| | creative | ] | Despite the fact that I'm coming down with zee influenza, I feel really great because I've finally figured out how to do my character introduction for my novel I am writing. Though my writing has been on a three month hiatus, I toyed with Chapter 2 continously.. only to click & drag it into my recycle bin. But I've finally got the character's intros planned, & I've got the whole story mapped out in my head. I'm pretty stoked.
That is all. I'm going to go drink fruit punch & snuggle with my cat now, under my wonderous quilt.
Pretty fucking aggravated that the Habs game isn't televised on cable tonight, not gonna lie. It's a big game, ques-ce que fuck?
EDIT; Upon my arrival home I was greeted with pink tulips that have yellow edges from Scott( he even put them in a vase for me!), as well as some fruit punch in my Montreal Canadiens mug. & now he is making a dinner that is ultimate comfort food. Best.. boyfriend.. EVAR. Yes yes, even over Sergei! |

I am so over winter. Like, so over it. We're done. Ugh.
Looks like I won't be making it into work tomorrow, & thankfully Karen can cover the office for the day, but I'm somewhat dissapointed. I was looking forward to taking some time to give the office a good spring cleaning & sort files & start planning something new for marketing for this month. I've been pumped since I've gotten back from my trip, but business is so slow. I know today it was because of the weather. We had the worst Friday today; the worst Friday I've seen since I've been working as manager & it's quite disheartening because we're doing everything right. I guess it's just that time of year. The late winter slump? Let's call it that.
Today I went to Shoppers & bought new shampoo/cond., some hair smoothing serum, face wash & body wash. For some reason, that stuff always gets me excited. New toiletteries for the win!
& now, it's time for bed. Things are a little stressful at work & it's wearing me down.
I can't wait for spring. I can't wait for my spark to come back.

I'll short-form everything since people skip lengthy, drawn-out blog entries AKA I know I do, so I figure..
Caribbean Cruise + excellent trip + warm weather + five-star meals everyday + down-filled pillows & comforters + a balcony suite + blackjack in the ship's casino + buying pretty jewellery + pina coladas galore + swimming in the ocean + finding a starfish in said ocean + gathering cool rocks & shells at the beach - gathering 'green gems' at the beach excitedly, only to later find out they were pieces of a broken Heineken bottle. (The edges were smooth because of being in the ocean for so long, fooled me!) - non-waterproof sunblock causing me an insane sunburn w/ blisters - spending my last 2.5 days in great pain due to said sunburn - no hockey news, not even on trade deadline day! + finding a man on the beach with a Canucks shirt on whom we retrieved trade news from + seeing an iguana randomly in a tree! + my iguana dance! + purchasing a lot of booze for cheap! (it's disturbing what we pay for booze in Canada when you see the prices over at the islands) - island poverty. houses with barred doors & windows. voodoo country. - dad renting a car in St. Maartens & getting us lost in the mountains, only to end up at the very top where we found a jail! it was a total National Lampoon kind of day we had there. + $2 Corona's on the beach - a horrible Beatle's "tribute" performed by the ship's entertainment. (Craig, you would have walked onto the stage & taken a crunch on their faces.) + Starbucks green tea latte + creme brule + seafood galore +/- sushi, but not as good as Danny's :) - homesickness hitting me Wednesday evening - missing my friends & my cat
Other random shit.. + coming home to find out the Habs were in first place in the East (now in second, but eh!) + a client of mine lent me two Montreal Canadiens related books. Lions In Winter & a story on Jean Belliveau. + oddly enough, going back to work was nice. + possibly going to a fantasia party with Melinda Saturday night, tee hee! + crunchy peanut butter + Scott's mom's German Chocolate Cake brownies! + Jenna visiting me at the office today with her cute little pregnant belly + Spring approaching & me not hibernating + currently feeling like there is nothing to worry about in life ♥

| | trying to wake up | ] | This is such a great year to be a Habs fan. Oh my word.
So, today has been lazy. Scott is in Detroit so I've been enjoying some quiet time. I went to the grocery store & bought greek style pita's, pizza sauce, mozza cheese, mushrooms & green peppers, & created a cute & tasty mini pizza.
Then I snuggled on the couch with a quilt & watched the Candiens & Islanders game, dozing off here & there. Really, it feels like a Sunday.
Tonight, hangouts at Andrew's with the crew. Poker, Guitar Hero & sushi. I can deal with that. |

| | indifferent | ] | I went to Lick's today & I had a vanilla coke. I haven't had a vanilla coke in years, basically since they took it off the market. Why would they take such a soda off the shelves? Same with Crystal Clear Pepsi. It was good & yes, it tasted different than dark Pepsi. Oh, also, A&W Cream Soda. It's like you have to go to a specialty pop shop to even find that stuff.
& yet they find it necessary to shelf flavours like Pepsi's Caramel Cream & Strawberries & Cream. Who drinks that shit? Do people really like the feeling of their teeth corroding? I know, regular pop has just as much sugar, but seriously. The taste that dances on your palate screams cavaties. SICK.
Other things that have been discontinued that piss me off:
+ Smackers Apple Blossom cologne spritzer + Lucky You Lucky Brand perfume + XYX for women + Bonkers candy + Cookie Crisp cereal + Rialto body wash & cream (this green colour they used to have, totally forget what it was called.) + Rialto vanilla body spray |

I've been hooked on this song since. I love the "Ohh ohh ohhhhh's".. & I totally have an 80s crush on the keyboard player. Hah.

I am sick again & trying to fight it off with disgusting Tylenol liquid death that tastes like syrup scooped from the river styx. I gag & get chills everytime I drink it. But Halls, they are my friend.
I just wish I would stop getting sick already!
Today is shopping with Ness, then Scott & I are taking her for sushi, then we are going to watch many movies. I am going to rent: I Heart Huckabees Running With Scissors About A Boy
& Ness is bringing Superbad.
Oh, the excitement. |

Not that anyone really cares but, this is mostly to archive pointform memoires for myself.
Random +'s

Some -'s - losing my grandfather - no play-offs for Montreal in the '07 season - random things with work
Things making me stoked about 2008 + CRUISE! + quitting smoking + eating healthy & excercising + Montreal road trip with the boys + two year anniversary with Scott + more reading + more writing + more cooking + Canadian Idol 6!

| | rejuvenated | ] | It must be psychological, because obviously a new year doesn't really realign the planets & tamper with my aura or anything, but I feel refreshed & ready for a new year. I was so positive & productive today. I feel like me again, after two months of hellish shifts & stress & craziness. This makes me very happy.
Melinda was training our new part-timer today. So we now officially have four people on staff. Excellent.
I went tanning after work & it felt rejuvinating. I want colour for the wedding at the end of Jan & of course, for the cruise. Totally thinking about my getaway every day. I look at the Web site a couple of times a week & just smile.
& the Habs, I'm so stoked. They are thrid in the Eastern division & I totally know they are going to make the play offs this year. They have to. I can't wait to build a Habs shrine over my dads TV & do our pizza, beer & wings night during the first play off series.
I realized something the other day that made me laugh. Leafs fans know they are stuck with a bad team (mostly due) to horrible management & can joke about it with eachother but no other team fan. When around other team fans they will drag you down with them. That is a typical Leafs fan. But Habs fans, we're so oblivious sometimes. We don't really diss any team unless it's Toronto & we think we are going to win the Stanley Cup every year. Every year is our year! Just kind of a random, funny thought. & yes, I'm guilty of the aforementioned. I like to dream.
Feeling it from dark to bright When a wrong becomes a right When a mountain fills with light It's a volcano. |

Because I'm too lazy to get into specifics, I will simply say that my christmas was great ♥
Thanks to all who sent me lovely christmas cards. Sorry I didn't send any out this year, work threw me out of any sort of real festive mood I could have gotten into.
In other news, I now harbour a new appreciation for baked brie. I already have a recipe stewing in my brain.
