GUESS WHO'S DEAD

+10, V

Do you know "The Monkees"? Davy Jones?

DEAD

AND EVEN WORSE... SNOOKIE IS PREGNANT!

-10, J

I may have heard that a band called "the monkees" existed. maybe.

V's been singing the same line from one of their songs "heeeey we're the monkey's" all morning as she spreads the word around our office. It's something like a mission for her to share.

I've heard of Snookie before, but never watched "the Shore". Office reaction so far has been "well, it was only a matter of time" and "that poor child".

TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE AWESOME -- I'll let you guess why.

Hey Girl

-10, J

V just spent about...10 minutes (that's a conservative guess) at my desk looking over this site. Here are our favourites.

+10, V

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to whoever made this site.

I love you

(for real)

Ben's Hair & SURVIVOR ONE WORLD

-10, J

Did you know that we have a SURVIVOR pool here at the office? I can't remember if we've blogged about this before.

+10, V

We both agree that Troy has a case of "the ben" which means that he needs a haircut. Speaking of that paritcular issue, this twitter feed is perfect:

I'm Bachelor Ben Flajnik's awesome, floppy hair. You might remember me from the head of the kid you had a crush on in middle school. And now I'm back!

Things that we're waiting for the chance to say in real life:

oh boy, too bad people said this:

Bill: "Pet Peeves: Clichés "

Chelsea: "3 Words to Describe You: Funny, driven and bad ass."

Greg: "Inspiration in Life:  Tarzan"

Jay (V's chosen boyfriend): "Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I have heart. "

Kat: "Inspiration in Life: Xena. She is the warrior princess"

Kim: "Personal Claim to Fame: I can figure out what animal a person would be within five minutes of meeting them"

The Vow

+10, V

Ben picked friggin Courtney and whoever made this video is my hero.

Also, I'm on a health kick to prep for my trip -- already lost 4lbs (my goal is 10).

We have a long weekend coming up so everyone around the office is generally in a great mood -- who doesn't love extra time off?

-10, J

Saw "The Vow" last night.

Don't waste your time going to see it (believe me, I'm as disappointed about this as you are).

You know what freaks me out? Seeing doppelgangers of people that you haven't see in a while.

+10, V

There have been a few celebrity deaths since I last blogged about celebrity deaths. I've been telling everyone around the office.

-10, J

(she literally has yelled it to anyone within earshot)

+10, V

Soooooo, Whitney was a shocker. I remember exactly where I was when I found out about MJ and I'll remember exactly where I was when I found out about Whitney: on my way to get a sandwich at Tim Hortons.

Oh, did I tell you already? remember that boy that I made out with ... Well I wasn't going to blog about this part but then I realized it was too good to leav out. 

Well, in the moment of seduction, I guess he thought it was sexy to rub his half swollen member against my knee.  Yes, of course this will get you to be able to spend the night.  Seriously??? I almost burst out laughing but I am not one to hurt someones feelings and make them feel like less of a man unless they really deserve it.  I have to say it was a good try.  I really hope he is having fun in Hawaii.

There... I feel better now that I got that off my chest!

Guess what I got today.....

MY NEW MARY KAY COMPACT.

Check it out, there's a secret compartment.

That's right, It's awesome!


-10, J

I don't wear blush.

In fact, I know very few people my age that wear blush. This is a difference that the decade between us makes.

+10, V

Fine, if you don't think that's cool then try this on for size:

-10, J

So, I pick V up on our way to work and she looks...excited, or maybe even upset. And she says:

"You will not believe what just happened."

And then she goes on to tell me ...

+10, V

So, my friend M calls me up and tells me that she just

WON A TRIP TO AN ALL INCLUSIVE RESORT IN CANCUN AND SHE'S TAKING ME.
That's right -- I get a week of bliss for F to the R to the E to the E

I'm so excited that I barely know what to say!!

Oh wait... I know what to say, I LOVE YOU M!

What a Weekend!

+10, V

Well, -10, J has been off work Friday and Monday... Lucky Girl!

This weekend I decided to go to see my family in our small town and wow... I really could have swore I was the -10 this weekend.  Let's see... Friday I went to one of the two local bars and met a guy from Calgary, where I used to live.  Besides having that in common, he was going on a trip to Hawaii which he won through work,  (He left on Sunday at 6 am) I am going on a free trip next month, we went outside for a very bad habit and turns out we smoke the same brand... Which is really weird because I smoke menthol cheap brand cigarettes (Only on occasion and especially when drinking).  By the end of the night, which was approximately 4:30 am we had kissed and then I sent him on his way.  He did however say we could get married so he could take me on his free trip to Hawaii.

I will most likely never see this person again, but we are now facebook friends and it always makes a good story.

...to Beauty & the Best Musical.

I'd forgotten how much I love live theatre. Great show. Thanks, V, Well really thanks to her friend M who was not able to make it!

Hi-lights include: V peeking into the orchestra pit (which was RIGHT in front of us) and saying "that guy playing the clarinet is really hot" and me saying "that's an oboe".

Has anyone ever heard of calling the orchestra pit an "f hole"? I'm too scared to google it but my roommate was convinced that's what the pit was called...I'm pretty sure he got caught up in some conversation about f holes in violins/violas/cellos/double basses and missed something.

Successful virus...

-10, J

...did you know that some hacker somewhere struck gold (so to speak) when they created an e-mail virus and sent it out with the subject line "i love you"?

It's true, people just want to be loved.

On that note; anyone interested?

I think V should apply -- what's the harm?

Back to the Beginning

-10, J

V's been hassling me about how we've strayed from our mandate (and, coincidentally, the title of this blog). So, we have a little story for you about the difference a decade makes.

+10, V

It's true, we barely ever talk about the differences between us.  If we want to get on Ellen, we'd better start talking about our original idea.

So, we live where the weather can get pretty cold (see previous post with the weather network screen shot). The other day I went up to J's desk and said, "so...maybe...if you want to...we could go to [insert name of grocery story here] on our way home...?" and J agreed (-10, J of course I agreed, I don't want you to starve!). So, we went. And it was a particularly cold day, the kind where you breathe in and when the cold air hits the back of your throat you have to cough a bit to recover because it's almost choking you. J parked the car and we got out, me in my parka and sorel boots and toque and scarf and mitts and J took off her hat. Seriously?!?!?! It's an unspeakably cold temperature outside and her head is uncovered. That my friends is a major difference that the decade between us makes.  When you get to a certain age, staying warm is much more important than looking good.

I guess another difference is the fact that I have Sorel boots and she still wears fashion boots :)  The fashion boots do look warm, but not Sorel warm.

-10, J

I don't deny any part of that story.

In my defense: the hat that I'd grabbed that particular day was a snowboarding hat and there were only about ten steps from my car to the door of the store, so it was unnecessary and I probably would have taken the hat off as soon as we'd gotten in and then set it down when going to pick something else up and then accidently forgotten about it and then gotten all the way home before realizing that my hat was missing and that would have been annoying.
