Friday!!
Well, hello, it's been a while.
Let's see...the boss is on maternity and our new temporary boss is...interesting.
I am completely stressed out from picking up the slack while he is still learning
our system and procedures...I am tempted to take my night guard to work. The fun
thing is that I am typing this on my new toy! Heh...for my birthday in October I was able
to get myself a new iTouch (that's what I call them). It is so much fun to play with!!

In one month I get to have early Christmas in Vancouver! Sushi here I come!!!
I am still climbing and it's going well. I need to find more changelling things to do..
Climbing is exhilarating,especially getting to the top without a rope. I need to post more videos.
Homewise...not much is new....still need a couch that'll seat more than 3. Still need a coffee table and
nightstands....

Not much else is new...:)

It's October. OCTOBER! Month 10 of 2009!
I only panic because time seems to speed by so fast. (My mom has also added that as you get older time flies faster...)

What has happened lately?
Well, the TV died last Saturday and we bought one on Sunday and it was delivered last Wednesday! So that is 4 days without a TV....which weren't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I felt kind of free...like I had time to do whatever I wanted.

And the TiVO kept taping all the time....

Today was the first Saturday where I didn't have set schedule..(my usual and perfect Saturday consists of going to the market, cleaning, going for a walk and getting a latte and then making dinner) but THIS Saturday, I didn't go to the market or clean...we went to Home Depot and bought some house stuff, then sat around and watched She-Ra and then made dinner.

I felt a little off since I usually like my Saturday schedule, but this was a good change for me...

Heh...oh a little background...I like schedules. I like planning. I like planning my days, my dinner, my weekends and sometimes I break out of those plans to see if I can handle it. It's my little quirk that I test every once in a while to see if I can go with the flow. (Perhaps to the internets that sounds crazy or boring or whatever but I like knowing that thing about myself.)


Anywway the night is pretty much set up to watch the shows on the TiVO that were missed while the TV was down.
Then tomorrow, hopefully a day of climbing.

Sep. 7th, 2009 @ 11:58 am EBM Fest
Current Mood: nostalgic
EBM Fest was on last night in Toronto. Bands playing were, Urceus Exit, Individual Totem, Iris, Apoptygma Berzerk and Encephalon.

What made this night special was that I FINALLY got to see Apoptygma Berzerk. Ever since the late 90's, I have had 3 bands I HAD to see! Covenant, VNV Nation and Apoptygma Berzerk. In the late 90's I had seen Covenant and VNV Nation fairly quickly....but Apoptygma Berzerk never quite made it to Canada..at least not to Toronto or not at a time when I could go see them. SO FINALLY! I got to see them last night. The triumverate (is that a word?) is complete! AND thrown in for a bonus I got to see Individual Totem, which is another band that is still managing to release good music after all the others have dwindled.

The night was even more special because almost all the people that I used to club with were at EBM Fest! So it felt like the old times, clubbing with the friends, staying up too late...sigh.
We made it home at around 3 am and I managed to wake up at 10:30 without a headache! Yay!

Anyway, one more week and it's TIFF! (Toronto International Film Festival). I wonder if I'll get to see any movie stars. We're going at weird times. The film festival opens Sept 11 and our first movie is Sun. Sept 13, then 2 on Thurs. Sept 17, and 2 more on Sat. Sept 19 (which is the last day of the festival). I'm torn between going to Toronto on the first weekend of the festival or going climbing (yes, I started climbing and I've torn up my hands pretty good!)

I saw District 9 last Friday. Besides Julie and Julia, that is the best movie I've seen in theatres, this year.

(Although I can't remember previous movies of this year...which means they weren't good enough to stick in my brain)...

District 9 just totally blew me away. It was so many good things rolled into a 1 hour 52 minutes movie!

The great Big Mac attack of 2009.

I had my yearly Big Mac, fries and Coke dinner today, before going to see The Hangover. (I felt hungover). The movie was funny! My crush on Bradley Cooper is getting bigger. Too bad Michael Vartan outshone you in Alias or else it would've started years ago.

Summer is quickly approaching...I have it in mind to enjoy it as much as I can this year, because it flies by so fast!
Work just seems to whiz by and then I'm at home thinking on how to fill the rest of the time before going back to sleep for another day!

I have bought a hoola hoooop weeks ago and finally got the hang of it on Sunday! I can hula hoop for minutes....my next trick is to make it travel up and down my body and then to get more so I can do multiple hoop tricks! THEN JOIN THE CIRCUS! (pant, pant)


This weekend will be enjoyed thoroughly! The plan for Saturday is to go to husband's step-uncle's farm for a late lunch (his step cousin's will be in town for that weekend). It's near Creemore.

Then Sunday is gym time! Then weeding! (Booh....so many weeds). Then baking some pretzels! Oh Mr. Alton Brown, you and your (hopefully) delicious baked goods.

Jun. 8th, 2009 @ 10:23 am 1st Anniversary
Current Location: Work!
Current Mood: thoughtful
Sunday, June 7, 2009 was our first wedding anniversary.

Here is what I did to celebrate:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/31645728@N00/

(I got into the dress again).

(sigh) I sigh whenever I look at that dress. I feel like such a Disney princess in it. In fact, I'm playing with the idea of being a Disney princess on Hallowe-en and wearing it again!

I haven't posted in such a long time....let's see....this year we started landscaping the yard. That involved weeding for 3 weeks, planting for 3 weekends in a row and now I'm on weed patrol. Since there is no grass in the yard (it pretty much looks like a forest) there is a lot of opportunity for weeds to grow and unless I check and rips them out every week, it will look like no work has been done in the yard. The front is finished, with a new serviceberry tree to replace a Norway maple. All the plants we have (except for a couple) are native, so they'll be able to survive the weather conditions and in a couple of years, (cross your fingers) we should have a wonderful native paradise of groundcover and flowers.

You Are a Bengal Cat



You look wild, but deep down, you're really quite sweet.

You are curious about the world around you, and you love to explore.



You liked to swim and climb trees as a kid... and probably still do!

You are confident and energetic. You are ready to take on the world.

Jan. 5th, 2009 @ 08:06 pm 1, 2, 3, Nights of Bad Sleep Make Me Super Hyper-Tired
Current Mood: tired
If I'm not dreaming of being pregnant or suspecting of being pregnant but waking up before I find out the results, I'm twisting in bed paralyzed by fear of ceasing to exist.

The thought process:
I'm 31..I'm getting older, it's not going to stop. I'll keep getting older until one day I'll die. I'll cease to exist...blackness...end of my existence. How many years away is the end of my existence? (start hyperventilating) There can't just be total blackness, I mean total, not-existing, end of everything ending?

Hyperventilating now...
This has been consuming me for the last week or so. Which might be the result of:

a) too much time off = too much time to think
b) I want to continue existing = pass on my genes = have children
c) the filter in my head protecting me from these thoughts is broken (ie: broken filter causing you to not want to do anything anymore because what's the point? You're just going to stop existing!)

(huff, huff)

Sigh.

So that's why I haven't been able to sleep at night.


Happy 2009!

It's 2009!
Any resolutions? Anyone, anyone?

I've decided this year I'm going to set some pretty easy, specific ones.

1. Going up the CN Tower. Yep, I've never gone to the observation deck or up the CN Tower...at least I don't remember it. I want to go up in that elevator, onto that glass floor and hopefully with deep, deep concentration I won't vomit on anyone.

2. Take belly dancing classes. My yoga teacher had a baby girl in December so she's on maternity leave for a while, which means I need to do something besides weights at the gym.

3. The standard, improve my life in other ways: clean the closet, donate more things, reduce, reduce, reduce.

I'm at home with a headache (since yesterday), eating chocolate ginger cupcakes, drinking coffee and watching The O.C.

I love The O.C. Sigh. I lament the loss of good shows on television.
There used to be good, engaging shows on TV and now there's poop. Somehow, there's poop but I still manage to waste way too many hours watching that poop.

Ouch. My head.
Our contractor should be started on our bathroom soon. I should do some before photos.

Sep. 22nd, 2008 @ 09:55 pm I hate flying.
Current Location: Langley, B.C.
Current Mood: grumpy
I hate flying.
I absolutely dread it.
It never used to be this bad but today's flight finally got to me.
First it took 1.5 hours to get to the airport. The plane was delayed 40 minutes, there was minor turbulence before landing in Edmonton which made me very nauseous and I had a connecting flight from there to Abbotsford 30 minutes after landing which did nothing to settle my stomach. And I always get bad headaches. I was nauseous the whole flight and almost threw up while we were landing. Like, seriously tasting the throw up feeling, while body getting clammy, headache dissipating (as it always does before I throw up). I was clutching my throw up bag, praying not to throw up. The only small consolation was that I was in a row by myself.

We landed. I get my rental car...the minute I open the door, throw up wants to happen, because it smells like a new car. New car smell almost always makes me want to throw up. It's also a crappy car...a Subaru Tribeca. I am not a fan. It also doesn't have an iPOD adaptor.

So then I use my best friend's GPS thing to get me to the hotel, even though I had a really simple map and the stupid, piece of shit takes me through the fucking countryside AND residential areas so I end up being 1 hour late (it should have taken about 27 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport).

GR!
Anyway, I ate some bad sushi, had some weird plum bubble tea and am now really dying for a shower. Magellan GPS also tried to take me down a one way street while I was plotting my route to work.

Ugh.
Tomorrow should be better. Wednesday...will suck. I will work at 6 am to 2:30 pm and then go back from midnight to 9 am. Thursday will be pass out day.

Friday I fly home. I am seriously considering getting something to knock me out. It seems the older I get the less I can tolerate certain things and flying is one of them.

I just hope I can get really nicely caffeinated while I'm here.

Oy. I haven't written in a long time.

Well....yesterday night I felt ill and it's carried over to today. I have a leftover headache and I'm watching a Bollywood movie with Aishwarya Rai called 'Dil Ka Rishta'. It's sad, hilarious, dramatic, long and gorgeous at the same time. I figured out how they make Aishwarya look attractive in every scene: Wind.machine. Somehow wind is blowing in every scene she's in, even if it's inside. The only times it's not blowing is when she's in a dramatic scene.
Now where can I get me one of those?


This season my allergies have been extra brutal. I forgot how bad they can get since I haven't had them this bad in years.

I'm hoping to have the bathroom rennovations started in October. It only took, what since May? Oh well, at least the money's been building up for that over the time.

I needs me some cappuccino.

Next Sunday I get to do the Terry Fox Run. Yay!
