What a weekend

Laura came up this weekend and we had a blast. It was nice to see her but it really sucked that I had to work, I am lucky that I work with such understanding people because they let me off at 2pm because she was visiting. We did a lot of shopping and she was nice enough to take me to my favorite restaurant, Red Lobster which was amazing. I love their food and it was nice to just got for dinner with my best friend and be able to catch up on everything and talk about our men etc.

On Sunday Darryl and I went to Ikea and got a coffee table, a new light for the bedroom, a new spatula, a utensil rack, garbage bin for upstairs and some nice mirrors for the bedroom. I know exciting eh? Well for us it was it was a lot of fun to try and plan out where everything is going to go. Although we were quite upset when this chandelier that we wanted to get wasn't in stock...poo on them! It was really nice and we were going to get the lamp to match but they suck so no chandelier for me. I am excited to go home because hopefully the majority of those thing will be installed and looking hot. The mirrors we are going to put ourselves because they are pretty tricky....as you can see here...

Well there it doesn't really look tricky but I think we are going to put two side by side so its a square mirror instead. Well atleast that is what Darryl wants to do so we will see.

After our trip to ikea we went to the grocery store and got two pumpkins to carve and were up until 11pm carving them last night. They look sooo good though. Darryl took some pics so I will send them to myself tonight and then post them tomorrow. He was so excited while carving them, it was so cute. He had to put candles in it right then because he couldn't wait because it was going to look so sweet! lol.

Before and after carving the pumpkins we went to see The Saw 2. It was SO good and So scary! I spent the majority of the movie with my head planted in Darryls shoulder.

Hmm I am hungry I better go eat, I have Scooby Doo Zoodles today, I know you are all jealous.

TGIF!!!

wow what a slow day! I am ready to fall asleep, Fridays are always really slow in the office. I thought the little kiddies in the building would be around trick or treating to keep me awake but as of yet they have not shown up.

After a ton of panicking and worrying my tv showed up but I was so mad because they are supposed to bring it in and set it up for you and they just left it there in the box. Grr some people are so lazy.

I got a happy meal for lunch and I got a chicken little toy which I was pretty excited about until after a ton of screwing around with I realised it doesn't work, poo!

I want to put a picture on here but I keep forgetting to bring in a picture and with all of my working lately I haven't had time to do it at home, I think I am going to do it tonight.

YEAH!!!! Laura is coming tonigh!! Wahoo! She is leaving work early so that she will get to my house around the same time as me which is good and bad. It kind of sucks because I just moved in on Friday and everyday since then I have been super busy so there is boxes everywhere and everything is unorganised. I was hoping to do a bit of cleaning before she arrived but I guess that wont be happening. OH! AND I have the harriest legs every imaginable right now and I woke up late this morning so I didn't have time to shave them and I plan on getting laid tonight so these puppies need to be shaved!

The most embarassing thing happened to me yesterday, I was going to the bathroom at work and I was taking out a tampon and someone came into my stall by accident just as I had taken the tampon out. The stupid lock is crappy on this door so even though I locked it she could still get in. So some stranger saw my tampon! I felt really bad for her because I think I would be totally grossed out and traumatised if that happened to me. Why does this kind of shit always happen to me.

Also for some of you that I haven't told this story to just to stay on the topic of totally embarassing things. There is this guy that just got hired in the same building as me and every morning he would go past my window. He was so gorgeous that I thought I would work up the courage to ask him if he wanted to go on a blind date with my sister. Well one day I am coming back from the bathroom and I am all alone in the hallway and since my hair was growing back (down there, from shaving) I had to itch it so since I was all alone I didn't think it was a big deal. So I start scratching my crotch and this hot guy is sitting at his desk staring at me. I was ready to die!

Hopefully you enjoyed my embarassing stories and learning way more then you wanted to know about me.

Happy Thursday!

I am in a very good mood today which is very different from how I have been the rest of the week. I think I am in a good mood because my baby woke up with me this morning and I got to hug and kiss him which I never get to do during the week when he is on afternoons so it was nice. I feel really bad because he had to get up with me to wait for the tv to be delivered, poor thing, plus he has to leave early because he has a hockey game. I think he is going to need some extra loving this weekend.

Laura is coming up this weekend which I am really excited about. I am not sure what we are going to do since both of us are pretty strapped for cash but I think we would both love a quiet weekend since we haven't seen eachother in a long time. The last time I saw her actually was probably in July at her wedding. We dont live that far away but we both have insane schedules that it makes it hard for us both to have a weekend free to see eachother.

It is really starting to suck not having a home phone, I dont even want to see my cell phone bill this month. Especially because of all of the deliveries we are getting and things we are signing up for people keep calling my phone. After 7pm I dont mind because it is free but when people call during the day and it just ends up being a sales call it really annoys me and I try desperately hard not to be rude. Which when you are pms'ing it is really difficult.

I had a bit of a panic last night because when I ordered my tv I had a brain fart and put in the wrong address so I have been trying to get a hold of them since 9:30 pm last night leaving two messages and e-mailing them to make sure that it goes to the right address. I am so stressed waiting for it to arrive to make sure that it goes to the right address. I keep wanting to call Darryl to see if it has gotten there yet but I dont want to wake him up because I am an idiot.

I work again tonight, blah! Last night was alright because it was dead so I didn't mind it, I got to know the new people a little more which was nice since I have been off for a week and a half. The first customer I got was doing an exchange and once you put it in the system it has to stay there or you have to re-enter the whole thing, so he went with a sales associate to get an exchange so I just waited for them to come back to finish off the return, usually it only takes about 5 minutes. As I am standing there this lady looking very impatient says,
do you do customer service there?

me - yes, I am just with a customer at the moment

customer - can they take me at the cash?

me - no

I soon realise the customer is going to be a long time so I erase the exchange and ask the lady if I can help her.

customer - nice to see you were with a customer (in snotty voice obviously not believing I was with a customer)

me - actually I was they are just taking a long time so I thought I would help you

customer - yeah it really looks like it

me - ha ha well I really am

when customers are like that there is no sense even arguing they are always right no matter what so I decided to swallow my pride and at the end of the return I said, "again, I am sorry about your wait, have a good night". I should be employee of the month I swear.

Hump Day

Last night we went and ordered our tv and stand which is going to be coming Thursday, wahoo! I am going crazy because I cannot find the book I have been reading anywhere, I have looked through all of the boxes and everywhere I can think of and I can't find it. I miss going to bed and reading a bit before I go to sleep. I have started reading another book but its just not the same. Book, if you are reading this, come home!

The last few days have been crazy with shopping and cleaning up the rest of the apartment. It feels like we have been go go go. This morning before I left for work I just sat on the couch in peace and quiet and just started thinking about nothing and everything. About the noise that the vent is making, how I hate how unorganised everything is, how my little kitten is so cute etc.

One of the guys from work that has been off for a hernia operation came in today, it was so nice to see him again. I missed him. I am happy he is coming back next week but I am really worried that he is going to push himself and end up worse then he already is. We worked on the schedule together and gave him less of a work load so I am hoping that will be ok.

Darryl called me yesterday at work and asked if someone else had the keys to our house and started asking a bunch of other questions, so I start panicking and I said Darryl quite fucking around what are you talking about. Apparantly my dad bought me muskoka chairs and left them in our garage when Darryl wasn't home. My dad and I are not close at all so for him to do this meant a lot especially since I wanted them so much and I had only mentioned them to him once. I feel really bad because with everything we did last night I didn't have a chance to call him and then I work tonight and tomorrow night so I am going to have to remember to call him from work tonight. They still have to be sealed and stained but that is a good winter project.

My mom has an extra sewing machine that she is going to give me and I am really excited about. I am looking forward to learning how to hem pants and just different homemaker stuff that I don't know now.

I am really looking forward to this weekend even though I work I am looking forward to doing some stuff around the house and getting everything cleaned up and organised. By Saturday we should have almost all of the furniture in the house and be able to have the familyroom and livingroom all set up with is right now what I think is bothering me.

This guy at work brought in girl guide cookies but, not just any girl guide cookies the mint chocolate ones that are absolutely to die for. I am trying to lose weight but all of these temptations keep coming up. They are sitting on my desk and I keep wanting to buy more when I know I don't need any. Better get to work now.

Still Shopping

Last night we went to work to get the big screen tv and I guess when you buy a house you are not allowed to get credit until four months of owning the house so that they know you will pay your mortgage. So needless to say we didn't get approved for much. Since I successfully got rid of my shift for the next night we decided to go get the couches which we had money for at that time and work on the tv and everything tomorrow night. An hour drive later and some McDonalds we arrive to get our couches, they are still there in the same place we left them beautiful italian leather and oh so comfy. So, Darryl and I sit on the couches and work out which ones we want to get and how much it would come out to and then delivery on top of that and the warrantee. Once we make our decision we call over the salesperson with hideously long nails, not just eww she needs to cut those like how does she do anything with nails that long, wouldn't it be difficult to wipe after going pee with nails that are curling because they are so long..yuck! Anyway I am off topic so we are asking her the price of delivery and such and the salesperson that had came by earlier while we were still discussing the purchase and said we didn't need help walked by and glared at us. I felt like yelling, "we weren't ready then, and now we are, and you weren't around to kiss my ass!". Anywho...so we go over to the computer to put the sale in and she wanted to check the availability in the warehouse to give us an approximate delivery date. The couch was in the warehouse so delivery asap was no problem, the recliner however had to be shipped in from Italy and was not going to be here until January. As soon as I saw that on the screen I was thinking no way that is ridiculous, I guess we are going to have to get it. Then I look at Darryl and he has this oh well look on his face and I am thinking you have got to be kidding me, I am not waiting four months for a fucking recliner. Long story short, I am waiting four months for a recliner. It was the only leather set that we thought was comfy and it was perfect so we thought it will be worth the wait. So we decide to order it and the sale is processed and everything and the salesperson gives me this sheet of paper that said three days before you recliner is delivered I am going to need you to come in to pay the balance and bring this receipt with you. Great, where is the receipt with the stuff I bought today on it, I just bought a couch and a 5 year warrantee and you want me to leave with nothing?! So I expressed my concern and she looked at me like I had two heads and says, " you want that?" and looks at Darryl for help like I am being unreasonable. So she goes to the back for another 20 minutes and brings out a print off of their database, "this shows that you have the couch and the warrantee right there" (talking to me like I am fucking idiot) and she went on to say, " everything is in our system if anything goes wrong with the couch you just have to call us and we will pull it up and see that you have the warrantee". I felt like saying okay bitchface what if you get a virus and it wipes out your whole computer system what is there to say that I have the warrantee then, or even that I purchased the couch here. Instead I thanked her and walked out bitching about her attitude and how ridiculous it is to think I would walk out without some kind of receipt.

By the time we got home I opened the box for the wireless router plugged in the main part and no lights came on, I immiediately thought, fuck it and went and vegged on the couch with Darryl.

I heart Dilbert

We're moved in!

Well this is my first post on my blogspot site, I have to say so far I have no idea what is going on but I am going to play around with it a bit more after this and see what I can put on here.

We moved into our house on Friday and I am loving it so much, last night as we were going to bed I said to Darryl, "guess what I can scream right now and I don't have to worry about how loud I am being". It is such a change from living in a basement apartment. We went back to the apartment yesterday and we could barely stand being there just to empty our fridge, I couldn't wait to leave. Tonight we are going to go order our tv and get some wireless network thingy madooey to hook up our computer to the internet and do some other running around and then hopefully we can relaz for a bit tonight. The past week and a half has been non-stop running around that I can't wait until we have everything put away and we can just relax.

On Friday there is this young mothers place in the building that is going to be bringing around their kids to trick or treat so they came and asked if I would like to participate so I think I am going to bring in some halloween decorations or something fun for the kids. I find it wierd that they aren't doing it on Monday when it actually is Halloween.

I am going to go and see if I can figure out how to link people now, wahoo! Wish me luck!
