Just another day...

As I mentioned in my last post the appliances in my house are plotting against us, well they have struck again! When Darryl and I got home from work last night we found that our thermostat was no longer working, you can’t turn the heat up or down and none of the buttons are working. The guy for the stove came and fixed that all up so now I don’t have to live on things I can make on the stove or microwave which is a relief. As soon as he left I was watching Madonna on Oprah and the tv made a pop noise and the picture totally went. OH….MY….GOD! Well the my friends was our lamp going, I was relieved that it was not something more serious and a new one is on the way in 2-3 business days, hmmm that means we have to actually spend time together, DAMNIT! Teehee j/k.

I was doing a belly dancing workout dvd that I bought and I did the warm-up and then I started doing the cardio when they start doing dance combinations. In case any of you didn’t know I am not at all coordinated. So I am keeping up fairly well and then she starts doing this step thing which is cool but then she adds the arms and I have no fucking clue…so I turned it off. I hate feeling like a fat idiot two steps behind and can’t for the life of me figure out what they are doing.

Ooh! I almost forgot I got my new Pampered Chef stuff in the mail and it is sooo nice! Some of the things I am not too impressed with but meh, it was free. The sautee pan I got is really nice, it is really heavy and can tell its really good quality. Lo you are going to love it. Anyway the damn phone wont stop ringing, can you imagine people wanting me to do my work? Geesh!

Its supposed to snow today

I have been looking online for some cool ideas for my pumkin because we are going to be carving it this weekend since Halloween is on Tuesday. I think I am going to try and convince Darryl to decorate a little bit more, even if we just go to the dollar store and get some stuff. We haven't even bought candy to hand out yet which is probably for the best because I know it would call to me and my only option would be to eat it. And well.....my ass doesn't like when I do that because then its only option is to get huge. Its hard to carve a really cool looking pumpkin without being inappropriate. Last year I had a cool idea of a gun shot wound pumkin that was going to look really cool but since we have little kids come to our house Darryl didn't think it was a good idea.

I am hopefully going to get my teeth taken out this Friday, I say hopefuly only because the sooner I get them out the sooner I can get my braces on and that is the only reason. I am trying not to think about all of the yanking and needles that are going to be involved and instead thinking of the happy word my dentist used to describe it, "wiggle them out". I wish it was just wiggle, it makes it sound like you are going to tickle the teeth and because they hate tickling they are going to wiggle and squirm and come out. Wouldn't that be great? Although you would have to be really careful not to tickle your teeth that are perfect the way they are.

My stove is broken, I am thinking it probably didn't get the memo that said we are broke and they fewer things that need repairing/replacing the better. I have a guy coming in tomorrow to take a look at it and until then we are living off left over pizza from Sunday. I don't think I could put into words how sick I am of pizza. My vacuum is also broken, stupid piece of crap. I put this carpet deodorizer on and it wont even suck that up, of course I find this out after I have put the deodorizer down and before we are about to have company over.

For the past two weeks I have been addicted to a show called the Real World: Austin. Yes it is a reality show and I am ashamed but it is really good! Plus we have all of the episodes saved on our Rogers On Demand. Every spare second I got I was watching this show and part of me said there are only 20 episodes you should space them out so they will last longer but no I couldn't take the suspense and I watched all of them and now I am sad because there is a void there where I used to watch Real World. Ia m just hoping Rogers updates their archives and puts a different Real World there. I should write them an e-mail and explain my addiction and how I need to live my life vicariously through various reality tv shows.

I should really start thinking about doing some work.

can I get a heater over here?

It is getting colder here, a sign that the inevitable winter is coming. I am trying to digs my heels in and not move forward, and not let winter come but unfortunately its not working. The leaves are turning beautiful colours and I love that I get towear my super stylin' jackets rather then my big puffy winter jacket. It would be fine with me if winter never came at all, the only activity I like to do is skating and now with my bad knees that is a nightmare, so really there is nothing that makes me look forward to winter except that once and awhile the snow is pretty, and I love being bundled inside on the couch, drinking egg nog and eating gingerbread cookies watching the snow fall outside. I am thinking about taking upskiing this year so that I am not totally dredding winter.

Thanks to the change in weather I am starting to feel sick like I am coming down with something, but I am not letting it get me down because, I JUST GOT ENGAGED!Teehee that wont get old and my friends you have atleast two more years of itso get used to it.
I love that I can look at wedding stuff online for a real reason instead of, maybe someday. Although it wont be a couple of years until we get married I still want toprice things out so we know how much we need to save and buy some things a long the way so its not so hard all at once.

Brrr...it is freezing in my house and I don't think my wet hair is helping. Ciao bellas!

I went to Niagara Falls this weekend and I had a blast!! We went through a terrifying haunted house that I swear addressed every one of my fears. I wouldn't have made it through if it weren't for Darryl being there. My cousin Laura and her husband came with us which was really nice because we rarely get to spend any time together just the four of us. Now because I can't think of a way to ease into this and I have to write about it before I burst, Darryl proposed to me while we were there!!!

He took me down by the falls, brought me over to three sets of benches where we could be by ourselves, and he said, " we have been together for three years now, you make me so happy....will you make me happy again (got down on one knee) will you be my wife?". I was balling by the first line, I couldn't believe it.

We came back to the hotel room and since me and Laura had a room that joined I came into my room, then into hers and said, " I AM SO ENGAGED!!!" (its our thing to say it like that) and she looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I jumped on her on the bed and we both hugged and balled our eyes out. After we caught them up on everything that happened we spent the rest of the night drinking our faces off and celebrating.
