend... then snap! .... Daddy really got a charge out of my nickers... I stood behind the till the whole time when other's where in the store... even though.. I once got called out to go over to the pantyhose wall... and the lady I was talking to started to feel up my leg!! :shock: [i] "Ohhh... your pantyhose are sooo soft..." [/i]I didn't know whether I should give her our number and tell her to give us a call later... or to slap her... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... Nah... I wouldn't slap a woman for feeling my leg up... and I really did belive she was after soft pantyhose and thought I got mine from our store ... which I didn't... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... But all ended well... she bought something and I didn't feel so cheep anymore... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... kidding... about the feeling cheap part.... I was covered... and honestly... all anyone would see is a pair of black tiny shorts under my skirt... so they wouldn't get to see much... Unless... they thought I was that hairy!!! EWWWW!!! [i]ha ha ha ha ha[/i]..... Nah... I don't think anyone got a veiw of anything... unless they were Daddy... [i]he he he [/i] .... So after work I changed back into my suvilian clothes and we went home for a night of movie watching and snoring... We want to get to bed at a decent hour tonight... We may get tommorow off... but the gym still calls... and we have a tanning appointment... not to mention all the things we would like to get done.... Anyways... I'm rambling...
So our night was good... Daddy dozed off early... I shortly followed... Only to be jerked back awake by myself! Got to hate it when you fall asleep sitting up... Man I must be tired... So off we both went to lala land... for another day... Hope you all had a great week and have and awesome weekend planned for yourselves!!
Until tommorow... take care y'all

| Yak Attack! |
| 10.29.04 (9:57 am) [edit] |
[b]Thursday, October 28th, 2004....[/b]
WOOOWEEE.... I'm flying this morning! I felt great well... sorta.... I did feel a bit weak... But once I got on the elipitcal I was flying.... until :oops: that lovely feeling of [i]I'm gonna hurl [/i]came over me... Now yesterday morning I felt the same way ... I often do feel ill when I am working out... But I couldn't shake this feeling... and it started to turn more into the [i]'lump in the throught' [/i]feeling... followed by the [i]'dry but watering like a biotch mouth'[/i].... I knew I was gonna lose it all over my machine and in front of everyone if I didn't stop and get a move on! So I hauled ass to the washroom... and got my yak on... Lovely... such a great way to start a day... So needless to say I didn't get to do my normal workout this morning and now I am bummed ....
B'cus of my ralph attack this morning Daddy wanted to go back to the gym again b'cus he had to cut his work-out short too... So I was left to doddle and chat all afternoon at the store... I may have found some new interest in the romance department... But... it's only chat and who knows... Everyone seems to be soo super sweet and everything you are looking for in chat... But still fun to waste an afternoon chatting it up with a new stranger... I also got a new e-mail from HO... and she attached more pics of Eden... Here's my latest photoshop creation...
You should see the original pic... she looks so tiny in a huge sea of blankies... with her arms and legs all tucked under her and her bum all up in the air... It's too cute... So anyways... I was mucking around in PS and did a little creative editing ... I'm feeling much better this afternoon... I don't know what came over me this morning... actually I think I know... my heart rate gets way too high some days and I end up feeling the heat.... or it could be the fact that I roll out of bed at 6 and I'm on the eliptical by 7... my body hasn't even woken up yet!! I know I know... I should eat something and wake up before I decided to go hardcore in the cardio department... but who has time?? Not us....
So this evening we have our evening to ourselves and we have decided to make dinner and veg on the couch... tonight is Survivor night and CSI: night... I have been feeling really sleepy these past few nights at 9... I hope I can stay awake long enough to get my watch on... Well.. Daddy crashed and was snoozing away while survivor was on... and slowly made his way to bed at the beginning of CSI:... So I followed... thinking... [i]I can stay awake if I watch tv in bed.[/i]... Well I was wrong... So I missed CSI:... BOO... but oh well there's always re-runs to look forward to....
Well... with our week winding down... tommorow being our last day of the work week! I hope we can find something to do this weekend.... so until tommorow... take care y'all...

[b]Wednesday, October 27th, 2004...[/b]
Well... I have been feeling a tad bit sluggish today... I think my work-outs are starting to catch up with me... That and the fact that I haven't been eating alot.. that probably helps the 'lead ass' too... I barely pushed out my 600+ calroies this morning... Usually I am pushing almost 700 cals during my cardio sessions... but this morning I barely made my 600... geesh!! But what do you expect... you get what you put into your body and when you haven't put very many cals in and you are burning more cals than you are consuming a day.... It's no wonder your body feels weak... I can't complain though... I am seeing results and that's the thing that counts... I'll just hit the sack early tonight and eat a healthy meal tonight and everything should even it's self out by tommorow... I hope so... b'cus I really hate not getting what I expect out of my work-outs in the morning...
Well this afternoon I decided to do it... I got my hair chopped! I have been teetering on whether or not I wanted to get rid on my length... but... not only was I unsure of cutting it shorter... But I was concerned about how the shorter hair would look... everytime I have ever cut it to just above my chin I look like a big round face!! So I thought maybe if I went with bangs it wouldn't look so 'round'.... so I did it... I got bangs and I even chopped my hair chin length.... wanna see?
[b]you like??[/b]
I LOVE.... I actually found myself playing with my bangs all afternoon and evening... I'm so silly! So my afternoon was spent in the 'chair'... and by the time I got back to the store it was almost home time!!
This evening we had some errands to run... even though when we got to the Wal-Mart parking lot we were like ... [i]uh nuh... not tonight[/i]... and we turned around and left... You know some days that lot is soo full and people are everywhere and I just don't feel like shopping that way! And since most of our Wal-Marts have added food... they're even more packed!! I dunno why Daddy and I like to fool ourselves into thinking it might not be busy at 6pm... DUH!! So we went to Save-On and got our nightly dinner and headed home for a good old home cooked meal and a night of re-runs... Actually I don't know runs... b'cus I was doozing off by 7:30!! I was a sleepy little lady tonight... So Daddy finally told my sleepy ass to get to bed at around 9 and that's where I stayed! I guess it has been a tiresome day today... huh... who knew getting your hair done was soo tiring?? [i]ha ha ha[/i]....
Until tommorow take care y'all....

| Overall a 'plain jane' day.... |

Tuesday, October 26th, 2004...
Man... I'mma machine!! This morning I flew on the eliptical... I wonder what has lit the fire in my pants?? I usually find myself grinding away in the mornings... I know I can do better most mornings but I am just too gosh darn lazy some mornings... But this morning I was a mad woman.... and I tell ya... it has been paying off... This morning on the scale I was finally back to a weight that I don't mind seeing I now can see my end goal and I haven't really cheated myself.... It is amazing... Daddy counted how many days we have been working out and watching our diet for .... it has only been 16 days and I have managed to loose 12 pounds!! And that's not all water... so I am one happy clam :D So in just 16 more days I'll be down to my goal weight... and all it really required was execise (half-assed most days might I add)... and diet... and a watchful eye... B'cus honestly... I have been making entries in my diet journal everyday... So I know what I have eaten... Daddy has been taking a less structured approach and he seems to flucutate... He has been making results... just not as steady... I think that's b'cus I eat what my diet journal states I can that day... and I stop... I guess I have more mental power... He likes to munch... Mind you he has been munching on apples and carrots... He just finds that he isn't making the reasults he would like... But still he has managed to losse 14 in the past 16 days... So he can't complain too much!
Well... today was alright... not much going on... It's magazine day.... and that has been my thing to do on Tuesdays... Sorry Dr. P... your on the back burner today... J. Lo wants a baby!! [i]ha ha ha ha[/i]... Actually I ended up reading only one mag and it was home time!! Today flew... which was weird... b'cus Daddy was gone for a few hours... and usually when he is gone I feel like time drags... But not when I can read about all the LA bullshyte going on.... [i]ha ha ha ha[/i]... Anyways.... my afternoon was boring and flew by...
This evening we decided to rent another movie and watch it at home on our comfy couch... We rented White Chicks.... It was ok... I laughed... but I also love the Wayan brothers.... But the movie really had no real story line and things are kinda cheesy... but good for a laugh if you like to watch snotty socialties fight over bullshyte.... Other than that not much really happened today... it was overall a pretty plain jane day....
So until tommorow... take care y'all

| Morning rush.... urgh! |
| 10.26.04 (8:59 am) [edit] |
[b]Monday, October 25th, 2004...[/b]
Another start to another week... kinda weird this morning I actually thought it was Sunday .... I recall lying in bed and inspecting the inside of my eyelids... and thinking .... [i]ahhhh .... I'll just lie here for another hour... then I'll start my day[/i]... But then reality sapped in and I realized that it was Monday morning and we had to get going ASAP if we wanted to get in our work-out and get to our tanning appointments on time.... URGH... the morning rush!! I really don't like feeling rushed and hurried... I hate it when things are running behind and I don't get in what I want to get done in the mornings.... And honestly... if it doesn't get done this morning chances are it's not going to get done in a while.... or until absolutely needed.... which will also be a day when you're running behind.... URGH!! Just the thought of schedules and appointments and timelines... tick tock tick tock... AAAahhhhhh!!!! I must admit... I'm not under tough timelines like I was before... I definately have alot more time on my hands to get the things done that I really really wanted to get done when I used to work fulltime... So I can't complain... But I find that lately I have been feeling very rushed... and anxious..... and this morning was no different...
WELL!! Must say... I'm a happy camper... managed not to gain too much from my chinese feast this weekend... I only have an extra 2 to burn off thanx to my binge... But I must say... it's way better than my extra 6 that I had to loose from last weekend's candy and burrito binge :oops: .... That was definately a very bad day for my diet... But I got back on the horse and started to watch the calorie intake and have cared about my workouts... and things are definately still going good... I am assuming that by the end of next month I'll be back down to my goal weight.... Yipee! This morning I started reading a new self help book... I am reading Dr. P's book on Relationship Rescue.... Now... I don't think my realtionship is in shambles or even heading that way anywhere in the near future .... but I do realize that Daddy and I fight sometimes and it's very heated and sometimes I find that I am a tad bit tooo critical... Not just in arguements... I find that I am critical about almost everything that I'm anal about... So for exapmle... If I am anal about having shoes on in the house [i](which I'm not, btw) [/i]... I will nag at him about wearing his shoes in the house and how it angers me and sometimes if Daddy is feeling in the mood to vent he'll release and we'll end up in a argument that started with my particular dis-like for footware in the house.... Something that normally isn't that big of a deal for some... but to me it is... and for some reason I can't help myself from snipping at him about it.... So that is why I am trying to 'self help' myself... Honestly.. I have been watching Dr. P's talkshow everyday during the week for months now... and I saw a show last week about Critisizing Spouses.... What I saw.... was a whole lotta Daddy's parents.... but not just that... I saw alot of me too! I saw a wife that constantly treated her hubby like a child and critisized every little thing he did.... Now... I'm not [i]THAT[/i] bad... I don't treat my hubby like a child... [i]well ok sometimes... but I think he likes it[/i] :wink: ... But I do watch him and if he isn't doing something the way I like it to be done ... [i]which is usually MY way... ha ha ha... [/i]I get critical of his actions too.... and treat him simualr to how that wife treated her spouse... and he feels shittier and shittier everyday b'cus of how his wife treats him... :( ... that made me feel bad and really sad... and once again I have realized that my actions at most times aren't the nicest towards my hubby... and that maybe I should try to figure out why I need to feel in control and have to critisize when I am not.... Not to mention... I am way too high strung lately... I need to figure out why?? Hopefully this book will help me get in touch with a little more of me... and help me let go of alot of the bad me....
Well... my afternoon consisted of reading and doing relationship surveys... We're in alot better shape than most out there... I honestly think this book is made for couples in alot worse shape than we are... BUT... it was also made to help some see their ways... and honestly.. my eyes are opening... So... humming and hawwing as I agree and disagree with the book... Daddy and I have decided to rent a movie tonight and hang out at home tonight with our kitties.... [i]ha ha ha[/i].... like every night... But actually I had a night of cuddling on the couch with Daddy on my mind.... We haven't had alot of time to ourselves lately... We have been busy in the mornings ... and when we get off work at night we go home to get to bed so we can do it all over again tommorow... and let's not forget.... we have 2 kitties that are dying for some TLC too... So when we get home... they're glued to us until we all go to bed together... I don't know about you... but have you tried to cuddle up when you have a 30 pound cat on your chest?? It's not easy.... and never seems to work b'cus then he starts to meow and press his face up against yours... Therefore ruining any mood that may have been there for night time cuddles.... Or they both sit at the foot of the bed and watch us... which is even more creepy.... Tonight we actually managed to cuddle on the couch while watching a movie... We rented Garfield... it was ok... Don't know if I would bother with it again... but I managed to stay awake for the duration of the flick... that's amazing! So after our movie we all headed up to bed .... we've got an appointment early tommorow morning and we wanna get our work-out in... So we hit the bricks early tonight.... kitties in tow....
I hope you all have had a great start to your weeks... Until tommorow... take care y'all

[b]My Weekend…
Saturday, October 23 - Sunday, October 24, 2004.…
Saturday…[/b]
Well… I guess I figured our weekend would be off to a normal start… BUT… Daddy and I ended up being lazy mo’fo’s this morning… You see… we actually went out last night!! And b’cus we actually went out last night …. we were out late. We were up actually past 1am last night :shock: OH my!! So this morning when we finally awoke and figured out what time of the day it was… we were running extremely late… We still tried to fool ourselves into thinking we were going to the gym… Even drove to the gym… But once we got there we realize the type of time crunch we’d be putting ourselves through if we actually went into the gym… So we decided… if we get ditched to night… we’ll go burn off some cals at the gym… So no matter what… we have plans tonight! I still felt guilty though… we had quite the chinese food feast last night… and I’d like to burn a few hundred cals off… but I also want to do my hair and have enough time to have a lengthy shower… Ahhhhh I think that’s about one of the number one perks about the weekend… long showers!!
This afternoon was Cork’s test at what he has learnt… Daddy and I are going to cut the strings and leave him at the store alone this coming up weekend… So I gotta leave him out front to fend for himself while I sit quietly in the back office and hope to still hear the register ring… Well.. I must say… Cork managed to do quite well… I can say he’s probably just as good if not better a sales person as our ex employee was… I spent most of my afternoon reading blogs… [i]ha ha ha[/i]… [i]my guilty pleasure[/i]… and searching out images online…. [i]You can never have too many desktop pics… ha ha ha… [/i]Actually I like to surf the net and look at mindless stuff online or cruise ebay and look at the handbags… Since I fell in love with that fake on ebay I haven’t been back to look at the handbags anymore… I’ve lost my interest in that…. I also enjoy an online gaming experience every now and then… I’ve become quite the Family Feud expert… "survey says" [i]ha ha ha… [/i]Daddy has been MIA for the majority of the afternoon and presumed used by his father… His Dad always calls and says… [i]“hey.. Do you have my (fill in the blank)?…” [/i]Then it’s usually followed by… [i]“I needed that for blah blah… can you come and drop it off to me?” … [/i]Translation: I need you to come out to my place and do this for me … but I’ll use my drill as the excuse for needing you here… This morning it was…[i] “Can you drop my truck off to me today before you go to work?… Oh.. and I’ll drop you off at work…” [/i]Meaning: He needs Daddy to do something for him… hence the [i]‘I’ll drop you off at the store’[/i]… Well.. Daddy musta been right b’cus he was gone all afternoon… When he finally got back from his afternoon with his father he looked frazzled and not in any mood to talk about what he did… Turns out he had to accompany his father to his grandfather’s place to confiscate all his g’pa’s power tools… I guess Daddy had the pleasure of witnessing his father be a total prick and get satisfaction out of stripping his father of the only things that brought him joy for many years… So needless to say Daddy didn’t have one of the most enjoyable afternoons…
We wondered… [i]are we going to have anything to do tonight? or are we really going to hold ourselves to the gym outing?…[/i]Oli said she was going to give us a call today to plan a get together… But … it’s late in the afternoon and she hasn’t called yet… and a part of me wondered… [i]maybe she won’t call b’cus she lives way on the other side of town[/i]… RING RING! The cell goes off… It’s Oli… She wants to get together but she also told her ex roomie that she’d do something with her tonight too… She invited her friend to come along with her tonight… and wanted to make sure we were cool with that… Hell ya!! The more the merrier… we decided that tonight would be games night! So… tonight we are having a little get together… weeee!! We played Scene It… have any of you played that game?? It’s pretty fun.. It’s all about movie clips and slogans and actors and actresses… It’s all about the movies!! Me and C (Oli’s friend) whipped ass!! C really knows her fill in the blanks… [i]ha ha ha[/i]… Good times were had by all!
[b]Sunday…[/b]
Urgh… Even though we were in bed at a decent hour last night I still didn’t feel like getting out of bed this morning… But I was hoping to get some extra cardio in this morning… We didn’t get any yesterday at all… and we also had chinese food for dinner last night too… Such yummy greasy goodness that stuff is… all packed in it’s shiny tinfoil packaging… just waiting to be unwrapped and scarffed down… [i]ha ha ha[/i]… and let’s not mention those yummy little fortune cookies… I got a cute fortune last night… [i]“stop searching forever…. for happiness is right beside you”… [/i]I thought that was sweet… and you know what?? Happiness is right beside me everyday… and that is why he’s sweating his ass off on the elliptical trainer beside me… [i]ha ha ha… [/i]
Well I’m kinda embarrassed to say that I didn’t really do anything on our day off… Actually... I lie… I chatted it up with my Mom online yesterday… and we went for a drive… We decided to drive out to 'our' lot… I dunno if I ever blogged about about 'our' lot… It was this empty lot just out of town… 8 acres… over looks a huge pond equipped with beaver dam and geese!… It was a lovely lot… and for the past 2 years Daddy and I have driven out to view it every once and a while… and up until today… it was for sale… Today was the day … we drove out there… and there was vehicles and a shed… and some people up top on the lot burning branches and what looks like clearing the lot to prepare for a build … :( Wahhhh!!! Our idea of ever having a house on that lot over looking the beaver swimming around collecting twigs is no longer a reality… It’s not that we really wanted to move there… B’cus honestly if we ever built a house… it wouldn’t be in this cold ass province!! But still… it’s sad to see a little day dream dwindle… Sooo… with a little sigh in our hearts we drove down Liston Drive… never to return to see ‘our’ lot again…
We really wanted to catch up on our ZZZZ’s… When we got home from our little country drive we went to bed … A little nap should do the trick… Welll… little is an understatement… We ended up waking up around 9pm… watched a little tv and went back to bed!! Man… what a lazy day… but a well need lazy day… So… this sleepy ass is going to wrangle up some energy and hopefully I’ll have a more active weekend to report about next week… [i]ha ha ha[/i]…
So until tomorrow… take care y’all

[b]Friday, October 22nd, 2004....[/b]
Ahhhhh.... The end of the week is nearing... I can taste it!! Can you taste that?? A whole lota nothing!! [i]ha ha ha[/i]... That's normally our weekends..... So.. this weekend?? I dunno... It has snowed here... and it's cold and wet outside... so if we wanna do something outside it's gonna require alot of liquor and some smoke up my ass b'cus I hate the cold!! BUT... there is a catch... I do like going out in the cold weather and say... tobogan in the snow if I have the appropriate foot wear and hand wear.... The major bummer thing about the cold is getting your tootsies and fingies frozen... It's sucks... So... unless I got the appropriate gear (which I don't think I do) We're not gonna be outside this weekend... but... we have been thinking... maybe we'll go play badmiton with Oli... She says there is a local rec centre around here that has courts.... Sounds like fun... :D
So today I have been sitting back and thinking about my week and how it seemed like it went by a whole lot faster than it did last week... Not a tonne has happened this week but alot has happened... I guess what I mean to say is... not alot has happened directly to me to make me feel like this week has been any different than any other... But it has been a life changing week for some .... like Oli has a new home now.... She is on the other side of town and is probably much happier with the shorter bus rides to and from work... or maybe work is within walking distance... I'm sure she'd brave the cold to walk to work... She's a tougher gal than I... I don't like to ski.. actually don't know how... and I don't know how to skate... So I guess winter sports aren't really my thing... Actually I can't say they aren't.. b'cus like I said.. I haven't tried them... HmMmMm... ?? :idea: Maybe I'll try to learn a new sport this winter!! Anyways... got off topic... life changing week for some... Yes... Oli has re-located... and things are different for her... Cork has started [i]kinda[/i] working at our store.... Life changing for him!! He is actually going to make a little spending cash... and maybe we'll get a whole weekend soon!! Yee... that'd be nice... Even though those are minor life changes one of my dearest pals did have a mojor life changing experience this past week.... HO popped!! She gave birth to a cute baby girl on Sunday....
her name is Eden.... Isn't she cute?? Now normally I'm not a baby person... but I thought this pic was very cute... she has a little smile on her face :D See it?? Her Mommy said she didn't take long in labour... I guess having a child previously probably helps with that a bit... I'm so happy for GO and HO... I hope things go well over these next few months of new settling... I'm sure their place is a zoo right now!! HO says she is a doll and sleeps like one too... let's hope things stay that way for HO and GO's sakes.... It has definately been a week of change for some....
We had an interesting day today... we worked until 9... Which is nothing out of the norm... but tonight we were invited over to our buddy D's place for drinks... His parent's are outta town and their place is only a few minutes away from our store (and next door to Daddy's p'rent's place) ... So we opted to stop by for a few drinks and yap for a bit... Well... if you know us... you know that we like to yap... So tonight D and his two buddies were entertained by the yappings of us[i]... haa ha ha... [/i]Kinda weird moment.... When D's buddies showed up ... one of them looked very framiliar... He looked alot like a friend of mine's exes... Too weird... all night I wanted to call him Ty instead of Eric... I hate when I do that... and not to mention I kept calling the other guy by the wrong name too.... :oops: ... I shouldn't drink on an empty stomach.... I get real tipsy... Speaking of empty stomachs.... Daddy's had finally given' into temptation to eat and we desided to leave the fellas for the night and head home... but not without some chinese food... Man.. o .. man.. I am horrible!! I said no more deep fried foods!! And now I'm chowing down on wontons and green onion cakes.... bad bad pursejunkie!!
With some sugary sweet and sour lips and big full bellies we crawled up to bed to call it a night... and that it was... Now if we can make it through work tommorow... we're home free!! Well at least for a day.... so here's to hoping you all have great weekends ahead of you.... and until tommorow... take care y'all

[b]Thursday, October 21st, 2004...[/b]
Well... I must say.. I have been feeling good about myself... Things are going awesome with my work-outs... I have managed to lose weight... Which is always a plus when you're counting calories and running for hours... just to see some sort of result.... I always hate it when I work-out and 'diet' and see no results... I have been notorious for wanting to lose this extra 20 I carry... I do the physical labour... I do the work-outs... I sweat a tonne... but where I have always fallen down is I have never tallied how many calories I am eating during the day... I haven't kept a food journal... This time I decided to keep a food journal... and I'll tell ya... some days when I am adding up those digits I think... [i]what the hell was I doing to myself today?? [/i]... Honestly... I had a 4000 calorie day, one day last week!! Almost 4 times the amount of calories I should eat in a day.... :shock: ... yikes.... I think that was my downfall in the past... I would have a bad day... and never know the caloric damage... then I'd keep doing this caloric damage to myself b'cus I would 'think' I can eat that much b'cus I am working out... But honestly.. unless you do 3 hours of cardio a day... you can't handle a 4000 calorie day... I realize I don't eat that much everyday... but... still once a week a 4000 calorie day means you ate 4 times the amount of food you should have that day... meaning.. you ate 10 days that week instead of 7.... It all adds up... and that is something I am starting to realize now... my food journal helps.... I have definately made progress on my weight and I have been feeling better and better everyday.... When someone tells you... [i]working out will make you feel better[/i].... They're not full of shit!! Turns out it does make you feel good... huh.. who knew?? [i]ha ha ha....[/i]
Today was my cleaning day... I have decided that one day a week I am going to stay at home from work to clean the house and organize things... I have realized that I am a much happier and a less stressed out girl when my house is cleaned and organized .... But I can't fret and worry about it everyday... and I can't not worry about it and turn it into a 3 day cleaning event.... I worry way too much about cleaning things ... and when they get left for too long... I then in turn feel like a total slob and want to do more to keep things cleaner in the future... After my last cleaning event... which was ohhh... about 2 weeks ago.... I spent hours scrubbing and bitching and scrubbing and then bitching some more... "I'm not going to do this anymore!!"... Well this time I actually stuck with it... Normally I'd swear to the cleaning gods and tell myself I'm never ever going to let my house get this dirty again.... Then what do ya know?? I'd be lazy and not keep up on it b'cus I'm burnt out from the BIG clean that I don't want to keep up on the little stuff.... and it would all pile up again... But this time I decided FOR SURE ... that I wasn't going to do that again.... and that's when I came up with my new plan of cleaning attack... Stay at home once a week and clean all day... Sooo... clean I [i]was supposed [/i]to do today... but for some strange reason I felt very wobbly... and ill... But not throw up ill... more like dizzy 'just got off a wicked ride' sick.... My body felt like it was throbbing and my chest felt heavy... I honestly thought I was going to suffer from a stroke or a heart attack today!! There is history in my family with heart disease and stroke... My Grandmother actually died as a result of a major stroke and a series of mini ones that followed.... Sooo... I worry... I have high cholestorol... and I don't mean slightly higher... I'm really up there... When I watched Super Size Me... I realized how high my cholestorol really is... When the guy in SSM gets his tests re-done after his 'new' diet... and his results are higher... way higher... like deadly if he kept going higher.... Ya well that's where my cholesterol is sitting at... and it shouldn't be... :oops: I have eaten a very bad bad diet over the last few years... Sure... I may not be big... or look unhealthy... but my veins are caked with all that good and lazy eating I have been doing over the past few years.... actually my whole 'on my own life' I have eaten like shit... So now it's time to grow up and start acting like an adult... start making our meals and start cleaning our house... I should start acting like a wife... a mother (of 2 kitties... they need a clean house and litter box too).... Daddy and I are concerned for our future ... our health in the future... and eating right and staying a healthy weight is what we should get into the habit of doing NOW... not later... when it might be too late...
I haven't been able to shake this 'woozie' feeling... But I have complied a list of must do chores... and I wanna get them done... I dragged my sorry woozie feeling ass off the couch and I managed to do most of the chores and cooked dinner for Daddy!! I guess I was being a 'pussy' all along ... [i]as Daddy so kindly called me during our chat session this afternoon.... He is lucky he got any din din at all!! ha ha ha... [/i]He just likes to rib people when they whine about being or feeling sick... He seems to have the immune system of Superman.... He never seems to get ill... He says "it's b'cus he can't affort to get sick.... and the hot sauce :wink:" .... He likes his hot sauce... and let's not forget the chilli peppers... Well... I dunno what it is but he should bottle it up and sell it as the miracle 'never get sick' potion.... But then he'd be sucked dry and be worthless after all his anti-illness powers are all sucked out.... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... Nah... he's superman... he'd never be worthless in my eyes... Speaking of Daddy... he had a long and boring day... not to mention he had Cork in for the last few hours tonight for training... and all they did was bitch about their upbringing.... I guess that's what siblings do when they're in the same room together and they have nothing else in common to talk to one another about... And frankly... their shitty upbringing is definately something they like to talk about.... So when he got home he was happy to kick back with me and the kitties and not yap about his p'rents...
Tonight was a good night... with me not feeling so woozy anymore.... and knowing that Daddy is safe and sound at home now... [i]I hate when the roads are icey and we aren't together.[/i].. and not to mention... it's Thursday night... my shows are on!! Well.. Survivor... was good... it's predicatble ... but I still love to watch it every week... It's also CSI: night too.... Which is always the bomb... I love watching that show... it seems to get better and better with every show... It was overall a good way to end the evening....
Hopefully you all had a good end to your days too... so until tommorow... take care y'all....

[b]Wednesday, October 20th, 2004...[/b]
Well... another cold morning to begin my day... I really should start whining about something else b'cus I really don't think this snow/cold weather is gonna end anytime soon.... :( BOO ... I hate cold weather... So... we made it to the gym... freezing cold or not... I've been really happy these past few weeks... Dunno if it's b'cus Oli is back in our lives... or if it's the fact that we've been going to the gym everyday.... or if it's just the actual fact that I've decided that I don't want to feel like shit all the time anymore.... life [b][i]really[/i][/b] isn't that shitty!! Sometimes I can get clouded with feeling like life is one big joke! But ... that's all in my head... and I know it... it's just somedays it was easier to give into that feeling of 'blah' than to try and re-think a new emotion.... I find my mind works alot on how I feel... I can feel like shit when I first wake up... and feel that way all day if I want to be... Or I can get up... crank my mp3 player at the gym... and pump up with the latest and hottest hits... Actually I still have a few oldies that get me going... I mostly load the mp3 up with Neptune's produced tracks... They seem to have what I need to feel pumped.... My new favorite right now: [i]Drop it like it's hot... By: Snoop and Pharrell... [/i]"Snnooooooo-ooooo-ooo p!"... with Chad and Pharrell on the beats... it's hot shit!!
Speaking of Snoop....
Happy Birthday Dizzle!!
Today is Snoop D O double Gizzles birthday... he turns 33 today...
* side note: doesn't he look scrawny in this pic?? Wish I could get my arms that boney and toned!! [i]ha ha ha.... [/i]ok back to blog....*
Lately I've been tuned into BET when 106 and Park is on just so I can hear their new song... It's addictive... Just like [i]Flap your Wings ... By: Nelly[/i]... I know I bitched about it months ago... but I am hooked on the beat... It's an addictive song.... Once again... Chad and Pharrell on the beats = hot shit!!
So... today I've have been debating what to do with my hair... It's in a 'in-between' stage... I used to have it long... Almost mid-back long... and I hacked it off... But.. I liked it hacked too... but my last hair dresser gave me a razor cut... Bad idea for those that process their hair every 6 weeks :shock: Who knew?? I was under the impression my hair was healthy... but lately... the longer parts are really dry... So I have compinsated with leave-in... BUT... this is my debate... I have a 'step' in my hair... meaning.. I have a long mullet... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... Nooo.. I mean... my hair is longer in the lower back section of my hair b'cus of the way it was cut.... Sooo... I wanna grow my hair out... back to long flowing hair... I [i]used[/i] to have... [i]grrrrrrr[/i]... Anyways... I dunno if I wanna cut it short.. to the length of the shortest layer.. so my hair grows out all in one length and healthy... or do I keep the step in my hair and keep it looking longer... until it's long enough to cut the dry stuff off?? I am having such a dilemma... [i]ha ha ha[/i].. only a girl could understand... So I'm gonna do some photoshopping... maybe I'll figure out what to do... if not... maybe I'll do a blog poll.... [i]ha ha ha[/i]....
Well... Cork came in tonight to train... and he was bitching about how his parent's let themselves into his place when he was not there.... Now normally I would think that they are being disrespectfull... but honestly... Cork don't pay the bills there... Actually Cork doesn't work! He has ZERO money and everything he has is bought and paid for by his parents .... including the house he lives in and all it's furnishings... Soo... I say "It's their place... what do you expect?" .... I know that may seem rude... or blunt.. But honestly... I am tired of being nice to these people!! I am tired of listening to Cork complain about how his parents are badgering him... or how he [b][i]had[/i][/b] to shovel his driveway.... [i]oh boo hoo[/i].... I used to shovel their driveway years ago when I lived with them.... while Cork sat inside play his videogames!! I still do it on occasion.... soo wah wah!! I said to him that time "well that's one of the joys of living in your own house".... I guess that probably gave him the impression that I seemed to think he owns that place... But to tell you the truth... his parents aren't going to ever make him do anything... and he'll be there forever.. or until his parents kick him out... Which I don't think will ever happen... geesh.. must be nice to have everything paid for... and only have to shovel your driveway.... So.. if his parents want to help themselves into his place.... he has no choice.... until either he gets a real job and starts paying his way... or until he learns how to change a door lock... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... and I don't see either happening anytime soon.... [i]ha ha ha... ahhhh..[/i]. in-laws... is there anything you can't complain about them about?? Needless to say... he didn't really get chatty with me tonight... and I don't really mind... honestly... I don't...[i] ha ha ha[/i]... So.. we watched The Day After Tommorow when we got home... ate our homemade din din... and enjoyed the flick and headed off to bed late.... hopefully this won't be a problem tommorow morning... I hate getting to the gym late....
So until tommorow... take care y'all....

[b]Tuesday, October 19th, 2004...[/b]
I cannot for the life of me understand why years and years and years ago ... People decided to set up a city here... Not just here... but a city anywhere in the North.. What the hell were those pilgrams thinking?? I guess I shouldn't bitch too much... Other than it is fucking cold... and the sun doesn't rise until 8:10am now... Things could be worse.... I could live further up north.. where in some places they are living in complete darkness all day right now... and I am sure the temperatures aren't the highest either.... I also could still be working where I was and be living in complete darkness too... since I would get there in the dark and leave in the dark and have no windows to even see if there was sunlight that day.... So things could be worse... But I like to whine from time to time and how cold it is ... is one of those things I am bitching about... This morning I didn't even know if I wanted to remove my hoody it was so damn cold in the gym.... I guess a cold gym is a gym easier to work out in... but it's really hard to get it moving when your a popcicle.... BrRrRrRr....
While I am sweating away doing my daily cardio... I like to read Cosmo ... So everyday I end up saying to Daddy.. "Cosomo says..." ... I do this almost every morning on our drive home from the gym [i]"Cosmo says... men don't know this"[/i]... or [i]"Cosmo says... we should do it like that".[/i]... So anyways this morning I am reading this months article about how men size up your pad... Now.. I don't think men should be ones to judge a woman by what her place looks like... b'cus half the time I don't think they know how to organize a place of their own... so is their place any more desirable than yours?? So.. that's something that isn't brought up... but think about it!! It works both ways.. why does she have to have the nice pad?? So.. anyways.. off topic... The article was talking about the different ways he sizes up your place... Like he'll check out your cd collection.... or he checks out your food.... or likes to check out your photos.... To see who you are and who your family is... But the thing that got me was... that they 'supposedly' check out your bed.... and the bigger the better :wink: which I figured... But not only that... but it also states that "There's nothing sexy about a fussy bed that looks like it's fluffed and tucked by an obessive -compulsive drill sergeant." :shock: Hmmm I must have been under false assumptions... I thought guys liked fancy looking beds... actually... I take that back!! Of course guys don't care what your bed looks like as long as it is big and ready for action.... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... [b][i]Chicks[/i][/b] care about what a bed looks like... [i]ha ha ha[/i].... But I do know Daddy likes a fancy looking bed... :wink: ... He's my kinda guy... But what Cosmo also said that made me think was... It quoted a guy stating [i]".... And those pillows you have to compete with to get near her?"... [/i]The thing that really hit me about this qoute was the guy mentioning how he has to compete with the pillows to get near his girl... Now I know this from experience... I am a pillow lover.. I love having a gazillion pillows on my bed... I know I need at least 2 pillows to sleep at night if not more... At this moment I believe Daddy and I have 9 pillows on our bed... and yes at night we're in a struggle to get comfy amongst the pillows (and cats)... But once we get set up and in comfort mode... man o' man 9 pillows in bed is comfy!! But we also have our new bedtime cuddle buddies... I find I settle in with a pillow and snuggle it all night and Daddy does the same... So maybe that guy has a point... My pillow gets more action some nights than my hubby!!
Our day was very average.... With the temps being so cold out I find that many people aren't going out of their way to buy extra curricular items... Which makes for a slow day... Not many people means not much work to do... I told Daddy he could be on dinner duty tonight... Since I know he would like to go and make dinner some nights.. it's only fair... [i]ha ha ha[/i].. Ya.. I have to fight with my guy over who's gonna cook tonight!! Tonight's menu... Stew... I think he can handle it... Whatdya know!! Dinner was awesome... Daddy did a great job!! Our night was average... overall our day was pretty average.... But I did mention to Daddy "Cosmo says.... guys don't like stuffy beds..." :lol: Daddy laughs ... sweetie "Cosmo doesn't know what men like.... now let's go up to that stuffy bed!"
So until tommorow... take care y'all... and pick out a cuddle pillow... It might just become your new bedtime mate!!

[b]Monday, October 18th, 2004...[/b]
God damn!! Is it cold out!! It has been snowing all weekend and it is still snowing today... It's about -7/8ish in the mornings... which isn't all that bad for winter... here... But still in mid-October?? I thank our lucky stars these mornings that Daddy and I finally pulled our heads our of our asses and purchased a car starter 2 winters ago... That was the best damn 300 bucks we've spent in a long time!! Well worth it if anyone is debating the fact of getting one or not... I tell ya nothing is better on a cold morning than getting into a warm car... instead of a freezing cold one... It gets hard to stay motivated or get up so early to go out to the gym in the mornings... especially when it's -10 and still pitch black out!! But.. we've been doing it... every morning for the past 2 weeks now... and counting... :D
Well... today was cold... and average... we didn't really do anything out of the normal during the day today... We went to the gym... we tanned... and we came to work... It s freakin' cold here in the store today!! My fingers are like little ice cubes... Ahhh... the lovely effects of winter weather... My lips are all half chapped... My hair all dried out and static-y... and my skin feels like sandpaper... Now I know what you might be thinking... Just go out and get yourself some chapstick, leave-in conditioner and some hand lotion and quit your bitchin'.... [i]ha ha ha... [/i]Well in my defence.. I do use leave-in... more than I probably should... I use hand creams hourly and I lube up my face twice a day.... And I swear if I used anymore Blistex I'd smell like a medicine cabinate!! [i]ha ha ha[/i].... So these are just the little things annoying me today.. and things I've noticed degrading since snowfall... I feel bad for Daddy... I think he has a skin allergy to the cold weather... His face gets really red and itchy and stings most of the time during the day :( Poor fella! I guess we'll have to move somewhere warm :roll: [i]oh darn[/i]...
Tonight we went to a movie with Cork... We went to see Team America.... "[i]America[/i]... FUCK YA!!".... [i]ha ha ha [/i]... I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.... Honestly if you are not a South Park fan... and don't really like the humour that the makers of South Park have to offer you.... I don't suggest seeing this movie... But if you don't take things too serious and like rauchy humour... and like puppets... this is the show for you!! I wasn't expecting to laugh so hard but I did... and it was a welcomed bellow... Lately I find ... Yes.. things have been going good... But I haven't laughed hard in a long time... It's weird... it's like a drug... laughing... I guess you could call it a laugh high.... My gut hurt... I even cried I was laughing so hard during some parts... It was a tear jerker... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... So after the movie we had the pleasure of driving home ... in the snow... and icey roads... and now it is dark... Boo... No fun.. but at least I'm not by myself... I hate driving in the snow by myself... There was no one on the roads... it was like a ghost town in the city tonight.... Nothing but gust of snow drifting left and right across the roads..... It was nice to get home... and into my warm PJs..... I admit it... I hate the cold weather... but I love wearing warm PJs!!
Well... I hope you all have had a great start to your weeks.... Until tommorow.. take care y'all....

[b]My Weekend [/b]:D
[b]Saturday - Sunday, October 16th - 17th, 2004[/b]
Finally... the end of the week.... Like I had mentioned in my previous blog... how long this week has seemed... Maybe it's just the fact that everyday that goes by I feel like it has been three... I dunno why I have felt this way that much this past week ... but I have... Normally I feel like days fly by and I can't remember what day it is b'cus it's always three days ahead of what day I think it is!! But now I think it's three days ahead and it's actually three days behind!! I guess I've just been up too many hours in the day... or maybe I've been getting more out of my hours :? ? Who knows.... all I know is.. somedays feel like they will never end..... For some of us that feeling is great... b'cus after all haven't we all had a day that we never wanted to end?? Like for example ... today Daddy is gonna help Oli move.... He has been looking forward to this day all week.... I know .. moving?? What's so exciting about that?? Well... I dunno.. but Daddy sure enjoys doing hands on chores.... If you need a wall painted or a box moved.... and he's within ear shot of hearing you mention needed the assistance... He's there!! So... a few weeks ago Oli mentioned that she needed help moving... She asked Daddy if he would mind helping out.... He offered... and so the date was set... Well.. now it's moving weekend... and Daddy is off to help out....
I got driven to work today... It snowed last night... YA that's right... IT SNOWED... and is still snowing.... So Daddy didn't want me to venture out in Charlie ... So he opted to drive me out to the store in the truck.... He gave Oli a call to confirm plans... He was under the impression that one of Oli's friends was going to have a truck and be helping out with the move too... Well... I guess Oli's friend bailed.... stating "well you haven't called in days... I figured whatever... I didn't bother to get the truck".... Oli says... "that's ok... you still wanna help out?"..... :roll: "ugh.... well not really... but if I [i]have[/i] too..." ..... "Don't bother"... Oli says... Daddy felt bad for Oli... she really had no help... from anybody... Daddy was the only one there to help her out... As they were packing out boxes from her friend's place ... all her friends including their macho men... all stood around watching them... And seriously... there wasn't much... if everyone help with one box I am sure she would have been out in seconds.... But... that's how some people are... They didn't say they would help... so why should they?? Well... uhhh... if you say you are her friend.... why aren't you helping her?? So anyways... Daddy took her out for lunch ... they had yummy burgers... and they got to talking... Daddy felt really comfy with Oli... something he doesn't experience often... he found it very refreshing to have lunch with a different person and still be able to have a convo that isn't ackward.... I guess like myself... he also finds it hard to relate to people when talking with them... but it is more than relate... b'cus honestly you don't have to relate to someone to have a convo with them... You can listen to what they say and try to relate... but you don't have to relate... So during lunch it was nice for him to talk with her and converse about her life... which is different than ours and is hard to relate to since we don't live like she lives... He also found most of her items very interesting as well too... He found it very interesting that she plays guitar and has hockey sticks... Someone who has a tonne of 'friends' memorbilia.... But still has hockey cards and stats.... He finds her to be a refreshing mix to the average person... She isn't all that she seems... and it is interesting hanging out with her and hearing her points of view.... So needless to say he had a very enjoyable day with Oli helping her out in the snow.... plus he got an extra work-out who can complain about that!!
Our night that night was spent inside... no way was I gonna go out in the cold and snow... It was a great night to laze around inside.... Tonight we had chili.... Yumm... I'm sure it wasn't as good as Daddy and Oli's burgers... but it wasn't bad for my first batch of chili I've ever made.... A great day... and a good night... kitties are extra lovey... must have been a long week for them too...
On Sunday we helped Oli move her bed in.... Three flights of stairs... no elevator and narrow doorways... It was a joy... Well... I wouldn't know since I didn't really help out.. I was kinda the 'stand at the door and hold it open' girl... While Oli and Daddy did all the hands-on stuff... [i]Meh[/i]... that's all good.. I don't mind not doing a thing... [i]ha ha ha[/i].... So once we helped Oli get her bed in her room we decided to 'chrisen' the room.... we rolled up a fat smoke and had a smoke while we all sat on her bed and yapped about all the different trickets she has packed away in each box... I see she is still a huge Olier fan... I guess she isn't liking this hockey strike we have going on right now... But oh well... gives us all more time to hang out I guess... I'm honestly not a huge hockey buff... So when someone is up for watching the game... I exit stage right... Since saturday nights is usually hockey night in canada... we would miss out on hanging out with Oli b'cus she'd be tied to the tube... But this year she doesn't have her games to watch so I guess that means more hanging out!!! That's if she still wants too.. [i]ha ha ha[/i]... I kidd... I always say to her... "Now that you have moved to the other side of town you're never gonna call again..." .... "NOO.. I'm not gonna do that... but it is gonna be harder to see you guys more often b'cus now it's further to go.. it's not just a walk down the road for me anymore"..... We figured she would figure the same thing... It is further... but honestly considering our only friends around here are like a 3 hour drive or more away from here... I don't think a 20 minute drive is gonna kill us... we told her "no worries".... "we'll still all get together".... I don't really want to lose out on what frienship we have with Oli just b'cus she lives on the other side of town.... We offered to take her out today.... But she had un-packing to do... and I understand that!! I hate seeing boxes full that need un-packing... it drives me nuts... So we left...
Today there is a dog show.... I have been thinking about weenie dogs again... and I think one day ... one of these years.... sooner than later... I'm gonna track down a breeder and get myself a miniture dachshund ... There is a breeder in Kelowna... We go there often.. So I'm thinking maybe the next time I'm in the city I might drop in and see their breeders.... Then maybe one day I'll have a little weenie doggie running around with me... So anyways... I'm getting off topic... We were going to the dog show... I was hoping to see weenie dogs.... and I did... I didn't get to see the kind I would like... but these little guys were soo cute... They were the long haired variety... and they were shy... But tiny... they were miniture... which is what I wanted to see... Regular dachshunds are small... but they're still a bit too big for what I want a doggy to be... But when I found out they come in mini!! Well... I've been on the net tracking them down since... I'm in love... but I'm still not ready to be a doggy Mommy yet...
Tonight we had another night in... It's still snowing and there's no signs of it really letting up... So fuck it.. we're gonna stay in our nice warm home all day... We rented movies... and had leftover chili and had a nice ol' afternoon/evening tucked in... It was a nice way to end our weekend... Now if only this darn snow would let up... and my fingers could de-thaw.... I don't think that'll be happening any day soon.... So hopefully.... you are all somewhere warm and cozy.... and all had a great weekend.....
Until tommorow... take care y'all

[b]Friday, October 15th, 2004...[/b]
Ah.... finally it is nearing the end of the week... I figured this week would have flown by since we had a long weekend last weekend... but.. no... It has seemed more like two weeks smooshed into one .... I think our bodies are starting to adjust to their new schedule... This is how we used to be... up late... Well.. not late LATE... but later than 10pm.... It would be amazing if we could stay up past 10!! But now... with working until 9pm most nights... and getting up early.... I also think getting up earlier and exercising helps with us staying up later too... I know it sounds weird... B'cus honestly some days I can get up just tooo early... and I am bagged by 9 - 10ish.... But I do find on average we have been staying up slightly later than normal.... Being on a schedule can sometimes make you feel refreshed... Well.. maybe I'm the only one that finds comfort in organization... and schedules.... I know Daddy couldn't give two shits.... or I should say wouldn't give two shits if I wasn't around.... or so anal about it... But we have managed to get up... get dressed and ready for the gym... drive there... and get an hour in before we have to be at home getting ready for work... TICK TOCK TICK TOCK.... I feel like that rabbit in Alice in Wonderland... "we're running late we're running late!!".... Half the time my life seems as fuckd up as wonderland too[i]... ha ha ha...[/i] Or so my mind likes to believe.....
Well.... it's our final long day of the week... Cork is coming in to train tonight... [i]"URGH"[/i] Daddy says with a huge sigh..... He has been here all week when Cork has come into 'train'... I feel bad for Daddy... But honestly... I really wanted to cook dinner... That's the key to losing weight... it's not only the exercise... it's what you eat too... So... I went... but tonight I decided to stay here and help Daddy out... I handled all the Cork training today.... We spent the afternoon surifng the net and channels... man o man is it boring some days... I must admit... I have been watching all my old soaps again... and nothing really has changed.... Well... OK... when I was a daily Days watcher all the teens in turmoil right now were babies... or being concived in seedy scandlous affairs.... Like olny the soaps can provide.... So now... 7-8 years later... they're all 19-20's and going through their seedy scandlous affairs.... It's all just too exciting... [i]ya right[/i].... but honstly when you are bored... You'll watch it[i]... ha ha ha[/i].... :oops:
Cork showed up early for his 'shift' today :shock: Amazing since the only day I was here and he was coming into train he showed up half hour late.... Not that it really matters... [i]But still[/i].. you could take something serious!! Well... tonight he shows up with... reading material ... huh?? Cork likes to read?? I always had him pegged as a comic book and video game mags kinda guy... But... He has gotten into Dr. Phil.. Not I'm not gonna knock Dr. Phil... B'cus honestly I think that guy is pretty dead on with his analysis of people and family problems.... Soo... anyways... back to Cork.. Well.. Cork got the Dr.'s new book about families... I think it's called something like .. Family First... Honestly.. I commend Cork for actually wanting to read about how dysfunctional his family life was while he was growing up... Daddy for years has been verbally getting out all his childhood stuff too with me over the years.... It could only be a good thing to get things out or if it helps to read about ways to change how you feel... then do that... I know if I can get into a really good book about motivation or about anything I really wanted to set my mind to ... I would get into it... So good on Cork... It was funny though.. b'cus Dr. P is one of our daily watches... since there isn't anything really on during that time ... and yesterday he had a show on families and how dysfunctional they are... and how they needed Dr. P to save them... Welll..... There was a father that thought he was the most 'perfect' father ever... Something both Daddy and Cork agree their father thinks... We all said tonight about how funny it would be to call Dr. P and ask him to help our family... ha ha ha ha... The boys both agreed that they think their father would get up and leave the stage... and their mother could be brought to tears in seconds... Their mother thinks she is wholier than thou too... So we all agreed it would be a big eye opener for them to actually have someone tell them they're shitty parents.... and we're shitty parents raising them too... But.. that would never happen... I doubt his father or mother will ever come to the conclusion that they weren't good parents... I admit.. my mother has done some shitty things... and I veiw my family as being dysfunctional... But honestly.. I can say I had a happy childhood... Overall my family experiences have been happy ones... Daddy and Cork can't say that... It's sad ... but they have both come to terms with the fact that they were born as an excessory.... It may sound bizarre... but trust me... it's the way their family life has been.... So.. like I started with... Cork was reading his Dr. P book... and I helped with customers when we had them.... Boy.. everyone was yappy tonight... I think every customer that came in tonight had a story to tell...
Finally.. home time... Today has felt like a very long day... No cooking for me tonight.. Daddy offered sushi.. and since I'm such a sushi addict!! I couldn't resist... plus.. it's not like I'd be breaking the diet rules.... :D I feel really great about the way things have been going with our weight loss plan... and cooking dinners... and cleaning up[i]... ha ha ha[/i]... I guess I'm becoming an adult!! Well other than the weight loss plan... But I have been finding cooking dinners and actually cleaning the house really makes you feel good about yourself.... Well... I have a confession to make... I sinned... I am a diet SINNER!! I had candies tonight... and some chcoalte... BOO... I ate way too much tonight in the junk food department :( Oh well... tommorow is another day.. I guess I'll have t mark down all my bad deeds in my food journal... :oops:
It's chilly... very chilly tonight... I think it might snow tonight... BrRrRrR... I don't wanna see snow yet!! As I gt ready for bed I peek out the window... and no sign of the white stuff yet!! Maybe the weather peeps were full o' it!! Well... with a warm tea and a 3 warm (fuzzy) men beside me... I called it a night... [i]he he he... [/i]:wink:
So unitl tommorow... take care y'all

[b]Thursday, October 14th, 2004....[/b]
Things have been going great with our morning work-outs... We've been getting up... doing our hour... and when we have the time we stretch and yap with the new gym girl... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... Ya.. P... I'll call her ... replaced Sumi... as the daily morning gym front counter girl... She's really nice... and I take her all my celeb gossip mags when I'm done with them... I later see the mags get recycled... after P is done with them they filter into the gym mags... I see many a lady reading up on all their weekly celeb gossip... thanx to me :D I'm not the only one who wants to read about what all those crazy and way too rich celebs are doing.... So to all the ladies who read your favorite US Weekly or InTouch every week at the gym... you are welcome... It's my nosey need that supports yours... [i]Ha ha ha[/i]... I'm the first one in that magazine store tuesday morning picking them all up... I'm such a dork.... Soo... Our work-out was good... sweaty.. but good... I've managed to lose 6+ pounds... in these past 2 weeks.... I'm figuring by the end of this month I will be back down to my goal weight.... *keeping my fingers crossed*.... I've been cooking dinner every night for the past week.. and honestly.. I LOVE it... and the meals are super low cal... low fat.... and actually taste good!! So I think I'll stick with my new cook book...
We also had the pleasure of tanning this morning.... I know it's not considered to be good for you... But I love to lie in that booth twice a week and get my 'tan' on... I feel like it is somewhat of a moment of meditation lying in there.... I love to just lie there and think.... or I space out and listen to music... This isn't out of the normal for us.. tanning.. but... the reason why I am blogging about it today is b'cus Mik... the lady that works at the tanning place.... mentions to us... "are you two still looking for a girlfriend??" .... A few weeks back.. well actually maybe it was only last week... Mik mentioned that she was wanting to set up a speed dating web-site for the city we live in..... But when she did a search she found that one was coming soon... So she thought .. BOO.. I can't do my web-site now... So Daddy and I mention maybe if she did a couples searching for singles or couples site... she might have some interest in that too... B'cus there are alot of couples seeking other couples.... or couples seeking singles.... and there is even singles searching for couples to be a part of.... So we said... maybe this might be an avenue of interest... she agreed... B'cus we are part of this demographic I mention how it is impossible to find a person such as a single female looking to be a part of a relationship online... b'cus every dating web-site I have come across seems to limit what you can mention in your profiles and being married or looking for a single girl to be part of your relationship is something that most dating web-sites prevent you from mentioning.... Mik agreed... she has heard many others mention the same thing... :D Yea... we're not weirdos!! We're not creepy and weird b'cus we seek someone to be with us in more than a sexual way... So... this was weeks back that we had this convo... Then today she mentions about how she met a girl that is interested in meeting a couple... and being in a relationship... not just a 'wham bam'... We're not looking for that... I guess Mik's brother and sister in-law where approached by this girl... but they weren't interested in a three-way relationship... When Mik heard about it she thought about us... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... and she thought maybe I'll play matchmaker... So who knows.... maybe one of these days I'll be blogging about Mik's blind date....
Well... as if the day hasn't been filled with enough mental stimulation... I have been thinking about how it's been appox. a year since I told my ex-employer to "fuck off" and packed my shit and headed out the door.... I've never looked back... I am way way WAY happier now... even though somedays at the store seem way too long... and very mentally draining b'cus of the lack of mental stimulation... [i]ha ha ha... unless you want to mentally get stimulated other ways... ha ha ha[/i].. But seriously... I have thought about my blow out... and how much I am way happier and on to a more healthier and happier life now that I have the freedom to do so and not the hassles of running a business that I don't even own!! I don't miss my 10+ hrs. a day... and I don't miss those lovely pep talks or lectures ... I don't miss all the guilt trips and the bull shit that came along with being the most responsible and least paid employee... I don't miss a thing!!
Just when I couldn't think the day would get more interesting... we get a special visitor.... Daddy went out for a 'smoke' and when he comes back in he starts to mention... "there's a cop outside".... He hightaileder to the bathroom to wash his hands and brush his teeth... and I stood up front wondering... "is this cop coming in here?? or waiting for someone to get off a bus??" .... Well.. beep beep beep... The door opens and the officer comes into the store asking for Daddy :shock: "He's just in the washroom right now... hold on.." .. My mind was racing... I wondered why the officer was here... maybe they found Nikki?... [i]ha ha ha[/i].... Or maybe it was about the credit card bullshit we had to go through last week.... or maybe it was the 'smoke' break... But as Daddy comes out and the officer introduces himself.... and starts to mention why he is here... Well it's not about the credit cards... or the 'smoke' break.. [i]ha ha ha[/i]... It was about the fake $100 bill we got last month.... He wasn't here for Daddy at all he was here to talk to me.. about the person that handed the bill to me... Well... talk about feeling like you're on CSI... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... just kidding... But it was funny...[i] "she looked like this.... she bought that"[/i]... It's a good thing I like to look at people... I could definately describe her or pick her out of a line-up... if I had to... I was even asked if I could do that if it comes to that.... Very weird... and heart pounding... In some sick way I felt like I was the bad guy....
What an exciting day so far...Keeping on my cooking kick ... I decided to head home early... to make dinner and get myself positioned in front of the tube... it's Thursday night... Surivior and CSI... my favorite tv watching night of the week.... I made curried chicken & shrimp tonight... with Indonesian fried rice... :? [i]Meh[/i]... It was ok... I've discovered I'm not a curry fan... Daddy loved it... Maybe he is being nice... But he ate it all.. even what I didn't eat and the left overs!! My little human left over disposal.... My shows were good.. as always expected on Thursdays... I think if it's not a rerun it's great!! Tonight the guys and gals got mixed up on Surivior... and Bubba got the boot!!... Which is great... I hated that guy... :x Mad at myself tonight though.... I fell asleep during the last half of CSI... and I don't know how it ended... BOO... I woke up at midnight with drool running down my face and a cat nipping at my lip.... I felt like I had a rough night of rockin' out... Wow.. I must be wrecked... my body must be weak!... Crawled up the stairs... cuddled in with Daddy and Cuj... Tawnie following close behind... with us all in bed it was time to turn off the tv and snuggle in for the night.... It's supposed to be getting chilly the next few nights....
Until tommorow... take care.. and stay warm...

[b]Wednesday, October 13th, 2004....[/b]
:shock: YEeeee... owsa!! Daddy and I were not getting along at all this morning.... Why?... Well... I kinda got bent last night about a thing he did that he didn't think was that big of a deal... and well... I DID... So... when he rolled over and went to sleep last night instead of talking to me about it then... I guess I festered and this morning at the slightest mention of 'the incident' I got pissed and popped... What it was ... was that Daddy went to the gym yesterday while I was at work... [i]He was supposedly out doing other things... [/i]Now this isn't what my problem was.... my problem was... he didn't even mention it to me when he got back to the store... normally he mentions ever tiny little thing he does when he runs errands but he purposly left out the gym visit b'cus he figured I'd get upset at the fact that he went without me.... Now.. yes I may have been a slight bit envious... but honestly... I wouldn't have FREAKED OUT like he thought I would... BUT I did freak out when I discovered he went... asked him and he told me he didn't tell me b'cus he didn't want to get bitched at.... Soooo... that makes me feel like... O.K... if you aren't telling me about stupid shit like going to the gym... what's to say that one day it won't turn into other shit you are doing during the day that you aren't telling me about b'cus I may 'bitch' you out?? We tore into each other for a few minutes... felt like hours... but we didn't have that much time this morning to really get into it... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... kidding... We don't normally argue much anymore and when we do... it's mostly me yap yap yap.... [i]I feel like this... you make me feel like that[/i]... I'm a typical woman... I wanna talk about every little issue and how it makes me feel... [i]ha ha ha[/i].... And him... well he doesn't quite understand at times... but when I can word it in a way that he can see my point of view... He understands... He is very good that way... I think some if not most men would opt to say... "ah... shut-up all ready!!"... than to actually listen to thier girlfriend or spouse .... Daddy listens... and actually tries to help eliviate my severe issues.... It's way too much to get into... but in short form... I am very praticular [i]at moments[/i]... and I get over whelmed... b'cus all those things I am praticular about aren't getting done!! And then... I fester... and I hold it all in until one damn day we decided to have a blow out and I bawl about how he doesn't hang his keys on they key hook.... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... Talk about confussing a guy... I start with why didn't you tell me about the gym and how the principal of not telling me something b'cus of my reaction to whatever it is you did.... is wrong.... to... why don't you ever use your key hook??.... iye iye yei.... I can now relate to why Daddy was so confussed..... But he got the point... Don't lie to me... or I'm gonna bitch!!
Well... an afternoon of silence... well not really silence in the bad way... But you could tell it was the calm after a big storm... I was feeling like a shit... and Daddy... well I don't know what was running through his mind... at moments he let's me in and at others he doesn't care to share or he is re-mulling over something he has everyday!! He is definately a muller... he thinks all the time... I wish I had a way to shut his mind off for him... he gets really worn out by always worrying about things... I think he just needs some time to relax... maybe we'll take a nice holiday someday soon... It seems like the Cork training is going alright.... It's funny... another bonus of having Cork work the store for us... other than our weekend and evenings... is that when we're not working... he is... therefore... He won't be hanging off our asses during our time off.... :D
Well... we watched a movie during the afternoon .... Raising Helen... cute show.. I didn't mind it... Kinda made me think about having kids.... [i]only for a milli-second.... [/i]Then I researched weenie doggies online... Maybe one day I will be a stay at home doggy & kitty Mommy.... I can cook and clean all day and all my daily chores will be done... and I won't feel so overwhelmed all the time!! A girl can dream ... right.. [i]ha ha[/i].. :wink: After the video and looking at all the cute doggies online ... it was time for me to go home and cook dinner... I've decided that I will go home at 6ish to cook dinner and by the time I get dinner cooked and everything all cleaned up I can go back out to the store and get Daddy... then we can enjoy a nice home cooked meal together... Instead of what ever fast food is on the way home and scarffing it down in the car on the drive home.... I made dinner last night... and that turned out good... and tonight I'm gonna try my knack at another chicken recipe... This one looks good too... Crispy Potato Chicken.... I must say... the house smelled awesome and I couldn't wait to get Daddy from work to enjoy dinner.... He was having a shitty day... and I feel like I majorly contributed to that.... So I wanted to do something special for him... So I chilled some beers for him and had his glass in the freezer chilling... So when he got home... he had a home cooked meal... a chilled beer in a frosty mug and a clean house to look at.... :D I think it helped his mood ... He loved his din din and we cuddled up and watched tv until we dozed off......
It may have started out as a day from hell... but it turned out to be an alright day..... So until tommorow... take care y'all....

[b]Tuesday, October 12th, 2004....[/b]
Well... it's another week.... and another beginning to a long and drawn out week of anticipating 'something' ... 'anything' to happen so we have something exciting to do or say we did or saw .... this weekend... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... But it's only Tuesday Morning!! I'm really [i]just[/i] rambling... I'm really not thinking about what's gonna go down this weekend... B'cus honestly... nothing ever goes down on our weekends... We're very routine individuals... we still go to the gym on the weekends... About the only thing that is different about our weekends is that we only get one day to ourselves... so your day off seems very limited on how you're going to spend it... B'cus honestly my idea lately about an awsome day off would be to sleep and lounge in bed all day! But... I also would like to have a normal weekend more often... and not just once a month whenever there is a long weekend (or reason) to close the store.... All of these thoughts have also been running through Daddy's mind too.... hence the reason why he says to me as we're driving home from the gym this morning.... "I'mma gonna call Cork and ask him if he wants to start working w'ends..." .... "this sucks..." ... I think Daddy is also starting to want weekends again too...
This past weekend my family went to BC to visit my ill Grandfather.... He is in the beginning stages of altzimers... He has no one in his house to take care of him or help him with things around the house... and with it being Thanksgiving and a time for family to be together my Mother felt it neccisary to go and be with him over this holiday season... My cousin... her fella.. my brother and my p'rents all loaded into their truck and took the long drive to BC.... I opted to stay behind with Daddy... They all wanted me to go... We wanted to go... but... with having a store... you can't just close the store and go away for days... My Mother came into the store today and picked up her house keys.... told me about their trip and how G'pa is doing... but he is getting fragile... My Mom told me the saddest story... she told me about how they all had a big family dinner at G'pa's place Sunday... He was smiling all night... talking to 'Mum'... my Grandma... whom died 5 or more yrs. ago... He kept saying.. "see Mum... we're all here... we're all here with you...." :( Kinda sad hey?? Well that's not the saddest part... b'cus honestly.. it wasn't that sad for him... he was the happiest he has been in a long while that night.... But the next morning... all of my family who live out of town packed up and started to say their goodbyes to him.... and he started to cry... :cry: He was so sad to see everyone to go..... I thought that was the saddest thing of all.... He was on such a high... the highest of highs!! Then the next morning CRASH!! Everyone is leaving him... and he is gonna be in his house all alone again... :( So sad... I wish we lived closer... I'd hang out with him everyday... but 9+ hrs. for coffee is a bit far to go......
Well... tonight was Cork's first 'training' session.... We're gonna get him working a few hours at the store... and maybe soon... we'll be able to take a weekend to ourselves... and be able to go home at a decent hour to make dinner... Speaking of making dinner today I had my mind set on making our dinner tonight... Actually bent on cooking dinner every night... I wanna start to DO something for my hubby... I wanna do something for myself!! Since I have been un-employeed or retired as I like to call it... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... I have felt the need to do something... I picked up blogging... which has helped... but I still feel like my days go by and I haven't fullfilled some part of myself... and that part isn't work... I feel the need for more domestic bliss.... So I looked through my healthy cookin' book... and found a great chicken recipe.... I call it the 3 G's chicken... Grilled, Garlic, Ginger Chicken.... It turned out great! I'm bitten by the domestic bug... tommorow I'mma gonna do this 'cooking' thing again... So tonight with a nice yummy home cooked meal in our bellies and some fuzzy bellies that require attention.... Daddy crawls to bed... and I finish up my cleaning.... and I think.... "ya.. I think I could handle this homemaker job..."
So until tommorow... sweet sweepings and take care y'all...

[b]My Weekend...[/b]
[b]Saturday - Monday, October 9 - 11th, 2004.....[/b]
WOW!! I feel awesome!! I haven't felt this awesome in a long long time... I actually feel like doing stuff!! I actually WANT to get up every morning and go to the gym... I actually WANT to get out and do things and not sit around our house.... Since Thursday I have been at home cleaning... Saturday was no exception... I drove Daddy to work and I came home to finish the last of the chores I had written on my trusty chore list :wink: [i]ha ha ha[/i].... Very impressed with myself... Got them alllll done!! I cannot believe how happy I feel that my house is clean!! And I mean clean like... everywhere clean... Even though... by the time 7 o'clock rolled around Saturday evening and we're all cozy and comfy in the confines of our clean house... signs of kitty hair tumble weeds start to revile themselves... grrrr... and litter trails begin out of the litter room... grrrr.... Ya sure... Daddy and I can keep up with keeping our house clean... since we're not at home most of the day... BUT it's not us that is making the majority of the daily mess..... it's those darn cats!! GrRrRr.... If they weren't soo fuzzy and cute... why I'dda .....
This weekend we didn't really know what was up.... We knew my family was out of town... and we knew Daddy's Mom was out of town ... so his family wouldn't be expecting us there... and we don't have anybody else around this place to hang with.... Our buddy in C-town bailed... well actually to tell you the truth... He expected us to drive there after we got off work on Saturday night and bring him 'stuff' from our store.... [i]how nice[/i].... Half the time I wonder why do we bother even thinking that we have friends when they treat us like that... We don't have many friends.... And the 'friends' we do have live out of town... no offence to them... But I feel that if we don't drive there to see them we'd never see them... And half the time it's expected b'cus we have been the 'drivers' in the past... But unfortunatley now we work full time ... so that means we don't get off on Friday like other full-timers... We get off Sat. night... and we only get one day off!! So... when we're expected to get into our car and drive to see you b'cus all day you wanted to hang at home all day... it kinda pisses me off.... B'cus if the tables were reversed.... you know I'd do it for you!! Daddy and I were bitchin'.... friends shmends!! Just as the phone rings.... what dya know?? We do have a friend!! Oli was phone... "Hey!!... So what's up this w'end?..... I got dinner with the fam tonight... but I'll come over tommorow and we can have dinner... then I dunno..." :shock: Holy fuck!! We actually have a friend that calls.... AND plans the day!! [i]ha ha ha[/i]... I find this very amazing b'cus most people we meet are flighty... menaing: they say "ya I'll call you"... or... "ya let's hook up this w'end"... then you never see them again or you get the 'runaround'.... So when you met someone... they hang out with you all the previous weekend.... then they call you... (actually she likes to text... so much better than phoning!! If your a type junkie like me.. [i]ha ha ha[/i]...) during the week... AND they call to secure plans!! It's very refreshing to find a friend that puts in that amount of work into the friendship... b'cus honestly... in this day in age I find it very hard to find a friend like that... and I really think Oli might be a great friend one day!....
So ... Oli came by on Sunday night.... We decided to try our knack at being chefs.... We went out shopping and picked up some cubed meat and made a bunch of different marinades and made kabobs ... stoked up the firepit and had a good ol' fire cook out that night with Oli... I must say... I didn't think I knew what I was doing... Since I'm not very domestic... But the marinades I made from scratch we're kick ass!! :D I think I might be able to do this cooking thing!.... It started to get chilly... and Oli was adventurous... she wore her flip flops :shock: yeowsa... can we say chilly feet?? So we ventured inside for a movie... Well... with all our preperations for the day the anticipation and getting up so early... and porbably the fact that we have been working out everyday and it has been exhausting us... I feel like a bad host... We fell asleep during the movie... Oli woke us up... and said she was gonna go home... :oops: I really didn't want to do that... but we can't help it... We're sleepy mo'fo's after 10 pm.... [i]ha ha ha...[/i]
Having an extra day off ment we can actually do some of the things we didn't manage to do on our normal day off.... For us that was going for a walk through our ravine... The river valley in our city is so pretty and great way of getting extra exercise... We texted Oli... "Mornin' Dude... We're gonna go c Sharktale.... wanna come?? Call us.... :)"...... We got a call... Oli decided to come along for the walk through the ravine and a movie... During our walk... we all started to think... Why are we doing this again?? [i]ha ha ha[/i]... I haven't been out on a hike in months... and I could tell!! But once we got to the theatre and we're eating our popcorn I was thankful we did walk there... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... The movie was alright... I'd say it wasn't the best I've seen but definately not the worst.... After the show we all looked at each other and the thought was mutual... "wanna LRT and bus it home?"... We're not normally public transit people Daddy and I... But I must say it was very fun... and a convienient way to get around....
After our adverturous day journey.... We all wound up at our place and yapped for a while... before we realized that we shoul all call it a night... Oli has to work tommorow at 6 am and we have our week to get on with too... So until the next weekend that we can all hang out again we called it a night.... We drove Oli home... which we shoulda just walked.... She doesn't live that far... But we were all bagged... and we wanted to see Oli's roommate's kitty... I've heard that little kitty meowing every time Oli calls from home... and the kitty just sounds sooo cute we had to see it!! And the cat delivered.... she was just as cute as her little meow over the phonelines....
It was a great weekend.... We didn't get any turkey :( No one we knew was hosting... We were gonna host if we had company from outta town... but... oh well... kinda saved us all that eating... even though it is my most favorite day of the eating year... yummmm all those turkey and cranberry with stuffing sandwiches.... Well I hope most of you did get to have turkey.... and that all your weekends went well....
Until tommorow... take care y'all

[b]Friday, October 8th, 2004....[/b]
Nearing the end of the week... and still no sign of us wanting to slow down with our work-outs... I find myself wanting to do more but I don't have the time :( Boo... we used to always have time... I guess maybe I should start getting up earlier... This morning I had no problems getting out of bed early ... I had been making a mental list of all the chores I wanted to get done all night... I had soo much fun cleaning yesterday I have decided to get it all done!! And I mean it all..... I have written down a list of everything I haven't done in... hummm... well :roll: since probably we moved in!! YAK!! I know!! But times flies and I'm not very good at getting under things all the time... sure... the immediate visual spots get the attention but the rest falls by the way side.... and with all our room changes... we have stuff where it shouldn't belong... or it's just plain messy!! Blah.... So... got a good old trusty list....
Daddy opted to leave me at home all day :D yeah... lots o' time to clean ... Man listen to me ... I've become obsessed with getting the house clean!! Actually cleaning in general.... I've been really enjoying this... but my body isn't... My ass hurts ... my shoulders are achey... all my finger nails are shot to shit... and I could probably tell you what every cleaning product I have is by smell... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... But I must admit... I have been getting closer and closer to my end goal of having a 'ground-zero' home... Now it's the up-keep that's important :wink:
Well... after a long and lonesome day for Daddy he comes home to a still frazzled clean clean clean machine ... me.... He was kind enough to pick up dinner... Man ... gotta love that guy... But must admit.. very hard to get things done with him around... He wants attention... and says "ah.. screw the cleaning"... but that's what has got us in this trouble in the first place!! [i]Ha ha ha.[/i].. I say " Most men would love it if their wives were so into cleaning that they couldn't sleep b'cus they are thinking about cleaning..." He looks at me.. pouts... then agrees... at least he helped me make the bed... and try to fend off the darn cat!! Damn that Tawnie... always on clean sheet day... geesh!!
So on some nice new jersy knit sheets and with the fresh warm and clean smell of vanilla and cleaning supplies... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... we were off to bed...
Happy friday y'all... and have a good weekend.. and if you're Canadian... Happy Thanksgiving!!

[b]Thursday, October 7th, 2004....[/b]
I'm very happy with myself :D even though the scale shows no weight loss since yesterday.... Which what does that [i]really[/i] count for anyways?? I can drink no water one day and weigh in and the next drink the water and weigh in way more than the previous day!! Just b'cus of water!! Water is a funny thing when it comes to weight loss... [i]and weight gain[/i].... They say... drink lots... it will help you lose weight... ok... but if you're a scale watcher and want to see some sort of result on the scale every day in order to feel like you're getting somewhere.... water can frustrate you everyday!! I am a bit of a scale watcher.... over the years of losing weight I have realized I can't rely on [i]just[/i] what the scale says.... [i][b]But... [/b][/i]in the same breath... from gaining lots of weight in the past I also recognize the signs that I am gaining weight... and not just 'retaining' water.... and honestly... in the past 9 months I've been a shit to my body... I was there!! I got to my goal weight and I got to where I wanted to look and feel physically... I was feeling hot... Well I got over worked and started to feel exausted[i](mentally more so than physically... I think) [/i]... that and I was a silly girl and started to eat when I got bummed.... and since mid Feb I've been a shit!! So... blah blah blah I could make excuses for myself but I've got tired of listening to them... I know I can do it... I did!! I just have to get back into that mind set again... the eye of the tiger again... :twisted: [i]grrrrr.... [/i]
So today... I noticed Daddy and I are really nit picky at each other... I've senced an edge on him all week and [i]I know[/i] he knows I haven't been in the greatest of moods these past few days.... So I figured .... our house has been a mess... well not a [i]terrible[/i] mess... but it is still un-organized [i](to my liking)[/i] in some rooms and the house just really requires that 'womanly clean' touch... no offence to Daddy and his housekeeping... he's a great guy for house cleaning... but there are just a few things I prefer done... [b][i]my[/i][/b] way... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... I'm anal that way... Half the time the guy is so terrified of fucking up one of my verbal orders that he requires me writting him a list of how I want it done... :lol: it's kinda funny... but also sad :( am I really that scary? It makes me feel very bitchy when I do write list... but honestly... if I didn't write down every damn little nit picky thing I wanted to get done... we'd forget half of them!! And then 6 months from now I'll be "urgh" we didn't do this and now I need it done!! I guess I also require a list too.... So wrote a list... :wink: [i]ha ha ha... seriously... [/i]kissed Dady good bye... and went to good ol' Wally mart and picked up a wack of cleaning supplies...
Man... I feel like I got alot of good shit for our place... cleaning wise... Don't you love it when you have new cleaning supplies and everything smells fruity and clean?? Ya... I love that!! I cranked the music [i](NERD... man I love those guys) [/i]... and started off on my cleaning bliss!! I forget how much I love to clean house... some days I think I'm lousy at being a housewife.. b'cus I can go either way... I can be lazy... and sit on the couch and not give a flying phuc.. but... then there is that lean mean clean machine... the one that wants to work-out like a machine and clean like one too!! So I find myself really getting off on being 'domestic'... Now if only I could learn how to cook healthy, LOW fat meals... that taste good!! [i]ha ha ha[/i]... oh and preferably made [b]all[/b] of meat... b'cus Daddy loves his beef! [i]ha ha ha... [/i]I find myself trying to figure out how to be more 'domestic' but honestly... I don't have the time when I'm at the store all day... [i]Sure[/i] I start at 11... but I also have to sqeeze in an hour + work-out ... shower.. which requires hair time!! [i]ha ha ha... [/i]and sometimes get stock all before work!!... I really don't have time to clean at night when I come home at 9... and even when we get off at 7... we're really not in the mood to clean and cook... So it can really start to feel draining... but I also love how scheduled our lives are.... I could tell you where I'd be almost every damn day... [i]and so can most of you daily readers.... [/i]I'm like that... scheduled... organized... I prefer a [i]'organized & anally tidy' [/i]house... to a [i]'clean & everything is away' [/i]house... I know to some it may seem like I'm slightly anal... so that is why I offer to do this sort of 'anal' cleaning.... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... ANAL ANAL ANAL... how many times can I say anal??? I'm sure some sick phuc is reading this because they thought they hit a hot blog about anal... [i]ha ha ha[/i]... Anyways... I came home and cleaned all afternoon.... it felt gooooood.... :D
Tonight felt good... I enjoyed my cleaning session... and Survivor was on tonight.. so can't go wrong with that... OH.. and CSI... also major ++
Overall ... I had a great day! I hope you all did too!! So until tommorow.... take care y'all!

| 10.07.04 (2:37 pm) [edit] |
[b]Wednesday, October 6th, 2004.…[/b]
We are well on our way to being back on our morning work-out kick… To tell you the truth… we’ve both been serious about our shape up this time… I think why we fail so much at trying to go to the gym is [b]A. [/b]We go to much. & [b]B. [/b]We both have to motivate each other to go! Needless to say we’ve both been motivators for each other… until the day we both don’t wanna go… [i]ha ha ha[/i]… So… this morning was actually a great morning… * key word: morning * We got up early and ended up having spare time to do things for ourselves…Daddy wants a new pair of shoes and a new work-out top…. and me.. well… I kinda wanted to look at some new make-up[i]…. te he he[/i]… So… we ventured to the mall… and I got to look at all the purdy eyeshadow colors and Daddy got to check out the mall’s athletic clothing suppliers… Besides finding [i]and getting [/i]new make-up… which made for a good morning… We had an awesome talk this morning too… What is friendship?? Why is there a boundary to what a friendship has to be?? You’re probably going… huh?? What I mean by these comments is… when I was young and felt close to someone I would cuddle them… or just wanna be close to that person in general… It was never a ‘weird’ thing or even a ‘sexual’ thing… It was a ‘hey I like you’ thing…. I can remember as early back as when I was a wee little girl and I would cuddle with my mom or my brother or my father… I never thought that was ‘weird’ or ‘sexual‘… When I grew older and had best friends… we would all cuddle up on the couch and watch movies together… that wasn’t considered ‘weird’ … or ’sexual’… But somewhere in between when I was a 15 year old and now… [i](I’m 26... btw…) [/i]something changed… I honestly think it’s just the way society thinks… seriously… Think about it… most people get ‘weirded out’ if a friend comes up to them and hugs them… Heaven forbid you hold their hand as they walk down the street or cuddle up to them while watching a movie :gasp: That’s just considered way too ‘sexual’… or pervy or just ‘not right’ as some may want to think… Now… I understand some people have a boundary to themselves…. They don’t like having people in their space or people walking up to them and touching them…. OK.. I can understand that… but what I don’t understand is why is it so hard to develop that type of trusting ‘affection-ship’ with friends?? Why must everything be taken in a ‘sexual’ context?? If I hug one of my guy friends or I’m too flirty or open with my male friends I would be assumed to be an adulterer… Most would probably opt to assume I was having an affair with my friend … Than think about the real story… the truth… that fact that we’re just friends…. I get this alot with most of my guy friends… I must say I don’t have many … but the ones I do have …. I trust them and know that when I hold their hand or give them a big hug or even bat an eyelash or two their way … they know it’s strictly fun!! I am just like that… but some are more opt to think I’m easy and a flirt.. So I guess they can live with their assumptions…. B’cus my cuddling lovin’ Momma always said… assuming makes an ass out of u and me… [i]ha ha ha[/i]…
But seriously…. I don’t think I’ve voiced this part of my day enough… Daddy and I were really stumped on this lack of friendly friends…. Actually lack of friends in general… and honestly if friends are gonna be so judgemental or assume you’re a ‘fruit’ b’cus you’re too cuddly… I don’t know if I even want them as friends… Frankly anyone who thinks being an affectionate people person is pervy or uncomfortable to be around… I don’t wanna be around them… But back on that pondering question stated earlier… What changed since age 15 until now?? I realize we all got older and now things seem ’weird’… but my Mom?? Well… turn back 5 years… before my recent problems with my Mom… She didn’t want us in her ’space’…. no more cuddles since we were kids… I haven’t exactly tried to cuddle up with my family members since my younger years… I figure it’s just too weird… But honestly… I do miss my sleepovers with my girlie friends… I miss those nights 5 crammed to a couch cuddled up watching horrors and eating junk (minus eating the junk)… Now it’s 4 to the couch… but I don’t think our furry buggers count… and Daddy.. well he’s a cuddle given!! He has been there by my side since my earlier years (15 and up)… As we grew together we had many moments where some would think we’re ’weirdos’ … I remember many a sleepover where it would be me and Daddy and my best girlie friend Rozzy or Twy in the bed with us… or there were those really visually freaky nights (I’m sure my p’rents wondered…) that I went to bed with Daddy and his friends… like Stevey…. But honestly… even back then my p’rents didn’t think nothing ’sexual’ about that.. So why would they now?? B’cus I’m not 15 or 16 anymore?? B’cus people are just quick to think ’sexual’ thoughts when ‘we’re all going to sleep in the same bed together’ is mentioned?? Why?? I just don’t get it….
I must say my fowl mood is still lurking… I still feel the need to snap.. the need to cry... Maybe that’s it… I just need to weep it out… I decided to keep to myself during our first few hours at work today… Daddy knew I was still kinda ‘funky’ and he had errands to run … So he exited stage left for a few minutes… But I gotta say… I was lonely… I missed him and I have been feeling like a shit for my funky behaviour… To tell you the truth… he has his days too… so I guess we both know how to roll with each other’s ‘funks’ …. you gotta roll with those funky punches!! Speaking of rolling with funky punches… I have been looking on ebay at all the Louis Vuitton stuff for sale… [i]I’ve been really bored.. okay??[/i]… So during my time killing session I was browsing the ‘supposed’ LV bags…. I fell in love… It was a vision of purse beauty… The kinda bag I’d think about toting around more than Purciville … [i]shhh.. don’t tell him I said that… [/i]B’cus what follows next is very very scandalous!! I fell in love with a pink Theda GM LV bag… but… like everything on ebay… I wondered it’s authenticity… especially when you’re dealing with LV bags… I noticed this bag came in many different ‘styles’ yet all named Theda… * hello can anyone say one of these bags… if not all of these bags are fake? * So.. I hummed and hawed and wondered… which of these bags are real?? I check out the LV website… and I see Thedas… so the Theda design exists… but as far as whether it comes in pink is unclear… and whether or not it is made out of suede or satin… if it zips or doesn’t…. and so on and so on b’cus all of the pink Thedas on ebay are different and the LV website only has the normal monogrammed canvas Thedas shown… It just happens that today Daddy got the phone call to pick up his LV wallet… His wallet had a thread coming loose… not good for a wallet that costs over $300... So we took it straight in to get fixed… Needless to say he was happy to get his wallet back… and fixed up looking all new and purdy… I decided to take advantage of his trip to Louis Vuitton I asked him to ask the counter ladies about my Theda… Well my bubble is popped! It’s a FAKE!! Thedas don’t come in pink… I would never buy a LV bag from ebay… but I did want to find out if that purse existed… It was a new bag to drool about…
Well... our night was pleasent... We all ended up cuddling on the couch and watching CSI: Miami and NY... Great TV night!! Tommorow night is way better... but tonight was a pretty good tv night.... I'm happy to say I no longer feel so 'funky'... I guess all I really needed was cuddle therapy!!
Hopefully you are all having a good week... You Canadians out there... Woohooo!... It's a long weekend this weekend!! Hug your non huggy friends if you got 'em... It'll probably pissed them off or make them uncomfy... but in the long run... your friend may feel happier in the long run...
So until tommorow... take care y'all...
