I’m a party pooper!
My parents have gone out to celebrate New Year’s with some friends.
(Yes, I’m still living at home with the parentals if you hadn’t realised.)
Matt and I are home alone.
We should be partying it up, doing lots of crazy shit, right? Nope.
Matt’s just serving up dinner now (spaghetti and meatballs made from scratch – yum!), and [...]
Another year over…
Well, tomorrow is the last day of 2007. I can’t say I’m terribly upset to see the end of this year.
This has been the most challenging year of my life. And although it’s been troubling, distressing, and downright painful, I’m proud of myself for making it through.
What have I done this year that I’m most [...]
Christmas Hangover!
Christmas is over for another year.
I just wasn’t feeling it this year, which was sad. I didn’t start feeling Christmasy until about 7:30pm Christmas night. Better late than never, I guess.
And, like many other people, I’m assuming, Boxing Day brings pain with it. The majority of this pain will be alcohol induced – but mine isn’t. [...]

Effective immediately, employees should keep in mind the following guidelines in compliance with FROLIC (the Federal Revelry Office and Leisure Industry Council).

Happy Birthday to me…
Happy birthday to me… the big 2-0. Woo.
I went to work today, of course. I can’t really call up after my first day and say “hey, it’s my birthday, count me out today”, can I? Well, I could, but it wouldn’t look good.
I did treat myself, though. Some of the girls decided that they wanted [...]
First day and Birthday!
First up, I want to say a very happy birthday to the lovely Katie. Just think, if you’d been born 24 hours later, we would have been birthday twins! I hope you got spoiled… and judging from your birthday post, you were!
As for my own birthday, which is now only several hours away… it’s looking up. On [...]
Birthday blues
Well, in two days, it’s my birthday.
I’m not overly excited about it… which is a first. I’ve always been counting down the days, making sure everyone around me knows it’s coming, and dropping hints about what I want gift-wise.
This year, I really don’t give a shit. Is that sad?
I’m still very upset about losing my Nan, of [...]
Friday’s Feast #10
Appetizer
Make up a word and give us its definition.
“Masapotanga” – a word that my Dad has used for years. It’s used when he’s excited about something… so I guess it means “wow!”
Soup
What is currently your favorite song?
At the moment… Leona Lewis – “Bleeding Love”. I hadn’t heard it at all until yesterday, when they played it [...]
You know you have an addiction when…
You know you have an addiction when you enter your favourite clothing store three hours earlier than usual on a Thursday night and both shop assistants turn to you and say:
“You’re early!”
I then proceeded to have a conversation with one of them about various birth control measures (I’d just been to the doctor for my [...]
The Christmas Spirit
I’m only just starting to feel Christmasy… which is pretty slack, considering it’s only 12 days away.
Today I did something that really boosted my Christmas spirit.
I wrote a Christmas card… to the company I used to work for. Because:
1) I have no hard feelings, although I probably have every right to, and,
2) My old boss will [...]
