EASTER SUNDAY
I was trying to find a cute picture to put up but when I did a search for easter bunny pictures, this* (*don't look if your squemish or still believe in the easter bunny) one came up and it was a little disturbing. Imagine being a little kid and looking on the internet for a picture of the easter bunny and comming across this...most disturbing. What's even more disturbing is the fact that someone took the time to set it up and take the picture. but I have to admit, I did giggle a little. (Don't go thinking I'm an animal hater now, everyone knows I love animals and am very sypathetic to them)
I had a great day today. Both of my brothers were over as well as my sister in law. They got here aroung noon and we had a great brunch with all the goodies from the bakery. Then it was on to the treasure hunt. These were my clues:
#1- put a lid on the music!
(found in cd player)
#2-this toast stinks!
(found in old toaster that was in the basement for God knows how long. My mum brought it out a while ago becasue the other toaster was broken and when she tried it out it stank like a mo-fo)
#3- under the clouds
(found behing a painting of clouds in my sister's room)
#4- dry dew drops
(found in a bouquet of very fake flowers my mum ha. They have like glue gun glops to simulate dewdrops...heinous)
#5- on "hold" for winter
(found in the pool room. The pump has a "hold" possition and the clue was under it)
#6-rolling along with Grandma
(found in kitchen cubbord where Grandma's rolling pin is)
My gift was there with the last clue. Mum bought me a bolo bat. She used to buy them for use at easter when we were kids so it's a very family tradition type joke gift. But man is it ever hard to do. I got like 15 "bops" and that's about as good as I can do. She also gave me a little glass rectangular vase with stones at the bottom to put bamboo shoots in, very nice. She also gave me a little good luck charn to bring to my interview on friday. Chris gave me a nascar magazine. It's really cool, at the back it has a big section where you can order parts and stuff. Just the motor costs' $35, 000.00. I think the onl;y thing I could afford was the window nets ($14.95).
After eating and treasure hunt we went out for a walk. Since it was warn out today the snow was melting and when snow melts, it become the perfect consistency for making snowballs..or even better iceballs. Needless to say we were throwing snowballs all afternoon. BUt as usual, it;s all fin and games until someone gets hurt. This time it was Chris who got injured. Lucas threw one right at his face(not intentionally of course). GAME OVER. His cheek swelled up and was turning purple, but seems to be fine now. And me, my wrist hurts from whipping them so hard. The rest of the day was spent playing nascar and wrestling on the PS2.
Then the moment of truth. DINNER. My mum makes the best pierogy's in the world, or at least I think so.
So now the guests have left and my tummy has expanded to incredible poportions (as I sit here typing, my pants undone because they are too tight at the moment). Still have so much chocolate to eat. I think I'l be forced to give some away. I feel fat enough as it is and who needs to eat like 5 pounds of chocolate really?
A new week begins tomorrow. Too bad Anita won't be there, she has the day off so time may run rather slowly......and it will be quite dull without her. But I'm taping the Ten Commandments as we speak to enjoy during lunch club this week. It's like five and a half hours though....holly cow that's a long movie, but I look foward to seeing what all this fuss is about.

Ah yes, saturday. Nothing like a sunny saturday to make it all worth while. My mum drove into town this morning to go to the st-laurent street bakery to stock up on easter goodies and since I had an appointment to get my hair done, we drove in together. I spent most of the morning at coupe bizzare getting my hair dyed by my favorite guy Lance. Even though I gave him strict orders about 5 months ago about not bleaching my already fried hair anymore, we decided that it was time to go back to the bleach. I love it. The colors are inspired by a calico cat and that's pretty much what it looks like. rearn. We had lots of fun catching up and doing the usual "people we hate" bashing. I love going there.
Once home we went out to Wall Mart so Lucas and I could pick up our easter treats. They had the Easter petting zoo at the mall so I spent like a half hour petting the lambs.....Then it was off to the video store to pick up a few PS2 games. Tony Hawk 3 was out AGAIN. I swear, I'm going to find that punk that keps renewing it and beat the crap outta him..It's been out eversince they got it in like months ago.. Anyways, we got nascar 2002 and wrestling (what?). We came home, had lunch and watched Gladiator. "Can I have your attention please: Would Joaquin Phoenix please report to my bedroom, Joaqiun Phoenix to Sue's bedroom please...." Sweet Mary mother of God he's hot. Russel's not so shnabby either. So as you can see I spent most of the day just enjoying being off.
I was peased to see that my counter has passed 500. Not too bad for something that started out as a joke.
I was with Anita the other day and we were at her place and we got to talking about moving furniture and painting, and now all I want to do is paint my room and move the furniture around, I guess that's what I'll be doing tomorrow. I'll have all that energy from the chocolate to get rid of. Speaking of which..I need to go and wrap my gifts and it's not nice of me to be up in the computer room typing while my brother (who came down to hang out wit mw) is downstairs by himself. I'll update tomorrow, so until then you can occupy your time with this.

Friday at last. Almost didn't make it to work though. Since it's Good Friday, the train schedule follows the saturday times.....Lucky for me the train ran only 5 minutes before my normal train and so I got towork 5 minutes earlier than usual. I thought work was going to go by fast, we had lots to do and the store was busy..but as it turns out, time stood still most of the morning and only sped up in the afternoon. Anita and I have mastered the "busy" look. We 've been really slack-offish this week-end. It's the warmer weather. We're all fidgity and antsy and work is so..routine and boring....
We (Anita and I) went shopping after work. My quest for new leather boots began....Nothing today but I'm sure that somedays my boots will find me. Patience. It's actually better that I didn't find boots. I'm a little short on cash, well I WILL be short on cash cause I'm gettin my hair dyied tomorrow morning at Coupe Bizzare. Besides that not much else happened. Lots of laughing and fun, as usual. Lucas came home tonight and is staying over for Easter week-end, My other brother Chris and his wife Isabel will be over on Sunday for an Easter breakfast and our traditional treasure hunt. Yes, dispite our matures age, we still do treasure hunts. My mum stays up half the night thinking of clues and hidding them around the house then sleeps for an hour or so and starts making a huge yummy breakfast. You may be thingking that is dumb and childish to still be doing treasure hunts but they are really hard and you've got to think about them for quite some time before figuring them out... For instance one clue will say "zymurgy". The n it's up to you to figure out that "zymurgy" is the last word in the dictionary and that's where the next clue is. Sometimes she'll hide them outside and we'l be running around outside in our jammies searching for clues. It's really quite fun. I love doing it and look foward to it every year. That and the chocolate.....oh God the chocolate....I'm having lots of trouble typing this evening, my hands are all cramped up and not going where I tell them to go so I'm going to cut it short and end this entry with the remainder of the questionaire.

M.A.C called, actually it was Etienne FROM M.A.C. So I was promt to call him back. He said that I was selected from the group to be called back for a second interview...next week friday at 13h00. I hung up with him and my mouth went completely dry and I felt all lightheaded, I thought I was gonna barf. Thankfully, I didn't, but I needed to sit down for a while cause I felt a pannic atack comming on. I'm getting pretty good at calming myself down from them now. I'm one step closser to getting my dream job...and one step farther from Anita at Gap. Very mixed feelings. I want to be all happy but I'm worried that I'll get my hopes up and be let down if I don't get it. I hate being let down. As if not getting what you want is bad enought, you got yourself all hyped up and now you feel lower than low becasue you've let yourself down. blah.blah.blah. Very nervous. I'm sure I'll be crapping my pants all week until the interview...thank god for depends.

$Pay day tonight$- Thank God! I can't wait to go shopping tomorrow....I'm in desperate need of new clothing. I can't handle another morning of me standing in front of my closet for twenty minutes trying to decide what to wear. So far I have to say that the work week has been very..very.... what 's the word I'm looking for...oh yeah LAX! As in relaxing. Althoug I've always gotten all my things done, the afternoons have been spent doing ZERO! Take for instance yesterday, we had to go shopping for some props for work and we went to Alexis-Neon mall. We casually looked around for a while, taking our time. Then for our afternoon break we decided to go to arcades for a while. We shoot some b-ball, football and I whipped Anita's ass at air hockey. Okay maybe not whipped her ass but I still won. I love my job.
I had forgotten to bring the movie for lunch club today but we were saved becasue the stock boys had tapes of wrestling. What happened to wrestling anyway? I used to watch it when I was young and it was never so soap opera-ish as it is now. Now people are getting married in the ring, having bikini fights, lots of big talk and catch phrases ("what?").. It like you see one fight and then it cuts to the "story line", another fight, another segment of days of their lives...what the hell? Don't get me wrong, it's still very entertaining. I haven't laughed that much in a while. I'd love to go see a fight, but only if the Rock is going to be there...cause I want to smell what he's cooking...

27. If not, what do you want pierced/tattooed? I'm going to get nautical stars on my elbows..maybe around my birthday..maybe sooner.
That will conclude this days entry. The Amazing race is on tonight, unfortunutly at the same time as a new show tht I wantes to tape for lunch club tomorrow, sorry Anita.

*TOPIC TUESDAY*
This tuesdays topis- PHOBIAS
Next tuesdays topic- SELF TREPANATION (need time to read up on it, and tonight I just don't feel like researching)
A phobia is a persistent and unreasonable fear of a specific object, activity or situation.
We all have something that scares us, me, I have quite a few. But my top three phobias are:
#1: Spiders- Arachnephobia (Creepy, crawly things- Herpetophobia)
#2: Vomiting- Emetophobia
#3: Flying- Aviophobia
Mind you I haven't been "diagnosed" with these phobias but they do scared the crap out of me.
I know that being scared of bugs and spiders is a real girly type thing but I really am affraid of them. To the point that if I see a spider in the living room, I won't go there until someone has killed it or gotten rid of it and even then I wont go there until one day it slips my mind that there was once a spider there. The worst was when I was in the shower upstairs and I'm doing all the normal shower things and then I look up...There IT is. It was huge, really I'm not exaggerating. It's body was big and "juicy" and it was hanging there by it's web about five inches from my face. Needless to say I ran out of there screamng like a banshee and that was about a year ago and I still haven't used that shower since... Before you go making dirty girl jokes, we have a second shower downstainr which is spider free. You also need to understand that in the suburbs where I live we get wolf spiders. If you don't know what they look like, then do a google search cause I'm not going to look around for you. All I have to say is that they are big..I mean tarantula big. They don't live in webs, they live in burrows under wood, under stairs, anywhere really. My backyard is full of great homes for those fuckers. I saw one last year and it was as big as my hand! Even when they are babies they're big and they hang aroung my front porch so when I go out I have to duck and run casue I'm scared they're going to drop on me. Today Anita and I passed by a pet store and I was looking in the aquariums that had the mice and hampsters and then I gazed over to see the fucking tarantula and had a pannic attack....
Then there's vomitting. Nothing puts me more into a pannic like nausea. Even talking about it makes me feel nervous. If you know me you're suposed to know not to talk about diarhea or vomitting UNLESS, I bring it up (no that wasn't a joke "bring it up"). I haven't vomitted for about 3-4 years. I think that last time I did was when I was at home eating a jolly rancher and I started to choke on it and couldn't breath and I stuck my fingers down my throat to yak it up and I hurt like you can't imagine. The time before that was when I drank too much rye and smoked some pot. I had to walk home from the park (that's 2 block away) and it took me about an hour casue I was barfing every two steps....I wouldn't mind having to vomit at home, I think it's more vomiting in public that I'm affraid of, so I always carry a plastic bag in my purse/jacket/pant pocket just incase I feel like barfing. It's true, just ask Anita. I also carry pepto bismol wherever I go. I don't know if it really helps but in my mind it does.
Flying. This phobia is TOTALLY unrelated to september 11th. Though I might add that it didn't help much. I've always had a fear of flying. I hate it when my family or friends fly too. My sister lives in London and I can't even go see her.. I tried to last year. I went to the travel agent and we sat sown and started talking about what I could afford and flight schedules etc...and when she started talking about booking flights I started shaking, sweating and crying so I got up and ran out of there. Just the thought of going into a plane, flying far away from home, over water, over big sharp mountains....can't do it. won't do it unless I'm heavily sedated, I'd have to be.

What a day. So..monday-ish. When the alarm went off this morning, my body was trying to convince my mind that it was sunday and that it should go back to sleep. So I turned off the alarm and crawled back into bed and woke up ten minutes later in a panic because I finaly figured out that it was monday and I really did have to get up and go to work. So it was rush-rush-rush off to work. Oh monday, why are you so cruel? Actually the work part of the day went really fast. Anita and I had to go set up a room at a hotel where a meeting was being held and that took all morning, until 13h00, we got back to work and ate lunch (delicious I might add) and enjoyed more of " Raiders of the lost Arc" and by that time it was 14h00 and we only had 2 hours of work left and that just zipped on by...But after work I was so overwhelmed by exhaustion. The second I found a seat on the train I was asleep, and when I woke up we were at my stop. Thank God I woke up because I was in no mood to walk 45 minutes to get home, no way! Now I'm in my jammies, my bed is made and awaiting my arrival....So now I just need to make lunch club for tomorrow and get my clothes layed out and I'm ready for bed....can't wait.
It's pay day this thursday, I can't wait for that either....I'm already spending my money in my head which is never a good thing.... All I have to remember is to put aside enough to pay mum (rent), Simmons (creadit card) and train pass, and then the rest is mine, ALL MINE!!Moohahahahah! I want to but new leather boots. Fuck them taxes. I'll go check the discount store up by Mont Royal, they usually have good deals and especially since I want last years model, they'll be cheapy-cheapy, the best kind. I also need to do something with my hair, I'm growing it out so I don't really want a cut, so I guess I'll play with the color a little. Need some new clothes too....I think I 'll need more money.
Every one was talking Oscar today. I was embarrased to say that I went to bed. I was too tired to stay up past ten to watch. All I know is that most people if not everyone looked so gross and wearing the wrong sizes and a face full of caked on make-up. Jennifer Connely looked like her dress needed to be pulled up about 10 inches and what was with that interviewer fron ET? Could she look any more "bootylicious"? Here are a few more that made it into worst dresses, J-Lo who's hair looked the same as the barbie's you took in the tub when you were young. But I liked Cameron Diaz's dress, without the necklace-belt though......chaqu'un ces gout. I got to go make lunch now or I'll be up late doing it...Must go to bed early, I don't want to feel like this again tomorrow.... It's topic tuesday tomorrow so you can submit your topics in the forum, it can be anything you want. If there aren't entries (and there usually aren't) then the topics will be: Phobias.

Told you I'd update again. I'm doing it rather early to avoid staying up too late doing this, that and I want to be free to watch the Oscars. I haven't seen ANY of the movies that are nominated but I usually just watch the "stars" arrive to see what they are wearing. That's really all I care about.
Didn't get a chance to nap like I wanted to today. And some idiot taped over my entire Jerry Springer tape. I had 22 episodes with commercials cut and some morron taped over it. That morron of course was me. As sad as I was not to be watching Jerry, I had taped a SNL episode with Christopher Walken, so all was forgiven.He is one funny/scarry guy. I definately wouldn't mess with him. After SNL I hads taped a series that played on TLC a while back, it was all about cosmetic surgery. So I watched this woman get a face lift and God Damn it was gross. They cut all along the top of your scalp, where your hairline is and then they scrape the skin off the bone and yank it back and staple it down. It's not so much that that bothered me, but it was all the scrapping and slurping noises that accompanied it that made me wanna hurl.After that it was rhinoplasty. But after watching it I wasn't so sure I could go through with it. There was also a 20/20 episode that talked about this 14 year old girl whose parents gave her permission to get a breast enlargement to boost her self esteen. " oh thanks mom and dad for the great cleavage, now I can be a ho' like all the other cheesy girls at school..." Only in America.
Mum came home at around two and we talked about her trip and stuff, got busy doing the dishes, made fat-free cranberry muffins (I didn't realize that fat free meant rubbery and taste free too). And then Sylvie called again. She had called earlier but I didn't pick up. She called to say how irritated she was with her sister becasue she keeps calling her and talking about herself non-stop and going on and on about things she doesn't care about..Hmmmmm seem to run in the family. Since then she's called twice....I told my mum that next time she calls i'm in the shower/out for a walk/in the bath/asleep/missing/in a deep coma/gone to store etc....You may all be wondering just why I put up with this? Why am I still her friend? Truth is, sometimes I'm not even sure. I guess it's all the history we share. It's not that I don't like her anymore, it's just that we've grown apart and every since she got married, she's very different. Anyways enough about her. God forbid she ever finds out about this journal....Then this would happen. Whoa Mama! (But i would win of course)
Hey guess who just called? Looks like I'm going for a walk later, I was too quick to pick up. We really need call display on every phone.
Dinner is ready. So off I go, enjoy your evenings.

Okay so this is how my day went yesterday:
I had planned to stay in jammies all day long playing hockey and watching movies but Sylvie called and really wanted to go shopping. So me being the good friend I am, I got showered, dressed and ready to go. We went to Carefour Laval (uhg) and spent like 2 hours there (the highlight being the Easter petting farm which included lambs) My head was pounding and all I wantd was to go home. We went to go see this girl we know who works at the mall and she wanted to maybe do something last night so Sylvie says to call her at my place later on tonight. Thing is, I didn't remember ever inviting her over nor do I remember saying that I wanted to go anywhere....and to be honest, I didn't want her to come over, I wasn't feeling up to making her feel better. Sh doessn't like being alone and whenever she feels that way she's calling me like 5-6 times a day, but she doesn't understand that I DO like to be alone, even thought I've told her on many occasions. I know it's a terrible thing to say but when I'm not feeling 100%, how can I make someone else feel better? And my brother was over and he came over to spend time with me and it wouldn't be very nice if while he was here I was entertaining someone else....Anyways she didn't end up comming over but she called again to say she may stop by later....she didn't. *phew*
So I decided to pull out the sofa bed and sleep in front of the t.v. with pupy by my side. I think I went to bed at 03h00 and puppy just HAD to go out at like 06h30....I wasn't very happy, but if you gotta go, you gotta go right? I managed to do the dishes, vacume, dust and start a load of laundry all before noon.. Can you tell mum's comming home today?
We rented "Don't Say A Word" with Micheal Douglas last night. so-so. Kind of predictable though, but then again what movie now a day isn't? We also go a game: State of Emergency...It's made by the same people who made Grand Thef Auto III so i figured it would be great but I must say I was quite dissapointed. Basically you're a thug and you go around fucking shit up. You beat people up, steal their stuff, break store window, kill cops/security/FBI/armed forces, cut off peples heads with hatchets and then beat other people up with the severed heads..sound great right? Something about it just wasn't.....wasn't fun, this review says it better. So now since I'm alone and NHL goes back tomorrow, I've decided to start "Resident Evil:code Veronica"
over and win it- NO CHEATS. I had started it like a year ago but then "Silent hill 2" came out and I just droped everything to play that for 5 hours a day every day until I won it....
games to buy:
-Tony Hawk 3
- NHL 2002
- 007- Agent under fire
- Grand Turismo III*
( *but only when I can afford to get the steering wheel and pedals...or perhaps receive them as a gift for my brirthday...*hint, hint*)
Today I plan on doing zero, nada, niet, rien! I may go for a walk later to get some fresh air and walk the dog, but I won't be doing much else. I found my Jerry Springer tape and I'll probably end up watching that while drifting in and out of sleep all afternoon. Ahhh glorius week-end. glory glory be! I'll probable update again before bed this evening, stay tuned.
I added a new link. it's to retnuh. I'm not sure who exactly this is but his site is pretty funny...lotsa porn, nothing wrong with that! I mean what a world without porn, right? He link me, I link him.

Pittsburgh beats Boston- in your face Lucas!! I am INVINCIBLE!!!
We had an NHL re-match and as you can see I won. It was a tie game and I beat him in the shoot-out. That game totally rocks even if they pronounce Lemieux-"Leme-U". (*lucas, you should go to my forum, I finally found an image that works..very appropriate too!)
I'll re-cap the rest of my day tomorrow, but now it's past two in the mornig and I need to get some decent sleep. I DID write a whole bunch of stuff but the comuter crashed (surprise surprise) and I'm in no mood to start over, so I'll just include it in tomorrow's entry.
fun

For some immature fun go here or here.....Always makes me smile!

Friday at last. Thank the Lord Jesus Christ! amen. It felt like this day would never come. My back and legs are aching from all the shovelling and playing last night. I'm really out of shape. I don't know why I did this, but I stepped on the scale and holy moly, I just about crapped my pants when I saw those three numbers spin by 1.....5.....4. Stepping on the scale is like plauying video lottery, you know what numbers you want to come up, and you see them wiz by and then it lands waaayy off. You loose. What happened? I thought I was doing so good, eating better, walking more.....Something must be done because I don't think that the beached whale look is in this summer. Uhg, the diet starts tomorrow. No more take-out, greasy, buttery, sugary, salty junk. That means x-nay on ickory sticks-nay and the beloved cadburry cream egg...It's alright though because I'm like a camel. I stored up all those goodies in my two humps (the big tire that sit aroung my waist) so I wont have any withdrawl symptoms for at least a week or so.
What a nice lax dayt at work. I cleaned up and organized my work space for like 2 hours and with the remaining hour and a half of my shift, I went shopping around working on my project. I stopped by the M.A.C counter to say hello. Cathy was there and said that I will get a call this week comming up for a follow-up interview. Holy crap they're calling me back. I'm one step closer to my dream job and I'm scared outta my mind. Actually, I'm not going to talk about it anymore because I really don't want to jinx it. So this will be the last time I mention it here UNLESS I hear something else.
I took a noon-thirty train home and Lucas was arlready here. We watched "Detroit Rock City". Which has some major cute boys in it (Edward Furlong and Giuseppe Andrews). Basically for those of you who don't know, it's about a group of pot head boys who are trying to get tickets to go see KISS in detroit.... lots of physical comedy and head-banging metal anthems. I love it. It always makes me want to go on a road trip, but then I remember that I I hate to travel and get car sick....
I'm so tired now. I meant to go to bed early-ish to at least be able to catch up on my sleep without having to sleep in until 15h00, but Lucas and I got caught up in the ol' hockey. All I can say is that I'm the worst looser (worse than Chris) and the best winner. Naturally he whipped my ass. I don't get it, I can play real good against the computer and then Lucas comes over and humiliates me infront of my own playstation....how embarassink.
Arright folks, I can't fight it anymore, my back aches and I can hear my bed calling out to me saying " Suuuusie....SuuuuUUsie, come cuddle with me....I'm all warm and cozy.....commmmeee to meeee...."
Goodnight.

Hell week is officially over. Technically I still have one day left but it's going to be a fun do-things-at-my-own-pace-cause-all-the-managers-are-off-kind of day, my favorite. Actually, I have a project for work to work on, get this... I'm going to get paid to go around looking at make-up counters to see how they are set up and then go around shopping for things I can buy to use in our make-up counter at the store....How amazing is that?
I don't quite know how but even thought I got up at like 04h00 this morning and have only gotten a maximun of 6 hours of sleep every night this week, I didn't feel tired at all today. I don't get it. Sometimes I can sleep the required 8 hours and feel like I've been drinking all night and be the bigest grump in the word the next day, but other times I can sleep 2-3 hours and be in tip-top shape..My guess is that's it's total delirium...
Oh yeah did I mention that I hate Martine? (store manager, cunticus-maximus) She's a real baby la-la. I mean how hard is it to say "hello" or "goodbye" or even a "how are you?" would be fine. This cold hearted bi-a-tch can't do it. I think she was born (or was she was hatched?) without a heart, infact I'm sure of it. I made a special effort, althought I don't know why, to be nice. I said hello this morning and all I got was a weak pathetic "hhhe...l....o" and even at that she didn't look at me. And then, get this, at the end of the day, after a week or grueling work to prepare for an important visit from my managers' manager (which went very well) I say a cheerfull "goodbye Martine" even though what I really wanted to say was "I hate you" . There was no denying she knew I was speaking to her, but since there was no reaction I repeated myself louder "GOODBYE MARTINE!" and that mo' fo' just walks on and ignores me.... I'm sorry but if you're a store manager that looks over like 200 employees, people skills are kind of nesessary am I right? Anyways I went right away to my nice store manager and I told him the hole deal and I'm going to meet wioth the witch sometime next week so we can talk abouttwhat her problem with me is.....No one likes her. Not even the regional manager likes her. I feel bad that everyone hates her but she does bring it on herself. If she was really hurt by all this then you'd think she'd change, or at least make an effort.
Survivor was great this week, except they pulled that switching tribe thing again. I don't see why they bother. Each team should just have to deal with themselves until the merge. BUt sonce it ain;t my show, what can you do?
I think I've done enougt shovelling for a while. It snowed so much and so hard that when I finally got hte walk and the driveway done, the parts where I had started were already in need of re-shovelling..... But I had fun with Puppy in the back yard. I decided to shovel her a passage to walk in and ended up running around, burrying myself and throwing snowballs with my pooch. It was fun and sort or exhilerating to play arond like that and get all wet and snowy-like. I'm sure I'll be sorry tonight when I get woken up by leg cramps and can't walk... but it was worth the fun.
Still haven't heard from M.A.C. It's been three weeks today and still no word. I dunno what to think. Most of the people who work there said that they waited like months before they heard anything....But I want to know now! I was so sure that I had done well in the interview. I felt so confident and was really convinced that I had it in the bag, but it seems I was a litte pre-mature in my thinking. Oh well. I'll just try again and again until I get it. If I don;t hear anything in like 2 months. I'm going to take a class or something....I dunno, I'm not there yet so I'll just go on keeping my fingers crossed and not stepping on cracks in the sidewalk.....
So happy to be free of the stress at work. It really is like a weight that's been lifted off my shoulders.

10 Minutes to write tonight......I have lots to do and since it was a late work day, I don;t have much time to do it. My mum left for Ontario to go see my Grandmum so i;'mhome alone with Puppy. That's actually a good thing because this week has been so hellish with all the work I've had that it'll be nice just to come home to quiet and not have to talk. I added a few more pitures from Anita's b-day, there are still a few more but I have ZERO patience for a crashing computer tonight. My brother Lucas is comming over on friday to stay for the week-end. Lucas+me+NHL2002+Playstation2=FUN, throw in a souvlaki pita from Poulet Dore and it's heaven. I look foward to relaxing and doing nothing at all for a couple of days. I fI could, I'd unplug the phone, turn off all power and just veg out.
I'm making lunch club lunch tomorrow but now I'm having second thoughts..Every lunch I've made this week has either made Anita feel "wonky", almost barf and gassy. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm going to give the option of eating out, but I'm bringing cheese tortelina with a sun dried tomato pesto sauce and for desert, nuttela biscotti and an orange.... Sounds good, but will I make my freind sick? Who knows. It's been a really messed up week. Poor Anita has been working like 10 days in a row, plus she had school tonight. I don't know how she does it, way to go Anita! I need to cut it short, the ten minutes aren't up but I still have to fix and iron my shirt, take out the garbage/recycling, do the dishes, make lunch club, walk puppy, pack bags for tommorows day of hell. But I want to end this entry on a positive note because I realized that the past few entries have been rather negative so I'm going to sign off by listing things that made me happy today.
puppy curling up ijn bed with me, good chom rock, my hair did the right thing, quiet train ride (no babies, talkers or coughers), Michel in good mood (shocking!), Anita, Harrison Ford as Indianna Jones ("these tracks are fresh, three days.."), mocachino, Marc Cliche, finding a cadbury cream egg I bought yesterday and forgot to eat, s&v hichory sticks, puppy happy to see me when I got home, my yoga pants, finding a note from mum saying that she misses and loves me.....
I guess things weren't so bad today after all.

Here are a few of Anita's birthday pictures... there are still many more but this is all I coild get on without my computer crashing. I'll put the rest up thurdays night when I'm not all stressed out from work. God when will this wek be over? I'm tired of being bitch at work, I'm tired of being behind in my work, I'm just tired of being tired...
*TOPIC TUESDAY*
I got a few topic requests:
-taxes
-small computer screens
-top cd/movies
TAXES: I hate them. Actually this is the first year I hate them, only because for some reason, the government thinks I owe it something, 200 somethings. And as I've mentioned before those 200 somethings WERE going toward a new pair of boots, but now they've got to wait until later...This makes me very unhappy.
SMALL COMPUTER SCREENS: Another thing that irritates me. My little computer screen. It's not it's fault it's little but it bugs me just the same. I hate having to lean into in to read. I want a screen that'll give be a tan if I sit too close. A screen I can use to light a room.. But who am I to complain right? My big brother was kind enought to give it to us a few years ago and if it weren't for him, we probably wouldn't have any computers at all... Perhaps this is a good time to mention that I want my own computer and digital camera for my birthday.......Just a thought.*ahem* Chris *ahem*...
TOP CD/MOVIES: I always find these top 5's to be realy hard to answer. I don't think I really have an ALL time favorite movie. There are some I like now such as:
Fight Club, Gladiator, James Bond (all or most), Indianna Jones (all).
As for cd's, I'm enjoyin the best of Neil Diamond (which I promiss to return soon, sorry Steph!) and Hank Williams III...
What a day, and to think I've got to do it all over again tomorow, but this time I get to start my day at freaking 07h00! Which means getting up at 04h30...yippee I can't wait, I love getting up in the middle of the night to go to work. Oh Jesus, it's already 021h30 and I'm still at the computer, the same thing happened last night and then the PS2 sucked me in for a playoffgame (Pitsburg 1[me], Washington-3) and before I knew it, it was 23h30, much too late to be up....So I leave you now, but will be back demain.
Have a nice day.

Okay, i'm only giving myself 15 minutes to write tonight becasue it's late and I've spent the last three hours trying to put up Anita's birhtday pictures so everyone can see them and my computer keeps crashing, so you'll have to wait until I have more time and patience tomorow to see the pictures...sorry.
Today started off good. I woke up to puppy wanting to come up into my bed. I pushed the snooze and she snuggled up with me until the alarm went of again. Got out of bed and into the shower, put on CHOM, "Old time rock&roll" was on and I got jiggy in my underpants a la Tom Cruise....Then things got bad...I was running late and had to run to the train and I hate rushing..hate it. Had to get coffee instead of tea. That's how tired I was..I thought it was a good idea, that is until my stomach started doing backflips, but Pepto Bismol to the rescue! Anyways, the day was getting better until a certain friend came to visit. I don't know what it is but lately this person has been getting on my nerves. I'm sure she doesn't do it on purpose but she always manages to make me feel like total shit....like a nothing. We were really close a few years ago but since she went a way and got fucking married, she's really different in the way she thinks/acts/talks and her priorities have changed too. I know that it's normal to grow apart from your friends but IT SUCKS! I just can't seem to relate to her anymore. For her, you NEED to have money, you NEED to have a husband/boyfriend, you NEED to have a university degreee, you need a CAREER. But her ideas of a career are alll buisness related. She doensn't consider make-up artist a career, or visuals at gap a career. She thinks that everything "artsy" isn't a job, just a hobby and you wont get anywhere doing it, she said the same thing about graphic design...I mean WHAT THE FUCK? Anyways, back to my day..she comes in and already I'm not in the best of moods, I was feeling very sensitive, and she comes in and right away points out my "friends" (pimples) and makes a comment about how tired I look and at least I don't have to work hard today (meaning my job doesn't require much effort). Then she goes on about how she looked in her bank acount and she had ALL this money in it and she couldn't figure out where it was from and blah blah fucking blah..... She knows very well that her husband put the money in her account, even I knew that....she's just saying it to say she has money.. I realize I'm probably being far too sensitive about all this but my day was sucky and now I'm complaining so just let me..... After she left, I lost it and cried for a while because I was fed up of her making me feel "less than her" when really all I am is different than her. I don't think she sees that just because I don't live life like she does, I can be happy too. I could go on but I would only be bitching and making her seem really bad, which deep down she isn't, we just aren't the friends we used to be. I still like talking to her and going out but it'll never be like it used to. And I know that I've been able to deal with that fact, but I'm not sure she even realizes how different she is now....maybe it's me that's different, either way, we've just grow appart.....and it does make me sad cause we used to be so close and have so much fun, but now I feel pushed away, second, which I am I guess. Maybe it's me who's envious of her and I just don't know it....fuck it, who knows anyway, I just wanted to get that off my chest, that's all, and now I have andI feel better. Thanks.

I'll get thise pictures up soon, I promiss. I've got to go make lunch club for tomorow (pinaple terriyaki tofu on rice, no sandwhiches sorry Anita) and sew a shirt I bougth today so considering that it's 21h10, I'd better get on the ball.....

Just got home a little while ago. As it turns out I don;t have to work tonight which makes me very happy but a the same time I feel a little guilty becasue Anita DOES have to work...But she gets to pay me back when she has friday off and I don't. Work went pretty good last night, we ended up leaving early which was a good thing. Although I didn't get as much done as I would have wanted to, but really, what can you do right? Let me just take a moment to tell you about how freaking retarded and narrow minded some people are at work. It's almost as if loving hip-hop music and ONLU hip hop is a requirement to work there, that and being 17 and and full of yourself. I swear, from the moment we all got to work the radio was BLASTING the shittiest hip hop I've ever heard. I know that I'm sorta being just as narrow minded as them but it's my turn to complain so bear with me....Don't get me wrong, I like hip hop, what I don't like is ganster rap when the go around fucking this and that and killin' their bitches and drinkin' 40's, that's the crap I hate. I don't have a problem listening to someone else's music, I know we don't all have the same tastes and I totally respect that, but these "kids" at work don't have any respect at all for anyone else when they put their music on full blast. Go ahead and put your music on but at least give others a chance to put their stuff on too, they just can't get their minds around the fact that there are other kinds of music out there. And God forbib you ask them to turn it down. That's what I did and I got "looks" and wispers of people saying "that's the girl that doesn't like hip-hop..." for the rest of the evening. And even worse, don't even think about turning it off, cause they'll hate you, which may not be a bad thing.... One person in particular really got to me yesterday. Her name is Sanna. She's 4' 10", huge rack, booty to spare and the mentality of a hampster. She calls me "Sues" like there two of me and she squeaks a lot which will get on anyones nerves after working an 8 hour shift with her.. This girl's idea of working is inhaling and exhaling and even that can be a struggle for her. I don't think I saw her doing one thing last night that could qualify as being productive. She walked around all night talking to all her "home boys" about rap and how her nail just broke and how muck she misses her "daddy"....someone kill me now....I cannot stand this girl, she's too much! She dresses like a total 'ho' at work and serves all the male customers like they're "male customers" if you catch my drift. She's a pretty girl but becasue she's so slutty, it cancels out the prettiness and adds a few ugly points.. Someone help this girl please....
I going to go relax and start my NHL 2002season on my PS2...GIve you and update later.

I'm going to have to pull another disapearing act for a few days. I'm working a stupid 17h00-03h00 shift at work to do the new collection and therefore staying downtown. Just when I thought I had caught up on sleep, I have to go out and ruin it all. And if that wasn't bad enough, becasue I work today (saturday) and sunday, my week is going to be a screwed up on my head and my sleeping will be all off. At least I'll be workingh with Anita which makes things a little better. It's going to be one crazy week, I can feel it and I don't like it one bit.
I got up a little too early this morning and couldn't get back to bed. I was hoping to catch a few Z's this afternoon but Sylvie really wants to go for a walk. Which usually translates to: I want to talk about how much I miss my husband. Why don't you have a boyfriend? and why don't you go back to school?....great, just what I need, it's like talking to my bad granny....
I'm really wanting vacation time.. I thought I could hold out until summer but I had to ask myself: "What ARE you waiting for?". And it's true, I've benn putting it off for months now always thinking a better time will come, but what time is better? When I've completely burnt out? When I'm dead from exhaustion? There's no time like the present right? So I'm thinking that after this week of insanity, I'm going to take some time off. I'm not going to use ALL my vacation hours, but at least 10 days if not more.... I plan on whipping my gelatinus body into some sort of shape. I want to start jogging again now that the temperature is up and doing my yoga tape that I bought ages ago and only did once.....And I want to play on my PS2 because I miss it. I realize that PS2 will do nothing for my figure but it's keeps my hands in great shape! I haven't played in like weeks and that's sad considering I used to play 2-3 hours a day, minimum.... My manager lent me NHL 2002 like a month ago and I still haven't had a chance to play it, good thing he's in no rush to get it back. Well, I need to get my overnight bad packed and like I've mentioned before, it may take a while so I'm off and hopefully I'll write tomorrow, but most likely I'll be back on monday evening, don't forget to get your topics in for tuesday. For all you jerkies that have the week end off, enjoy it for me and have fun at the St-Patties parade.

So very annoyed. Just spent 25 minutes entering another blogg and then the computer freezes.... and now I'm left to re-type what I just wrote over again. Basically I was saying how tired I was from the lack of sleep we all had due to the birthday frestivities and how I took a 15h00 train home and was palnning on realaxing/showering/eating before I had to leave again to babysit Marnie and Dave pets in St-Henri. the train got me home at around 15h40 and when I checked the schedule the only trains back into town were at 15h55 or 20h55 (too late) so I had five minutes to pack all the things I need for a week away from home. If you know me then you'll know that I hate to pack in a rush. I'm the type who lays everything out into "days of the week" piles and brings "sudden change of weather" clothes or "just in case" clothes and then checks everything off a list when I put it in a bag. So I just tossed anything into a bad and hoped for the best. I of course forgot stuff, but liucky for me, my friend Sylvie who live a few streets away brought me the forgotten item on her way to school the next day. I love babysitting Marnie and Dave's pets. It's like a vacation for me. I go away fro a week of peace and quiet and get to do whatever I want when I want. I'm not saying I don;t do that here, but it's different there. I'm really on my own. It's kind of like going to the "how to live on your own" school. It's sorta prepping me for when I move out....if I ever move out, I mean would you leave if your mum made you pancakes on saturdays? They have the greatests pets. Roxy, a rottweiller is the sweetest dog I've met, mind you I wouldn't want her NOT to like me, this dog can cause major dammage and I can see how people would be affraid of her but she likes me a lot so I'm not worried. I feel totally safe with her and I'm quite certain that if I were to encounter trouble, she'd save my ass. The also have a cat, Lucky who is so cute! She's full grown but so small and her meows are really hiht pitched and she likes to come out from hidding only when I'm in the bathroom, on the computer or in bed. Very sweet pets.
Work has been realy busy this week with the new collection comming in this week end. It's good that it was so busy because I was sooo tired from the week end that if it hadden't been so busy, I would have fallen asleep. I still haven't heard from M.A.C. It's been two weeks and one day and still no word. I'm losing a little hope. Call me supersticious but I think that by telling people about the interview, I may have jinxed it.... I hope not. I'll give it more time but if I don't get it I may apply to another make-up counter even thought I really don't want to. I mean why would I settle for Doug Pitt when I could have of Brad? Am I right?
Besides that I've really taken advantage of my day off by doing absolutely nothing. I woke up at ten and forced myself back to sleep until 13h30. I woke up, had tea and nutella toast, watched t.v, took that hot shower, did two loads of laundry and watched a movie, Zoolander. It was funny in that day-off-no-brainer kind of way.. even mum laughed. And that bring us to now. Oh but before I go, let me tell you about what I saw this week. It was like finding a slice o'heaven..... I was at the depanneur in the mall, looking for peanut butter m&m's when out of the corner of my eye I see Hikory Sticks and go for them instead..(okay, I bought both now shut up....) And it was only when I was about to pay did I see it. I noticed the packaging was a little different and that the "smoky flavour" had been replaced by "new salt and vinegar"... I just about crapped my pants! Just when you think they can't make a good thing better, they go and make it salt and vinegary, my favorite... I gobbled those little suckers up in 30 seconds and they were delicious. Even thought my lips were shriveled from all the salt and my tongue was bleeding from too much viegar, I wanted more.....Try them, and if you don't like hikory sticks, keep your comments to yourself, I realize not everyone like 'em as much as the rest of us but please refrain from insulting them..(Steph I'm talking about you).
Well that should do it for today. Happy to be back.

*My forum is now functional soTopic Tuesdays are back on, just need you to give me a topic.
So run don't walk to my forum and submit your topic today!

Alright, thanks to Warren, I'm back to bloggin'! Now I get get back into my routine... It's been almost a week since I've been able to write and so much has happened since then. Last week-end was my friend Anita's 30th birthday and we had the best time! I swear the best part was watching how happy she was all day long, I think her face must have hurt the next day from all the smilling. All I can say is that she has wonderful friends that really love her and appreciate her friendship (that includes me!). We took her from one location to the next without her knowing and I have to say that every stop was great fun!
Stop #1: Ice skating... Most of the people who went hadn't been ice skating for like 10 years with the exception of Allen, who was alll pro like with his own skates and skate tighners. We were a little wobbly at first but then it came back, and we were less wobbly.. really fun but a little painful, my feet felt like they were on fire which could have been one of two things: either the rent-a-skate funk or my weak ankles. Sakting was so much fun infact, that we will be returning soon..or soonish!
Stop #2: Anita goes for manicure at Tonic
Stop #3: We all go back to Anita's to watch her open gifts and holly shit did she rake in the goodies! Very spoiled but very deserving of it all... And we watched a video that her friends and I made. It was like a "This is your life" type video with all (or most of) Anita's friends saying their story about how they met and how much they all love her etc...Which is the reason why I couldn't write much last week since that video took up all of my time, now don;t get me wrong I ain't complianing, trust me, Anita is well worth all the work! It was great, the best part of course was watching Anita break down into tears a the photo montage at the end....heh heh!
Stop #4: Dinner at Souvenir de Bankok on St-Catherine. Very nice Thai place. At this point the head count was up to 21. I was sitting next to one of Anita's friends (well I guess they were all Anita's friends but I don't want to say names cause some of you wont know who they are and I don't feel like expalining their story) and she suggested I order the chiken in peanut sauce with crispy spinach.. Sounds good, but litlle did I know that it also came swimming in mushrooms, needless to say I HATE mushrooms..Even thought I pushed them asside, their taste lingered in the peanut sauce and dinner was officially ruined, but the steamed rice was delicious! I was also given a Jewish name: Shushy. They gave it to me because most of Anita's good friends are Jewish, except me, and I was feeling left out so they gave me a Jewish name to make me part of the "in" crowd.. (I was so touched that when I got home I lit a canlde)
Stop #5: Jillian's ant the AMC (old forum) for disco/black light bowling. I think I bowled like 25 or something stupid like that....We then went downstairs where there's this great arcade andplayed games and talked until closing. We got back to Anita at around 03h30 and got to bet at around 05h00...
All i have to say is that whenb I turn 30, I want all of Anita's friends there. They are a great bunch and I had a lot of fun with them...
I realize that by being a week late writting this, some of you may have already read this in Steph or J's journals but just deal with it, it's my turn.
So happy to be back. I'm sure I'll write again today to fill you in on the rest of the week, but right now, all I can think about is hot shower and then putting on my favorite jammies that are still warm from the dryer and curling up on the couch and napping....Ahhhh how I love a day off.

I know no one can probably read this, but incase you can, I'm suffering some minor dificulties with my blog which will hopefully be resolved soon....
sorry
Shushy

I don't know what is going on wioth this computer, I'm not at home and I keep writing my entrty and they keep getting erased?? I think I've written the same thing like 20 times now and I' too zonked to re-write it again. Let me just say that the week-end was a great sucess anhd I WILL writwe about it, but since I'm not at home and this computer sems not to like me much, I m,ay notr write until I get honme on thursday or friday...If you are interested in the activities that were planned for Anita's birthday, then check out steph blog(the "steph" link to the left wikll take you there) she sums it up pretty well....

First off I'd like to appoligize for any panic I may have caused about the whole Survivor thing being moved to last nigh. It was on, but they were showing the first episode again for those who missed it the first time around. I was disapointed but I'm happy that's it's on tonight...I'm not comfortable with the cast yet so I can't really say who I want off, I'm thinking the fat one may go, not because of her size more because she's bossy and likes things her way..
Hate to disapoint you but I really have a lot of things I need to do and therefore will end this entry rather quickly....and I may not have tme tomorow to post at all, or saturday, but I'll be back on Sunday and then I'll have LOTS to say about the cazyness that's been going on....I can't wait. Oh and I tried to change the color of the links, they should be green or something...anyways you should check out the sites I mentioned yesterday now that you can see them.

Alright funky chickens...no blog tonight because:
#1- Survivor has been moved to tonight (Anita, I have taped it and will bring it to lunch club tomorow) ( I didn't watch it either)
#2- I have lots of "stuff" to do tonite
#3- I work at 07h00 tomorow and for those of you who don't know, that means I get up at 04h30....
So since it's already almost eight o'clock, I have to go, sorry about that but you'll just have to tune in tomorow when I'll hopefully have more time to write, at least I had the decensy to let you know thta I didn;t have time to write instead of not writting at all. That's how much I care.... But I will give you this: JOSHUA
( I think only Lucas and Chris will know why I named the link that..if anyone else can guess the movie that it's from, I'll give you $10.00)
*If your craving journals, then take a look at the two to the left, the links may be the same orange as the border but they are there (one is J and the other is Steph)
Very funny

*TOPIC TUESDAY-EPISODE ONE*
Today's topic: pets
Since the sender of this topic wasn't specific just what he/she wanted me to say, I'll just write about the pets that I've had. I'll call it :
"PETS: past and present"
I guess the first pet I can recall would be my kitten Clementine. I don't really remember her because I was too young but we do have a home video of me (maybe 2-3ys old) with her. In the video I sitting outside in a pile of leaves and I'm holding her by the underams.... you know when kids hold cats that they aren't very carefull....and I'm swinging her side to side and all around while making plane sounds...She's crying and kicking and then I say; "Is this cute dad?"....(I dunno, is torturing a cat cute?)Clementine was just the first of MANY cats I had..We also had miniature rabbits for a while, mine was called "Toulous" like the artist becasue he had stumpy legs.. Each of the kids in my family had one and one by one they die off until one was left, Penelope and we let her loose and she ended up living under our barn and having tons of babies with all the wild rabbits...We had quite a few bunnies actually.. One of them, Caramel, just disapeared from her cage..well she didn't really disapear, there was a huge hole in her cage, a fox or something got to her but that's not the story I heard..But by far my favorite cat and the one I have the fondest memories of was Tiggy. I got Tiggy from a neighbour who was a dog breeder, (she bred russian Wolfhounds) and one day two of her dogs got loose and came up to our property and ate my cats...So she bought me Tiggy. The first day I had him, he ran up a tree and stayed there for like six hours while my family tried to get him down...Once he was on the ground he was great, a real friend ( I wasn't very popular in school). I guess I had him for about two years or so before he ran away (we lived in the country and he was an outdoor cat). He ran away with this discusting stray cat who had half a tail and half a face from being hit by cars so often....gross. Anyway, my next pet was, ironically, a dog we got from the same breeder whose dog ate my cat the year before..Her name was Ann and she was fun I guess, If you call a dog that sleeps a lot and doesn't play fun. She used to run races and I guess she was just tired out or something... She passed on and it was a while before we thought about getting a new doggie.. It was a HUGE ordeal to decide to get a new dog and an even bigger ordeal to name her, but I won;t get into that-too many bad memories. We all had specifics that we wanted this new dog to have.Some of the criterial was:
-waggy tail - licky
-girl dog - active/playfull
-eyebrows - not too barky
-black, but not ALL black - floppy ears
So the search was on.... We visited a few SPCA'a and saw a lot of cute puppies but upon reviewal of their dosier, most of them were there because they bit and barked too muck and the rest were old doggies....We saw our puppy and made a few return visits to confirm that she was THE ONE. We weren;t too sure about her bacause they couldn't find her papers so we didn't really know why she was there. Indeed she was "the one", eventhough she barks the night through, jumps around like one of those hip hop cars and won't stop licking everything and anything, I love her, and I know the whole family loves her too. She's great. She's a great companion and freind and she knows when something is wrong so she'll curl up next to you and cuddle. She's just the greatest....Except when she eats my socks and underwear and then poops them out.

Well I se that Steph has taken it upon herself to change the color and placing of her link...Didn't I say "log out?"... At least my site doesn't sound like is being said by a robot..."mmmwel-come to the O-sh-un mm"....
Just making the jokes see..
Although I had the day off today, I was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to finish...uhh...stuff....Needless to say, I'm tired now and happy to be going to bed soon. I did manage to watch a show on TLC called "A personal story". It follows this person around who has decided to have some sort of plastic surgery. Today it was a young woman, like 21 I think, and she had these gigantic hooters that she wanted to get rid of because they interferred with her tap dancing or whatever...Anyways, she had a "laser bra" surgery?! Now I'm thinking the same thing you are..What the fuck is a laser bra. I don't really know either but what I got from the show was that it eliminates the need to remove excess skin therefore minimizing scarring and it's like a internal bra..I still don't really understand but they showed her 3 months later and she's these tiny b-c cup perky as all heck tits and she says she never has to wear bras anymore and the doctor said she will probably never wear one again. What the fuck? It all sounded too weird to me...
That's about it for my day today, I really can't say anymore...I had said too much already....plus I'm tired and am anxious for the laundry to be done so I can got to sleep in my comfy, soft, warm bed....Tomorow is topic tuesday, Unfortunutly since I no longer have the bravenet forum service this may be the ONLY installement of topic tuesdays...The last topic submitted was for me to talk about pets...good thing I've had a few.

Okay so I decided to remove my bravenet stuff for now so y'all can come visit. I guess I just don't have any patience right now. The day went by so fast. It's too bad because I still haven't done anything I was suposed to. My mum and I were looking for excuses all day to avoid having to do our work, luckily the dog show came on and since we HAD to watch it, we couldn't do the laundry/ironing/dusting/vacuming or dishes, too bad. I am so craving peanut butter m&m's. And you know what that means...well some of you may know what that means. What the crap man! I was just browsing around for that M&M site and they say that there are caramel M&M's...my only question is where and how much....must have, must eat, must expand......So now I ask for your help in locating these delicious treats...Anyone who can tell me where to find them please let me know via e-mail: samurai_sue@hotmail.com
This IS an emergency. This is NOT a joke.
will pay any price, will do anything.

Okay I don't know what's going on, but it seems that because of all the problems that bravenet is having my blog is un reachable even though a few people have been able to access it. I know I can't see it at all anymore...It doesn't even load up, it's as if my blog doesn't exist.... I can't decide weather to erase all bravenet services from my blog and just start over somewhere else, or just be patient and wiat it out for a few days, at least a few working days...
Sylvie came home today, just a few hours ago actually. Her trip was good, she had a good time (I'm sure). Must be nice to be able to go to Switzerland for a week. I mean who does that? You go to Toronto or Platsburg for a week, not fucking Switzerland. But her husband is there.... we wont talk about that now.....She said that about 20 minutes before landing lightening hit the wing of the plane and it made this big noise and the pilot had to brake so hard when they landed that she had to put her hands out to the seat infront of her so the seatbelt wouldn't cut her in half....Another reason why you'll never see me on a plane...EVER. Whatever, she's home and safe, that's what counts right?
So today was nice and quiet. I didn't get anything done that I needed to but Chris and Isabelle came over for brunch as I mentioned before and we had fun, that is until we did my taxes. I owe $200.00! For what? I don't know. But what I do know is:
$200.00 tax fee=no new leather boots=me sad and poor
What can you do right? I'd rather pay it now and have it over with.
I'm going to stop here not only because nothing has really happened today but because I don;t evebn know if you can reach my site or not...
until tomorrow then

This entry will be short not only because it's late and way past my bedtime but also because bravenet seems to be down therefore my blog isn't loading up properly. I hope that this problem will soon be resolved..Only time will tell..
Right so today was nice and relaxing, except that I forgot to turn my alarm off and it went off at 05h30. I managed to get back o sleep but it wasn;t as deep as it was and then puppy came in and licked and scratched until I made room for her on the bed. Let me just clarify something right now:
single bed+dog=no more sleeping
So I was up and out of bed by 09h00. I'll try and sleep in tomorrow morning if I don;t than I'm not sure when I'll catch up on my missing Z's.
Mum made french toast for breakfast and then we were off to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things I can't mention at this moment because they may or may not be for someone who's birthday is commink up...Anyways, the same thing always hapens at Wal-Mart, I go in knowing what I need and leave $50 poor-er because I've bough every impulse item there...I wantd to pick up some hickory sticks but they only had the Humpty-Dumpty version so I gave them a try....Dear God, if there is one thing I've learnt today it's that there is NO substitue for hickory sticks. The Humpty-Dumpty ones were so smoky flavored it felt like I just smoked a pack of Malboros'...And every time I burp, the taste is there, comming back to haunt me, keep in mind I ate these at 13h00 today and it's now 01h34....I'm NOT impressed.
I was happy to see that Saturday Night Live was back on at 23h30, no like in the past weeks where it had been replace by Futuramma. Now don;t get me wrong, I like the show but 5 episodes back-to-back is enough to make anyone not want to watch it again.
Asside from that I rented "Rock Star"(Mark Walhberg and Jennifer Aniston). It was good, not great, not bad but good. I would recomend it for a dull saturday afternoon. So I watched that and at my video store when you return a new DVD before six, you get an old DVD for free, we got Alfred Hitchcocks' "Topaz". It was alright, I had so much stuff I needed to be doing so I got really distracted and ended up watching only bits and pieces...I wonder what I was doing? I know someone who would like to know...
Arright it's moving up to 02h00 so I'd better cal it quits. My brother and his wife are comming over for brunch ( eggs benedict...mmm)so i need to help mum clean up. Until tommorow then.

Well this first episode of Survivor didn't disapoint, well it didn't disapoint me at least. It seems as though everyone has it in for Survivor 4, saying that's it's over and tired and how no one likes real T.V anymore blah blah.. The guy in the Gazette didn't seem too excited even though he claimed to be the show's #1 fan...Maybe it's repetitive in it's immunity challenges and rewards and maybe every contestant can be compared to previous contestants but isn't that why we watch? To see who the next Jerry will be? Or who's gonna eat some sort of slippery brain-type goo? I know I watch because of those things and because I love to talk survivor on fridays with all the fans at work. It's conversation, it's gossip it's a great show. Sure it's lost some of it's "shock value" and surprise but it's T.V right? Meant to entertain, so don't question it, just watch the show and enjoy it, you don't like it, then watch Frasier or freaking TLC, but don't go calling yourself a #1 fan and diss your suposidly favorite show. I know I had fun watching last night. It's like my mom said: "It's like comming home". My thursdays are back to Survivor mode meaning I'm either with Anita or at home with the phone turned off from 20h00 to 21h00. It's a little hard to say who I like and don't yet because it'll take me at least 4 episodes to remember all their names and stuff so for now I'll leave it at that and give them all a fair chance, with the exception of Sarah who I think is a total ho'....Anyways, I find that this review is always good to look at on fridays, usually he has the same opinions as I do about the previous episodes...
Today went fairly well and most importantly it went fast. I felt very awake and alert this morning (perhaps due to a slightly chilly shower), however this feeling wore off by 10h30 or so but was revived after a filling luch at Move and Pick..no lunch club today only because I was at my interview yesterday (Move and Pick thursday) so we made up for it today. I had a chicken ceasar salad with a cream or vegetable soup on da side...delicious.
Most of the day was spent ironing and singing along to the "I am Sam" soundrack ....My favorite days are like today, just Anita and I shooting the shit and listening to mussak....oh yeah and some work too.
I'm really happy that the week-end is here. I look foward to sleeping in and doing next to nothing all day tommorow. Actually I have a long week-end ahead of me, I took monday off and Anita was soooooooo nice to say it would be alright even though we have to do a window event that day..How will I ever repay her? I'm sure she'll think of somethink.
I can only assure her that it'll be worth it.
Well I'm going to go watch 20/20, it's an expose on weight loss info-mercials and they show that ab-tronic thing that zaps your falbby abs into super abs-o-steel....Looks funny and Pop Stars 2 is on as well as Miss USA 2002..All great shows but all on at the same time...unfortunate.
*Hey Chris I found this and thought of you
