You make me bleed.

Some days my tongue literally HURTS!

Just one day. One day where a person could express him/herself without the need of societal censorship.

Wouldn't that be nice? Theraputic, even?

In a perfect world.............Realistically, of course, that will never become a reality, so I find an ample supply of chocolate and mugfuls of wine work wonders :)

What works for you?

Loathesome

This would have to be by far the most annoyingly offensive excuse of a marketing plot in a very, very long time. I wouldn't be surprised if seeing it actually induced an epileptic seizure. Why I felt the need to share this on my blog? I dunno. I'm just thoughtful like that.

a slightly self-pitying post

Back to reality for me, and an end to a glorious long weekend. Yesterday wasn't a very appropriate conclusion to this glory, however, on account of my feeling like arse. I'm not sure if I've picked up a bit of a bug, or whether all of my weekend indulgences got the best of me, but my tummy has a bit hate on for me, let me tell you. So, aside from peeling myself off of the couch to go to my scheduled hair appointment, I did little else yesterday (and that also accounts for the measly little post yesterday, too). And might I just add that relaxing on purpose is distinctly different than relaxing when it's all your body wants to do.

I'm still feeling slightly on the poor side today, but trying to suck it up as best I can. I cannot possibly be getting sick. This weekend is too busy...birthday celebrations and then a trip to Saint John to see Matt! I big shout out and thank you goes out to ColleenB, who has graciously offered up her spare room for us to cop a squat in on Sunday night so we don't have to be on full moose alert driving home after midnight. We've been looking forward to this for weeks and weeks...so yeah, I just can't be getting sick.

*whimper*

...though I'd almost give my left appendages for a bowl of warm soup, my mommy tending to my every whim, and the comfort of my couch right about now.

EFF word!

A vs B - Biscuit Holes at Hardee's

Because sometimes I'm a 12 year old boy and find this type of humor amusing. Ellen showcased it on her show today, so I'm in good company, IMO. Enjoy :)

Ahhh... Lazy Sunday

So the Beer & Wine Fest wasn't quite what I expected. The venue was different than last year so not quite the same set up. It appeared to be a success, if the amount of people were any indication. We saw quite a few people that we knew, including Tim & Donnie from Vintage 2.0, and I sampled a few nice wines, along with a marguerita from the Pat & Willys booth. As it turns out, Chris didn't have all the shots he needed from the afternoon event, so he ended up taking his cameras with him to the evening as well. A large crowd of people with varying beverages in their hands increased the odds of very bad things happening to expensive camera equipment, so we ended up leaving fairly early (and seeing as the supposed-to-be-comfortable-Rockport-shoes were KILLING me, he didn't get much argument from me!). Before heading home, we stopped at Jumbo Video, the LCC and Sobeys for snacks, where we continued our Fall Flavours Festival on our own. The movie was bad ("The Last House on the Left"); the snacks were tasty; and the wine was delish, so all in all, a successful night was had.

I'm a little fuzzy today, so am preparing for a lazy Sunday which will more than likely include the couch, warm blanket, TV, finishing the yummy purchased snacks, and lots of water for rehydration :). Happy Sunday to you all!

It's my perogative

So as Chris was preparing to leave the house for the second time today to do a photo shoot at the Wine & Beer Fest (there are 2 intervals; he's shooting the first and then he and I are going to attend the 2nd this evening), he made a remark about whether or not I'd be ready to go later. Inadvertently I know he was making a snide comment about the fact that I had only rolled from bed to couch in the horizontal position. I got a little defensive. And really, perhaps he's just jealous that I take the time to relax and do nothing and he wants to do the same? I happen to enjoy this quiet time with my blanket, the warm kitties by my side, and the TV or the internet to entertain me. I'm a simple gal with simple pleasures. What some may call lazy is my answer to unwind from an overly stimulating environment filled with high demands and tasks that all have to be done at a certain time and you don't feel that you've had enough time to spend on any of them.

A final comment, as he closed the door, "What an autobiography you'd have".

My fitting retort, "You don't have to read it!" And, with that, I happily grabbed a thicker, warmer blanket, resumed my horizontal position on the couch with laptop, and the two kitties are warmly nestled at my side. I couldn't be more content.

I signed up for a "Mutts" comic of the day, and each day they greet me in my inbox. The comic I have posted just happens to be the one that I received for today. Eerie how much it parallels my day, isn't it?

Relaxation is key

Day 1 of my 4 day weekend was fairly relaxing...sleeping in til the very same hour that I was starting work all this week ;). I attacked Mount Laundry with success...there's still a load in the dryer (only towels though), and there are stacks of clothing all over the bed rather than away where they belong (the worst part of doing laundry IMO). That took much of the day - in between watching a bit of tv and catching up on blog reading.

After a quick supper I was off to Starbucks with the girlies to sip on a whip creamed hot beverage and catch up on each others' lives. It was delightful, long overdue, and something we must get into a routine to do very regularly (well, the "meeting up", that is, on the 'routine' thing. Not so sure I need to routinely sip on a grande cafe mocha with whip cream and a side of banana bread on a routine basis! ;)).

When I returned home from meeting the girls, guilt got to me and I hopped on the Wii Fit (truth be told the SOLE reason I did so was because Chris was just finishing; had it not been turned on, I'da planted my ample arse atop the couch and checked Facebook, without a doubt). Surprisingly enough, I was down 4lbs from the last time I was on it. We'll not mention how many days it'd had been...suffice it to say that enough days had passed to result in a larger difference on the 'scale'. And, my Wii Mii is still considered obese. Awesome. Least I feel a little less guilt about the whip cream, though.

Tomorrow is the Beer & Wine Festival for Fall Flavors...totally getting psyched up for that. I can't promise that I won't be taking home a bottle of something. My biggest concern tomorrow is deciding on whether to sample the beers or the wines...my body doesn't deal with the mixing of the two very well. Update tomorrow, no doubt.

Night peeps :)

P.S. Greys was slightly draining last night, and I was fairly mentally unstable through the first half. I'm overly disappointed with George's departure, but they handled it well. Not sure what I feel about Seattle Grace 'merging' with Mercy... We'll see how that unfolds. I can only hope that McSteamy continues to be a pivotal role. Mmmm....McSteamy...although he is an ass, his question about whether or not George was "hung" made me laugh OUT LOUD. I *heart* Greys.
