Happy Pumpkin Day!

Myspace Layouts

Cause I Heard Those Lame Damn Excuses Just Yesterday!

Sabi Yall! (sorry, Just listening to Black Eyed Peas-Shut Up)

• I am off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz. Ok well not really but I am off to see Saw 3 tomm with mz. aggie and mr. mattie. I sat down and watched the first two (finally -- thanks mz. aggie) and they were'nt too bad. I still say that Hostel was the worst horror movie I have seen. Saw is bearable (compared to Hostel)
  
• I got me hair cut...YAY! I love it. I've gotten so many compliments on it and I feel like i've lost like 20lbs (not really)
  
• Job interview is commin on Friday. Last week one of my supervisors comes into me office (not two hrs after i posted that one blog) that I should apply for the same job that I've already got the interview for. So now both of my supervisors are gonna help me as much as they can to coach me on the questions and stuff like that.
  
• I am finally cleaning up my home cpu and getting rid of a bunch of junk too.
  
• I went to shovel the walk (and driveway) yest. and I think i put too much strain on myself or worked some unknown muscles or something cause my back hurts (muscles--not where i can't move)

I think that's about it for now. I will post again tomm about saw 3 and the halloween thingy tomm.

Stupid modern advances

Today i'm going to vent. If ya don't wanna listen then leave now. (this just happened to plop into my head whilst at work, and i dunno why now of all times). I am not directing this towards anyone in particular either.

I've decided that I hate video games. Not for the fact that people like to play them and have fun and pass time and shit, but the fact that I have had two guys in my life decide to choose them over me. Its very frustrating when I want to go out or do something but all he wants to do is play and get this sorta entertainment outta some bloody non-existent thing. And then when he wants to go out or do something entertaining to him, I don't want to go or have anything to do with it, but then be made to feel like shit for not wanting to spend time with him. ARG!

Anyways, I think i'm gonna start re-evaluating my standards for men and stick to them. I let myself get off of the standards I had once built for myself so its time to get back on track. (I think this is now step 3 or 4 of the healing process)

Side note: I left my mp3 playa home today...AHHHHH!

Okies i'm done for now.

Don't really have any idea for a title

Ok so I have no idea what I should have titled this blog cause i just feel like rambling on today.

Job:

• I've gotten yet another extension this time up until the end of the year. ARG!
• I applied for that other records position (the more permanant one where I'd be on salary and get benefits) and I've got a job interview there on Friday Nov. 3, 2006. All I need now is two references (i'm gonna ask both of my supervisors) but i'd like to use either mz. maggie or mr. mattie if at all plausible. The job pays anywhere between 30,000 to 48,000 per year depending on experience. So, I'm already hoping that I get the job.

health:

• gym trips are keepin me active and healthy. (thanx to mz. maggie for the sweat towel and signing mz. grace up for spa lady even though she is a germ-a-phobic)
• haven't had any chest pains since being sick (and i'm not sick anymore...whoo hoo)

love life:

• all ties have been cut from mr. x-romeo. No more bank acc't, no more phone bills, etc. I still love and miss they guy to death but at least this much has been done to rid him outta my life. I still hurt like hell but i'm told that time heals wounds especially the broken hearted ones.
• met a nice guy via myspace. He lives in Kelowna, BC so I don't think i'll be "running into him" anytime soon.
• Mr. Justin has been txt msg'n me for a while now (yes i do reply). I wanna make one thing clear. I don't want anything from him. I'm not ready to move on with anyone and I'm not going back to things that used to be or could have been. He was a Jerk then and I don't expect him to have changed since. I deleted his number outta my phone so that I wouldn't tempt myself from going back to him. Anyways, he invited me out for a halloween thing but since i'd already made plans, he wants to make plans for next week, doing what? i dunno.

random:

• i'm excited and scared to see Saw 3 (I haven't seen the first two and had sworn off horrors)
• ran into mr. x-romeo's uncle (he works in the same building that I do) and invited me out to coffee (just like when x-romeo and I were dating)
• my lunch sucked today. I made a salmon salad sandwich and I ended up chewing on cartelage or bones or something that wasn't too pleasant in my mouth. (Yes you really needed to know that)
• looking forward to the Spa day with mz. maggie (and mz. grace) in December
• getting my hair cut tomm.....YAY. this mess on my head is getting outta control. I think i'm gonna go very short. I dunno how or what my hair will look like or have any ideas but its time to do something with this mess.

Its all been done...or is it?

Just when I think i've left all of my sevy troubles behind, I run into old customers reminding me of the whole ordeal that i'd like to forget about. I think i'm gonna go nuts. The last two days I had stopped into sevy levy to pick up one or two things and what-ya know it. There are all of these regulars that still go there that i've run into. ARG! Next thing I know: "how ya doin?" "haven't seen you working" "when do you work" "You take the bus up here, I thought you lived close by" "what happened to that other girl you used to work with here?" "how'z the studying? what are you taking in school again?". ACK! I knew that I should have stayed away from there. I hate goin in there just for that reason. But one major reason keeps me away from there: its this creapy kevin guy that kept on hitting on me all of the time (buys two players light regular and coke+diet coke, has a daughter who has twins, another daughter who used to work at DQ...remember him now? I know I don't wanna either) I had him on this idea that I got a job in Winnepeg and that I've left town 6mos ago. Hopefully I don't ever run into him again. Behn still thinks I work at Scotia downtown. But I let him know that i'm working at Royal Bank on Whyte. And he's always wanting an update on the rest of us on how we're doing and how our work is etc. Not that I don't wanna tell him or anything but I figure if Satnam ever found out that I lied to her, I don't think...well, I dunno what she'd think of me. So am I really out of there? With all of the bumping into regular customers everywhere, i don't think so. Its just a reminder of what I DON'T ever wanna go back to. ARG!

Opportunity arising?!?

So I thought I'd try out another colour today. It seemed like an ugly colour when I was choosing it but it looks alright to print in.

Its so boring here at work.

-We had a staff meeting yesterday and found out about the xmas partay and xmas lunch gathering. The party is not restricted to just my branch (consisting of 10 ppl) but the whole ministry (which is like many floors of ppl--i dunno how many of us). Its on Dec. 15th (dunno bout location yet) and its like $20-$25. I wanna attend it, so if anyone would like to be my escort please volunteer, I will be looking for someone to come with me later on as the date comes closer. I also found out that we're having a gift x-change here on the 22nd.

-I dunno whether I'll be staying here or not. My contract is up on Nov 1st, but the assistant executive director says that things are looking ok and that its expected that I won't be leaving so my fingers are crossed. I had applied for another job yesterday thinking that I may not be able to stay here. Its another records position. Its a lil better pay (i'd be on salary rather than wages) and get more of a workload. Not that I don't like it here, but its been 6 mos and i'm on wages (aka contract) with no benefits. Its been great getting the experience but I also want something long-term, that a bit more reliable. I had even thought about going back to school and picking up a trade, but I don't like the cold weather so it would be pointless.

-that other part-time job that I had applied for (to work in a flower shop), they haven't responded back to me. Not that i'm surprised or am anxiously waiting to hear from them. But I thought it would have been a great opportunity. So I am back to hunting for a part-time gig. Kudos to mz. maggie for trying to find stuff in the health industry for me. I've checked out a few postings on capitalheath.ca.

Mz. maggie, i missed out on Spa ball last night. I wanted to go but with my body sayin no I didn't. I think my body is up for a trip tomorrow if you still wanna go. And I checked the Yeller pages yesterday: the spa pkg's are kinda pricy. The ones that I checked online anyways. I think we might have to skip out on it this year and just get manicures.

I am getting better. I'm battling out this sickness and it started to lift yesterday. I've been told that I sound better and that i've got more colour and brightness in me (since this past weekend).

Damn you mr mattie. You weren't supposed to buy Scrubs season 4 yet. Oh well, what's done is done. Could I borrow it? I'd like to watch it.

I don't think i'll be handing out candies to the lil kiddies this year for halloween. Pops has gotta go into the hospital on the 31st, and with how excited my puppies get from ppl on the street (let alone comming to the door), i don't think its gonna be a great idea. I'll still dress up though, I love to look pretty in my costume.....time to dig out that angel costume.

I'm finally catching up on my soapies. I had like the whole summer's worth to watch (like 16 tapes) and now i'm down to like half of that. (The only thing that this sickness let me do whilst being quarantined to my basement).

I finished yet another book, He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt. And I tell ya, that book and the other one he wrote, Its Called a Breakup Because Its Broken, has inspired me to stand up and start kicking some dirt. I am feeling so much better about myself, and hope that the rest of this pain doesn't last for much longer. Its about time that I get back onto my own two feet and get back into the world of living and be happy about each day that passes. There's one quote that really inspired me from HJNTIY. its along the lines of: if he's really into you, no one or nothing would stop him from calling you. He'd see me as the bright spot in his day. He'd move mountains to be with me. So I just want to thank all of my friends for being so stubborn with me and helping me to see all the bad he was for me. I'm sure if he wanted me bad enough he'd change. Who knows maybe 5 years down the road he'll be back with a whole different personality or lifestyle that would better suit me. But I don't see that happening, he has had too many chances to prove himself and now its time for me to move on to bigger and better things.

I think I'm Jinxing Myself

So I think that I'm Jinxing myself. Ever since I put my wish list up everything seems to be showing up. So I am updating my list and here it is:

- Greg Behrendt's Uncool DVD (I just bought He's Just not that into you from anther lady at work and will be picking it up on Monday)

- Yoga Mat (I don't care if its a brand name or not nor do I care if you go to Lululemon to get it)

- I'm in need of a new boombox. I kinda like the one that mz. maggie has. although there is another guy at work selling a Panasonic SC-EN17 brand new for $75. The pic on the net looks pretty but i'm not too sure what stores ask for it. It seems reasonable but like I said I dunno.

- Spa Packages/contributions to spa packages for mz. Maggie and I

Just remember you don't have to satisfy every wish on this list. And I will be starting to plan a b-day/xmas event soon. It'll be held at an early date this year just because mz. maggie is leaving for two weeks.

That is all for now...toodles :P

Rip, Tear, Shred. Call it whatever you like.

Ok so today I feel like shit again. I think it has to do with the pms thing cause i've been feeling like crap for a while now. And because of that I've been thinking alot about things I shouldn't be thinking about (aka the pain from breakup with x-romeo). I've been doing the best I can to deal with it all and I'm casually taking anti-depressents to try and help.

So I found this pic whilst I was surfing other ppl's myspace blogs and I liked it so I wanted to share it with all of you. It's like the perfect dating ad.

Anyways, I'm kinda bored at work today and figured that since everyone from my department is outta the office today that i'd be a bit lazy.

So my contract is up November 1st. Its a Wed. I haven't heard whether or not I get to stay here. I've looked at my own track record I've made here and it looks good, but if its not in their budget to keep me (or some other reason I cannot think of) then I has to start finding something else. If I do get to stay then I get to keep my office. (for those of you who are outta the loop on this one) I was informed a while back that another department needed more room and that they might be moving up to my floor which meant that I'd be moving out into another workstation but they aren't comming up here so this office is mine until the end of my contract. There's these new soap dispensers in the bathrooms here at work and they are awesome. It comes out all foamy and smells very pretty.

I went to good ol' Spa ball last night. Oh and the people who sign us in asked about you and missed you last night too mz. maggie (as did I). I ended up walking in late but got right into it. Mz Veronica (instructor lady) got us to do some partner stuff (I miss having you as a partner there mz. Maggie). I got a good workout in, but I thought I was gonna die. I feel very sore and tired today, particularly cause of the mid body workout that we did. I think I'm gonna have to go back to mr. doctor to do some more testing or something cause my breathing is worsening. I think it stems from my chest pains (they come few and far between now and when they do come, they hit me hard).

I'm trying to figure out how to make links to other pages/friends on this blog and haven't been able to figure it out. What do I have to do to make these links? Can anyone help me out?

A while back mz. maggie and I went to wally mart and used these new self-checkouts. You take your stuff, wait in line and then go up to this stand and check your own items, bag them and then swipe your own card (or give the machine money and it'll spit out your change) and if you use a credit card there's this signature pad (kinda like at Old Navy) and when you're all done it spits out a receipt and you go on your merry little way. Of course if you get stuck there is someone there watching and ready to help you out.

Oh, I totally forgot. This blog has been brought to you today by this orangy colour in this text (because I was thinking about pumpkins and how orangy they are)

A Princess has commanded a new blog

So this wonderful pretty lady friend of mine (not mentioning any names *cough* maggie *cough*) has commanded some new reading material to read. So I will now bring this blog to you by the letter X. I dunno why, but X is it.

So to extend from my last blog, I have given credit to the wrong person. I is so sorry Mr. Mattie. And tank you for the Russell Peters material. (but Mr. Allan does get the credit for the burning processes). And thanks for letting me know about Danko Jones. I wanna go see the Rolling Stones. I just logged into ticketmaster and checked their concert dates. I could have sworn that Danko would have been here in Nov and that the Stones were comming to town. I swore wrong. Sorry Mr. Mattie.

I am no longer a Marble Slab virgin. (Thanks for declaring that Mr. Mattie C). My very good friends took me yesterday and for my first time there I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted. In the end I got pumpkin flav with cookie dough in a sugar wafer cone. It was awesome and I will be making future visits (hopefully not alone).

Watched my first Imax movie and I tell ya there were times that I thought I was actually in the movie/it actually felt real. I was floored at the price but the three of us got great seats with lotsa leg room. Definately gonna go to another Imax.

I finally splurged on myself and got an early xmas/bday present. I bought a dvd burner. I got this cool program with it too. I can do everything with it--dvd, cd's, mp3's, make my own movies etc. (program is called Nero by the way). I had a problem with it yest when I tried to install it. I took out my cd burner and replaced it with my dvd burner and then my computer was reading it with my dvd rom (all as one drive) then my computer wouldn't shut down and my windows media player wasn't working so today I figured it out and put my cd burner back in and took out my dvd rom so now it isn't screwing up the rest of my computer. YAY! Now I has to figure out how to burn movies. (I seem to have a problem with copywritten materials--dvd x copy and Nero won't allow me to copy them)

I've been thinking for a while that I should get a part-time job. Something I could do just on Sat's and Sun's. I found an ad in the Journal for a florist at Grower Direct and I'm really interested in it. So i'm gonna bring out the old resume and dust it off and send it off (I just have to get off of my lazy butt to do it).

So i've downloaded almost all of the songs I've wanted but need help with a handful of them (yes only five, you can count that on your fingers in one hand right?--I sure hope so) Morpheus doesn't seem to bring up any hits for me. If i post them would I get help to download them?

Looks like we're in for some snow. I'm not particularily looking forward to it but hey what can I say. I hate the cold weather and I hate extreme heat. Its just me.

I think I'm gonna post a semi compiled list for xmas seeing as all of the items on there are pretty cheep right now. So here goes: (I will update and repost it up as needed until my xmas/bday party just so yall know what to get -- and no dollarstore/dollarama items this year mr mattie c)
- Greg Behrend's Uncool [(DVD) and its just 0.01 on ebay the last time I checked] and He's Just not that into You (book)
- Yoga mat
- (mz. Maggie and I are gonna get spa packages so if u'd like to contribute then by all means jump right in)

I think thats about all for now.

--love, Mz. T

Whoa Black Betty!

To start things off: BAM BA LAM! ok I think its all out of my system now. So I've gotten into downloading songs from the interwebby. YAY! and my first song that I have ever downloaded......can ya guess? Mz. Maggie don't you dare say a word! Ok, alright! I'll tell ya, its Justin Timberlake's Sexyback. Ok so not the greatest song in the world but hey, ya gotta give me credit for actually taking initiative upon myself and the wonderful web resources that allow this kinda thing. The title of my blog today is brought to you by another song that I just happened to download last night. I heard it once whilst cookin breaky for my x.mr.romeo. and I asked him what it was before hand and he couldn't tell me cause the only lyrics that I knew were bam ba lam. it sounds kinda funny but it gets my insides goin and makes me wanna dance around. There's still a couple of songs that I can't find/get. So I may call upon some lovely friends to help me out.

I really have nothing to blog about today. I just happen to be bored outta my mind whilst sitting at work.

Oh, pops won some winnings on the lotto and now its all gone just cause he's puttin in a remote starter into his car.

Ah, somethin to ramble about: why is it that old people have no respect. All I see is these old gimpies pushin their way around everywhere thinking they own the place. For example: they'll butt through the lineups in the food court with their walkers. I'm all for respecting your elders and all but if they're gonna be giving attitude about it, then f*** them.

Side note: I've noticed that all of the males within the office building let women on/off of the elevator first even if they've got an arm load of shit. It's kinda nice to see that, especially since this is the 21st century where women are more independent.

Shanks berry mucho to mr. Allan for the Russell Peters. It was berry enjoyable. I still like his first set better (where he's in the white button up shirt). I also rented a few movies. Mz. Maggie I think you might have to help me with this.....Take the Lead, The Centenial, ah and Male Giggalo...thanks for the brain waves mz. maggie (I had forgotten the names of the movies for a sec thus calling upon a friend for help aka mz. maggie.....) anyways. Male Giggalo is hilarious, I had a hard time following the storyline in The Centenial (but atleast Keifer Sutherland did an awsome job....I got hooked after watching 24 with mr.x.romeo), and Take the Lead was ok: It wasn't as good as I was hoping but still an ok movie. Mr. Mattie: Be prepared to have me grabbing you alot during Saw 3 (eventhough I haven't seen the first two)

Went back to IKEA on Sunday. Still no coat/hat rack. I checked online and it said it was in but when I got to the warehouse part (where you go to the aisle and get your boxed goods) it wasn't there so I asked one of the workin guys and he told me not to trust what it said online rather listen to what the guy told me the last time I was there (which was 6-8 weeks). But atleast Mz. Maggie and I had a bite to eat out there (and ended up stuffing myself full). So Mr. Mattie C....I'd like to take another trip down there at the end of October...would you like to go? (I would have brought you last time except it was Sunday at like 12:00 and I figured u'd be sleeping.)

So to finish today's blog: (8) Jeremiah was a bullfrog! Was a good friend of mine! Never understood a single word he said but I helped him drink his wine! ...Joy to the world!...Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea, Joy to you and me!

ps Mr. Mattie C, I wanna go and see Danko Jones and he's gonna be in E-town in Novemer sometime! (*ahem....get tickets...*ahem....so we can go...*ahem....and I do believe you owe me an mp3 cd of his moosac)
