Another Celebrity Gone!!!

Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you guys but I just found out that Macho Man Randy Savage is DEAD!  (He was a wrestler for all you -10's)

What tragic news to get on a Friday of a long weekend!  Other than that, nothing to report except it is now supposed to RAIN ALL WEEKEND.... BOO!!!

Wow... It sure has been a long time!

+10, V

It sure has been crazy around here lately!!!

So sorry for not updating in such a long time.  Things have been really busy at work.  Nothing exciting has happened in my personal life, however on Friday, May 6 I had the best night ever partying with a bunch of twenties in my home town.  Have you ever played Beer Pong?

We had a tournament in someones garage, which is really not a garage it is more like a pimped out man cave.  I had just arrived to see my sister and ten minutes later I was paired up with a hippy looking twenty something from BC to play Beer Pong.  Seriously so fun!  I will definitely play that again.

When I say nothing has been going on in my personal life, I mean NOTHING!  I have now been living in this province for almost a year and only one thing happened to me and that was meeting that stupid idiot which I had to counsel.  Not a great year!

Anyway, I have been walking to and from work and feel really great about that.  -10, J and I still keep our Starbucks Friday traditions though, so I don't walk that morning.  This weekend is a long weekend and again I really don't have anything exciting planned.  I was going to go camping but that fell through and it is now supposed to rain anyway.  I think I will go back to my hometown and do some afternoon patio time with my sisters.  Hopefully there will be another matchup of Beer Pong!

We feel terrible...

Correspondence isn't supposed to begin with an apology, so I'll save that for the middle somewhere.

Everything has been crazy busy lately. I don't even remember what was all going on the last time we posted, but I'll just pick up from right where I'm at and hope that you can keep up.

Last weekend I celebrated Easter with family there was a lot of food and it was lovely.

I also ended up with a sun burn after lying in the sun. Note to self: never forget sun screen.

This summer I have issued myself a challenge: To read the entire Harry Potter series and then have a Harry Potter movie marathon. I read the first book for an English class in university, but never got into the whole thing, since the final film in the series comes out this summer I think it's about time I jump on the bandwagon. Does anyone have book 1 for me to borrow?

Work has been busier than ever. I sort of hate it. But today is ok. I'm sorry for not posting more often, my bad.

Spring Fever!

Hello Everyone.

Today is Tuesday, April 5 and I am now on my second week of eating healthy and on my second day of walking to and from work.  Well, actually I am not walking home today because I have the worst shin splints!  I am out of shape, but not that bad.  I walked to and from work all last summer up until the middle of December when the snow hit.  Now that I am older and still single I thought it would be a good idea to try to be healthier.  I have a friend who joined weight watchers and already lost five pounds in two weeks but I don't think I am as dedicated as she is. 

This weekend my Mom came for a visit on Saturday and I made a crock pot of chili in the morning, went shopping in the afternoon, watched the movie "get him to the greek" (super stupid), and then went to the casino for a few hours of bingo.  Don't worry, my weekends will surely spice up now that the weather is nicer and patio season will begin.  Hopefully a lot of you will join me for my beloved patio drinks.

Today I am going to the doctor to refill my birth control prescription in the hopes... I mean in case I am faced with a situation of lust so there will not be any unplanned pregnancies.  Or if you know me I like to say: in case I ever fall on a ween I will be prepared :)

I am also having my Tuesday night get together with my friend (CC) and am looking forward to it since she was away last week.  She better of brought me my magnet!  Yes, I collect magnets from different places, please don't judge me.  It's the one thing you can collect that doesn't add clutter.

Finally, my favourite show Vampire Diaries is back on the air this Tuesday!  I am so looking forward to seeing Damon Salvatore back on the big screen.  I love him so much on the show and then followed him on twitter and it turns out he is a cat lover and animal activist.  I do not consider myself a mean person but I HATE cats and think there are better things to focus your energy on than animals.  Now, now, don't send me any hate comments cause it's not like that.  I'm just really not a pet person.

Let's just say that I can no longer claim to have never been in a limo while in a full Richard-Simmons-esque outfit, which ended up being more '80's aerobics-esque, complete with off-the-shoulder baggy shirts and fluorescent pink socks. We got the limo (and went through with the theme) for my friend's birthday on Friday and it was absolutely hilarious. People were crowd surfing, music was loud...and then we went to the club. All-around an excellent night.

Saturday night I saw "Lincoln Lawyer" which I went into with very low expectations and left pleasantly surprised. If you're in the mood for a legal drama I'd recommend it. Reminded me of a John Grisham book-into-movie...sort of a "Runaway Jury" vibe but more intense).

Sunday lunch was with several lovely people. And then I spent some quality time with Zach and Natalie (i.e. main characters in "Garden State", an excellent recommendation).

Have you ever had a conversation with a friend about a problem and felt that they understood exactly what you were describing (in an honest way, not a yeah-sure-I'll-nod-my-head-so-you-shut-up-soon way). It's really nice when that happens.

Steve, Mike...does it make a difference?

-10, J

So there are these two guys, Steve and Mike. Both of them like me, but neither one seems to care about me as a person. You know the kind of guy that just wants to win the girl because then they'll have beat some other guy? Both of them seem like that and it's childish. I don't want a boy, I want a man! The worst part is that they're constantly talking about how the other one is stupid and doesn't deserve me (one of the most unattractive qualities I've ever experienced).

Do they have such low self-esteem that they can't find good qualities about themselves? I mean, come on, if you like me so much, prove that you're worth a commitment. I know some other girls that are in this situation and they've backed away from both guys because they get bored, but I really want a relationship.

I know that Steve and Mike each only want one thing from me, but I'm going to need some serious attention before I give it up to them; my vote doesn't come cheap.

So, what's a girl to do? Either Steve or Mike is going to have to bring his game to the next level, otherwise I'll have to go for this third guy, Jack, he seems ok...but I might be wasting my time. My last resort is dumping the men altogether to be with this girl, Liz. Who knows, maybe a little experimenting is just what I need.

Well, Nothing exciting to report.  I have spent the last few evenings at home catching up on my PVR recordings.  On Wednesday J came over as we had plans to cook a few different meals.  These plans were made about a week ahead of time so once the day came and I worked a crazy busy day and we left late... I really didn't want to do it.  If you know me, I would much rather go out for dinner than make one at home. 

It's just that it is so much work to cook for one person and then you have a ton of left overs which I get sick of fast.  Anyway, with a bit of a push, J convinced me on making the meal.  I got my way with only making one meal though :)  She is a good cook!  I boiled the pasta and cut peppers.

This weekend is going to be pretty boring!  Not much going on tonight, having my mom come over on Saturday and going to the Casino to play bingo.  Yup now that's the boring weekend of a thirty something :)

Celebrity Death Watch

+10, V

Good Morning :)

Well today is no different than any other day.  I get to work and quickly check my favourites, The shopping channel, TMZ because I am on the celebrity death watch of Zsa zsa Gabour.  No... I am not weird or anything, I just like to keep up on my celebrity news.  Speaking of which, Charlie Sheen has been pretty darn quiet these days.  It's really to bad!  I thought he was going to have a head shaving moment like Britney.

Anyway, this morning while checking my hotmail I went to my junkmail folder only to find some great spam such as, Penis Growth Free trials - Grow a long and hard one today, Sample mens supplement - Your love tool is set to thrill and last but not least, Enlarge with sample - she revealed herself to me.  I really think the spam senders should take it up a notch and try to send gender specific spam.

Well, last night was Tuesday and that means I usually have my friend (CC) come over but this week she is site seeing and shopping in the states.  with not much else to do I watched some PVR'd episodes of Chelsea Lately.  I honestly forgot how great her show is.  I know, I know (CS) you are probably freaking out because you tried to get me to watch this show forever.  It was always on way to late for this thirty something so know that I have a PVR there is no limits on what I can watch.

Not too much planned for this weekend, I really need to take it easy and not drink so much so I have decided to have my mother come in and visit.  Here is a little insight to how old I really am.... We are most likely going to go to the casino and play bingo on Saturday night. 

Yes, this could be a huge reason as to why I am still single!

We did circuit training at boot camp lat night. I'm right handed and my left arm is notably weaker than my right arm. I'd never really noticed that until I was asked to do identical exercises on each side. I feel a little silly saying it but after only 4 sessions I actually feel stronger.

This Friday is shaping up to be hilarious. My friend is having a Richard Simmon's themed club night. Ever been to a club dressed up in fluorescent Lycra while everyone else is dressed to impress? It's awesome.

No new news about TB (texting boy...is that what I named him?...well, it's what he is now). I guess I'm waiting for him to initiate some sort of real life contact...we've never even met.

Tonight is V and my cooking date...hopefully we don't burn down her building.

The Busy Blogger

+10,V
Hey everyone, so sorry for not blogging last week.  I was sick on Monday and wasn't at work... No really, I was not well and a good friend of mine (C) came by and brought me some medicine, fruit and soup.  I really appreciated that.  I was actually already sick on Sunday.  By Monday night I felt much better and had to catch up for the missing day on Tuesday.  Everyday after that just seemed to be as busy and then the next thing I know it was Friday.

So let's start out with last weekend March 18 - 19.  On Friday I went home after work and relaxed for a while.  My friend (A) came by and picked me up and I ended up staying over the night and drinking an entire bottle of home made wine that night.  Thank you my married friends (K&T)  It was so delicious and over the entire night but OUCH did I pay for it the next day.  You really need to hydrate regularly if you go on a wine binge.

Saturday was another fun night in which I was in the company of quite a few ++10's.  I have to say that I think those women are crazy!!! I was worried about what was going to happen to me in another 10 years but after going to that garage party on Saturday and seeing those ladies in action, I have nothing to worry about. 

Okay, like I said the week after that at work was really busy.  Now for this weekend March 25 - 27.

Went to a hockey game on Friday, went out for drinks after and then finally made it home around 1:30 a.m.  Saturday was a social where the only booze left at midnight was rye.  I really think I better stop drinking so much.  I think I really have to take it easy this upcoming weekend.

Starting today, I have decided I am going to eat much healthier.  I actually made this decision last week and made sure to eat a bunch or terrible food this weekend as it will be a while before I eat it again like that.  Let's hope it works.  I am not following a specific plan at this point but am going with the old eat more fruits and veggies, lean meats and little carbs.  If I can't seem to make it work and get nowhere then I will end up signing up for a more disciplined plan.

So far day one is a 6" turkey sub on whole wheat with a side of carrots and strawberries.  I know this is not a lot of food so far but I have a lot of other veggies planned for tonight with my dinner.

Friday night I went out with some girls. One of my roommates texted me to say that she had interesting news for me... she told me that a guy from her work was interested in me. Bottom line is that he doesn't know me at all, but she was talking about me blah blah blah.

So, when her and I and some other people went out later that night I was persuaded (though it didn't take much) to send him a text (he had given my roommate his number to give to me...). No response that evening. burn. I looked him up on facebook and I seriously love open profiles. They're awesome.

Saturday I slept in late and early afternoon I got a RESPONSE! He apologized for not texting back the night before but explained that he had to work early blah blah blah. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. TB (Texting Boy, I'll call him) and I kept up the text conversation from early afternoon to early morning. My day was filled with cooking and reading and going to a party, but we were texting back-and-forth all that time. We'll see if this leads anywhere. I was explaining all this to a friend of mine and she asked to see his fb profile and I signed on and he'd requested me as a friend.

We'll see how that all goes.

Boot camp is going well so far...I'm guessing tonight will be painful again, but it's a good kind of pain.

Coming Soon: V and I are cooking together this Wednesday -- should lead to a fun post
