As you may have guest from the name of this post it is snowing here...grr! I don't have my winter car on the road yet so I am a little apprehensive driving in this weather. Plus because I am a retard I thought it looked nice out this morning and I did not bring a jacket.
Last night I finished almost all of my Christmas shopping, just one more thing for Val and Christina and Darryls dad.
I am watching these people try to get out of their parking spot right now and they are driving on the grass and just going everywhere. I have no idea what they think they are going to accomplish but I feel like going out there and asking if they need some help. I remember when I first got my license I would be stuck trying to get in or out of a parking spot and I had no idea what I had to do to get in/out of it. Thank goodness I had stolenswan with me and she talked me through it or I could just see me calling my mom on my cell in tears and asking her how the hell to fix it.
Right now I have nothing to eat for lunch and I have to pee but before I can go get something or go pee I have to wait for a student to leave the office so I can lock it. Unfortunately he is working on the simulator and I could be waiting for awhile.
My house is a complete mess from the party we had on the weekend and I haven't had anytime to clean it up. I am planning on going home tonight and busting my ass to get it back in order. I hate having my house messy and with the way its been you never know who is going to pop over either.
I got my new phone! Wahoo! I waiting for 30 mins for them to get something straightened out over the phone before they could activate it but I have it now and thats all that matters. Also I programmed my ring tone to be back in black by ACDC, it sounds sweet. I will put a pic on here later but right now I think I might wet my pants so I better go pee now, student or no student.
Ciao!

27 Days until Christmas!!!
Today has kind of been a crappy day. I noticed that I wasn't on the schedule at my part time job for my holiday and I gotthinking that if we tell the ops manager that I gave away my shifts and I got it off then I can still keep my job. Wellmy direct manager is mad at me for calling in sick on a busy day so I don't think she is going to do that for me, plus hersister hates me for some unknown reason so that has probably added to the fact that she is already mad at me. I get a little over emotional when things like that happen, for instance after the attitude I got when I brought it up to her andasked her about it I felt like calling back and telling her to shove that job up her ass. I soon came to my senses and realisedhaving a part time job for the time being is very helpful, and maybe I shouldn't burn my bridges. Darryl really want me tokeep working there so I am going to let her "see what I can do" and see what happens but again I feel like calling and saying. "you know what nevermind I am going to put in my notice at the end of the week".
Since I got a credit card, FINALLY, I am planning on going and finish off some of my Christmas shopping tonight. Darryl and I agreed that we would get it done this weekend but I realised that he will be there with me and I still need to get hima birthday present and some stocking stuffers. Instead I decided to go with Valerie and finish up Christina and Darryl andmaybe by some miracle find something for my mom.
You know what is crazy? I have gone from HATING reading to absolutely loving it. I am so looking forward to going toChapters tonight. I want to look for a book that I want plus I have some ideas for people there and I cannot wait. I havealso told Darryl that I would love if my stocking was full of books and that I will give him a list of books I do not have and which ones I want. Plus we are going to Cuba so I want to have a lot to read while I am there. OOOH and also Darryls momtold me she would teach me again how to crochet so I am hoping we can do that a bit while we are there too.
I am wearing my new shoes today and although they feel a bit snug I think it is just because of the socks I am wearing.It feels so good to be wearing running shoes again, (stolenswan forbid me to wear mine) even when I was driving my carthis morning it felt so nice to be wearing running shoes to push the clutch in and out I just felt so comfy.
I have no idea what to get my mom for Christmas, last year we got her a scrapbook of different family events and picturesand pictures of us that we got taken at the Walmart portrait studio. I think we should do that again just because we haveall changed so much in a year. Oooh that reminds me, Darryl and I were planning to get one done too! I thought it wouldbe nice to have a nice picture of the two us.
Meh I dont have anything else to say, ciao.

Can I go to bed now?
Here I am back after a LONG weekend. I think it seemed a lot longer then it actually was but I think that is becauseI was so busy and not sleeping that much. I was up until 1am cleaning, not that my house was THAT messy I just wantedto clean the floors and pledge and windex everything and that is time consuming. My mom of course came over on Fridaynight and wanted me to scrape the putty off of the basement floor...umm I don't think so! I have enough crap to do without having to do something that stupid.
Shortly before everyone came up I noticed one of the walls was peeling in the basement due to water damage. Freakinlovely! After we noticed that we also noticed it on the same wall upstairs in the laundry room. We payed around $300 foran inspection and we have lived there for a month last Monday so I think they should be able to do something about it. Hetold us that there was no water anywhere in fact there was even less then normal. All I know is if it is the roof that is goingto be a huge job and not fun considering winter is upon us.
Friday night my mom took me out to do some last minute shopping, I went out three times that week and everytime I forgot windex. There was also a two day sale on at Canadian Tire and that is where I wanted to get Darryls present so I had to go there. I took a taxi and met my mom there and she told me that everyone was in line for this item that I wanted since it was only on sale from 6pm to 7pm. She had her hand on one and could not leave or else she wouldn't getone. It was so crazy, there were line ups everywhere and it was so crowded around the main sale items that it was almostimpossible to get through. My mom had to share her cart with two other guys that were buying the same thing and onewas nice enough to help my mom in her car with it.
Saturday was hectic it seemed like I had nothing I needed even after the many trips to the store and things like sage and onion that I never cook with my mom just assumed I would have and I didn't. Then of all things I didn't have a potato masher and that never even occured to me. Everyone seemed to love dinner and had a good time. I put Christmas crackersat each place setting and a little three pack of fererror rochet with the place setting of who was to sit there at each seat.I was really happy because it seemed like everyone loved the Christmas crackers and everyone was wearing their crowns.
Sunday when everyone had left Darryl and I were kind of sad, it went from absolute craziness in my house to a completelyempty and quiet house. Darryls mom wrote us a beautiful poem that I started balling. At the end she called me her daughter and that is really what did me in. I have felt guilty ever since because I never gave her a hug, I am so akward with that kind of thing and I asked Darryl if he thinks his mom will be upset because I never hugged her and he said no butI still feel bad. We never hug so I didn't want to weird her out by hugging her but at the same time I wanted to, know whatI mean?
After everyone had left I was still really in a Christmassy mood so we went to the mall to browse around and Darryl endedup looking for some new lugs since his are pretty much done. We have been looking for some that looked like his old onesfor probably about a year with no luck but we went into Champs and finally found them. They were having a buy one get the second pair for half price so Darryl said I could pick out some shoes if I wanted. I picked out some K-Swiss shoesand asked the saleperson for a size 9 (yes I know I am a saskwatch), he came back a couple of minutes later saying, "we only have an 8 and a half"
me, "oh that wont fit"
salesperson, "do you want to try it on anyway"
me, "no"
saleperson, "well it might fit"
me, "no it wont"
I think this kind of pissed him off but hello I am either a size 9 or 10 dont try and tell me almost a whole size smaller is going to fit me. It ended up that I found these really nice Nike Airs that looked really similar to the K-Swiss shoes that I had picked out and they have some cute little silver parts on it.
Aren't they cute? These aren't identical to the ones I got but you get the idea.
On our shopping day I also got a cute little hat with ear flaps, it was only $9.99 and there is another one I wanted to get but I am going to ask for it for a stocking stuffer or something.

Give me something to go on..
I wasn't going to write in here but then I saw Lo Lo's comment and I felt bad. So here I am writing look at me go..teehee. The weather has gotten better here in the past couple of hours right now it is sunny and there is no snow, so yeah!
The Casby's were amazing, as soon as we got in they ushered us over to three "hot" molson canadian girls to take out picture with them as the big winners, and then from there over to our V.I.P area and tickets for three free beers each. It was so sweet standing up on the V.I.P area watching everyone without a pass try to get up and turned away by the bouncers guarding our stairways. I have to say my favorite bands of the night were Metric and Hot Hot Heat. I had co much fun I was dancing around and singing and I was the only one not drinking..lol. The limo we got was one of those stretch SUV's which was so sweet inside, everyone was hanging out the sunroof screaming it was so funny. I wish I brought my camera.
After the awards and going to the Government for a bit we went to a restaurant called 7 West. On the way there I was sitting on the side seating of the limo and I started to feel sick. All day I had a hamburger from A&W and a grilled cheese sandwhich and 3 beer so I was already REALLY hungry and then because I get car sick on long rides, and when reading in a car etc, sitting sideways in the SUV limo was making me feel sick. As soon as we got into the restaurant I had to run down two flights of stairs and wait for someone to finish in the only bathroom this restaurant had so I could puke. Everything on the menu looked like it was in a different language so I ordered the only thing that I could understand, garlic bread and cheese thinking that eating would make me feel better. As soon as I was done puking I went upstairs and tried to eat something and I immediately felt sick again. Down the stairs I run again and again I wait for someone to finish in the bathroom. I soon realise that there is no sense in me going back upstairs because I am just going to break my neck running down the stairs. I spent a could half hour sitting outside the bathroom ready to be sick, puking and then wiping up and returning to my post outside the bathroom. Let me just tell you, there was no way I was going to puke in a public toilet so I was puking in the sink and then it got clogged and not only was I sick but I also had to unclog my puke from the sink...urgh! I asked one of the girls that came to check on me to get Darryl and I wanted to go home. While I was waiting this wonderful stranger gave me some advil to make me feel better, ( I checked the writing on it, don't worry, I wasn't too keen on it either but I was pretty desperate). Also the wonderful waitor brough me some gingerale and a dried bun which was so amasingly sweet, I want to go back one day just to thank him. If I was rich I would send him flowers.
The drive home was a blizzard and pour Darryl couldn't see anything and it was getting late so he was getting tired and I kept falling asleep and I couldn't talk to keep him up because everytime I opened my mouth I felt like I was going to puke again. All of the suddent I said, "Darryl pull over I have to puke" and there I went again after the car almost slid off of the road because of the bad weather.
I used to always complain to Lo Lo about how he doesn't take care of me when I am sick but he was the most amazing boyfriend that night and made me feel so loved and that I definately want to spend the rest of my life with this guy.
Thursday morning I was still feeling really sick so I called into work. One of the trainers called me at about 10am when he was leaving his house and asked if I needed anything since he knew I didn't have a car, I couldn't believe how sweet that was. Then the other trainer came over at around 1pm and brought me the tables and chairs that I needed for this weekend. I am so loved and I feel so fortunate. ( I know I sound corny, bite me)
Right now I am listening to my new mp3 player, I exchanged mine since I wont be working at my part time job much longer and my old one was only 128 mb, so I exchanged it for one with three times more room and that you can still extend the memory with a card. Its blue and has a pretty blue light on it and I hated that my old one you had to mash down the button just to change the song and if you were listening to it in the dark you can't see what song it is on because there is no backlight, so I love my new one. I also loaded a bunch of new songs that I had meant to with my old one so I am sitting here at work grooving.
I have so much to do tonight for tomorrow but I am really looking forward to it. Last night Darryl and I set up all of the tables and put on the table clothes and trimmed them and set up all of the place settings and everything. I have to start cooking the ham tonight since tomorrow the turkey will have to go in and I dont have two stoves.
Have a great weekend all!

The awards show is coming!!
This weekend was nice and quite and I think it was just what I needed. Darryl and I got to spend a lot of quality time together which was nice and much needed. Saturday I stayed home because my damn car wouldn't work as I posted earlier, then my mom came and picked me up and took me to my hair appointment. I was pretty disappointed because my hair stylist told me that I couldn't put highlights in my hair at the same time of dying it because it will turn blonde. That is the same thing that happened last time and if the hair stylist I took it to then had just told me what would happen I would have come back later. We decided to just go with the dark brown for now and I would come back just before my vacation to put the light brown in it. As soon as my appointment was done I had no ride so I decided to walk up to a restaurant and grab some fries since I hadn't had anything to eat yet that day. It was kind of nice going into a restaurant, my hair freshly done and just sitting by myself. Whenever I went to a restaurant and I saw those people sitting by themselves I always felt so bad for them like, they must be so lonely. Although people were looking at me it was nice being there by myself and it was relaxing.
After I was done my fries I paid my bill and went to a pool hall that attached to the restaurant and I played a video game until Darryl came to get me. My mom had a tree trimming party that we had to attend that night so we quickly went to Canadian Tire to get a new battery for my car, got something to eat for Darryl and went to my moms. Darryl played chess most of the night with Darren and I sat with the ladies talking. By the time we left it was 11:30pm and I was beat. As soon as me and Darryl got home we thought we could sit and watch some tv before bed, about two minutes into the show we were both falling asleep and decided to go to bed instead.
Sunday my mom picked me up to go out shopping for stuff for next weekend. We went to the best dollar store we have and practically bought the place out. It was a lot of fun being able to buy that many things and only spending $20 and it was nice to just spend some quality time with my mom. Darryl spend most of Sunday working on my car and is going to spend the earlier part of today working on it before he goes to work. Hopefully it is just the tune-up and battery that is the problem and I will have wheels tomorrow.
I am a bit nervous about the get together we are holding next weekend. Since we have had the house I have entertaineda maximum of 10 people and that involved ordering pizza and drinking which is pretty easy but now this weekend there is going to be 25 people that I have to entertain...eeek! I am really worried about the food ie not having enough but I am going grocery shopping with my mom tonight and she is Portuguese so I think she will make sure that there is enough food. I have almost everything ready, the only thing that may not work out is tables, my mom says that her work may not have enough which means we will all be sitting on the floor...teehee. I am sure we will figure something out but I am really worried about it. I am also worried that I wont have enough time to prepare for it, tonight I am not working Tuesday I work,Wednesday is the awards show, Thursday I am hopefully working and Friday night Darryls parents might be coming up and I wont be able to clean in front of them. My house isn't messy its just the thing you want to do right before company comes over like vacuum, and wash the floors and dust. I don't want to do most of this too much ahead of time because with Darryl home during the day it probably wont stay spic and span. My Uncle Mario called me personally last night which I was really surprised to tell me that he could come and my Aunt Marie yelled in the background that she will be bringing her potato salad..lol gotta love her! So I am at least relieved that I have a concrete guest list and I know who all to prepare for.
On to my work day! Ciao all!

Punk Princess
You know what song I love right now? Boyfriend by Ashlee Simpson and Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy. I decided to download a bunch of Fall Out Boy stuff since I really liked that song and they are all good! I am so impressed, I think I am going to ask for that cd for Christmas.
Last night we boosted my car and then took it for a drive to make sure that we charged the battery enough, then we are sitting at a light and the car starts to shut off. Darryl then starts reving it and it stays on, so basically if you don't keep the rpm's up the car will shut off. We think it is the...umm the... frig the name of it totally escaped my head. Anyway so we realised I would have no way to work, so I called a taxi company and it is $20 each way to get there which would be how much I make. So I called in this morning and she was all bitchy to me about it and obviously didn't believe me. It totally pissed me off and ruined my whole morning.
I was quickly cheered up after a quick call to Laura and some good breakfast. I have spent the majority of the morning sitting on my ass downloading songs and getting ready which I love. I love when you can take your time getting ready and you dont have to hurry. I guess I should start cleaning up a bit before I go to my hair appointment.
Have a great weekend all!

I was quickly cheered up after a quick call to Laura and some good breakfast. I have spent the majority of the morning sitting on my ass downloading songs and getting ready which I love. I love when you can take your time getting ready and you dont have to hurry. I guess I should start cleaning up a bit before I go to my hair appointment.
Have a great weekend all!

I'd go to jail with only boys just to prove I am as tough as you
Well last night was quite the challenge, I literally almost quit my second job last night. They have all of these new people that have no idea what they are doing and it was so frustrating all night working with them. It has been basically that I have to do everything for myself, answer questions, do the whole customer service line, answer the phones and close the store. It gets really draining to have to do this all the time and we never get out at a decent hour. Last night we didn't get out until 10:30pm (we close at 9pm and at the latest, on a really bad night should get out at 10pm) because of someone being careless with money and dropping it down the side of the counter so our deposit didn't balance so we spent an hour trying to find out where the money was. I was so frustrated I was almost in tears and I almost said fuck you all am out of here. There was one girl that was really good that is the only one that kept me sane last night.
After that I went home and I got my friend to come over with some booster cables and jump my car so that I could drive to work today but, when I got up this morning it was dead again. Grr! So my wonderful boys that I work with came and got me in the transport truck this morning...lol. I couldn't believe when they showed up to my house with it, but they always take care of me so it was nice.
Today it is snowing like a bitch outside. About an hour and a half from here where my bf's parents live they have a foot of snow and had a six car pile up this morning. It took a girl from work 1.5 hours to get into work this morning. (we have campuses all over)
I have no car today because mine wouldn't start this morning and both instructors are busy until late. I have to get home exactly at 5pm for a guy that is coming over to fix the windshield on one of our cars. I know my mom wont drive me home because it is snowing and I don't want to take the bus a) because I left my mp3 player at home and b) because it sucks and its really cold outside. I think I may end up having to take a taxi but I can't even count on them being here on time because its snowing and they will probably be busy. I hate not having a car and having to depend on other people.
It feels like Friday today, grr. But if it were Friday it would mean that I would have to work at my second job tomorrow and I definitely need some time away.
I better get back to work ciao all!

I want a nap!
Well Darryl and me decided last night that I should start working on getting my braces. There is a lot of work to be done but hopefully by mid-March I should have braces. I am excited and worried at the same time, I am looking forward to having straight teeth like everyone else but I am not looking forward to being an adult with braces. Of course it always crosses my mind that Darryl wont find me attractive in them but oh well, I promised myself I wont get married until my teeth are straight so might as well get on it.
I got my box set of office space last night. I was really excited. I cannot wait to watch it one of these nights or this weekend. I have a lot to do in the next couples of days, Thursday I have to go and get my eye doctor to sign my pictures for my passport and we are getting the windshield replaced on Darryls new car and then we are going to my moms and picking up a new dresser that she gave us.
I am really looking forward to getting the dresser in our house because we have a HUGE bedroom and no furniture in it, so I think it will look really good in there. Plus I am running out of room in my dresser for clothes.
The weather is a bit nicer today but it sounded so windy and rainy this morning that I didnt want to get out of bed. The alarm went off at 6:55am, then 7am and then I reset the alarm to go off at 7:05 and I still didnt want to get up.
Apparently one of the girls at my part time job quit which was good because she always wandered, was always talking and never did her work. Every single time I have worked with her she has wanted to be sent home and then one day when I did she left her till out in the backroom and didnt even get a manager to lock it up.
I don’t know what is going on with blogger, I keep getting little symbols in the middle of my words but I go and try and correct them in the edit feature and they are not there. Its very weird, I thought it may have something to do with the fact that I write my entry in word first and then copy and paste it into my blogger afterwards but I dont know.
So far this weekend I am working on Saturday until about 2pm and then I am going to a tree trimming party at my moms, which I am really stoked about. I am in a really Christmassy mood lately so it should be good. Saturday night I think we are just going to relax and maybe clean up a bit. Then on Sunday one of Darryls friends from work is supposed to be coming over and then after that I really want to go see Jarhead.
Have a great day all!

Yippee Skippee!
I cleaned my fish tank this morning so now my fishy can see everyone, yeah! I hate cleaning it sometimes because it smells so bad that people think you farted or something.
I unfortunately have to work tonight and by the look of the weather outside I really don’t want to. It is all rainy and windy and apparently by 5pm we are supposed to have a HUGE storm with tons of rain and fog. LOVELY!
Next week is the awards show I am going to, wahoo! I cannot wait! Although due to the kind of awards show it is I am not sure how I should dress. I don’t think its formal yet I think if I went in jeans and a t-shirt people would look at me weird. We get a limo ride from our friend’s house to the awards, our own V.I.P area, our own waitress and free beer all night!!! YEAH! Darryl wants me to drive home which sucks balls but oh well. I am definitely going to have to bring my camera and show you guys all of our star sightings.
The door outside my office that goes to the outside keeps on being held open with the wind every time someone goes out them. Just the sound of the wind and watching it thrash the door against the railing with the power of it makes me cold. I don’t even want to go pee because the hallway is freezing.
I think I am living in the wrong area. I was reading Lisa’s journal today and I was reading about how it is just becoming summer there and how she is doing housework and getting all cheery and I envy her so much. The majority of the day here is dark; it is getting increasingly cold with each passing day, today it is raining but any day now it is going to be snowing and I am sitting here in my office with a sweater on and a sweater over my legs because I am freezing. The only good thing about this weather is that is reminds me that CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!! It makes me crave egg nog and gingerbread and now that I have a fireplace it also makes me crave warm jammies sitting in front of the fire watching Christmas movies.
I can’t wait to put up all of the Christmas decorations and send my Christmas cards!!!

HAPPY MONDAY!
Well not really I am coming down with a cold, I can barely breathe and I am blowing my nose every five seconds. Last year they found out I have an asthma type thing so the barely being able to breathe thing is really sucking.
I had such a cheery wonderful weekend! We bought and put up our Christmas lights, we got the new L.E.D kind since they are brighter, last longer and use less energy. We are the only house on the street so far turning them on. It was such a beautiful weekend that it was nice seeing our neighbours putting up their lights and doing some work around the house.
I planted the bulbs on Saturday morning while Darryl was at work getting his forklift training. A couple of doors down I saw a guy doing some yard work and I thought, great now I can get to know some of our neighbours. Much to my dismay I quickly noticed the landscaping truck on the side of the street and realised that he was from that company. Shortly after I was almost done with the bulbs in the front yard my mom and sister pull up and joke that they should have brought a camera. (I am not into gardening at all!)
A few of our friends came over on Saturday night to play poker and drink. So we ended up getting hammered and I won both poker games (no real surprise there). I thought I was going to throw up I drank so much but I made a promise to myself that I am not going to drink at all next weekend because, with all of the people we have over lately I have been drinking every weekend and I don’t think it is helping my figure.
Sunday we went out for a wonderful breakfast at my favourite breakfast restaurant, then bought the lights and went to visit my mom. I was really surprised that as we were passing my moms house Darryl suggested that we stop in. She showed us a dresser that she is going to give away and wanted to know if we wanted it. Darryl is never a fan of anything used so I was really surprised when he was enthusiastic about it and wanted it for our bedroom. (We have been having trouble with a lack of furniture in there) We are going to pick it up sometime this week, which I am really happy about because I was running out of drawer room for my pj’s and everything.
Better get to work, ciao!

Please take a moment to remember
Please check out slowplums site she has an amazing poem featured there.
Friday is here...Hoorah!
The layout fairy visited me last night!! YEAH! So what do you guys think do you like this one or the last one better? I like them both a lot, I don't think I could choose just one. Thank you very much slowpeach for your wonderful work I really do appreciate it, especially since you had to put up with my pickiness.
Last night was nice I got to do some laundry and Darryl bought us some Swiss Chalet for dinner. The only thing I didn't get to do was workout because we spent most of the night going through the mail and doing laundry we ate really late which in turn made me full and unable to workout.
I dont know what the fuck is with my mom lately, I have asked for a ride I think twice this week and she has made it seem like I was asking for a fucking kidney. I always run errands for her and pick up Christina or Valerie for her so I ask her this one week for a ride because both of my cars are broken and she gets mad at me. I just got off of the phone with her because I asked to borrow her car and she freakin start yelling at me. She used to pick up Valerie everyday and take her to work when she lives about as far away as I do and she never used to treat her like this. Plus since I haven't had a car I haven't heard from either or my sisters all week and it feels like that was the only thing they needed me for. Sorry to be all poopy and bring you guys down, I am dont now.
This weekend I am actually looking forward to because I have some bulbs that I have to plant and Darryl is working from 6am-10am so I think I am going to get up early and go out and plant them and just kind of do little things around the house. Oooh and I can work out! Yippee! There is this Office Space gift set at my second job that I want so bad, you get a mug, a mouse pad, a stapler and some other stuff with it plus the movie! It is $27.99 and I know I don't need any of that other stuff but I REALLY want it.
Better get to work ciao!

Isn't it pretty?!
I really love my blog now especially since I am starting to get the hang of it and see how you can modify it. Slowpeach was nice enough to do it all for me and by seeing her programming I can kind of see how if I wanted to change something how I do it.
My ex was driving me nuts last night. When me and Darryl bought a house together I deleted my ex out of respect for him, my ex was still hitting on me and being rude everytime I talked to him and I could tell it bugged Darryl. Unfortunately when I deleted him he can still talk to me, (I dont want to block him coz thats mean) yesterday he started talking to me about my tooth ache and was saying I suck because I have a cavity, after two months of not talking thats what he starts with. Then he starts telling me how his brother bought a house next to his mom, but first I should say his mom is the typical mother-in-law she is really overbearing and controlling, everything has to be her way. So my comment to him telling me this was, "oh your mom must love that" (can you sense the bitterness). Sometimes when I talk to him he immediately makes me mad and for the rest of the conversation I am bitchy. So then he starts talking about how him and his gf had their one year a couple weeks ago, so I ask him what they did and he got them a hotel room right next to the Yorkldale mall. My face started to go red and my ears start steaming, he was so cheap when were together that every anniversary we had I planned what we didn and I paid for it. Then after that stupid me asks what he bought her, a silver necklace with two hearts intertwined, now I am started to swear and feel my heart racing, he never got me anything that nice he always bought me yellow gold jewllery, that I hate by the way and that his parents picked out and wrapped for him so he just had to give it to me and then pay them back! As soon as I heard that I had, had enough and I told him I had to go, cheap prick.
Phew now that, that rant is out of my system, IT IS SNOWING TODAY!!!! I couldn't believe it when I heard the freezing rain his the roof as we were going to sleep last night but I thought that it would have melted by the morning. As I got up this morning I heard the snow hitting the window and just wanted to stay in bed for the rest of the day. Once I got up and looked outside to see the snow I immediately started craving egg nog. We have to go get a few groceries tonight so I think I am going to have to pick some up.
My Aunt is having a surprise birthday party about 3 hours away this weekend and I am debating on going. I feel bad if I dont go but it is the first weekend I am going to have in this house without there being guests there. It is starting at 8pm and my mom is thinking that we should get a hotel room and just stay the night. We are really short in money right now that I am not too keen on paying for gas to get there nevermind a hotel room. Plus a couple of our friends are going to come over and just hang out and drink which sounds a lot more relaxing to me.
Its almost the weekend, wahoo!

I never got around to writing earlier due to a power outage that reset my moden and my router and now they aren't talking to eachother. So I get to look forward to going into work tomorrow and dealing with IT and then calling the router company and dealing with their IT. Its fun, have I mentioned I hate IT guys? They make everything so much more complicated then it needs to be and most of them read from a script to tell you what to do and it is so stupid and half of them can't speak english, grrr so frustrating.
So, what do you guys think of my new blog? Pretty sexy huh?
My stud muffin wants me to join him in bed so I have to go, will write more later. Grr..the ex is pissing me off will expand on that as well.

My toof hurts! :(
I have an appointment with the dentist tomorrow to get a filling, hopefully that is all I need. There is such pain that I am worried I am going to need a root canal. Serves me right for putting it off too long, grr someone make the pain go away! I am also not looking forward to coming into work afterwards and being frozen drooling everywhere and having to answer the phone and try not to sound like a retard. I have a feeling Dessica will be making an appearance tomorrow.
Slowpeach is making me a new layout for my blog! I am so excited! I thought you had to pay in order to have a different layout so when she not only told me that was wrong but offered to make one for me I was totally stoked. So stay tuned!
I am planning a family event that is going to be taking place November 26th and I am so worried about everything, that everyone wont have fun, that something bad will happen, that people will be bored and what if there isn't enough food etc. Last weekend I had to cook for 5 people rather then my normal two which I had never done before and now I have to cook for 25 people. Eeek!
Tonight I am going to have to plant the bulbs because it doesn't look like we are having another day without some precipitation falling for the next little bit. I hope I do everything right but you really don't know until Spring when they come up.
I have seen that hot guy around the building that I wrote about before and I have managed to not scratch my crotch in front of him the two times I saw him. I am planning on winning him over with my good looks and then telling him I have a sister that looks a lot like me..lol, think it'll work? no? me neither.

Somebodies got a case of the Mondays!
Hello everyone! What a beautiful day! I had a wonderful weekend! Darryls parents came up and we had a great time! Friday night I gave them a tour of the house with furniture in it (since they came with us to the second viewing of the house) and then we settles in and watched a movie and drank (A LOT). I was talking to his mom and I guess I was about to put my hand underneath my head to lean on and I smacked myself right in the face, at this point I was hammered so I kind of had an excuse but it looked really bad.
Saturday we went out shopping and had a great time. We went to a green house and got some bulbs to plant for next year, some tulips, dafodils, and other flowers I have no idea what they are called. Also some plants for the window I have in the kitchen, that are very cool looking, one looks like chili peppers on a plant and they are all bright yellow, orange and red. Let me just say this though, I do not have a green thumb at all, I have never gardened, ever. I have whatever is the opposite of green thumb. But, I did realise that I want everything in my house to look nice including my gardens so I am going to give this 110%. I told Darryls mom that I am going to have to have her on speed dial while I am planting the bulbs..lol! We were going to plant them on Sunday together but it was raining and poopy the rest of the day, so I am on my own. After the green house we went to Costco which was the first time that Darryls mom had ever been so she was like a kid in a candy store. Needless to say I think we almost bought the place out and everyone kept looking at our cart in amazement of how full it was and how we kept managing to fit more stuff. Once we were done there we headed over to Chapters and we got a book of these number puzzles that we are addicted to. I am going to try and save some of them to do while we are waiting for the plane in Cuba.
The rest of the night was spent cooking dinner and putting up the merchandise that I had bought for the house. It took the guys the rest of the night to figure out how to put the chandeleir up but it looks awesome. Darryls mom being the sweetheart that she is made us chicken core don bleu (I have no idea how you spell it) and put it in the freezer for us so we could just pop it in the oven whenever we wanted to have it for dinner, she is so thoughtful. It is so great because I am always in a hurry and have a billion things on the go and working half of the nights so its nice that I just have to pop it in the oven with no preperation.
Sunday we spent the day lounging around and talking, they left at about 2pm. Then me and Darryl hopped over to Walmart to pick up some shampoo and light bulbs since our new light fixtures left us short. I was very suprised to see these new high efficiency light bulbs that save you approximately $110 in hydro a year and last for up to 7 years. Sounds like a deal to me! For the rest of the night we just cuddled and spent some quality time together which was really nice.
Ooooh AND I bought new glasses at Costco 24 for 12.99 and they are so nice! Plus when I got home Darryl wasn't mad at all. (I have a thing for buying glasses and it drives Darryl nuts)
My title is from Office Space, if you have not seen it, you have to! Its hilarious, especially if you have ever worked in an office environment. I want the new set that came out so bad!
Saturday we went out shopping and had a great time. We went to a green house and got some bulbs to plant for next year, some tulips, dafodils, and other flowers I have no idea what they are called. Also some plants for the window I have in the kitchen, that are very cool looking, one looks like chili peppers on a plant and they are all bright yellow, orange and red. Let me just say this though, I do not have a green thumb at all, I have never gardened, ever. I have whatever is the opposite of green thumb. But, I did realise that I want everything in my house to look nice including my gardens so I am going to give this 110%. I told Darryls mom that I am going to have to have her on speed dial while I am planting the bulbs..lol! We were going to plant them on Sunday together but it was raining and poopy the rest of the day, so I am on my own. After the green house we went to Costco which was the first time that Darryls mom had ever been so she was like a kid in a candy store. Needless to say I think we almost bought the place out and everyone kept looking at our cart in amazement of how full it was and how we kept managing to fit more stuff. Once we were done there we headed over to Chapters and we got a book of these number puzzles that we are addicted to. I am going to try and save some of them to do while we are waiting for the plane in Cuba.
The rest of the night was spent cooking dinner and putting up the merchandise that I had bought for the house. It took the guys the rest of the night to figure out how to put the chandeleir up but it looks awesome. Darryls mom being the sweetheart that she is made us chicken core don bleu (I have no idea how you spell it) and put it in the freezer for us so we could just pop it in the oven whenever we wanted to have it for dinner, she is so thoughtful. It is so great because I am always in a hurry and have a billion things on the go and working half of the nights so its nice that I just have to pop it in the oven with no preperation.

Heres to NKOTB
When I was little I LOVED New Kids on the Block, I even loved them when they weren't cool to love anymore. I think I had three t-shirts of theirs, the Jonathan Knight barbie and all of their tapes. I remember one day at the babysitters the babysitters daughter was making fun of me because I was wearing a New Kids on the Block t-shirt. As soon as my mom came to pick I started balling the minute we left, my mom was so worried about me crying she didn't realise there was a car behind her in the driveway and ended up hitting her. LOL! There was no damage done to the car thank god. Here is a picture of them, just thought I would give you guys a blast from the past. Enjoy!
Wahoo for Friday
I was going to name this post TGIF but apparantly last Friday I already did that so I had to get creative...lol.
Everything seems to be a lot better, I got a call from Laura this morning and we made up officially. Yesterday we started talking but I dont think we really got anything accomplished so it was nice to hear from her this morning, it was a nice way to start my day.
Last nice we went out to Red Lobster (mmmm!) twice in one month I must be doing something right, teehee. Then we went out shopping and I got garbage bags, carpet cleaner and other fun stuff like that. Then I went grocery shopping and cleaned the whole house. I didn't realise how hard it is to go grocery shopping yourself, all of the heavy stuff stud muffin normally carries I had to and I had no company, and no one to joke around with. I have decided I dont want to go grocery shopping alone again, but something tells me I may have no choice.
It was nice to be able to be home alone and start cleaning the house and making it how I want it. I was non-stop cleaning from 8:30 to 10:30 and all I have left to do is windex some mirrors and sweep, wash and vacuum the floors.
Darryl parents are coming tonight which is a bit odd since they know he wont be home but oh well . I almost died of shock last night Darryl put money into our account for the mortgage and bills and he said whatever is left over I can have for shopping on Saturday with his mom, sweet eh? I was so happy he has NEVER encourages shopping. He is one of those guys that when he opens his wallet moths fly out.
I actually had a scary experience last night, I went to my moms house and I was reading the paper waiting for Valerie to finish getting ready and a wasp flew out at me and landed on me. I swatted it off and Valerie and my mom saved me by killing it but it was quite scary to have it fly out of nowhere right at me.
The diet is going good, I have been cutting down on what I eat at work and I have been bringing cup-a-soups to work with some crackers for lunch. I am hoping that next week when I am not expecting any visitors I can start working out and getting some of this fat off. The only thing that sucks about next week is that I work my second job 3 out of 5 nights, and that is the weekend Darryl is on days, poo!

Whats so good about it
I went to my favorite site this morning, dilbert to read the comics like I like to do to kind of cheer me up and they have created something new called the dilbert blog. Personally I think its retarded how many people are jumping on the band wagon, soon Donald Trump is going to have a blog that talks all about the goings on at the Apprentice. Sure you may be thinking I am not one to talk but I had a Diaryland journal in 2001 I think and then after that I got a livejournal and now I just got a blog, so technically I have been doing this for a long time so, get off my back! lol j/k.
Well my life has been complete ass lately. I just found out last night that this girl at work hates me meanwhile I have been working with her for about two years and I talk to her about stuff once in awhile and she always invites me out yet she hates me. She even invited me to her wedding, like wtf! I didn't go but thats not the point, why invite me. Grr I dont even want to waste time on that topic, not worth it.
I picked up Val after work yesterday and I took her to my house and we watch America's Next Top Model, ate some junk food (really good for the diet) and then we talked until midnight. It was really nice and just what I needed. I was going to get her a blog but my computer was being retarded so I thought we will have to do it tonight or Friday instead. Tonight we are going to go out for dinner, pick up some stuff I need for the house and go grocery shopping. I am really excited about this because we havn't gone grocery shopping in three weeks and we are completely out of food.
I want to stop thinking about everything...grr!

Wonderful fucking day!
Its been a horrible past couple days, yesterday me and Laura got into a fight. Sometimes I think I am too harsh when I tell people stuff anf don't really think before I speak and then it all goes downhill from there. I am not really sure if we are talking still or not but needless to say after me ruining her day yesterday we did not speak for the rest of it.
Then this morning my car almost died in the entrance to my work and rally almost died as I got into my parking spot. I am so frustrated with it and upset I can't even tell you, especially with us just buying the house, this is really bad timing. Basically what I think is wrong with it is that the clutch is going in and its gotten so bad that I dont think it knows its in gear. I don't really know much about cars but thats what it feels like its doing.
Work last night was good, I worked with a lot of fun people and it wasn't too too busy so we got to talk and joke around which is very rare to be able to do when it is super busy like it has been lately. It was so funny how many Star Wars copies we sold, we sold right out by 7pm and so many customers were pissed off (what else is new) and we also sold out of the pre-order t-shirts so customers were even more pissed off. Meanwhile it says on the flyer while supplies last, we only have so many t-shirts that have to be spread out between all of the stores like come on, if you wanted to make sure you got one you could have come in earlier. One guy got so mad about the t-shirts that he slammed through or doors and knocked them off the track and just kept going. I understand being mad but it doesn't give you an excuse to act like a fucking moron, all of us just sat there laughing at him. One of my friends there actually dressed up like princess Leah and was fighting with the light sabres that we were selling..lol...I am really sorryI missed it.
I am officially starting my diet today, I am doing Slim Fast for two meals and trying to cut down on the junk food for the rest of the day and also working out. I am going to Cuba in December so I really want to lose this weight before then, it is really starting to effect my self-esteem. When Laura was up I went through all of my bar outfits and all of them didn't fit and I got so upset I just wanted to get into comfies and go to bed. My wonderful boyfriend hugged me and told me how beautiful I am and that made me feel better.
Better get doing some work...have a good day all!

So tired...want to sleep...
Brr it is freaking freezing in my office. I don't want to wear my jacket because then when I go outside I will be even more cold then before.
Last night was nice, we didn't get many kids at our house which really sucked. We had a cool pumpking out and everything but I am just glad we didn't go all out and then only have 10 kids. Needless to say we have a ton of Halloween candy left and when I am supposed to be on a diet it makes it really hard to resist.
I started unpacking some more boxes last night and I actually got a lot put away and with the new coffee table in the family room and some pictures up, its starting to look really home'ie.
I have to work both jobs today which sucks and I really dont want to do but normally when I am dredding it all day it actually turns out to not be so bad. It just really annoys me when I am closing with new people so everything takes forever longer then it really should.
I am really looking forward to Darryls parents coming up this weekend, they should be coming up Saturday and then staying until Sunday. His moms wants to have a "girls day" with me and his sister and go out shopping and stuff. I have no idea what to make for dinner or lunch considering I have never cooked for more then two people before. Thanks to Vals help I think I am going to make a lasagna to freeze and have for lunch and then make some potato salad and some steak for dinner. Thank goodness she is going to be coming over Friday night to help me out.
I am going to be doing a job fair tomorrow and I am so nervous! I have no idea what to wear or what is going to happen and I am hoping that it is over at 5 because I have my other job to go to after that. Now I am ranting and freaking out, I hate talking in front of a large group of people so I am really hoping the girl that is going with me will be able to help me out and get me over it. Although I just heard that her babysitter sprained her ankle and she has no one to watch her kids so I am not sure if I am going to have to go alone or if they are going to call and say we can't make it.
Goal of the day: Must resist candy!
