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.

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!

Holy Fuck!
So I have to capture this day while I still have the adreniline coursing through my system. Please forgive all typo's, run-on sentences and grammer errors. Too tired to fucking care yet too wound to stop typing!!! :P
Day started at 2:38 in the morning with the boy waking up screaming his head off. Understandable, because he had crapped his pants before falling asleep. This of course meant that it was extremely painful and uncomfortable at 2:38 in the morning. Changed his bum, gave him big hugs and cuddles, sang him the "sunshine" song and then crawled back into bed for another three hours of sleep. Great morning! Was up before everyone, as usual, had my shower and got ready to go before either of my men woke up. I knew the munchkin was going to be grumpy so I cut up a bag full of strawberries, his favourite, for his breakfast and had them ready at the change table. GOOD PLAN MOMMY! He was VERY happy to see them and helped keep a good mood on him all the way to day care. Jay came with us today to work out of Kanata for a change. BONUS! Got to have a 2 point breakfast with my sweetie (english muffin, no butter, and an egg white with 1 tbsp of ketchup) and then the honey took me out to lunch at Bombay Marsala. OH GOD THE CURRY!!!!! I deliberately only had a turkey bite for the whole morning to save points for lunch, which we figure ended up being around 30. Had the deep fried onion balls, butter chicken, ground beef type of curry, and curried veggies!!! SO YUMMY!!!! Anyway, that was it for food for the day. Didn't have dinner except some of Ryan's strawberries/milk/wee bit of ice cream smoothie. Jay went off to install the computer he built over the weekend and left me with the monster. I emptied the dishwasher and loaded it again, cleaned kitchen to shining, striped the bed and washed the sheets and mattress cover, folded three loads of laundry, tidied up the monster's room, swept the living room, made the boy dinner, and got started on the new Nora Roberts, Black Rose. Jay came home at this point and made a pot of coffee and we tried out the new Vanilla Caramel creamer. OH HOLY HELL THE YUMMY!
ANYWAY, here is the fun part. My RIO Forge DIED!!! Wouldn't start, nothing. Jay plugged in the USB cable and it was able to connect but it looked like it was going to have to be flashed...or some such techno babble. Ended up letting Jay fiddle with it for about a half and hour before taking HIS MP3 player and going on my run. This is now 10:30 at night and am so crusty eyed it's horrible. But, I ate my heart out at lunch so the guilt was riding me. I HAD THE BEST RUN OF MY LIFE!!! I ran 3/4 of the entire route that I usually take in four separate bouts of running!!! I was so high when I got back I wanted to put my head through a brick wall or, start doing back flips! What I ended up doing was stretching in front of the intro to Goldmember (Forgot how funny that was!), chugging a bottle of my flavoured water that we got at Costco and making the bed before coming up here.
Okay, it's now 11:43 and am on the crash. Must....go....sleepy.....

Had the deep fried onion balls, butter chicken, ground beef type of curry, and curried veggies!!! SO YUMMY!!!! Anyway, that was it for food for the day. Didn't have dinner except some of Ryan's strawberries/milk/wee bit of ice cream smoothie. Jay went off to install the computer he built over the weekend and left me with the monster. I emptied the dishwasher and loaded it again, cleaned kitchen to shining, striped the bed and washed the sheets and mattress cover, folded three loads of laundry, tidied up the monster's room, swept the living room, made the boy dinner, and got started on the new Nora Roberts, Black Rose. Jay came home at this point and made a pot of coffee and we tried out the new Vanilla Caramel creamer. OH HOLY HELL THE YUMMY!
ANYWAY, here is the fun part. My RIO Forge DIED!!! Wouldn't start, nothing. Jay plugged in the USB cable and it was able to connect but it looked like it was going to have to be flashed...or some such techno babble. Ended up letting Jay fiddle with it for about a half and hour before taking HIS MP3 player and going on my run. This is now 10:30 at night and am so crusty eyed it's horrible. But, I ate my heart out at lunch so the guilt was riding me. I HAD THE BEST RUN OF MY LIFE!!! I ran 3/4 of the entire route that I usually take in four separate bouts of running!!! I was so high when I got back I wanted to put my head through a brick wall or, start doing back flips! What I ended up doing was stretching in front of the intro to Goldmember (Forgot how funny that was!), chugging a bottle of my flavoured water that we got at Costco and making the bed before coming up here.
Okay, it's now 11:43 and am on the crash. Must....go....sleepy.....
*ZZZ...ZZZ...ZZZ*

I Am A: Chaotic Good Human Ranger Fighter
Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.
Race:
Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.
Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
Secondary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.
Deity:
Shaundakul is the Chaotic Good god of travel and exploration. He is also known as the Rider of the Winds. His followers are typically rangers, and work to protect the land. They typically wear leather armor, and carry long swords and short bows. Shaundakul's symbol is a white hand with the index finger raised.

Holy COSTCO Batman!!!
So I feel like I just witnessed a train wreck! I just got back from a huge trip with the family to Costco...yes you read right, I took The Boy to a large busy store. I know what your thinking, "She's crazy as a loon." or "What was she smoking!?!". I now feel the same way. Jay and I totally agree that he was a normal 2 year old. Which means of course that most of the trip was hell. He was good in that he stayed in the cart for most of the time. He was cute when he was eating the samples that were offered(rice, chocolate covered strawberries, mango, and two different kinds of juice). Was very polite and clean in the way he shoved them down his throat and made them disappear. When it came time to put the stuff through the cash Jay and I took the boy to the food court area and got a Poutine (By the way, Costco Poutine is by far the best EVER! The cheese is in huge chunks, like, hey we are too lazy to shred this stuff! We are going to give you these giant pieces of cheese on these deep fried potato slices with a gallon of rich dark gravey and there you go! A heaping helping of heart attack!!!) which the boy refused eat, a slice of okay pizza(seemed dry, aka old) which the boy refused to eat, and a diet coke...which the boy drained and had a melt down if anyone tried to take it from them. Holy cow, by the time we got all of the stuff in the car (We didn't do too badly, only about $190 this trip.) and got home I think I am in a state of shock.
My sinus cold is still in full force. When I walked in the door, the first thing, after changing the bum of the boy, was get out the Dristan Nasal Mist. LOVE THAT STUFF!!! It is like a shot-gun blast to the sinuses! I had major pressure, leakage and ear pain. One shot in each side and suddenly I'm a healthy person! Love that stuff. Too bad it's highly addictive or I would use it more then the recommended twice a day.
I am soooooo bummed! The one thing that I totally lusted after tonight was such a bargain. DAMN TAXES making us have to save our money! It was an 18" 14kt white gold rope chain necklace...for only $93!!!! *sigh* maybe next time....(HINT HINT SWEETIE!!!! :D )
Anyway, must go and coralle the boy into his bed. Jay is already unwrapping the computer he is building so I will see in on Monday.
Later 'Gator!

Woot!
YAAAAAYYYY!!! The weekend is here again! It is going to be sooooo nice to relax. Jay is going to be building a computer all weekend so he will keep himself busy. Ryan and I might try a couple of road trips…
Anyway, the boy has done it again. The poor little guy had a touch of the croup and passed it to me in the form of a sinus cold. I really, REALLY hate sinus colds now. It’s the “I can’t breathe, so I can’t eat easily, or taste anything, or sleep comfortably” kind of deal. Jay is dosing me with some Nyquil for the first time ever tonight because I’m sick of not sleeping.
I’m going to be doing my gardening this weekend. YAR I’M NOT SUGAR I WON’T MELT! I don’t care if it rains, I want to get my herbs planted. My sweet sweet husband went to the Home Hardware and picked up my second planter.
If I’m a little disjointed it’s because DUFFMAN CAN NOT BREATHE, OH YEAH!
Must work, will blog over the weekend.
Later ‘Gator!

Cheap, Cheap, Cheap
So the story of my long weekend. Where to begin…
I left work, took the boy home, had dinner, and then drove to the market to Mel’s place. From her place went to meet up with Jodel at the Tulip Festival for the Shawn Desman concert. FUN! VERY FUN! The concert was awesome, and had a great time. After that however was when it went downhill. Wait, scratch that, the next morning was when it went down hill. I was horribly, publicly, drunk. When I say drunk I mean, I was held up to get home. But here is the funny part. IT WAS ON ONLY FOUR DRINKS!!! What the hell!?! We started at the Blue Cactus where two martini’s were imbibed. From there we were still feeling good so we went on to the Lesbian bar beside the Bare Fax. Had a great time there! Got hit on by this lovely black woman in the bathroom, and then there was the dancing to the awesome music. I had two Smirnoff’s while there. And that was it for me. By the time we got to Zaks for snack I was being overly polite to everyone to appear in some way sober. There was an incident with me, a cigarette, and three police officers, but we won’t get into that. By the time I was “helped” home (carried) and fell into bed (the couch), and tried to sleep (passed out after dealing with a bad case of the spins for a half an hour), it was about 3:30 in the morning. That means we were all up by 8am and ready to try to get to the Domus sidewalk sale. I was rough. Felt fine when I woke up, but by the time we had walked to get breakfast (one croissant) and shop, I was just about ready to cry I was so nauseous. Once again, FOUR DRINKS! Mel and Col took pity on me at that point and took me back to the apartment to try to sleep off a bit of the poison. It helped a lot. It got me well enough to be safe on the roads to get home to Almonte. This of course meant me having to cancel on fun that night with Ted, Jules, and Jodel. :( Was not happy about that, but believe me, you did not want me there! Will try to reschedule something soon, or maybe it will be at the next M&G.
And so the moral of this story is: Mommy is never drinking more then one ever again!!!
After that is was a general haze of recovery. The rest of Saturday was spent flat on my back, moaning occasionally. Sunday I was feeling a little bit better so I was able to get out for my run. Monday I walked twice. Took a movie back to the store on the other end of town with The Boy in the stroller and then did my jog that night.
Must go, my eyes feel like two piss holes in a snowbank. Need to get some sleep tonight.

Weekend fun!
What a great weekend! It all started on Friday night when I stayed home. REST! Oh yeah, gotta love it. Went for my walk/run and then was in bed early. Woke up pretty early, just in time to nag my husband to take the family in to the mall. By the time we packed the 2 year old, mother-in-law and us in the car it was about 10:30. I started thinking to myself, “Damn I wish we had gotten out of the house sooner, the boy’s nap is going to be all screwed up.” He ended up having a little sleep in the car on the way into town. Got to Carlingwood and then started on the practice of learning patience. The kid rode the escalator about four times to the third floor and down again. Fine, this entertained him while Mother-In-Law and I browsed. Of course when it was time to go there was the “NO-O-O-O-O!!!” which was accompanied with jumping up and down and tears. No problem, it was actually kinda funny, especially when my 6’2”, husband started jumping up and down behind him. Just about peed myself! Anyway, finally got everyone out to the mall. The boy was, overall, a good boy. I made a Mommy mistake in not bringing the umbrella stroller (For those non-parents, it’s one of those flimsy strollers that fold up into a bundle of sticks and wheels. Very convenient for traveling.) and the boy got tired so he ended up being carried for that last hour we were there. Not a bad time overall. Am going to try to take him out with me more. He has to learn how to behave in public and if he never goes there how is he going to learn?
Anyway, that was only the first half of the day. Second half was me waking up from a nap at 5pm, getting dressed up , and hitting the market with my good buddy Mel. We had a huge chat in her condo, then walked through the market looking for a place to have a drink and a snack. We walked into five different places and walked back out again. We just couldn’t find a place that tickled our fancy. Ended up at the Blue Cactus Grill in the bar area right at the window. Over the next hour and a half we played that age old game of “FASHION CRIME!”. Basically, we just tore down the people that walked by. It got better with the rain started and everyone was soaked and complaining about it. Tried two new drinks, the Apple Pie Martini ( had it once be for at Alice Fazooli’s in Kanata but this one was AWESOME!!!), and a Ready to Go Martini (This one was smeh. Had vanilla vodka, kalua, something else and a shot of espresso. The silly thing even had coffee beans floating in it!). Anyway, was feeling the buzz so no driving home. Slept on the couch after watching ANCHOR MAN with Will Ferrel and getting pizza. By the way Anchor Man is the best. Could watch it a million times just to hear Brick say, “I DON’T KNOW WHY WE’RE YELLING!!!”
Sunday was blah. Hung out at home, had a mild argument with the husband, did laundry, and vacuumed the house. Jay’s mom followed behind me with the mop.
Pottery class tonight. Am going to build another soccer ball. It will be the third one and the last of the ordered ones. I can start doing mugs again and maybe design a new project or two.
Later ‘Gator
