Madness!

OMFG I\’ve been so busy its insane!  I\’ve become horribly addicted to Mafia wars, so much so that I think I need Mafia wars rehab lol.  In between MW rounds though I\’ve slowly been building pages and getting some much needed work done!  Anyway time to backtrack a little bit…

Saturday I did some work during the day, didn\’t get to sleep in because Ms. Kitler had a dire case of the munchies and demanded I feed her in the wee hours of the morning!  I love her, she\’s great but come on its Saturday!  Then I hit the town with Ms. Donna Saturday evening.  She had to work, I didn\’t so we met up at Berri metro which was SO sketchy!  I really hate Berri square when there isn\’t an event because that\’s where most of the drug dealers hang out and sure enough we got offered half price on PCP…  Which didn\’t surprise me but I hate hanging out at a metro by myself whilst waiting for someone to show up.
Then we went to Cafe European for dinner which was nice, we sat out on the terrace but it was somewhat windy & chilly so our food got cold a little too fast but it was pretty yummy. We were there for about two hours, munching and talking. Jeremy was in town so I gave him regular text updates because we were supposed to meet up later for drinks.

Then we headed off to Kilo Cafe for coffee and dessert. I skipped the coffee because I knew I wouldn\’t get any sleep but I had a Kilo sunrise instead which is the same as a tequila sunrise but with peach schnapps instead and it was good. Quite girly but tasty just the same. We shared a piece of this decadent raspberry thing (can\’t recall the name) but it was SO good! Light and airy with whipped cream and raspberry goodness throughout and we were stuffed!

So then we headed off to the drugstore for some drinks, this bar is massive! It has like 4 floors (as most places in the village do) with a rooftop terrace but that was closed so we settled in on the third floor which is semi closed in because its surrounded by four walls but no roof so no wind which was nice! There was someone getting married and they were being rather loud and obnoxious so that was kind of annoying but we had fun just the same. We didn\’t stay out too late since we were taking the metro and didn\’t want to miss the last one. Never did meet up with Jeremy, I got a text that said\” sorry hot men\” and that pretty much explained it all 😉

So Sunday was my day with Jeremy, we went out for brunch which seems to be our tradition of sorts now when he comes here. Anyway it was pretty warm and sunny out and that means terrace time! Also meant that I got a sunburn and so did poor Jeremy! Must invest in some more sunscreen. I of course know better but you know how it is… Anyway we were talking about my dental issues and I was debating did I want breakfast or something else. So we settled on breakfast, we ordered the same thing and just as I was about to dig in Jeremy says to me\” Um Honey, there\’s a shell in your eggs\” sure enough there was and it was HUGE how could you not see that?

Not only that, part of my eggs were slimy and not fully cooked which really grossed me out! Jeremy offered to share which is very sweet, but I still had my toast so I just nibbled on that instead. Then they came back better cooked and shell-less but you\’d think they\’d change the plate… UGH! Jeremy found a bunch of shells in his too and that of course is a total turn off. That aside our waiter was cute, very sweet and prompt! So I left him a nice tip just the same. In any case it was really nice to sit and catch up with Jeremy. Talked about a few things that would be really good for the site, and just life in general. I made him a photo album of the few pictures I have of us and the various trips he\’s taken up here and he really liked that which was good! He brought me some goodies that you can\’t buy in Canada so that was extra nice!

My week thus far has sucked, can\’t sleep to save my life! Monday I had really odd dreams of the psychologically disturbing sort and it was cold in my room so I kept waking up every freaking hour. Tuesday I had strange dreams again and woke up at 5am cos i had to pee and that was just annoying! I hate when my sleep gets interrupted like that! Throws my whole damn day off! Maybe tonight will be better, I hope so!

In happier news… I have a dental appointment at McGill July 27th! Sucks about the wait but at least I got my foot in the door!

OK i\’m a slacker!

What a crazy week I\’ve had!  First off it started with my landlord being a collosal bitch!  She obviously got my fix this that and the other thing letter or I\’m going to the regie so she tried to set up an appointment to get some FRENCH guy to look at my water tank (nothing else mind you) and I said that I would CALL him on Tuesday, not schedule an appointment, not that I would be home or ANYTHING of the sort.  She left me a nasty voicemail and started screaming and carrying on about how I\’m not home, blah blah blah…  Then she bitched about the message on my voicemail on my cell, which IS different from the one on my landline.  It says on my cell that if your calling me between such and such a time I WON\’T answer because I am at work.  I did this because I got tired of people calling me while I was at work and I don\’t have a daytime plan on my cell for that very reason. So I call him back and of course I get no answer, how utterly convient!

However in happier news I booked my vacation from work.  I also booked my tattoo appointment for July 22nd at 2pm with Tim!  YAY!  I wanted to go to ONT a little later in the month but he\’s not taking appointments after the 23rd, quite possibly the 22nd because he\’s going on vacation himself.  Don\’t ask me how I\’m going to afford all of this because I really have no clue…  Praying for the tax man to be kind to me this year!  I think its fate, because my mom\’s birthday is on the 17th and I won\’t be missing it!  Which is nice because it IS her 50th!  My awesome mommy is celebrating a big one and I along with herself I am certain would be horribly dissapointed if I missed it.

Speaking of birthdays… I got a lovely gift in the mail today from Ania!  Even though its not until June 12th but hey who doesn\’t LOVE presents!  I have pictures of course, just need to upload them from my camera.  I got a lovely (and quite handy I might add) box to stash my body jewelry in which is BRILLIANT!  I really needed something like that because while my collection such as it is, isn\’t huge but its terribly organized!  I also got some emu oil which I have never used and I am certainly looking forward to trying!  Along with some cool stickers, a super cute card and chocolate!  I\’m not hardcore fanatical about chocolate but I have been craving it ALL day (PMS) something awful and as soon as I opened my mailbox that was all I could smell 🙂  So she of course send me this amazing chocolate with this cherry/creme filling and its YUMMO!  Along with some of my favorite mini chocolates that are simply amazing!

I have loads of catching up to do and tons of pictures to post which I will do soon!

Just a quick one…

It astounds me how much SPAM I get in the comments section of old entries!  Of course I don\’t publish them because I\’m mean and I require prior comment approval FIRST.  I read every comment that comes through this blog and 98.7% of them get deleted or marked as spam.  My e-mail is just as bad!

Had a good long weekend off, really didn\’t do much with it to be honest.  I figured I was allowed to be lazy for a change!  Granted I did do my laundry, get the housework done, got some quality time in with the boy 🙂  And several other things.  Other then that I was screwing around online a lot, reading one of my favorite blogs that I haven\’t paid much attention to and that\’s hello kitty hell
 which is a rather amusing read. I\’m also addicted to hells kitchen and Mafia war games on facebook 😉

Anyway I have lots to write about and I will catch up on Wed since I was out all night after work with Donna my friend from work and I am exhausted!

Another Friday come and gone…

Its also a long weekend!  So after work I ran a few errands and decided to go shopping just for the hell of it.  I was really shopping for a new duvet cover *or* flat sheets that were in a color I liked, I of course found neither of them.  Did get some good buys though!  I bought a really warm fuzzy blanket since my cat laid claim to my \”spare\” blanket for when I have guests over.  Also bought myself a new hand mixer since I lost the beaters to mine and it was actually cheaper to buy a new one then replacements!  Then I thought well I need new socks, I tear through socks like no ones business because I\’m on a my feet a lot.  I have cute ones but they\’re made out of acrylic and don\’t breath very well which leads to some epic foot stench on some occasions! So I was poking around the \”intimates\” section when I hit pay dirt! They had Hello kitty panties and I was SO happy! They\’re freaking adorable and I love them 🙂

Funny story about shopping today… I\’m very particular about how things in my home look and the walls of my bedroom are an unusual color. So I thought I found flat sheets that would be suitable to make a duvet cover out of. Its MUCH cheaper to buy 2, sew them together if you have the means of course and make your own as opposed to buying one. I like things that are plain. Anyway I thought I found what I wanted and of course if I make a new duvet cover then I need new pillowcases too lol. My duvet is currently in its natural state but its high maintenance to keep it white all the time and I don\’t bleach it because for one thing it breaks down the fibers and if you ever bleach your whites and notice odd little yellow spots, what most people refer to as \”pit stains\” those are actually protein deposits and its bleach that makes them yellow. So when I wash my duvet I soak it in vinegar, baking soda and a little bit of lemon juice with some water overnight in my tub and then I wash it. Keeps it nice and white that way but it IS a pain to do that all the time so I thought a duvet cover would at least help.

Anyway I noticed someone was \”following\” me. This guy hung out in the same aisles that I did which was mostly bedding because I was trying to find single sheets and not a full set and this store is HORRIFICALLY set up! So I\’m hemming and hawing, debating on this that and the other thing, running back and forth to the price check thing because some of those sheets are SUPER expensive! Anyway I had this stalker and then it dawned on me that it was an undercover \”mall cop\” and let me tell you he was doing a bad job! So I started at the opposite end of the same aisle, then I would grab a bunch of stuff, leave and then move to aisles down and leave it somewhere else. Wait for him to see me empty handed and then grab something else and I kept doing this just for fun. I DO feel bad for whomever is stuck sorting out the shelves later but hey, at least its all in the same dept.!

So I did some miscellaneous browsing and seen the mixer on sale grabbed that, headed of the cleaning aisle and sure enough there was what\’s-his-name. So then I went back to the bedding section to grab said blanket and then left in search of socks, got distracted by shoes because I need a killer pair of heels for a photo shoot and couldn\’t find any that would fit my feet that I liked. My feet are tiny but FAR from dainty! I wish shoe designers would keep that in mind, not everyone\’s foot is like 3\” wide. Anyway all the while there\’s this guy hanging around in the background. That is until I hit the underwear dept and I think everyone must have thought I was nuts because I was like a fat kid on cake when I seen that they FINALLY have HK underwear in Canada that\’s actually made by Sanrino and isn\’t stupid expensive ($5.97/pair in case your wondering) then I headed off to the cash and out I went. Boy was he surprised when the senors/alarm didn\’t go off.
Yeah I\’ll admit that I\’m NOT a fashion plate, ESPECIALLY since I just go off of work, not a purse girl I prefer knapsacks because they\’re far more practical and easier to carry and I look slightly skidly but not THAT bad geez! In any case it amused me for a while 🙂 I was accustomed to getting followed around by security when I was married because Jeff looks SO stereotypical in the sense that he would scream shoplifter more then me lol. I hate to say it, but its true. With the ton of piercings, the visible tattoos, the Mohawk and the punk lifestyle most people assume that your a thief. John said to blame it on my tattoos but you can\’t see any of them when I\’m wearing jeans AND a jacket, they\’re all covered up. Whatever, some people just have REALLY narrow minds!
