I am tired and for some reason feel the need to update this blog from time to time so I am going to do a slightly annoying bullet post about random stuff - enjoy.

Highlights from the weekend:

Feeling WAY better - WAY better

"Jimmy, I'm not even hungry anymore Jimmy, please take us home..." This was a funny highlight when in actuality the circumstance was rather scary

"Are you 21?" This was a highlight for TG...that and the "knuckle up" a la Howie Mandel offered by the youngster

Rachchero chicken taco from Taco Bell and Donatos cheese pizza

My TFC t-shirt fitting better then it did last summer

Lowlights from the weekend:

TFC loss and all circumstances that lead to that

16'ish hours on a bus - love you TG but seriously that may have been a little too long

Things I am waiting for (in a good way):

The floors to be done - getting to that point and beyond may prove to be a bit of a challenge but I have faith we'll make it - I guess I am just mad at myself

The TFC home opener April 19th

Deciding on what to do for our vacations this summer

Getting my tax return - 10 days my ass!

Notes:

Sometimes TG says all the right things - even when I doubt the future and drive myself crazy, then get mad at things that are out of my control, he always reels me back to reality.

Happy birthday to Apes - low key casual IS best and I'll see you this weekend!

Congrats to D and R - they bought the house of their dreams! Good luck with everything and we're here for you.

S&W - good luck with the move this month and getting you ass kicked at BMO! Like I said, only good can come from this - I am sometimes jealous of your courage.

Aim - finally moving to the loft this month! This means I get a wine rack and another friend in the city! Now if she could only find a non-stalking, non-married, non-pill popping, average sized penis of a man with a job to enjoy time with. You must have a sense of humor and a video game system. If you fit the profile leave me a comment and I will out you in touch!

Conversation of note:

"This is that new probiotic cheese, it has cultures in it that help with digestion I guess...I'm using it for nachos"
"Blah, blah, blah. All I hear is 'fartjuice'..."
(A few days later)
"That quote should replace the quote at the top of you blog..."
"Umm...no. I am supposed to be an intriguing urbanite not some chick that talks about farting"

I think I am failing and need to come up with some more intriguing posts so if you have a question for me or topic you'd like me to cover (or advice? who do I think I am?!) leave me a comment (anonymous or not) and I will reply when I get a chance - this could be really good or really bad.

Cheers!

"The Future Is Looking Bright!" - TG

I am optimistic that spring is just around the corner! So much so that I decided not to wear socks or stockings with my flats to work today - it was a bold move and one that I regret a little since my office is friggin' freezing! My cute painted toes (another effort to induce spring - paint your toe nails pink) are frozen.

This week and weekend so far has turned out magnificent. TG and I have relaxing yet fun plans for the long weekend and work has gone by quick despite my boredom.

TG got good news at his job - very good news and I am very proud of him. I think we're going to celebrate this week and start the weekend off right - slightly drunk. It will then progress to "quite" drunk on Saturday and if I had my way "extremely" drunk for Easter dinner with TG on Sunday. The latter will probably not happen because I am not a government worker that gets Monday off - bitches.

You know when you've been eating really good and nothing is happening with your body? It just hangs at a number even though your efforts have been true and you've really have tried? (Ok...maybe you didn't go to the gym but baby steps people...) Well sometimes it just catches up with you. I mean, I stepped on the scale today and the number was an improvement - after like 3 weeks of sincere effort! It gives me total motivation not to have a chow down bonanza on mashed potatoes, cashews and Cadbury chocolate this weekend! I so needed this motivation - I really did, heck maybe I'll even go to the gym next week?!

Lyrics of the Day:

Never been here before
I'm intrigued, I'm unsure
I'm searching for more
I've got something that's all mine (got something that's all mine)
I've got something that's all mine (got something that's all mine)

(I love this song, the movie that made it popular and the entire soundtrack as a matter of fact)

If you know the song and movie without googling the lyrics (prove it?) I will flash you (a body part of you choice) and give you a kiss (no tongue)! Odds are you a female if you do know the answer and if you still want the prize above I'm down :)

Peace - xo

Drained.

I feel emotionally drained - I am tired all the time (yet not sleeping all that well). The combo of the weather and personal crap is starting to get to me.

I had an awful dream last night where I caught TG cheating on me with a girl I wasn't particularly fond of (yet didn't hate) from high school. I saw them making out through my sunroof in my car from the balcony. When I made him choose between me or her - he picked her and she moved in to the condo. When I was packing my stuff and getting ready to leave I went to get my kitty and she chose to say with TG and alpha cat. It was such a sad dream. I then went snowboarding in our condo parking lot where "Chikheezee" from American Idol asked me if it was too soon for him to take me to dinner - I said no and that we could go for Indian this weekend - it was sad and weird... (I don't even watch AI nor would I pick to go for Indian on a first date - way too smelly and "dippy" - yea, that's the weird part Mano)

My grandmother is getting married - she seems 20 years younger and 10 times happier. I guess 1 month in "senior" years is the equivalent to 1 "adult" year? I dunno, and I guess it really does not matter in the big picture. She's got the bling, the dress and the man - she getting married! (I've googled him on her behalf and nothing weird came up...good to go)


Peace,
Mano

Long Time, No Blog...

Happy March - you suck. Seriously, WTF is with this weather. I am so ready for the spring and a tan.

It's been a while, I guess I just needed a little winter break to hibernate. While work has been kinda busy, I guess I just lost the motivation to jot down my thoughts online. Here are a few:

The Wii has been a passionate love affair so far. TG brought back Guitar Hero 3 from South Carolina and I'm fucking loving it! I am way cooler then I thought and School IS Out bitches! Don't hate...

I find I have a lot to look forward to this spring...maybe that's why the winter sucks.so.hard? TG and I are on a road trip at the end of the month to Ohio to see the season opener of the TFC (reminder: get scarf to look super cute and supportive that day) and while it'll be a LONG day, I just know it's going to be a blast!

We also have kinda-plans to go back to Ohio with friends in the summer to camp and take on the awesomeness that is Cedar Point! I have not been there since I was 11 or 12 and I went with my parents. All I can remember is my sister crying and then screaming in terror in line and then on some giant wooden roller coaster and my mom and dad laughing so hard at her that they bought the $12 picture to capture the scariest moment of her life. While I'm not quite ready to let go of that memory of CP, I am looking forward to making some new ones...

Lots of things going on with my peeps too! I would comment on some of the happenings but my brain is stuck on my current world tour with "LadyBoner"!

Peace.
