Let the semi-ficticious tribulations begin. [Mar. 13th, 2008|05:23 pm]
[Current Mood | 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.

Aaaaand.. I'm back. [Mar. 5th, 2008|06:58 pm]
[Current Mood | refreshed]

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

Ole ole. [Feb. 2nd, 2008|04:52 pm]
[Current Mood | 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.

I think I will bake cupcakes today.. if I can get my ass in gear.

Where have all the good sodas gone? [Jan. 22nd, 2008|06:09 pm]
[Current Mood | 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

Flashy. [Jan. 21st, 2008|09:50 pm]
[Current Mood | amused]

Last weekend, on Sunday to be exact, I got stoned on my couch & watched Much Music's "Your Fave Videos From the 80's" countdown.
It was all kinds of bliss, snuggled under a blanket with a goofy grin on my face watching the tackyest videos ever made.

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.

Laugh! [Jan. 12th, 2008|01:09 pm]
[Current Mood | sick but happy?]

Sigh. I love my friends.
Just thinking of their laughs makes me feel all giddy inside.
I love how incredibly silly my boys are & how incredibly cynical & sarcastic my girls are.
I wish I had recordings of everyone's laughs individually. That would be awesome.

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.

Attention à la dynamite. [Jan. 2nd, 2008|06:57 pm]
[Current Mood | 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.

The supposed subject line. [Dec. 28th, 2007|10:15 pm]
[Current Mood | hungry]

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.
