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!

Rude awakening and epic slacking off…

So this morning I was woken up by Ms Kitler aka Heddy my adorable, yet occasionally almost always attention needy cat. Don\’t get me wrong I DO adore her and she\’s usually pretty good and TOO DAMN SMART if you ask me! I don\’t let her into my bedroom for a number of reasons, mainly because John has allergies and she likes to bite A LOT. I did a \”test run\” of letting her sleep in my room which led to my leg getting bitten because I moved my duvet therefore she is no longer welcome in here. She knows I\’m awake or at the very least home because of the noise. Either she\’ll hear my music, my TV, hell even typing which leads her to crying at my door because she figures if mom\’s awake then she should be paying attention to me.

But she also knows that when all is quiet and the lights are off, its bedtime until the morning. I don\’t hear a sound out of her until my alarm goes off. Marble was like this too, when I still had him. The sound of the alarm means its breakfast time. AKA time for me to get my ass outta bed and feed her. Usually on the weekends she doesn\’t pester me until about 10am or so unless John texts me in the morning. John had to go into work this morning and I didn\’t even hear my phone, but I heard the cat scratching and crying at the door. Which led to me yelling Jesus Heddy its Saturday! I looked at the time which was 8:30am and I was not impressed, then I heard my phone which was the culprit. Since my ring tone could be perceived as an alarm Heddy figured that I was awake. So I woke up, did my usual morning stuff, gave Heddy her breakfast and checked the phone. 5 new text messages awaited me, so I was cursing John because *I* should have been able to sleep in this morning but oh no the cat and the boyfriend have seemingly plotted against me on this one.

John tells me to go back to bed because after all its Saturday and he\’s the one who has to work not me… Then he texts me about a 1/2 hours later asking me what was in this dish he had seen or heard about on the Nintendo DS game cooking mama, Dear God are you kidding me? John\’s spending the night Sunday because he has Monday off, so maybe, just maybe I\’ll get some sleep!

On a random note, John was eating breakfast at McDonald\’s this morning and some guy thought the ketchup dispenser was HAND SANITIZER because of course that would be a common place for such things among the condiments, straws & napkins lol. I mean seriously, who does things like that? Well except for that guy but come on! Its becoming more common for places to place hand sanitizer dispensers as your walking into the store and things of that nature, we even have one at work at the cash. Of course most of this is bred from the \”swine flu\” paranoia sweeping the nation but I\’m a total germaphobe so I\’m a big fan of this concept!

However I still can\’t wrap my head around how one would confuse something that generally speaking looks like this With something that looks similar to this this
I can\’t speak for anyone else but I fail to see the similarities here.  All this and its only 2:30 in the afternoon…

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!

Life FAIL

OMG seriously I think I\’m about to loose my mind!  This whole dentist thing has my panties in a HUGE knot!  But what can I do aside from hope and keep my fingers crossed that McGill accepts me or find a cheaper dentist.  Granted I have to say I have some pretty clean teeth!  This will be my 5th brushing (after I post this ) in the past oh I dunno 15 hours!  I tell you one\’s mouth is a DIRTY place and with the epic amount of dental work I need done, no more screwing around with it!  I\’ve devised a plan though, if McGill DOESN\’T accept me as a patient then I\’m having it removed because a root canal is too expensive and doesn\’t guarantee any positive results either.  Besides a dental implant costs a little more & offers better results.  We\’ll see, I\’d hate to loose yet another tooth but I have to live within my means too.

So today while at work stoned outta my mind between the pain/bacterial infection meds I\’m on I was a tad bit air headed today to say the least. The morning started out OK, special today was chili and that\’s easy to make and dare I say the best one I have made to date! So I was stirring it using this large wooden paddle we have had when it snapped in two and splattered me with an exceptionally hot (temp wise) splash of chili across my chest and ALL over my hand/wrist which left some really bad burns.  Which thankfully were localized to the top of my hand and my wrist, it could have been MUCH worse.  The inside of my wrist is killing me, my hands not so much because I have awesome callous build up.  Of course I\’ve been smart and brought my camera to work lately but I still have yet to upload them.  Sometimes Often I tend to forget just how strong I really am!

Then I got sick, I mean were talking the most epic case of gut rot I have had in a while.  At first I thought we maybe its something I ate because chili powder is spicy enough to occasionally send my stomach off into a frenzy but then something dawned on me, my antibiotics for my tooth also cause nausea, dizziness and a few other un desirable side effects that I will leave out.  So I blame that, that must be it. Today was OK just really rough in the sense that I\’m stressed out over this whole tooth thing, I feel like a total airhead and icky!

Thankfully this weekend is a LONG weekend which means I can get some much needed work done, along with general housework and the boy is coming to visit me on Sunday night and he\’s staying over 🙂 Poor John doesn\’t stay here often because towards the middle of the night he\’s usually only left with one throw pillow (I used to have 8 reg/2 decorative pillows on my bed which have been reduced to 6 because of my 2 new memory foam pillows which are huge) and I\’m a first class duvet hog and to top it off I move around A LOT. I am not accustomed to having someone in my bed after living alone for so long for one thing and sleeping with someone who likes to cuddle. While this is cute, I do tend to get restless and want to move lol. Although my memory foam makes my bed that much more comfortable and I don\’t feel the need to toss and turn.
I kinda feel bad for him though, for a while I had a pus filled mess in my boob (which turned out to be nothing but that thank God) and now I have pus leaking from my tooth and forget about my birth control actually working. I mean really what guy wouldn\’t find that attractive? 😉 I told him that it was OK if he didn\’t kiss me, because I tell you, I wouldn\’t kiss him if he was in the same position as me lol.

On a final note: worth a laugh (Thanks  to Ania! who orginally posted this on her blog)
