So I have been a monstrous butthead and have not updated here in days and days. I know! How cruel of me to deny you insight into my warped take on life! How dare I take away your only form of entertainment! Oh well, if I can get over myself, you can get over my ignoring you. :D
Anyway, to start off, Holy F&*K it is hot out! We have two air conditioner, two ceiling fans, and two stand alone fans and is it cool in my house? NOPE! For crying out loud, it’s been like this for a week! We are going to my parents place in hopes of staying cool over the long weekend. Can’t wait to see my mom and dad, I don’t see them enough and I know they miss the boy more then they miss me. I’m okay with this because I know how great my little guy is!
Speaking of the little guy, he has been home with J for a week now because he broke out in what we suspect was Chicken Pox. Still not sure if it was, because he is happier the a pig in poop. Pelting around the house, destroying this and that, spottier then normal though.
I’ve decided to give pottery a break for now. I just seem so busy at home, I’m cleaning more, and J is hooked on Age of Mythology again so we are on the computer more together. Oh well, I still have a pile of clay to get through so I know I’ll be back in the fall or winter.
Weight watchers is going okay. Am up to 29 pounds lost and counting. J is doing great with it as well with 10 pounds gone.
Anyway, must go home as start packing for the trip to Mom and Dad’s.
Happy Canada Day!

K says:
Which looks more professional/sexy:
My "martha" dress that's red orange and white back ground
or
Orange top and green skirt?
J says:
just a second. professional/sexy? Isn't that two different things?
K says:
Nope, it's like wanting to do your secretary...
K says:
I don't want to look like a whore, just a little slutty, but respectable.
J says:
I guess it's time to subscribe to Respectable Slut magazine and check the fashion tips
K says:
Okay, let's try this, which one do you like better?
J says:
the orange and green, I guess
K says:
Thank you
J says:
If we're done, I'm going to go do my secretary now.

Double Blurg Soaked in Cat Pee
Oh holy hell my eyes are crunchy. Here goes, am going to bullet this just to get it out there and I may or may not flesh this out later depending on mood/time.
- Weekend was awesome, parents are fantastic, the boy was great, and I love my husband
- Didn't mention on Friday that I had booked the car in to be fixed because of "noisy" steering. Turns out I had to get a new "Rack and Pinion". What ever the hell that is, it is costing my family $1200. I embrace the debt as Jodel says. So after not sleeping all night last night in anticipation of getting up early and getting on the road, I have myself up at 5:15am and the rest of the family up, packed and driving by 6:25am. Damn I hurt. So we get into the 'Mont at about 9:30am, drop the husband off, take the boy to day care and drive in to Capital Dodge. All good, they take Barney and drop me off at Bayshore. I piss away the entire friggin' day (Even though I asked if this was going to go pat 4pm, and could I get my rental now?) at the friggin' mall. I get back to the dealership at 3:30pm and the car is not close to being ready. So they set me up with the rental for the night. I would like to take this time to say driving home a brand new Dodge Dakota, Quad cab, V8 truck makes you feel like a MAN! Even though I have boobies. I love it and it was the only good thing to happen today.
- Now having lost the day to sit on my ass at the Mall, I now have to go and start on all the chores I had planned to do during today.
Will blog when I'm in a better mood.
smeh
....
HEY! I almost forgot! One of the reasons I love my husband is he is a fantastic chef! HE MADE ME VEGETARIAN CURRY FOR DINNER!!! So perked me up, love you sweetie!
The Wife
ps - Yes, my husband deals with my violent mood swings rather well! :)

A week in review...
So it is Friday! YIPPEE!!! This week has been hugely busy...which is my excuse that I’m sticking to for not blogging sooner. Let’s see, where to start….
Saturday: Went shopping with my good buddy K. The both of us needed some new summer clothes so off we went to Bayshore. Much laughter was had when the woman in Eddie Bauer offered to let us share the change room. We politely thanked her but said we were friends but not that kind of friends. Bought another skirt...hmmm...I guess it's true, I am a girl! :)
Sunday: Went to Raevyn’s for dinner and had a ball. My Monster was a good boy running around after her kids. Who by the way are exceptional little people! Great manners, took care of The Boy like he was one of them, fantastic respect for the parents, AWESOME KIDS! Dinner was great except for The Boy not wanting to eat with us because he had filled up on crackers. Otherwise, great fun and am looking forward to seeing them all again! No Raevyn we aren't mentioning getting lost driving to the 'Prior! :(
Monday: A) Skipped out on Pottery because it was too damn hot. Also, am needing a break from it. It has become work instead of fun. I’m not open to learning new things right now. I just want to make my soccer balls, crank out a few dozen mugs and not have to deal with anyone. Oh well, will go back to just being a studio potter for a while and if I feel like it will get lessons again over the winter.
B) Went for my jog and was in a bit of pain. My knee was killing me so I only did one little stretch of running and did not feel better for doing it. Uh oh.
Tuesday: After work went straight to the doctor. My knee was completely fooked. It would not take weight going down stairs, overall a feeling of swollen numbness. Turns out I have micro tears in my meniscus. I know! I didn’t know I had one of those either! Also, I have two of them! Translation: In my knee cartilage. So after I got the word that I wouldn’t be jogging for the next four days I immediately went to Motion Wear at the Hazeldean mall and bought myself new running shoes. My Asics Cumulus were getting worn down and they were a couple of years old. So I got my assessment done on my stride, the wear pattern on the bottom of my shoes, and it turns out my feet are perfect! They don’t pronate, souponate (I have no idea of the spelling of these terms. It means my ankles don’t lean out in either direction.) and my arches are beautiful. SO, I ended up getting a brand new pair of the exact same shoe that I already owned! Asics Cumulus IV! Love them! Have yet to use them but I’m sure it will be an improvement.
Wednesday: Had to drive back into town after work again to get more diapers at Walmart, go to Bell World to get the car charger for my cell phone, and then head down to the pavilion to the Pagan M&G. Got all my errands done and was driving down Carling on my way to the M&G when I get stopped at the light across from the hospital. Out of the corner of my eye I can see some woman strutting her stuff across the intersection and I turn my head to see who is putting on the moves…IT’S MEL!!! My martini partner from previous posts! She hops in the car and we chat up to Prince of Wales Drive where I drop her off to catch the 85 bus and I head to pavilion. Overall, it was a good night. I got to see Ted, Tanya, Morris, and met someone new who seems like an awesome person, Marie. I have decided to take all of my forays into paganism as an educational experience. MyFriendAnge tm is pagan and I don’t want to sound like an ignorant twit so I want to learn. I have figured out that religion as a whole does not appeal to me. I’m very willing to learn but am not eager to be practicing. Anyway, ‘nuff said on that subject.
Thursday: Hung around the house and did some laundry. The boy didn't want to go to sleep until after 10:40. Poor boy was so tired this morning! After we got him dressed he climbed back into bed with his Bunny. He did go to day care but was very quiet and droopy.
Friday: Tonight the family and I leave for Cobourg. Should be a great weekend with the family. I’m going to be seeing both of my girl friends from high school so it will be a ball!
Anyway, much love to you, my readers.
Peace out, yo muthuh, buh bye and all that good stuff!

Sunday Fun!
WOOHOO!!! Out to Raevyn's for dinner with the peeps toinght! As soon as the boy is up from his nap we are hitting the road, loaded with food, for the 'Prior! That kid is going to sleep tonight!
If I'm sober I'll blog later but ther is also the factor that I'll be tired out too! Got to go get the laundry done and folded. Also, see previous post, must go clean out the car. :(
Hey Ange, do you think you might be able to get your ticket to have a lay over of a couple days here in Ottawa? :) The family here would love to see you and since you are already in the province...? Anyway, Jay and I just thought we would ask if you had to be back home super quick after Fest.
Hugs to one and all!

K: Are you flipping through that whole magazine? There is an index at the back you know.
J: I know there is. I like to flip through it.

J: Sweetie, use words that help, not words that hurt.
*pause*
K: Didn't you call me a forgetful Ass-Bitch the other night!?!

R-I-I-I-I-P!!!! Volume II
Okay, if you are a faithful reader of the crazy that spews out of here you will have heard about the ripped skirt. Here is what happened to me this week that I forgot to Blog about.
I went shopping on Sunday afternoon. I felt like getting out of the house and replacing a pair of navy jogging pants that I had worn through so I hopped in the car and bopped into Wal-Mart. Do you think I could find one pair??? No. I did, however, find clothes for the boy, sports tops for jogging, and a few other things that brought the bill up to $163. At this point I'm thinking to myself, "Self, you are about the be hurt in some horrible way when you walk in the door with this stuff after you told your loving, sweet, understanding, husband that you were only getting jogging pants.". This is when I whipped out an old Walmart gift card that Jay has hanging around his wallet that I swipped earlier. WOOHOO!! That brought it down to a more reasonable $98. So, having saved myself I then took off to Bayshore to get my self a new outfit! :)
If at this point you are trying to figure out the logic about that one, please, call my husband, he is still trying to figure it out too.
Got to Old Navy and decided to face down my arch nemesis, THE CHANGE ROOM. The back story about this is the last time I was in this store I had a mild panic attack about trying on clothes. I have been losing weight for about 6 months now and had a small mental block about putting a "label" on myself. I am a size 16, or I am a size 14, whatever. This time I got both of those is about 6 different styles of pants and got in line. WOOHOO!!! I'm a size 14 again! Anyway, only bought one pair. Went to Payless and got a cheap pair of nice sandals. Mommy is Stylin'!!!
So, Monday dawns bright and clear! The birds are singing and I am going to be going to work in new pants! I use my fashion consultant/husband for which shirt. I ended up weeding out a few of the older ones into the garbage before settling and getting myself and the boy into work/daycare. I am feelin' good! I look good, am walking in new shoes, life couldn't be better.
And then it happens.
I glance down at my pants as I'm walking down the hall and I think I see a thread near the fly. THERE IS A FUCKING HOLE TWO INCHES LONG DIRECTLY UNDER THE FLY! I calmly go back to our lovely receptionist and ask her if she has tan thread with her black. Nope. I get back to my office and spread'em to show the girls what has happened to me...AGAIN! They tell me that if I stand normally you can't see the hole, so I think to myself, "Okay, I'm gonna be okay. Will get through today and get these home and sew them. It will all be fine.". I turn around to go back to my desk and a huge collective gasp rings out. The seam going between my legs and up to the waist band has pretty much split. The only thing that is preventing the world from seeing my, as Ted would say, naughty bits is a wee bit of thread. I lose it. I pick up my coat, my purse and say I'll be back in an hour. Back to Old Navy I go and show the first GIRL sales person my problem. She is immediately helpful...in telling me there are no more of my pants in the store. I say, "Okay, get every size 14 you can find and meet me in the change room in 5 minutes." I ended up getting instead pants a new skirt, new top and to top it all off, the skirt was a size 12, the first one of my adult life!
So, is this a happy ending? You decide.
Buh Bye
ps - it was kinda funny to have people walk by me in the hall looking at me and saying, "Weren't you wearing something different today?", and me reply back, "Nope, you must be thinking of some other day!"

RIO Forge Update...
So it's not dead! Or at least it wasn't for long. Jay tried to do a few things to it, googled a bunch of info on it. Basically if you leave the battery out of it for 20 minutes or more it resets itself and that fixed it. Anyway, must get some work done. We are listening to The Wedding on HOT 89.9 this morning while we work.
Buh Bye!
Buh Bye!
