Superstitions

Question: If a black cat crosses your path what is your reaction? Do you get those stand up hairs on the back of your neck? Do you try and get ahead of the black cat?

This morning a black cat crossed my path, I knew that I wouldn't get ahead so I just deemed that today would be a bad day...then a white cat crossed my path. Does this mean that the white cat deleted the black cats crossing?

My hrmm for the morning.

Sooo...the weekend.

I went to the bank Saturday morning. Restarted another GIC and the RRSP and created a budget beginning March 1 so that I will have $10,000 by next March. I'm nervous but I believe I can do it and not go too crazy....*fingers crossed*

Went home, wanted a nap but didn't. Left to go and meet Sprout and Robin, came back because I forgot my contacts...left again...went right to the condo instead of the liquor store because it was pouring rain.

Met Sprout, saw his pelvic superman symbol tattoo. I just didn't know that he liked superman even...I feel kinda like a bad sister. We went for lunch at the Cactus Club and then the liquor store where I picked up 2 kinds of sourpuss for the party. It's kinda sis-in-law and my thing I think....

The boys left and I cleaned up a bit. Put out leis and chocolate caramel popcorn from The Nutman and some malibu filled chocolate. Cracked the glow in the dark stir sticks...the girls were supposed to be there at 6. *sigh* from 6 to 7 they kept calling my cell for directions. Totally sucked because I don't drive and I could only say call me when you get to the downtown core...I don't know where the turn off on Hwy 1 is...gawd...I was so frustrated.

So then then all get there and rush up to the condo...downing drinks like there's no tomorrow because the reservations at Steamworks were for 7. Get to Steamworks and I call 2 who were driving. Kay...straight stretch from Hamilton/Homer down to Waterfront...they ended up in English Bay...finally they arrive...we have a good dinner...drank some Mohitos which were horrid but made me think of the awesome lunch we had at the airport that time....and then we cab it to Library Square. Where the fox n' firkin was...now a club. No cover before 10. All but the 2 who I think could get lost in a square room did not have to pay. They were late. We had rounds of shots...I got frustrated and had a beer and a shot of tequila. I watched sis-in-law flirt and oh my goodness can that girl drink...it was too funny. Danced, met Brendan and Dave...one Aussie and one really drunk Canadian guy who just wanted to rub on me. *shudder*

At 1230 2 of the 8 wanted to go because their feet hurt and they were tired. I couldn't get anyone ready to go. Finally I had enough...ttold them 5 minutes or they could call me and I'd let them in.

Back to the condo...in pjs and the girls some are ready for bed and some are talking and laughing really loud. At 230 I because like the housematron of a bunch of girl guides keeping them shushed. 3 to a bed (x2), one on the couch, one streched between the chair and ottoman (she was tiny ... Hee hee...her name was Tina). They all complained it was hot...I was freezing.

I shared a bed with Amy (bitchy n' grouchy when tired and ready for bed) and Ashley (too freakin' hot and too movey). I was up at 311, 426, 615 and 820. Finally at 820 I went and sat in a chair, legs flung over the side with every blanket I could find and we all crashed to 1030. Then they all freaked cuz the wanted to be gone by 11.

They were out the door and away by 11. I couldn't go because I hadn't been given instructions on what to do with the keys. The door didn't have a deadbolt, no mailslot and I couldn’t slide the key under the door. I dozed on and off waiting to hear from Jared and Robin. Finally at 230 they called and said just take the key and we'll meet you for lunch tomorrow.

I got home at 4...kinda bitched and whined to 5..crashed to 630 then sis-in-law and bman took a break from unpacking and came over for pizza with Luc and I. We all looked very tired...sis-in-law was totally hungover. They left and I was in bed by 9.

*phew*

I'll see if I can get permission from the girls to post pictures. Pretty tame I must say.

Blog Blurbage..it's looong

So much I want to blog about and it's all jumbled so I'll just mish mash it all together...kay..ready.

Sis in law...be warned there will be some sex stuff.

Christmas and New Years zoomed right by it seemed. Quicker than quick with awesome gifts, fun with friends etc. One of MyLuc's gifts was concert tickets to see 'The Arrogant Worms' February 1, 2007. We are going with friends and I still have not paid her for the tickets. I keep meaning to but when next I see her I say...probably at the concert if'n we can't hook up.

Last week chatting with a friend from my hometown we were talking about Grade 10 and under stuff...cuz I moved away in Grade 10. We were talking about a mutual friend and wouldn't you know it...lo and behold when I was picking up the gift for sis in law...I passed her, her husband and their son. I haven't seen this girl in like 15 years and we talked and talked until I noticed her hubby getting the let's get going look. We exchanged numbers and are going to hook up. Weird eh.

Then when the transit was down...one of those days...I was trying to call MyLuc to say I'd be late and saw a former coworker from the beginnings of my legal secretary days. As MyLuc picked up I hung up. We talked until she was running late for yoga. Again, exchanging numbers to hook up soon.

Last night on my way home with groceries this guy knocked on his van window and I pulled the Ipod earbud out of my ear and was ready to give directions and lo and behold it was an ex bf of my uncles. I called MyLuc said I'd be home at 630, went up, had some coffee and reconnected. It was so very cool. We're going to try for dinner soon.

*shakes head* Weird but very cool.

Talking over the day with MyLuc and then crying uncontrollably because I was thinking about my Gran and realizing that she has passed. I felt so lonely. MyLuc didn't know what to do so I grabbed SaraSue from the closet where she's been since Gran passed and hugged her so tight. I've had her since I was 5 and she's my best friend. Do you have something like that? I also found some quotes and a song lyric that I wrote thinkin' of my Gran:


Margaret Bonano - It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day basis.

Mark Twain - Whoever is happy will make others happy too.

Robert Frost - In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life; it goes on.

Paul Anka - And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain; My friends I'll say it clear, I'll state my case of which I'm certain; I've lived a life that's full, I've travelled each and ev'ry highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

Waking MyLuc up for some early nookie...and it was bad. Just as I was about to ...well you know...his stupid cell phone went off with the rooster alarm and I didn't. He did but I didn't. Up he got and went to work and I was so.....grrrr....You know. Then I went to sleep, missed my alarm, called in that I'd be late, was crossing the street to the bus stop with another guy and he was hit by a car. Now if I had been on his side it would've been me. As it was this old guy was like "I didn't see you" I had to give my info about what happened etc. So later I was squished on the skytrain with this lady going on and on about smokers, excema and people with backpacks. Twenty minutes. I finally turned off my Ipod cuz I didn't want to turn it louder and I couldn't really hear it. I walked in very late. My day was not a good one and it was only Tuesday.

Then I forgot to pick some stuff up for dinner and we had a little tiff cuz I wanted to make soup and sandwiches but then realized that I had forgotten tomatoes and lettuce and the pastrami for MyLuc would not go with the soup I bought and I didn't want to make salad. So he was pissy and watching the All Star Game...which I didn't want to watch so I went into the bedroom to watch Season 1 of Veronica Mars...which leads into

My being totally excited about going to HMV to spend my christmas gift cert, picking up Season 1 of Veronica Mars getting home and showing MyLuc only to be told that we watched two episodes and I thought it was stupid. *sigh*

I went to the bookstore to pick up books and maybe a game to do while on vacation. February 17, 2007 there are 21 people going to Hawaii to attend MyLuc's sis' wedding and then cruise for 7 days on the Pride of Aloha. Freestyle cruisin'...no formal nights. So the books are in the suitcase, in their bag so I don't read them...cuz I'm a readin' fanatic and a handheld suduko game for me to try but probably for MyLuc. Putting it on my Visa cuz "It's for the trip". I so gotta stop that thought process.

I'm going shopping for a wedding outfit, shorts, shoes and a few other things for the cruise after my Facialicious at Skoah with Strongarm and then we'll go see Stomp the Yard. It totally looks like a movie just for us.

Purchasing a $50 card from a guy who came around for 2 nights in Las Vegas at a hotel and then realizing that the flights to Las Vegas are like $350 alone. *shakes head* That's totally biting me in the ass.

Getting the condo from Sprout and his bf for sis in law bach and then finding out they are coming to town right then. They're leaving for the night, the bach night, then coming back the next day.

Trying to get the condo in Whistler from MyLuc's aunt and then asking her when she wants to be paid and finding out that I won't find out that I have it until April...when I want to pay for it before then because there is a guy coming who will pay full price. I will freakin' pay full price but then we can't eat. *sigh* MyLuc was soo..excited. He knows I want to go away to celebrate our 4th year of being together, he was going to pay for a day of skiing. And now...who knows what I can do that's romantic. I'm sure there is alot of stuff but I really, really wanted to go to Whistler. *sigh*

MyLuc and I have date night. We're going to see Pan's Labrynth. It looks awesomely scary...kinda like the Grimm's Fairytale one I'm thinking. I'll let you know.

Thanks for reading. *HUGE HUGS*

‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘
It was snowing heavily and blowing to the point that visibility was almost zero when the little blonde got off work.

She made her way to her car and wondered how she was going to make it home.

She sat in her car while it warmed up and thought about her situation. She finally remembered her daddy's advice that if she got caught in a blizzard she should wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it.

That way she would not get stuck in a snow drift.

This made her feel much better and sure enough in a little while a snow plow went by and she started to follow it.

As she followed the snow plow she was feeling very smug as they continued and she was not having any problem with the blizzard conditions.

After an hour had passed, she was somewhat surprised when the snowplow stopped and the driver got out and came back to her car and signaled for her to roll down her window.

The snow plow driver wanted to know if she was all right as she had been following him for a long time. She said that she was fine and told him of her daddy's advice to follow a snow plow when caught in a blizzard.

The driver replied that it was ok with him and she could continue if she wanted, but he was done with the Wal-Mart parking lot and was going over to Sears next.

A priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and give a little speech at the dinner. He was delayed, so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited.

"I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs, and gave VD to his sister. I was appalled. But as the days went on I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people."

... Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk.

"I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession."

Moral: Never, Never, Never Be Late

Water and Wine Education

It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E. Coli) Bacteria found in faeces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of Poo.

However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine , beer (or other liquors) because alcohol has to go through a distillation process of boiling, filtering and fermenting.

WATER = Poo
WINE = HEALTH

Free yourself of Poo, drink WINE!!!

It is better to drink wine and talk shit than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I am doing it as a public service.

A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards. The little boy asked why he wore his collar that way.

The man, who was a priest, said, "I am a Father." The little boy replied, "My Daddy doesn't wear his collar like that."

The priest looked up from his book and answered, "I am the Father of many." The boy said, "My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn't wear his collar that way."

The priest, getting impatient, said, "I am the Father of hundreds" and went back to reading his book.

The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said, "Maybe you should wear your pants backwards instead of your collar.
