Friends
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.

Addictions
I don't know when it happened but it did. I always liked salad as a snack, with meals, just cuz and now cheese and rice I want it all the freakin' time just so I can shake that bottle of Renee's Asian Sesame dressing. This dressing is so tasty that I mentioned to MyLuc just pour it into a shot glass. I mean c'mon now....I've like french, ranch even with the occasional vinagrette but now I can't get enough of the Asian Sesame. I'll eat my salad last so I can savor the veggies and swipe through the dressing on my plate. I'll even run my finger along my plate to get that last drop...sad really.
Tonight is family dinner at an East Indian restaurant in Vancouver. Family being MyLuc, his 'rents, sis and fiancee and perhaps his bro. Now Matthew shows up occasionally at family dinners at restaurants but not often. I think it might have something to his sleeping during the day when he isn't in school so he can be up at night on his computer playing games or perfecting his poker skills. *shrug* Something like that. Also invited but not yet confirmed is MyLuc's uncle J. Now uncle J and MyLuc work together at the wonderful company of Xantrex. uncle J I guess is one of the workers and the first aid guy. If you stood MyLuc, uncle J and MyLuc's dad together you'd guess wrong which one is his dad. Just cuz. MyLuc takes in height from his mom's dad, Grandad Mel and his features from his dad's side, example uncle J. Weird really.
It's the first day of the long weekend and I want to play. Play cards, play bunnies, play gamecube or xbox...just play. No tv, no movies (although last night we did watch Nanny McPhee (which I quite enjoyed which MyLuc was bored) and this morning a Korean revenge flick Lady Vengeance (interesting but not enough for me to watch again). So far...no playing, no games, no laughter just wake up, eat breakfast, veg, eat lunch...tadahh...here I am.
MyLuc went out this morning and purchased a 4gig (I don't know if that's correct but it's got more memory than my 1 one) and now is situated at his computer downloading music, surfing Itunes and well...at his computer.
*sigh*
My week was okay. I've had some rough patches since being back with my boss Tom and the girls. It's like when I was away everyone clicked and now I have to get back 'in'. It sucks really. We had a staff meeting and they were talking about what had happened while I was away...to each other...whenever I tried to speak up I'd be spoken over. There are only 4 staff, three secretaries/assistants and reception/whatever that word is. That's it. 4 of us and 2 were the talkers, I was trying the other really....trying not to fall asleep in her chair. Did we get anything accomplished...nope...nada...zip. It sucked.
Other than my getting into a size 18 jeans (from a size 26 sept 05) and trying not to wear them each and every day, nothing much has happened. I will keep trying tho' to update as much as I can be it early at work, during work, or at home. I'm thinking the first two would work the best.

Read at Shasta McNasty
"Every single relationship you have is a reflection of how you feel inside you. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings. Every relationship you have and every interaction with every person, is a reflection of your own thoughts and feelings in that very moment."
Kinda gives me shivers and makes me glad for the uniqueness that is me.

Countdown = 18 Days
In 18 days I will turn 30. In 16 days *fingers crossed* my Mom will fly from somewhere either in the Kootenays or Alberta and join me for this occasion.
Having my Mom come down/over/up from the Kootenays has been in the works for 3 years. We speak every second Tuesday either her calling me or vice versa. It's the general how ya doin' conversation with the ending. See you (now... in November). I made the executive decision to call her every Tuesday. I am super paranoid that she isn't going to come down and that would be totally disappointing.
I know that in other entries I have mentioned how things go wrong and how I try not to act too disappointed when they do...cuz I know they will.
This birthday will hopefully be a good one. My 27th I had to put my cat down...on my day. My 28th my little bro Sprout disowned me and my 29 I had a hiatus with a good friend. I am really really hoping that this one will be a good one.
Everyone wants to know the plans and it's really quite simple. Tentatively if my Mom comes in on Thursday we're taking her for sushi. Quite the experience for my Mom and I good one I hope. Friday, I'm going to take my best friend and my mom on the West Coast Express out to Mission where MyLuc's Mom will pick us up. Friday and Saturday we'll be out with MyLuc's family. My Mom will meet them for the first time and I really hope that things go well. Sunday back home for a dinner MyLuc will cook (I hope) and then Monday she's going home.
That's the plan. *fingers crossed*
The Weekend
Saturday was my get up and go day. I was up by 8. 5 loads of laundry. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom spick and span. Then I wanted to veg. We had our friend After Eight (although I need a new nick now...her phone deal has changed and After Seven doesn't work) and her beau Cliff came for dinner. Steak, garlic mashed potatoes, veggies and Bumbleberry pie and ice cream for dessert. I admit I didn't eat the pie or ice cream, I waited and had a fruit popsicle. Much better for me.
I had some blue moments on Sunday, I am trying to lose weight and get somewhat toned for the cruise in February and o'course for myself. I decided that I needed to shop. So away Strongarm and I went. I desperately needed jeans. I grabbed the 24s and the 22s and the 20s. I didn't have a clue what size just that the 20s I was wearing were too big and o'course low cut and sometimes the stores sizing is weird. I walked out of the store in 18s and they were a little big but I didn't want to push it too much and get the 16s...they'll come. I was/am ecstatic. Strongarm and I talked and honestly if I can get back to the size at prom 13 I'll be at a healthy size. Weight wise now I'm at 235...down from 265 last September. I admit I'm not doing as much exercise as I like but the eating healthy part...very easy. I know that if I crave something tho'...give in...otherwise the craving will overtake you and then you'll feel totally guilty. Yep, I've been there.
I'm going to be going on a mini-shopping spree come January. I need an outfit for the wedding and o'course clothes that will fit properly without suspenders and a belt. *fingers crossed* Here's hoping.
Thanks for reading and thinking of me.
*HUGE HUGS*
This Sunday I celebrated my friend Chin Chew's 26th birthday. He had it all planned out by email. Hiking, Boston Pizza and then bowling. I decided on dinner and bowling and was told that I was not to push it bowling...the first really physical thing since I hurt my back. Dinner was great. Shared and appetizer and then dinner...had two double Long Islands and then off to bowling. $14 for 3 games and shoe rental. I only made it 2 games and 2 turns into the 3rd when I decided to stop. I was starting to ache.

November 2, 2006
Holy Smokes time flies. I was working too much to blog but had a ton of blog fodder in my heard til the "next time" I was on the computer. Was on the computer but unable to use the internet. Couldn't use the computer for a few weeks and ta dah.....it's November 2, 2006.
The last couple of months really haven't been that good to me. First my Gran dies...though that was kinda expected and then o'course when it happened noone expected it. Then I get so stressed out at work that I kinda head into that "blue" area that I said I was never going into again and then o'course once I was feeling better I rolled over in bed to snuggle MyLuc and two discs in my lower back squish nerves heading down both my legs and I'm unable to work or sit for about a month. *Phew*
This is my second week back at work...thank goodness. I didn't get paid when I was off work because I had used all of my vacation and sick time earlier this year. I didn't get EI because naive me didn't know you have to submit more than I did. Appeal it...nah...I'm back at work. We didn't think I would be back before the cat scan on Nov. 22, but lo and behold here I am at work, sitting at a computer...tho' my typing speed is sucking and of course I'm making a ton of errors.
So what'd I do to heal you may ask...or if not...anyone who knows me knows that I'll tell you anyways. I went to this awesome Neurostructural Technique (NST) person named Valerie. THe only way I can explain what she did is to say she pressed nerves and rolled my muscles across my bones. She is a or was a student of the Bowen Technique which MyLuc had told me waaay back when I was hurt to try and go see a person. I didn't. I suffered and then one of his aunts called and said go see this person. I've now seen Valerie about 4 times and I feel amazing. Little to no pain in my lower back and legs. Valerie also studies a few different types of alternative therapy. MyLuc and our friend Girly Girl have gone to see her. MyLuc says she didn't do too much and my Girly Girl...I haven't talked with her.
So that's what's been going on. I'm going to try and blog more not only cuz I have a lot in my head waiting to be typed out but also because I'm on the computer more now.
*HUGE HUGS*
Thanks so much to those who emailed and texted me wondering what's going on. I like that I have made so many friends.
