Happy 2012!

omb, so much to say...it's been so long (but, apparently that's how we roll)

CHRISTMAS PARTY

V partied it up until 4:00 am and had the DJ busting out all the classic 90's rap songs on the dance floor,       J was tired and left early(ish).  Food was good. In typical fashion V borrowed the following items:

• a pear shape ornament full of glitter
• a gold ball ornament, and.....
• a footlong red glitter christmas tree from the bartender

After the work Christmas party we went back to a hotel where I also found a brand new shower cap and a makeup remover cloth.  Yes I know I have a problem... It only happens when I drink and I would never take from a friend.

OVER THE HOLIDAYS
+10, V

Well the holidays were pretty crazy for me.  From December 23 until January 2 the earliest I went to bed which was only one night was 12:30 a.m.  The average bed time for me during the holidays was 3:30 a.m.  I also really got a lot of use out of my Bieber under the Mistletoe CD and also found a male friend who loved that song as much as I do.  Many a dance parties happened to this song.  My new years was spent at the local legion where my family lives and it was $40 including a DJ, all you could drink, eat and a ride home or to a house party in town which is where I used my ride to.  Needless to say, another late night which I think ended at 5 or 5:30 a.m.

Oh, forgot to mention on Boxing day my sister C and I watched 7 hours of swamp people.  Don't really know why I just think we both were so tired and no one wanted to move or change the channel.  For those of you who don't know this show it is about hunting alligators in a 30 day period per year.  It was interesting to say the least.

Holidays were great -- didn't do too much. No "swamp people" marathons or anything cool like that. Just eating a lot of food and hanging out with the fam. Watched Rounders and it was great. Watched other stuff too...just can't remember. Went to a few parties, hung out with a few friends...loved the time off.

Also visited this place (V was sooooo jealous):

NEW OFFICE

Oh yeah, we moved so (prepare yourselves, because this is pretty bad news) we don't share an office anymore and went through a...

BREAK UP

It's still in that awkward phase right after when we see each other a lot and aren't quite sure how to treat one another because there are still those feelings that meant so much for so long...you know how it is. If we're being totally truthful (and, let's be honest, we always are) that's part of the reason that we haven't been updating. Because it's hard to choose who gets the pet after the break up.

-10, J

I think we can still patch things up, we'll just have to both commit to spending more time together.

+10, V

It's so hard to do long distance but I think this is just something we have to go through and we'll be back together and stronger than ever at the end of it.

VITAMIN TIME

Similar to Jersey Shore's "t-shirt time" we now take vitamin's (almost) every day.   Right now we are on the Vitamin D and once we go shopping we hope to upgrade to the C as well.  It's nice to have activities that we can share and it gives us an excuse to spend time together...just us.

FREE LUNCHES

This week I've had free lunch every day - it's excellent.

Dear Corporate,

Keep those lunches coming.

Sincerely,

V&J

HAPPY 2012 TO YOU ALL

Gearing up for the company CHRISTMAS PARTY

Above is a photo of the place that we'll be having the time of our lives soon (i.e. the golf course that our Christmas Party is being held at).

+10, V

Got my nails 'did yesterday at the salon. At $20 it's not a huge surprise that the french manicure is already chipping...guess I'll bust out the white out.

My hair's gettin' 'did  Dec 5 -- gotta get the roots dyed for the par-tay.

Almost done my Christmas shopping -- went for 2 weekends in a row and today I'm going to finish it off.

-10, J

It's already DECEMBER!!! Christmas is so close and I'm very excited.

V told me about this manicure of hers and said "didn't you notice that I'm growing my nails out?!?!".

The next day she said "I like your boots". I've had the boots for 2 weeks, she never noticed.

+10, V

Today at work, we got our first poinsettia. Now we're waiting for the chocolates and cookies to roll in. We try to be especially nice to our receptionist so that we get first dibs on all the gifts that come into the office -- no one wants to be left with the cherry centered chocolate.

Caramel is where it's at!

I've been eating healthy all week in anticipation of these chocolates. If I eat healthy for 6 days in a row I can have 6 chocolates every time a box comes in. Right?

-10, J

I'll keep you all posted on the number of complaints that I get that V is feeling "so sick" and all the times she accuses me for her sickness by saying "why did you let me eat all those chocolates?"

+10, V

Still loving the jacket.

Sex Bomb

-10, J

This is what V was singing today.

I don't have anything more to say.

+10, V

My mom used to love this song. I swear that's the only reason I know it, I'm not old enough to be a Tom Jones fan.



SHOW STOPPER 2012

 +10, V

Isn't it beautiful?

7.5' tall. 10 light settings. Love it.

Apparently my ceiling is 8'.

I opted to decorate with ornaments that I already had, gifts from over the years and such. It's possibly the best SHOW STOPPER yet.

New Jacket

+10, V

Everyone around the office is LOVING my new jacket (but not as much as I do). Since I'm freezing today I guess I'll just have to wear it all day long, oh darn. Normally I'd just steal someone's space heater but J is having hot flashes and it just makes sense to wear the coat all day. Really, it does. I promise.

-10, J

This morning as we drove to work V said "I think I'm getting a chest cold". It's time to start a tally because it feels like she says some variation of this every day.

Just got back from a trip to Calgary to visit my friend, M. It was great.

+10, V: I was sick with a cold last week.

-10, J: That's true.

"I have something to tell you, and you can't say anything..."

-10, J

The title of this post is what V said to me this morning. Knowing where she'd gone on the night of her birthday (and guessing that she'd gotten pretty loaded while she was there), I was pretty concerned about what this confession was.

To be honest, I wasn't even sure that I wanted to hear whatever she had to say next.

Watched White Irish Drinkers this weekend. It's a lot like that Ben Affleck movie where they rob banks, but it didn't have as much budget.

If you go to 1:17 of this clip, you'll see what my roommate tried to reinact this weekend...minus the person considering suicide...really, just the song. It was awesome.

+10, V

So there I am, second row, screaming (and I mean screaming) at the cowboy who was undressing before my eyes. By the end he was fully undressed. Only a few do that, so my eyes were really glued to the stage. Only after the show was over and I saw him fully clothed at the DJ booth did I recognize him as a guy from the small town where I grew up. I put a lot of thought into whether or not I should go over and see if it really was him.  After standing and staring for at least a full minute, I couldn't do it.  Turns out I didn't have to cause he came up to me and said "I thought I recognized you"  I was mortified and could only respond as my drunk self would allow in total shock "Oh my god, I screamed for you...I didn't know it was you. Well at least you have a big weiner, good for you."

He and I are bbm friends now and he texted me throughout the weekend. It's getting weird, I think I'm going to delete him.

Went 'home' to my small town this weekend and got tanked. Wasn't able to eat until 5pm yesterday. I've got to quit this. In fact, I've asked J to keep me accountable.

-10, J

V's confession was "I feel like I'm about to get sick".

This would have a lot more impact if you knew that she has been saying this for the past three weeks.

V's BIRTHDAY!

-10, J

Is there anything wrong with V using Bieber's "Under the Mistletoe" album to pump herself up for the helicopter show tonight?

(Full disclosure: I got her the album. After purchasing it I looked at the cashier and said "this isn't going to beep when I walk out of here, is it? I really can't handle being accused of stealing a Justin Bieber CD".)

+10, V

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!

30+ posts on my fb wall make me the most popular person that I know, no big deal.

My roomie got me "Under the Mistletoe" and we've been grooving to JB's sweet voice all day. While we were in line for Birthday Starbucks this morning I found another birthday twin (we already knew about another person in the office, A, who shares this special birthday day with me).

Unfortunatly RIM isn't honouring this day the way that they should -- fb on my blackberry isn't working :( .
I'm goin' get ma herr did in half an hour -- so I'll be all ready for tonight. If you see a crazy lady in the front row oogling (i.e. screaming) over the cop, that's me.

I LOVE YOU JUSTIN BIEBER!
