Officially on Vacation

So I am now officially on vacation. A week and a half without having to go to work, unfortunately I have several things that I have to do, including Dr.'s appointment, eye appointment, car appointment and oh yeah... an exam. Sounds like a great vacation eh? And ontop of that I have to sit and wait to hear about the job I applied for. I was told today that I was the girl for the job but.... I can't work full time... though I made it quite clear that the only reason I could not work full time was because of my disablilty. Anyway, my HR person is trying to talk them into hiring me even though I can't work the full time hours. So now I have to wait... I hate waiting... especially since I've already been told that I would be great for the job and all. So now it's upto the Fates... I'll try not to hold my breath though. A pessimist to the end.

Happy Zombie Jeus Day... ;)

So Easter weekend has been busy... I decided to stay in town as I will be heading to the parents durning the week for some much needed vacation time. On Friday I had a yummy, yummy roast beef dinner at Michelle and Adam's and absolutely yummy dessert that Laura brought. You had to roll us around after all that yummy yummy goodness. Saturday I was up and out early and managed to get the dog out, some groceries done and the dog to the PARK all before noon. In the afternoon Michelle, Adam and I went to Zellars, bought the yarn for Amber's baby blanket that I'm making, and then Murphy got to go to the PARK again... very happy puppy...Then we had a 'very healthy' dinner and did some knitting then we decided to rent a movie... It was a sort of odd mix of movie and Discovery channel...it focused on physics. Anyway, can't really describe it. Today was cleaning and another trip to the PARK for some Chuckit and pictures of Adam in his Manly sweater. After all the ball chasing Murphy still had enough energy to chase a pretty young thing around the park... he's such a dork. But now he is all sleepy goodness. I'm so happy spring weather has finally made it's appearance. Though I could do without all the mud.

It's Finally Finished...

My scarf is officially finished...Maybe now I can start something for Amber's baby...at least I have about 8 months to finish whatever it is I'm going to make.

Fetch and Flash...

So we finally went out with Murphy and the Fetch and Flash... This thing is amazing, all red and flashy. But Murphy being Murphy just had to be a dork... On several occassions he 'missed' where the ball went. Then he would proceed to run all over the place while looking directly at the flashing red ball... he's so silly. He also came home all muddy... I wish we could skip the wet and muddy and go straight to warm and dry. But it's all worth it, he's all curled up on the couch sleeping, he's so adorable. A tired puppy is a good puppy :)

The Clogged Drain Saga continues...

As the days get warmer my carpet is getting wetter. Joy of joys, to come home to water seeping in again. But I won't let it overshadow my weekend... as it was actually quite good. Thursday my mom was in town so we went for dinner and then she dog-sat for me while I went over to M and A's place for some Irish beer and driving. M. got Murphy a Fetch and Flash, which we still haven't tried out...;pppp Murphy is soooo disappointed. Anyway on Saturday night I went out for Girls night with MissK, Sara, Becky, Alison and Sean(MissK's and Alison's brother). We went to Shmooze, kinda a 25 and over type club... it was interesting to say the least. Not really into that sort of thing. But it was fun to be out with the girls (and Sean). I want pictures MissK... :)

I now have an interview for a new position at work next Monday... so everyone wish me luck ('cause I need it, right M? ;p) and good vibes this week. It would be a step up in pay (wihich I could really use) and much more interesting than what I am doing now. Oh yeah on a work note I finally received my CPA Level II results - I PASSED - yeah me. Now I just have to get off my ass and study for my Anthro mid-term and final that are coming up. BLAHHHHHHHHH

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Passing on a little Luck 'o' Murphy to everyone.

And the Quizes get passed on...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Massage

Do I really need to say anymore?

Worst Luck Ever...

So I have been dubbed the 'friend with the worst luck ever'... Feel free to read past posts to see why this momentous event has happened. From flooding to skunks to more flooding and lots of just crappy little things inbetween and not to mention some of the really crappy stuff that has happened prior to starting my blog. Anyway I accept my award with all the dignitiy one can in these situations and proceed to spill as much coffee as possible;). Thanks to Michelle and Adam for inviting me over on Monday (even though I decided to stay home and feel sorry for myself) and for having me over last night for Swiss Chalet and some driving and for the Stich'n'Bitch knitting book...a you got flooded again? present. It still amazes me that little things can make such a big difference. Thanks again, and again and again etc... :)

Anyway, this morning I woke up so sore that I could barely drive... I'm calling for a massage appointment first thing this morning. MMMMMMMMMMM massage...... so hopefully I can get an appointment for Friday.

Trying the photos again...one of my Aunt's many horses.



Still having problems with getting photos of Amber's B-Day/telling us she was pregnat party... sorry everyone I will eventually get it working. Please enjoy the pony picture in the meantime.

Clogged Drain Part III

So to top off my self-pitying day guess what I came home to... 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count... Yup you're right if you said that I got flooded again. At least it's not as bad as the last time (I'm trying to find the positive in this). Maybe that skunk(no dogs were sprayed in the making of this day) that we saw this morning on our daily walk was forshadowing to what today was going to be like. All I want to do is crawl into bed and cover my head and cry.

I wanted to post some pictures but it would seem that I can't even do that today.

Just can't get ahead...

I just can't seem to get ahead... health wise, money wise or job wise. I always seem to end up two steps behind. My life seems to be a huge exercise in futility.

Drugged and Driving

So I have finally managed to become a poster child for a Black Flag song... I'm so proud of me. The last couple of days have been a pain in the back...literaly. So yesterday I decided it was time to bring out the big guns of OTC (that's over the counter) drugs. MMMMMMMMMMMMM Robaxecet.......mmmmmmmmm extra strength........Anyway, over I go to Michelle and Adam's for dinner and driving and wow was I driving. CONES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the pylons, they are so pretty and distracting and fly everywhere when you hit them. At one point I said who knows what and of course was being mocked by Michelle which just made me laugh and then laugh some more, I laughed until I cried...which makes driving very difficult. Needles to say I totally lost the race. Of course hitting the start/finish line post, the several times I almost went flying into the pit lane and well flying all over the track probably didn't help. But heeeeeeee it was fun as hell. I think I just might have to try it again tonight.

I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE SNOW...

There was once a time that all this snow would have caused great excitement and waxing of skiis, but now.... Every morning this week I have woken up to copious amounts of snow... all of which needs to be shovelled,sweeped or done away with in some manner. This is taking it's toll on me... Really I'm just sick of it. I can't take the dog for a walk because I have to dig my way out of my apartment and then dig out my car in the mornings then when I get home I have to dig my way back in. Of course this leads to less walks for the dog because I'm laid up on the couch after all is said and done (at least I'm getting some knitting done). I would have been completely impressed yesterday at the efficentcy of the city to actually plow our street in a timely manner (the first time ever). However, that means that the spot were I put my car, which I had dug out first thing that morning, was plowed in. So I arrived home to find that I had nowhere to park, anywhere on my street(good luck getting a spot after 4 pm let alone in the winter), so I had to park a good 4 blocks away. Good thing I had taken my cane with me in the car that morning because that walk could have been pretty crappy without it. So in the end I shovelled out the spot just enough to fit my car in, well sort of. I'm a horrible sick person... I asked M and A if they could give me a hand but they had been busy so I didn't hear from them, so out I go to do it myself... No one tell my Dr. 'cause I'll get in trouble. I really hate the fact that I have to ask for help for things that I used to be able to do without so much as a second thought. So if I start complaining about how much my back or hip hurts today... just remind me that it's my own f'ing fault. It probably would have hurt less if I had left the car where I had parked in the first place and just walked over there this morning. Ah well what can a girl do.
