I don't have any exciting weekend stories to blab about as I stayed in as much as possible. I needed a weekend to relax and rejuvenate, catch up on my reading and of course TV watching (shhhh don't judge). I'm starting to realize......well let me rephrase that.....I'm finally admitting that I clearly watch wayyyyyyy too much TV. Hours upon hours of useless shit that makes me laugh (which is good) and/or say bye bye to much needed braincells (not so good) depending on the show.

I did see an interesting program on The Fifth Estate regarding Insite which is the first legal safe injection site in North America. I am all for needle exchange programs however this place is the cream of the crop. I remember reading about it years ago when they first opened up and thought it was a great idea back then. I mean the reality is people are going to do drugs so why not give them a safe environment to do so. Addicts can bring in their drugs and shoot up in sterilized booths. They have access to all the works (clean needles, sterilized water, citric acid to cut the drugs) and medical staff are on site as well in case anything goes awry (IE an overdose) or the person wants some medical information. There are counsellors available as well as a detox and rehab program upstairs if a person so chooses to go that route. The staff are non judgemental and actually make the people feel like human beings.

I don't understand the big hullabaloo from people who oppose such places. Why don't you want a safe place for people to dispose of their syringes? Would you rather they be strewn across the sidewalk or street where you walk?? Would you rather the person shoot up in front of your son or daughter in the street? Is it better to give out clean needles or would you rather people share them thus increasing the risk of spreading disease??? Needles are to be used one time and one time only, when people need a fix they will use the same needle countless times if they have no other choice. This leads to barbing and jagged edges which leads to ripped skin and open sores/abscess' and of course terrible infections.

I don't understand why anyone would think a place such as Insite is bad, I really don't get it. As I said people are going to shoot drugs intravenously regardless of what anyone says, so let's treat them with respect and dignity and try to keep them as safe as possible. You have to remember that as well as being addicts they are people too. They are daughters or sisters or mothers, fathers and they are just as human as you or I.

On a completely different note I was driving the other day and noticed two young girls crouched near the side of a very busy street over what appeared to be roadkill. I continued to drive however my conscience got the better of me and I circled around to see if they needed any help. Well it turns out a cute little squirrel had it's legs smushed by a car however the poor thing was still alive. I called the Humane Society and told the girls I would wait until they arrived. So there I found myself standing over the squirrel, crouching down and talking to the squirrel (for comfort of course) and eventually kneeling on the road beside the squirrel to ensure it would not take another hit ( I understand another hit would have put him/her out of misery however I just couldn't possibly bear the thought). Poor thing was terrified; whenever someone walked by on the sidewalk its head would pop up and it would try to drag itself away which for obvious reasons was next to impossible. The animal control guy arrived about 20 mins later and of course had to euthanize the little doll. I kept it together until he mentioned the inevitable then I started to cry, but I cried alone as I walked to my car so the man would not see. It just made me really sad.......

Awwww Moz you did it again!!! J'taime!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have kept this one article from the newspaper in my desk for a few months now. Whenever I’m having a bad day at work I pull that little piece of paper out and read away. It makes me laugh every time as I can just picture the scene unfolding, enjoy!

“Police are investigating after a man went on a bizarre rampage at a car dealership. A man allegedly used his pickup truck as a battering ram, smashing into five parked vehicles before driving the truck through the entrance of a Volkswagen dealership. Regional police say the man then started urinating on parked vehicles before returning to his truck, grabbing a bottle of champagne and a glass and climbing onto the roof.
_____ was charged with mischief over $5000 and committing an indecent act.”


A recent favorite:

“Police say horns started honking as a sport-utility vehicle sat through six red lights at a south central PA intersection. Officers arrived to investigate the SUV that seemed to be parked in the intersection and found the driver asleep at the wheel with his foot on the brake and a beer in the console. Officers had to yell to wake the man, then had to quickly halt the vehicle when his foot came off the brake and it drifted into the intersection. The 41 year old was charged with driving under the influence.”

Of course drinking and driving is never a laughing matter but the article put a smile on my face regardless.

I was out this weekend for a friends birthday and of course brought my camera to capture the good times. M and I decide to take these ridiculous pictures beside a photo hanging on the washroom door. It's of this very old Ukrainian looking woman wearing a babushka so of course M and I pretend to kiss the photo......only my half of the picture looks like I'm actually kissing the woman and apparently there is some questionable cruddy stuff on parts of the photo. Perhaps others had the same idea??? Ewe!!


Anyway we decide to take some more photos in the cab on the way home of us looking super hot after hours of being out. Sarcasm anyone.....


In the morning we realize that my camera is MIA and begin to frantically call the various places we had been the previous evening. I didn't care so much about losing the camera I just didn't want some weirdo to have access to my 500 ridiculous photos and then find some bizarre myspace page full of my face.


Eventually we get a hold of the cab company and voila, my camera has been turned in. Yay!!! I head to the office to retrieve my goods and before I can say a word the man at the desk says "Oh good they sent the hot one" and starts laughing. Apparently these folks decided to take a gander at all of the photos on the memory card. There was nothing bad on there, embarrassing yes, but not bad (which apparently they see all of the time as the guy said that cell phones have super dirty stuff on them). After my face went back to it's normal colour I thanked them and got the heck outta there. Note to self, delete, delete, delete after uploading photos!

I had to interview a new client at work recently which is a normal part of my job. So in the guy walks all confident and smooth, you can tell he thinks he's wonderful and down he sits. He pulls his chair rather close to mine which I find odd as I enjoy my personal space and do not enjoy people reading over my shoulder.

So we're talking and he's asking me all these ridiculous questions and then points to a picture on my bookshelf quite far behind both of us. "Are you in that picture?" to which I answer "Yes" and try to continue our interview. "Mmmm you look real good in it, " in my head I'm thinking EWE! I try to ignore him and continue on with my job when I think he says something along the lines of "you're hot" which he whispers under his breath. My face of course turns a million shades of red ( I blush like crazy) and I turn my head to make a phone call as I'm not 100% sure that he's said this so I don't want to confront him (though it really really sounds like it).

I get out of my chair as soon as we're finished the appointment and he lingers on, asking more questions and seems a little disappointed that he has to leave. He then gets up, walks all the way over to my shelf, takes a good look at the photo and again says "Mmmmm you look real good in that picture" however I'm already half way down the hall trying to get him the hell out of my office.

What the fuck is wrong with people??? I would never in a million years say such things to any professional that I'm dealing with regardless of whether they were hot or not.

If he does this again at least I will be better prepared. When I turn red I'll mention that it's because I'm livid rather than embarrassed and rip him a new one for being so inappropriate. "Are you fucking kidding me? Is my face red? It's not because I'm embarassed It's because I'm pissed off....." Something along those lines should do it!

I must say last week I did in fact feel exactly like the statue. I'd rather not go into details but I got some shitty news and spent a good part of the week in tears. Life will do that to you ........

What better way to cheer up than to spend a weekend with great friends, good food and lots of drinks. I did just that and had a fabulous time. Perhaps too much of a good time......I have a rather large bruise on my knee to prove it! It's extremely sore, very swollen and takes up my entire knee cap. The floor was slippery I swear.

I ate like a pig, drank like a fish and did not keep my lips to myself. It's all about sharing right! I didn't share too much though as one young man suggested a hotel that rents by the hour hmmmmm noooooo thanks! Anyway, I really enjoyed the music on Saturday evening ( a little blurb from the DJs myspace page)

"CHRONOLOGIC is a dance party held every so often at The Boat - The Goin' Steady DJs play the absolute best dance tracks from every era - beat music from the 1940s to 2009 - played in chronological order ---- unexpect the accepted except exceptional exceptions & DANCE! Pop and Antipop from Since the End of History "

It was so much fun dancing to C & C Music Factory and Run DMC. Jennifer and I arrived during the 80's segment as we had a bit of an issue with our cab driver, quite possibly the dumbest man on the face of the earth. I thought that surely one of us was going to lose it and start yelling at him but we refrained.

It was my special weekend (actually week as it's continuing on into the coming weekend) and I had a really great time! I was able to forget about the crappy news and let loose. I came home and had a wonderful dinner with my family and some close friends and I felt really really lucky to have such amazing people in my life.

I think I've become a little bit boring as it seems most of my weekends are filled with TV and books. It's like I've realized I'm a bit too old and/or too lazy to get ready for a night on the town and would rather cuddle up under my covers and veg. I never thought the day would come........



I've also been trying to knock some of the books off of my goal list and have set a side goal of reading one book a week. By the time I drive home from work, go to the gym, have dinner and finally have a chance to relax it's well after 8pm and I'm pooched. Going out doesn't even cross my mind.

I also met with a trainer at the gym for a free consultation this weekend. Don't ask me why I even signed up for this.....I saw the form, figured what the hell it's normally a $99 assessment and wrote my name in ink. Well, doesn't he call a week later. So on Saturday after my E test & licence renewal (what happened to sleeping in on the weekend, who the fuck makes appointments at 9 AM??) I went to the gym for my assessment. It was painless but rather long, over an hour and basically consisted of him asking me a million questions and then going back and pointing out things like "you said time was an issue for you, however you just said you live 5 minutes away from the gym...explain." I was however happy to see my BMI down even further and the number on the scale a few pounds lighter than I had thought. Of course the whole point of this was for him to mention personal training blah blah blah. He wasn't pushy which I liked and it did make me stop and think a little bit. I mean, I've been going to the gym for 6 years now and yes I've lost some weight and yes I'm in much better shape than previously but really after 6 years I should have a kick ass body, clearly I have no idea what I'm doing training wise. I could be wasting much less of my time if I actually had a knowledgeable person there by my side guiding me. So we'll see....



Totally off topic, I'm heading to Vegas again in a few months and just had a few questions. Have any of you been to the Grand Canyon and if so was it via a helicopter or foot?? I'm debating about doing one of those day hikes and would like some input, best way to get there etc. I know people who have done the helicopter tours but I was kind of hoping to spend more time there and actually walk around for a few hours so I'm not sure I want to pay $550 for a half an hour in the canyon.



As well, I'd like to see a Cirque show and had my mind set on O up until last year. Two men I had met on the plane had plans to see both O and Love and when I saw them again on the plane home, they said that Love blew O out of the water (tee hee). Any thoughts for those who have seen a Cirque show there?

The movies:

1. Almost Famous
2. Nightmare Before Christmas
3. 16 Candles
4. Stand by Me
5. Usual Suspects
6. Life of David Gale
7. Joy Luck Club
8. Trainspotting
9. Goodfellas
10. American Beauty
11. Boy in the Stripped PJ's
12. Kill Bill Vol 1
13. Gone With the Wind
14. The Last Unicorn

I figured #6, #7 (shout out to Rawbean) #11 and #14 might be a bit more difficult (how many of you have actually seen The Last Unicorn?) but come on the Trainspotting one....love that line when Spud is in the interview!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do...........

Seriously what the fuck is going on around here, I feel like I'm in South Central LA. I was driving to a friends after work and was slowed down by all of the rubber neckers checking out .... well I'm not sure what because I wasn't looking however I did see 4 cop cars and an ambulance coming to the assistance of somebody.

I picked up my friend and we went for dinner to this Indian restaurant not far from her place. A side story: I was facing the door and for our entire hour long meal I watched this older gentleman wander around aimlessly. First he went upstairs, then he came back down, he went out for a smoke then he came back in and went around the corner. Not but 10 minutes later he was walking towards the door with another smoke in his mouth (which I think he lit in the doorway as the restaurant reeked of smoke after that). He came back in, wandered upstairs again.....this went on forever!

My friend said she had to people watch as a school assignment years ago and it was really interesting to see what was going on around her as we're usually so enthralled in our own conversations etc. She saw kids rolling joints under the table of a restaurant, a couple fighting and a man picking his nose and examining his treasure, EWE!!!

Anyway back to the story, so we leave the restaurant and walk to the car and not but a block away are about 7 cruisers and police tape surrounding a corner store. Me thinks they got robbed just steps away from where we were enjoying our dinner.

I drive her home and head up to another friends house and yet again see flashing red and blue lights up ahead. This time there were cops all over The Keg parking lot........no idea what was going on as I hopped on the highway and booted it to safety. I stayed in for the remainder of the evening.

Try to stay safe and have a great weekend everyone!!

Below are quotes from some of my favorite movies. You my lovely readers must tell me which movies they come from....no cheating and please I've practically given a few away :)

1. Look - you should be happy for me. You don't know what he says to me in private. Maybe it is love - as much as it can be...

2. You've poisoned me for the last time, you wretched girl!

3. God, I hope whoever got that note doesn't know it was me who wrote it. I'd shit twice and die.

4. If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy, Pez, cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it.

5. Give me the fucking keys, you fucking cocksucking motherfucker, aaarrrghh

6. I'm no more afraid of the Grim Reaper than I am of a Presbyterian on Mother's Day.

7. Where are my grandsons, huh? My son says he's planted enough seeds in you to fill a basket, plenty for ten thousand grandsons! It's all your fault, always running around, letting my son's seeds spill out. From now on you lie in bed all day. Lie down! Lie down! Until my grandson comes! Do you hear me? Disgusting little thing!

8. In a word: pleasure. It's like, my pleasure in other people's leisure.

9. Whenever we needed money, we'd rob the airport. To us, it was better than Citibank.

10. Oh, yeah, and one more thing, from now on we're going to have alternate dinner music because frankly - and I don't think I'm alone here, I'm tired of this Lawrence Welk shit!

11. Why do you wear pajamas all day?
The soldiers. They took all our clothes away.
My dad's a soldier, but not the sort that takes people's clothes away.

12. Do you find me sadistic? You know, I bet I could fry an egg on your head right now, if I wanted to. You know, Kiddo, I'd like to believe that you're aware enough even now to know that there's nothing sadistic in my actions. Well, maybe towards those other... jokers, but not you. No Kiddo, at this moment, this is me at my most masochistic.

13. I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'll never understand or forgive myself. And if a bullet gets me, so help me, I'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. There's one thing I do know... and that is that I love you.......

14. Oh, she'll kill me one day or another. But she will remember forever that I caught her, and I held her prisoner. So there's my immortality, eh?

So Big Ben suggested that us single bloggers try using some type of online dating sites. Hahahahahaahhaha!!! Sorry for the outburst, anyway, I just so happened to get a spam email a few days later outlining a "free weekend" with such a site and figured what the hell I'll give it a go. By give it a go I mean fill out the silly questionnaire and then do nothing else about it! I'm not paying $60 a month to talk to creepy strangers.

Being the free weekend and all I did peruse the "matches" they found for me and saw a few that piqued my interest however, not being a subscriber I am not able to view their photos......no thanks! I'm not a super shallow person however shallow enough that I'm not about to start talking to the hunchback of Notre Dame because he likes animals!

Perhaps next time there is a free weekend I will have the guts to send an icebreaker to a man sans photo but until then I'll keep looking in the real world for my prince charming.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have a great weekend everyone! I plan to stay in and read a lot, load up my Ipod and just relax. I've been super sick this past week......again......seriously folks I have two prescriptions....two!! I do feel a thousand times better so I really can't complain. Anyway, get out there and have some fun!!

I was commenting on Scotts blog recently and went to look up an old concert ticket to find the name of the venue where Bowie played as it has since changed (I lost the ticket stub unfortunately but he played the Warehouse which is now the Koolhaus). It was quite nostalgic looking through the album full of old concert stubs as well as surprising to see how the cost of each ticket has changed significantly over the years.

I don't recall if my first concert was New Kids on The Block or Nelson but bless my poor mother for trekking along to such shows just to make me happy. I was far too young to go on my own and needed someone to accompany me. Nelson played at an amusement park so at least she got some fun out of the deal; that was in 1991 and I was 13 years old. The ticket cost $9.36 plus park admission. Thankfully my taste improved (or so I think Ha!) and the following year I believe it was 1992 (I lost the ticket stub) I saw The Cure at the Skydome with Sly sans parents and we had a blast! We were seated beside these women in long floral dresses who sat through the entire show looking bored and angry. They kept yelling at us to "sit down" while we danced and sang along to each song. Of course we didn't listen.......we were at a concert not sunday school.

I have seen many artists perform more than once and don't mind paying an arm and a leg to see them again and again. There is nothing like hearing my man Trent belt out "Something I can Never Have" live......shivers people, I get shivers.

So to follow, a list of the stubs I have kept (or should have kept) over the years and a few stories to go along with them (Sorry about these silly lines I could not for the life of me get the year and cost to stay in nice little tabbed spaces)

Nelson ------------------------1991 ----------------$9.36
Tea Party ---------------------early 90's on--------------

(This sexy photo was one of those self portraits of sorts and not very flattering at all).

My 1st Tea Party show was inside PPs school gym in the early 90's. I went on to see them play all over the bloody place and am embarassed to even think about how many times I have actually seen them. Go ahead Jennifer make your Captain Morgan and pomade jokes I don't mind. All of you go ahead and have a good chuckle but just know I was tickled when I was able to party with Mr. Jeff Martin a few years back!!

Depeche Mode---------------1993--------------- $36.00 (9th row yay!!)
Madonna ----------------------1993 ----------------$38.50
Depeche Mode --------------1994 ----------------$17.04 (Plus park admission)
Pink Floyd --------------------1994 ----------------$42.00
Rolling Stones ---------------1994 ----------------$54.50
NIN ------------------------------1994 -----------------$29.75

Jim Rose Sideshow and Marilyn Manson both opened up for NIN that day. Sly and I had seats up in the bowl area and a few of her friends had some general admission floor tickets. During the concert Sly walked down the seats in front of us and disappeared into the crowd. She returned a while later with two floor tickets and one bracelet. We left our seats, showed security our floor tickets and when they asked to see our bracelets she grabbed my arm and yelled "RUN." You see we each needed a ticket and a bracelet to enter the floor area however she was only able to get one bracelet from her friend. We ran like hell into the crowd and security lost us!!

Cranberries ---------------1995 -------------------$31.50
Our Lady Peace ---------1995 -------------------$6.00 (at a bar)
David Bowie ---------------1995 -------------------$39.50 (with NIN)
Sex Pistols ----------------1996 ------------------$43.00

We were on the floor for this concert, general admission. All I remember is a group of young men with mohawks, chains, pins everywhere standing in a circle holding one another and singing a song. During the song they all spit into the middle of the circle however I was standing quite close by and got a goober in my ear!! EWE!!! The bloke was very apologetic but it was still disgusting!

Tori Amos -----------------1996 ------------------$22.50
Smashing Pumpkins ---1996 ------------------$34.30
Danzig ---------------------1997 ------------------$24.50
Radiohead -----------------1997 ------------------$31.50

Radiohead played at a very small venue called the Opera House which used to be a Vaudeville theatre way back in the day. They put on an amazing live show and I ran into Jeff Martin (from the Tea Party) in the bathroom area and gave him a big ole hug. It would have been nice to snuggle up to Thom Yorke as well but sadly that did not happen.

Prince ---------------------1997 ------------------$65.00

I've always been a big fan of Prince but never found him to be particularly attractive until I saw him live. Holy shit did he surprise me! The way he sauntered across the stage and gyrated his hips caught my attention! He is soooo unbelievably sexy when he dances!

David Bowie --------------1997 -------------------I lost my stub :(

Bowie played at The Warehouse which holds approximately 2500 people. It was a very small and very intimate show. He engaged the audience like no other artist I have ever seen, he sounded phenomenal, laughed a lot and was just so friendly and captivating. I'd have to say this is one of my favorite shows ever as it was just so personal and he really made the show special.

Depeche Mode ----------1998 ---------------------$54.75
Korn/Rob Zombie -------1999 ---------------------$41.75
Rage Against the Machi--1999 ---------------------$35.75
Tori Amos ----------------1999 ---------------------won these tickets
Morrissey ----------------2000 ---------------------$46.25

I jumped on stage (as Morrissey allows his fans to do) and I walked towards him with my hands outstretched as he walked backwards away from me. Apparently I was making grabbing motions with my hands or so I've been told, the lovely Morrissey did eventually give in to a hug!

NIN ------------------------2000 ---------------------$39.50
The Cure -----------------2000 ---------------------$49.00
Dave Matthews Band --2000 ---------------------won these tickets

I won these tickets and agreed to take PP as she was a big DMB fan however I had no idea who they were. We were in the nosebleed section on a metal bench, it rained, she enjoyed herself and I did not love it at all.

Third Eye Blind --------2000 ----------------------won these tickets
A Perfect Circle --------2001 -----------------------$37.50
Sarah Slean ------------2002----------------------- $14.00
Lenny Kravitz ---------2002 -----------------------$73.25 (with Pink)
Sarah Slean ------------2002----------------------- $15.82
The Dandy Warhols --2003 -----------------------$21.00
Coldplay -----------------2003 -----------------------$35.75
Metallica -----------------2003 -----------------------$100.25 (with Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit)

A friend had an extra ticket to the Summer Sanitarium Tour and I do like Metallica so I agreed to go. While I enjoyed all of the peformances (especially Linkin Park) I was a bit distracted by all of the pyrotechnics going on during the other two pefromances. I really really hate fireworks and for whatever reason Limp Bizkit and Metallica really seem to enjoy them. I spent much of my time ducking and holding my ears through these two shows trying to avoid the fireballs of death.

Madonna --------------2004 ------------------------$318.50
The Cure --------------2004 ------------------------$69.25
NIN ---------------------2005 ------------------------$58.75
Depeche Mode ------2005 -------------------------$104.00 (8th row yay!!)
Theory of a Deadman--2005 -------------------------Free tickets
Depeche Mode -------2006 -------------------------$104.00
NIN ---------------------2006 -------------------------$72.75
John Mayer---------- 2007 --------------------------$82.50
The Killers----------- 2007 --------------------------$51.75
The Cure ------------ 2007 --------------------------$98.50
NIN -------------------2008------------------------- $69.50
Lenny Kravitz -------2008 -------------------------$79.50

We had great floor seats for the Lenny concert. He walked around the bottom of the stadium at the end of his show and I was able to reach out and touch his hot sweaty arm yummmmmm!!!! I was sooo fucking excited as he is on my list of the top 5 sexiest men alive!!!

Note: My first Depeche Mode concert 9th row cost me $36 and my Depeche Mode concert in 2005 8th row cost me $104. My how times have changed!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I absolutely love going to concerts I love to hear the music and I love to share the experience with other fans. When Sly was climbing down the chairs at the 1994 NIN concert, people were holding her hand and helping her down giving nods of approval. There's a sense of togetherness at live shows, I've had people come and sneak in beside me on the floor when I've had great seats and they have not. As long as I have enough room to dance I'm happy to share my space with someone who enjoys the band as much as myself. I've also been helped and have helped others climb over seats to get a closer view of the action, this type of thing would never fly anywhere else. Can you imagine someone climbing over you at a sporting event or budding in line at the grocery store without saying anything to them? At a concert it's different, there's a sense of camaraderie, everyone wants to have a good time and it's all about the music!!!

I have been out of the city most of the week however had one day left of my gym goal to complete. I belong to one of those cushy ( or so I thought ) big name gyms and am able to workout at any location I can find. So I woke up this morning and headed out for my last mandatory session to a location I had never been to.

I ended up at the most ghetto gym ever!!! It was tres tiny and the equipment appeared to be hand me downs circa 1982. You know how Vegas has the graveyard for the old lights....I think that this particular gym was the graveyard for old work out equipment. The treadmills......oh the treadmills......

1st of all they were these oddly shaped devices that had absolutely no front to them; basically a bar at belly button level holding the control panel, no front at all ( I felt like I was running on a cliff), no cup holders, the face of the controls completely scratched, not sturdy at all.....worst machines ever.

There were homemade signs everywhere: "DO NOT LEAN ON THE MIRROR," "DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON THIS SHELF IE WATER BOTTLES, JACKETS" I'm thinking, where the fuck am I supposed to put my water bottle when there are no holders and this shelf is conveniently behind my treadmill sans cup holder?

The bikes were dreadful as well.....only two options: Fat Burn or Cardio, there were no levels to choose from or a manual option only Fat Burn or Cardio that's it!

My favorite, the enormous TV's placed above the cardio equipment ( IE at any moment one could come crashing down on your head). Take note, these were placed above and not in front of the equipment as is most practical for everyone to view. Every TV was muted with closed caption typing away.......none of the machines had the TV link device to plug your headphones into.....you had to actually read the captioning if you wanted to know what was going on as there was no way to hear the audio.

Dreadful just dreadful!! I feel sorry for the people who actually have to attend this location on a regular basis. I don't understand how one could feel motivated in such a place. Clearly I've been spoiled with my usual location as it is a palace in comparison.

I was off on my timing, the gentleman I was talking about in my last post did in fact call to cancel his appointment however he called at 5:25 AM and not 4 AM as I had predicted! Clearly I'm not in the office at that time! Gotta love it!

Anyway this is going to be a short note I have a million things to do and will not be around too much this week. I'm starting my P90X workouts next week, so wish me luck!

I also bought myself the 8 G Ipod Nano in pretty pink and fell in love with the salesman. Seriously, LD and I both wanted to take him home and make him our friend. He was super flamboyant and funny and used words like "okey dokey" Loved him!!

The nano is actually a birthday present so I will have to wait until March to use it boooooo!!! I just picked up the one that I wanted, hot pink yo!

We met a lovely gentleman on the weekend as well who wears his PJ's to the bar. We've actually seen this guy around for years but after a few bevvies on the weekend I decided I wanted a photo of him. He was very friendly and gave us some homemade samosas that he brings to the bar for the bouncers and friends and also gave us some to bring home to J. I also found out that he is friends with Asian Patrick Swayze ..... I would like to ask him about this however am not sure my nickname for his friend will fly.....should I just say it???

Have a great week everyone!!! And Happy chocolate eating on Valentines Day!!!

I have spent the week dealing with a bunch of drama queens and quite frankly I no longer have the time nor the energy for such people. It absolutely baffles my mind how someone can move from crisis to crisis to crisis so on and so forth every single day of their life.

I have one coming in to see me tomorrow....oh wait....who am I kidding....I will have a message on my voicemail at 4 AM with some lame excuse as to why he will not be able to show. This dance will go on for the next few months, I'll waste my time and paper and postage trying to contact him of course to no avail.

I think somewhere somehow I lost my heart along the way.....oh your parents are divorcing, that's too bad, when are you coming to see me? Your dad is in the ICU, sorry to hear that, when are you coming to see me? Your 10th grandmother passed away....my condolences...here's your new appointment I'll see you then.

I have no doubt that many of these events did in fact happen but when it's one after another it gets to be a bit much. I'd have much more respect for someone if they were truthful. Tell me you're not coming to see me because you don't want to or you're not going to do what I ask, no problem but for the love of god just let me know so I don't waste my time chasing you. And don't call me at 1 AM when I'm clearly not in the office to answer my phone and say " I was hoping to catch you"

I do actually feel bad for these people in a way because all they really want is some attention. Unfortunately I am the last person that will give it to them as it's far too draining to engage in such conversations. Just do what I ask....or don't....but do not give me a million excuses as to why you can't.

I went bowling this past weekend for the 1st time in about 10 years. Is it possible to start off rather well and then get embarrassingly bad as the evening wears on.....of course it is!! I came in 2nd place during our first round and managed to barely scrape by in the 2nd game. My body felt like it had been hiking up hill for 10 days straight the following day. Strangely my upper body felt fabulous however my ass was absolutely killing me....still is! Perhaps it was my terrible technique that did me in....M likened my bowling style to Elaine's dancing on Seinfeld, uncoordinated and very jerky! Good times!


I've been noticing this one trainer at my gym lately, he's not super hot but I find him strangely attractive. He actually resembles Judd Nelson from The Breakfast Club. Anyway he looks fine in gym attire but the man has absolutely no fashion sense in the real world. I saw him saunter in one day wearing white pants, a white jacket and *cringe* a white fanny pack....seriously! I saw him again wearing white sweatpants, white fanny pack and a neon orange Oktoberfest hoodie jacket thing and moon boots. Oh my! I desperately wanted to take a photo.

When I was out on the weekend I saw this older gentleman dressed very well in a camel coloured suit, nice button down shirt, looked very sharp.....only problem and I kid you not, he looked like a neanderthal. He was hunched over with this perma stunned look on his face that never seemed to break. His friend had on an argyle shirt...I love argyle...these men were stylin.

Lastly, there was a photo of a lottery winner in the paper recently.....he had on green pants and a red jacket....his clothing was the first thing that I noticed. Someone pointed out that he was single *wink wink* and I said that that was obvious due to his attire! Before you think I'm a super bitch I must tell you that the reporter covering the story also made note of his clothing....so and so came to pick up his cheque wearing green pants and a red jacket.......

.....that made me laugh!!

Do you think it's possible to change a significant others attire/sense of style? I've never actually tried to do this....but for those of you that have....were you successful? I mean I can buy a guy who loves to wear Big Johnson Tshirts a button down....but I'd imagine the BJ Tshirts will still be in the closet taunting me.
