Well, well, well, it's that time again. Friday has creeped up on us...

 

I love this.  This is totally me. 

 

I am taking a half day at work today.  I (or I should say, we) ended busted my ass to go pick up these clocks for a retirement thingymabob and it ended up being over an hour away and so because I went above and beyond and did what no one else wanted to do, I was given a half day in lieu for my efforts and appreciation.  Totally nice of her, wasn't expected that's for sure.

 

So I'm off to do a 30 minute Jillian Michaels BodyShred and then take the bus home and meet up with my man to spend the rest of the day with him and the boys.  I'll be going out shopping with my mom later tonight, as she wants to get me some winter boots as an early birthday gift, and maybe an outfit or something.

 

Tomorrow, I'm off to Collingwood and more notably, Scandinave Spa for a massage and to also enjoy their salt waters.  I'm headed up there with three girlfriends and we'll see what the night brings us.  Hopefully no bullshit, or drama, but then again, girls bring the drama most times, don't they?

 

So have a great weekend all!! xox

It's Friday kids!  This weekend is Bachelorette Weekend with Tara, the unsuspecting bride.  She knows that something is going on tomorrow but isn't sure what exactly yet.  Plus, we're all throwing her bogus stories and details where none of them make sense if you add them all up and put them together. 

Current songs in my head for the last week:

• "Best Friend" by Foster the People
• "Sleeping with a friend" by Neon Trees. 
• "Stay with Me" by Sam Smith
• "Saturday" by Basshunter

I get stuck on certain songs for a awhile, which is why I have a BodyPump song stuck in my head from my class at the gym. LOL Such a loser! 

Jeff and I went biking last night, it was too nice of a night not to.

I don't have a white girl flat ass anymore. I can thank lots of squats and lunges for that :)

 

I hope you all have a great weekend. I'll be taking my DSLR this weekend so hopefully will get some good pics to post for Monday.

Ciao!

It's slow at work.  Mainly because a handful are attending a social media conference until lunch today.  The other reason, people were smart and booked today and Monday off for a super long and nice long weekend.  Not I, my friends.  Wasted too many bloody days earlier this year being sick off my ass with those wretched evil pills that my body hated so much.  Which, I should mention, after time and healing, my legs have healed but there are definite scars from that shit.  I can't wait to see what the hospital says when I go for my appointment on August 6th.

So we're going to talk about my pet peeves, or things that irritate that fuck out of me.... Hehe

- I can't stand when people walk let's say four wide and every attempt to pass results in being denied. No spatial awareness or care for those around you.

- I don't appreciate when talking to someone if they stand mere inches away from your face. I don't need to smell your wretched breath thank you.

- it's widely known that I rarely get song with or make friends with females. I just can't stand the bullshit/drama/cattiness shit. Girls can be so awful, I find men on general dad more easygoing and to get along with.

- if you're going to use my supplies at work, fine but no need to steal my stappler. Go up to the fucking supplies room and get your own you lazy twat. 

- When you hold a door for someone, a simple thanks goes a long way. 

- know-it-alls. Can't get a word in edge wise so why bother wasting your time?

- people who press the elevator call button a bazillion times thinking it'll come quicker. It won't, so please stop. Lol

- condescending or people that go out of their way to make someone feel excluded of unwelcome... *ahem, this wedding*

- I can't stand it if I come home from pet visits all day and Jeff hasn't moved an inch. Shit everywhere, pop cans... Biggest arch nemesis. Pick up after yourself, it's not hard!!!

I'm going to end it by saying HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!! (Tomorrow)  

To end this on a good note, here are the puppies sunbathing and the second isbjeff walking the boys Nd girls this afternoon :)

and from a few nights when the kids came back from a puppy play date at moms house: 

So since I don't feel like dwelling or going into what the last few days have been like (brutal, frustrating, sad, pathetic, hard, stressful), I just don't want to talk about it.

I woke up jaded, quite frankly, after all it is Valentine's Day today.  I've never been huge into the Hallmark holiday, I think it's stupid that flowers are quadruple in prices (at least) and good luck getting a reservation at a restaurant if you haven't book it months ago.  Yeah I'm a planner but not that much of a planner.  Anyways, the hubs and I have been walking on egg shells the last 4-5 days so I woke up this morning and I was like DIE DIE DIE to all those lovey dovey assholes that get all smushy on this stupid day.  Frankly I believe if you can`t love on someone and treat them like gold the rest of the year, why bother on the one designated day, right?  But I came home (Jeff decided to have some space and head up north to visit his parents and go shooting with his dad and brother) and there was a note and 2 dozen flowers! (!!)  The note said:  I love you.  Always have, always will.  Sighhhhhhhhhhhh.  Be still my heart.  This man, no matter what I do, say, what we`ve argued about, whatever, loves me to pieces.  I think sometimes he has a shitty way of showing it, but things like that are really nice and thoughtful.

So here I am, it`s nearly 7 pm and I`ve got my dogs this weekend, I`m going to make some stir fry shortly and tomorrow I`m going out for the day with my mom and step dad, meeting up with a dear friend and seeing 5 Leonbergers.  IE Fun times with the Leos.  Post pics tomorrow :)

Well well, it is Friday.  One of the longest weeks ever!  Tuesday I didn't go into work because I just didn't feel like getting stuck on transit or the delays and I just didn't want to deal with the aftermath of the Toronto "flood" or monsoon what many are calling it.  The rain accumulated ridiculously quickly, that's why it was so bad.  One commuter train that heads north parallel to my train but further east was under water up past the doors and just below the seats on the bottom levels of the train.  Toronto Marine Unit needed to come rescue 1,400 people!! Can you bloody imagine? And then to boot, there was a god damn snake on the train that had come in from the flood waters.  That right there would have made me freak the fuck out and completely lose my cool.  One man described the snake as friendly.  Uhhhhhhh? lol  Anyways.

Tuesday night was my first night not doing karma exchange at the yoga studio, which was a pleasant change from the usual Tuesday norm for the last year.  Instead, we were to meet my mom and step dad for Mexican food, only to find out the place was closed.... Grr.  We were so looking forward to Mexican that night... Instead we went to a pub and it was nothing spectacular. 

Wednesday night was spent packing up things to take over to my mom's and I went to visit her a bit that night as well. 

Thursday, moving in day to my mom's.  She was off to Cuba with her hubby for a week and we are house/dog sitting at her place for a week.  Jeff went back home last night because he had a Costco run to do today and I'll be seeing him after work.

Sunday we're going to Center Island.  There's an India Festival there and along with that, free YOGA :)  So I'm dragging Jeff there, along with Bruce and Greg and meeting my friend Marah there too.

Enjoy the weekend. :)

This week's happening's...

Alrighty then, so its Friday! Wooooo!  Which means the weekend is nearly upon us. 

To catch up:

• I don't have cancer, which is great, however it's interesting because during all this gammut, it was never once mentioned to me that that's what they were looking into.  I also don't have endometriosis.  Also great news because that can be a bitch.  So I'm trying out some new medication to see how that goes out, I think my body is just tired of being on the same shit for nearly 14 years.  The specialist prescribed this other pill that has three times more the risk of strokes and blood clots.  Thankfully, the following day I had made an appointment with my doctor and she disagreed with her recommendation and prescribed another altogether, but one that would have the same effects they were looking to try.  Also, I have referrals to get my allergies tested again (to see if I've outgrown some of the horrible allergies I developed a couple years ago to fruits, but also I'd like to see if anything new has come up that explains why my face has flared up).  It's not just simply acne, you have acne usually for your entire life but up until 6 months ago, my face started getting red and bumpy... Totally frustrating.  Could be psoriasis, roseacea or ezcema, who knows.  Having said that, I also have a referral coming to see a dermatologist.
• Mom gets home on Sunday, which means we'll be heading back to home sweet home in the evening after we pick her and my step-dad up.
• Today, myself and a few women from work went for some Thai food at a local resturant to kick of Winterlicious 2013.  Was the best $15 I've spent in a long time.
• Registered and paid for my Yoga Conference hours on the weekend of March 22nd.  I can't wait!!  Marah and I are going to mainly Sean Corne sessions, which I'm super stoked about and excited to see her lovely soul again.  Not too long to look forward to that shiz-nit.
• Hmm what else, this weekend, taking J down to the city to a Burger place that he likes for his 36th birthday (!!) since next week I can't promise anything because it's my petsitting weekend.
