Someone's watching

Yeeahh...so I don't mean like a stalker or anything.  What I actually mean is that I drove to my piano teacher's house only to have my tire basically fall off my car.  I started my day off with having another one of my famous blabbering meltdowns and waiting for my hubby to bail me out yet again.  Does anyone remember what happened to my last car?  Oh yeah....It went something like this:
Ewa driving down to work on hwy 2....(Yes...I am referring to myself in third person)
Ewa notices the car is making funny noises...
Ewa calls hubby tells him about car making funny noises...
Hubby asks questions and tells Ewa to try to make it to work...
Ewa calls hubby again telling him the car is making more funny scarry noises...
Hubby asks few more questions and tells Ewa to call him as soon as she makes it to work...
Ewa calls hubby to tell him the car is smoking on the side of a (very busy!) road...
Hubby asks where Ewa is and tells her to start the car and try to get it to the parking lot a few feet away...
Hubby comes, looks under the hood, Ewa starts the car.....kills the car
Hole in engine size of Ewa's fist...
end of car...
Such are my stories with my vehicles.  Luckily I was able to get a ride to work with piano teacher, since I work with her and hubby took car to mechanics. 
Moral of the story...
Ewa drives cars that die but she always has someone looking over her :)

Staycation over :(

So nothing major happened in the last few days.  Yesterday I felt a little bit blah which propelled me to have a bath and go to sleep for almost 3 hours in the middle of the afternoon.  After my nap I woke up and just went back to sleep again for the whole night.  Something was off with me and I guess my body was just telling me "It's ok, just sleep and I'll have yo back".  I still need to clean my office, paint, send thank you cards and clean our bedroom but I had a busy day today so that makes up for me not doing these things a bit.  Even if I didn't accomplish everything, it got me on a very good track.  I needed these days off and I'm hoping that in the future I'll be able to get more like it.  On Friday Daniel and I, together with some friends, went out for sushi.  I absolutely LOVE sushi and am ever so glad that my sister got me hooked on it.  I love my little food baby that I get after sitting and stuffing my face with all the different food the sushi place offers.  Today the girls and I had a little get together and we had psychic readings done.  I did not get one done simply because what will be, will be.  I don't want to think about anything good or bad and pre-occupy my mind with that.  I prefer to wait and see what happens.  It was fun, though, to be hanging out with the girlies.  I'm still a bit ugh but that can be due to me going back to work tomorrow.
I'm going to see what damage I can do in my bedroom before going to bed....or I'll just wake up tomorrow morning to do that and go to bed and read my books.
I'm le tired

Staycation: Day 4 and loving life

So, I didn't do as much as I wanted today but it was still a good day off (then again very few days off of work are bad days).  I did some cleaning, some running around, visiting momsie briefly, my in-laws, and Kevin our friend :)  Today, overall, was a very chillaxed kind of a day.  Not too much stress etc.  I guess that counts for a successful staycation as well .  Right now I'm enjoying sitting on the couch with hubby while he plays his games and I do some blogging etc. I'll clean the rest of the home tomorrow.  I'm really not looking forward to going to work already and I still have 3 more days off. What can you do I guess.  I'll see if I have some more eventful things to blog about tomorrow.

Staycation: Day 3 and Val is awesome.

There is no other word to describe this morning other than, cluster fuck...It was basically the...if it CAN go wrong, it will.  I had a mini breakdown but by the mid afternoon it was all coming together again.  I enjoyed being around my house and doing some yardwork as well as starting on my housework.  After my hubby came home I basically started doing my running around and went to do some shopping.  After that I went to my mamus's house and waited for Gabby to show up to try on her dress that my mom is doing some alterations to.  After Gabby left I headed on home to wait for Val to come over.  :)  I love hanging out with Val.  It is effortless and she is simply delightful to be around.  We had some good laughs.  We enjoyed some pizza from the local pizzeria and watched some shows.  We were both super stoked that So You Think You Can Dance is starting again TOMORROW!!! :D  That is one of the few reality shows that I enjoy and watch from episode 1 to the finale.  Hubby actually went to bed early which was a shock to me but I understand because he had 2 busy, stressful, physically exhausting days.  Val and I watched Conan for a while and now I'm blogging about my day.  I think I'm ready to hit the hay as well.  Another busy day tomorrow!!! I still have to paint rooms, tidy my office and write shitloads of thank you cards.
Here's to staycations haha.

Staycation: Day 2 and thank Jeebus for my licence

So my Tuesday started way early due to the fact that I had to go for my piano lesson.  How are my lessons going you ask?  (I'm going to say it anyways, even though no one asked :))  Well, I get there and then I play my scales...and I crumble because I don't practice enough so I self depricate myself for the period of my lesson and my poor piano teacher has to listen to all of that.  I'm sure her ears are bleeding a little each time I get there.  The pieces that I'm playing for my exam (which is on June 16 O.o eeek!) go as well as I prepare them.  If I managed a lot of practice time, they go splendidly...if not...well we go back to the whole self depricating part as well as the mumbling idiot comes out and we're having a party then.


My Pianers...<3


After my lessons I went to the bank to deposit some money into my account.  I was really paying attention too when I deposited 40 bucks instead of the 60 that I actually put into the envelope.  That was super fun (and by super fun I mean WTF??)  After some more FAIL moments I decided to head on home and go on to Kristin's to finish the mural I started there. 
After an hour of trying to get the hell out of the house I finally managed to get to Kristin's and have some realxing painting time.  I am quite pleased with how it's turning out and I believe Kristin likes it, which in the end is what matters.  I can't wait to see the final finished product. 

So close I can taste it...

Once I was done at Kristin's I packed up, went back home to change, and went over to my mamus's house.  I had some din din there and spend some Q time with my motha.  Showed her the wonders of Youtube, which she thought was awesome, and then at 6:30 I was on the road once again to go back to my piano teacher's house.  We had a get together with some ladies who are also her students and we played for eachother.  I kept on doing the whole "Woe is me" lamentation and was sick and tired of listening to myself.  I don't know what everyone else did while I was doing that.  The night in the end was a personal triumph though because I kind of got better at playing in front of a listening public.

After the evening, I drove back to my mom's house, got some beautifully smelling Lily of the Valley and drove back home.  I ate, I played piano some more, and now I am blogging :)
Day three was successful and sponsored by the letters D and L...without my driving licence I would kinda be screwed.

Staycation: Day 1 and My Love of Youtube

What a wonderful way to start my staycation!  After finishing watching movies with the hubby last night, I remembered that I stumbled upon Polish cartoons on Youtube.  I decided to see if maybe it would have some of the Polish movies I remember watching as a child.  What do you know, it DID!  I don't think I can describe the child-like wonderment and excitement I felt when I saw "Czarne Stopy" (Black Feet) all over again.  Last time I remember seeing that movie was back in Grade 1 or so at the movie theatre.  The movie is based on a book.  Just to give you an idea of what the movie is about I'll give a very brief synopsis.  It shows many adventures of a boy scout pack, named Black Feet, while attending a bivouac with their boy scout troop.  It's a cute kids movie.  I simply sat there glued to my little netbook screen with this stupid grin on my face.  I finished watching it this morning and then decided to keep on going down the memory lane.  I simply adore Youtube for giving me this little gift. 

My day 1 of staycation started off great.  I had my green tea in my herbal tea mug while watching my Polish movies (Yes, I have a specific mug for that, given to me by my LuLu).  During all this time my hubby was playing Black Ops on PS3 on the couch beside me.   

Mr. Frog chilling in my cup.

After my Polish movie break, my hubby and I watched a movie together.  I know...we watch A LOT of movies.  That is actually a very special time to us.  We don't go clubbing, pubbing etc.  We like to sit at our home and relax together.  This might seem boring to some but it's perfect to us.  Before the movie I also made us crepes.  Oh yeah, you heard me right...I make crepes and they are pretty good if I say so myself.  I am awesome like that.  Once the movie was over I decided to go and have a nice, long, relaxing bath.  One of MY favourite ways to de-stress.  I put my little bath pillow in, turn the ipod dock station to some tunes of my "mood' choice, bring my book along and settle in to a nice chill zone.



My chill station



This time around I couldn't decide between the two books that I'm reading so I decided to bring them both.  I always have my phone on me as well.  If I don't feel like reading, I tweet, FB or play games on my phone.





bubbles!! Oo



These would be my vanilla scented candles that I light during my bath and one of my favourites bubbles for my bubble baths.  I am quite aware that it says Shower Gel on the bottle but that's because I bought a refil at the store and by mistake I put it into the shower gel bottle. 

After all the bathing, I decided to do my toesies again for the week of my staycation.  I decided for a sparkly red colour called "Red Carpet" by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. I think I put too much pressure on myself because I had to re-do my big toe 3 times before I just say "Screw it!" and just left it as is.

Then my hubby made us delicious dinner, which I practically inhaled and now my stomach hurts like a motha.  TUMS or Pepto...here I come.  I have a very busy Day 2 of Staycation therefore I shall go to bed soon.

Newbie

I moved a whole blog post.......No clue how I did it.

Lucky Girl I am

On all these days when I cry and complain and think "oh poor me", I should really step back and see how lucky I am.  I have a family that loves me.  When I say family, I mean my mom, dad and my sisters.  Yes, they have issues but so do most families out there.  Speaking of families, I also have a new family who are nothing but wonderful to me. 
I have a job that pays the bills and for the most part, I do what I enjoy.  So I don't think some people I work with are that great.  At least I don't work in poor conditions where I am paid next to nothing or am forced to do something worse like sell my body and my dignity along with it. 
I have friends that are wonderful.  So we don't always see eye to eye.  Does everyone need to agree 100% with me all the time?  Absolutely not. 
I have a home that I love.  Do I enjoy all my neighbours that are around?  Maybe not necessarily but maybe they feel same about me.  I love coming home and spending time in it.  It isn't my dream home but I love it none the less because it is mine. 
My husband.  I cannot express enough how much I love and adore my husband.  He does everything for me and loves me and cares for me.  He is who I depend on and I cannot imagine my life without him.  I honestly cannot express how lucky I am to have a man like that in my life.  I could gush a lot about my man so I'll save you the nausea and just say I love him with all that is me.
My life....is wonderful.  I should remind myself this more often. 
Now I'll enjoy my tea as I sit here under a blankie watching tv with my hubbie snoozing on the couch beside me.  Life is great.

Movie critic I am

I just watched "Let Me In" and I have to say that it is quite possibly one of the best vampire flicks out there.  I am absolutely going to buy the book, the English version of course, and see how it measures up to the movie.  I am a major fan of the "book-over-the-movie" deal.  Since I loved the movie so much, I should adore the shit out of the book.  The movie was a cinematographic genius.  It was the right amount of dark, evil, and bloody.  Without showing much they conveyed such a touching, dark and haunting story.  Chloe Moretz is a wonderful actress and I adore her in every role.  When she played Hit Girl in Kick Ass, I said....I want my little girl to be like her.  Well, maybe not as murderous but self assured, strong, take no B.S. type of a girl.

Tis all

T-0 to my staycation!!!

So this is how today started...
My alarm woke me up at 7:30 am.  I, however, decided to turn the alarm off.  Now for those who know me, know that I am a snoozer.  I do not wake up with the first sound of the alarm, pop out of the bed, sing a Mary Poppins tune, and start off my day.  I tell myself those sweet sweet words of "Come on...you can sleep 5 more minutes".  To fit my snoozing into the schedule of dolling myself up for work, (I do not like walking out of the house without make up because I look like a crack whore in need of a fix or a sick albino)  I set my alarm for 7:00 and sleep in aditional half an hour, waking up at 7:30, giving me exactly and hour to do what I need to do not to give little children nightmares at night.  Last night I felt the need to watch J.T. on SNL because, well why wouldn't you?  This made me really tired and I decided that I will set my alarm for 7:30am.  I forgot my whole snoozing routine which made me get up at 8:00 am instead.  I woke up with the feeling of "HOLY SHIT!!! I'M LATE!".  Having my minor heart attack, I got up and went on with my routine cutting it in half.  It didn't help that I kept on banging cupboards and dropping everything which made me think, "This is what today is going to be like o.O".
Today went by really slowly but in the end I persevered and my STAYCATION IS ON BITCHES!!!
I will document it everyday so the few of you who are actually reading this, will not get those precious minutes back (Insert evil laughter here)
With this I shall end this and hopefuly blab some more later.
p.s. Tron soundtrack is the shizzle...just sayin.

It's almost here :)

What I'm talking about is my vacation! I have the next week off and it feels sooo good.  I'm super excited to do the little things like organize my bills, finish the second coat in my guest room and bedroom and little things here and there.  It might sound like nothing much but honestly it is the greatest feeling knowing that in just one short week, I will be super organized.  I can be a freak like that and I LOVE being organized.  Just to give you an idea, my closet is organized as such:
1st - My pants (starting with white and finishing with black pants.  Jeans are hung seperately)
2nd - My white tops
3rd - My yellow tops
4th - My pink tops
etc etc....finishing on coats
On the second rack (I do have a walk in closet which is a dream come true :D) are all my dresses, including my wedding dress.
My t-shirts are all together and they are also organized by colour
etc. etc....you probably get the idears.
Some people may call this anal...I call it normal (but then again I am a bit crazy so what are you going to do)
Alright, enough about me and my OCD.
I am super excited about this warm weather too.  I plan to use it to the MAX.  Right now I will be going for a walk in just a few short minutes.
Today I took a walk during my lunch and it was wonderful.  I also met up with my husband's cousin Natasha who works at the mall and is an absolute sweetheart.  We went to Old Navy together and I thought I would be lucky enough to get me some flip flops for just a $1 each.  Unfortunately I have a shoe size 8 and that would be the average size...so you can imagine what happened.  I settled for $3 pair of flip flops which was still pretty fricken awesome if I say so myself.



My new flip flopsies.

 Well I will be taking my new flip-flopsies for a walk now.

Seriously...Seriously???

So this is how my thursday night went at the library...
Got in and started working on my 80's programme box.  Had awesome conversations with Tiffany B (Our local teen librarian, American buddy, and all around awesome woman). Went for awesome supper with Val (Val is a walking saint of a person, she makes you want to be a better human being) and my hubby to a sushi place.  Came back for 3 more hours of work thinking "I can do this".  The first hour went not too bad especially since I was busy reading up on 7 lb tumors, cows with 3 nostrils and a ram stuck on a wire from Ripley's Believe It or Not.  Myself and two students also pointed out how one of them, more specifically Marta, resembles Sheldon from "Big bang theory".  Then I did some work by completing the 80's box and help customers.  All this time we didn't really have a lot of customers other than the group of children in wheelchairs and their workers who went through out department seeing if it is accessable.  Our evening was going realtively smooth and then at 7:15..just 45 minutes to close, ALL the customers started coming in with difficult questions :)  MY FAVOURITE!!  REALLY??? Why? Did all the OTHER hours of the day not work in any way for you to come in and perhaps get your shit together?  Mind you this is not sooo bad.  Usually they come 10 minutes until closing time.  Last week we had customers who were quite shocked when they came up to the circulation desk and ALL the computers were shut off.  The conversation went something like this... 
Customer:  "You're closed?"
Me:  "Yes, that's why we had the announcements every 5 minutes for the past 15 minutes"
Customer:  "Oh I didn't know that"
Me:  "You have 10 dollars fines on your card"
Customer:  "10 DOLLARS??"
Me:  "Yes..you have to bring it down for you to use your card"
Customer:  "What are they for?"
Me: "Blah blah blah...this and that"
Customer: (to her daughter)  "This is going to come out of your allowance"
Me: *thinking*  Hurry the fuck up...I just want to go home and I don't give two shits about what you're going to do after this.
Customer:  "Here's $2.00"
Me:  "Great...thanks"
I'm just saying....

Gamer wha?

I SUCK at video games.  I was playing a basic LEGO star wars game and I SUCKED at it.  My storm trooper was shooting in random directions, I kept on getting killed and my point level sucked major balls.  A LEGO GAME!!!!  Holy shit.  Mario I'm not too bad in and also some of the wii sport games but seriously...LEGO?  I get soooo frustrated playing that I have a hissy fit, turn off the game and storm off.  Who has a temper tantrum over a video game?  Only me...Mind you, I'm not terribly upset that I do not know how to play video games well.    Sometimes though I feel like...I've been defeated by a video game.  Brilliant.
I kick ass at other things so I shouldn't be too upset at this.  I yelled at teens today for being total dicks, helped out a friend in need and clean like nobody's business.



What's this?  Oh nothing...just my awesome painting of a tiger!

 I rock.

Stop bothering me...

Why I get bothered by this...i will never know.
The words their, there, they're constantly being used in the wrong context.  So let's see if we can crack this big ass mystery and help some people out there.
THEIR - This is a possessive term referring to THEY.  As in....THEIR car is red.
THERE - As dictionary describes this...In or at that place.  The pencil is there.
THEY'RE - Contraction of THEY and ARE...as in They're traveling to Australia tomorrow.
If an immigrant, ESL kid can comprehend this concept...why not people who have been born here and speak English as their (see how I used that in a sentence?) first language.  If in doubt and you are writing something you are about to post on internet...why not take the extra few seconds to go onto Dictionary.com website and double check what you are writing.  I understand that to some this might seem very trivial and not worthy of a whole blog entry but being a little better knowledgeable is never a bad thing. 

I'm falling asleep now as I write this, therefore I do believe it is time to get the hell off this thing and into my bed.

Weekend Festivities

WOW..
What a busy weekend!  Friday to Saturday I managed to stay up 21 hrs.  I honestly did not think I still had that in me.  Not only that but I ended up sleeping for only 4 hrs because we had to go up to Innisfil on Saturday so Daniel could do some work there for his family.  While going up Raquel and I were reminiscing about the fun trips to Wonderland we had as kids and all the rides we loved/hated there.  We also saw some old guy who had to compensate (we can all guess for what) with a Lamborghini.  While I sat and twirled my finger around my hair, Raquel was looking at his car, giving the poor man impression that we were paying attention to him.  He smiled probably what was his best smile at us, waved, and then proceded to speed up and pass us, most likely to impress us with his "awesome" car.  Raquel and I had a good laugh over that one.  It is a bit sad when people try to impress others, with their more expensive than average cars.  Especially men.  Mind you, I guess it works on some girls hence them doing it. 
After arriving at Innisfil, Raquel and I proceeded to play games with the kids outside.  I forgot how much fun it is to be a kid.  The games of 4 squares, 21, Poison etc. were a little too much fun for us :)  I think you loose sight of these things when you grow up.  The fun you can have if you're just willing to let go a bit and have a bit more energy than usual. 
Once we made it home, I basically passed out.  I had to be ready for a whole day of MOTHER'S DAY!  I do enjoy these holidays because it is fun to spend it with family (only if you like spending time with them and also if you like THEM!).  I love my moms and appreciate everything they have done for me.  I am lucky to have had a wonderful mother all my life who taught me soooo much in my life.  Now I am even more lucky to find a wonderful mother-in-law :) 
Today was really awesome.  I slept in, excercised, relaxed, played piano, and chilled with hubby and mom.  What more could I ask for?   I guess I should go to sleep now since I have to wake up in 5 short hours so I can go to my piano lesson.

Energizer Bunny

Oh my...
What a busy day I had.  It started at 6:00 am with the alarm going off...but who was I kidding?  I was NOT getting up that early.  I had to get up at 6:30 am though because I had a piano lesson to go to.  After that I went over to my work to gather my AVON (sooo excited.  I got 2 pairs of shoes that I love) and my trusty date book that I have forgotten.  Then I proceeded to go home and write out my work bridal shower thank you cards.  After I have finished that, I went to pick up Gabby who was kind enough to skip school to do my sister's prom make up.  When we came back, my sister had her make up done by Gabby who was nothing short of AMAZING!!! I think that girl has a bright future in make up application industry.  Once Gabby was done her make up, we dumped my sister's friend onto her capable hands.  While she was doing that I was busy doing my sister's hair.  Let me tell you, that was a scary procedure.  I did tell her that since it was her prom, she had the right to be as picky as she wanted to be.  I am happy to report that she was a fantastic customer.  Once we finished her hair and make up, she got dressed into her beautiful prom dress and then we were ready to go to her friend's house for pictures in Enniskillen.

Yeah, I'm awesome

Finishing touches



Isn't she beautiful!

   Well now being 1:37 am and me still having to fold up laundry and take a shower so I can get up tomorrow at 7, I will say good night to this one exhausting day!

Isn’t it cute?   Here’s what I did with her hair.

I am extremely happy to save a dollar here and there whenever I can and if that means me using my mad art skills to do it..even better.  I discovered that I don’t need to go to get a pedicure, spend 4o-50 dollars, have it chip on me and be extremely mad anymore.  I can do it all by myself.  I have acquired a healthy amount of nailpolish and also taught myself how to do little “designs” on my toes as well if I shall feel like it…which for the most part, I do. 

 I also discovered that I can do something good for somebody using my handywork.  My friend from work suffers from Endometriosis.  She has been off from work for the past while and suffering with this condition for the past 10 years.  She has been quietly battling this without letting on how much in pain she really is in.  She needs a cute-toes-pick-me-up and I am there to deliver :)  Get ready Kate!!
I also do a little bit of mural painting so my artsy side gets to paint on a huge canvas!  This will be my third mural and hopefully Kristin will end up loving it…and her adorable daughter as well.  How much I miss painting, drawing and my art in general!  One becomes so busy with Life in general that certain things get pushed aside and every so often talked about.  My goal is to finish this mural and hopefully I can get some work doing this on the side.  Not only because extra cash would be nice but also because I LOVE doing this for people.



 As you can see it is not finished yet but stay tuned and I will post some pics once it is done.   Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed painting them.

Kind of an addiction



What is it?  Awesome that's what...

Originally posted May 1st 2011

…and by kind of I mean it is an absolute form of addiction.  I don’t mean buying shoes or makeup, clothes, going on drinking binges or doing hardcore drugs.  I mean surrounding oneself with books.  Innocent enough you say but sometimes I wonder… if you unleashed me on the world of books, money or space not being an object, would I turn into a hoarder?  Chapter website is my fix when I need one.  I go onto it to search for the possible new books that I WILL read in the future.  The store itself is one of my most favourite stores out there…mind you that goes for any bookstore.  I could spend a lot of my free time just roaming the many shelves of the store in search of that book that is calling my name (which is every other one).  To add to this I also work in a library.  If you’re asking yourself if this is helping me any than the answer is no.  On a regular basis I have more books out on my card than I can read.  I DO read books and if given the time I can read one pretty quickly.  I also have cards from libraries in two neighbouring cities :D.  All this be as it may, I love my addiction (says every addict out there).  I can say, however, that my addiction is not as harmful as others out there.  Even though I could go on shopping sprees in bookstores I curb my spending to my means.  Like I said before, if I just need a fix, I go to the Chapters’ website.   That being said I got to read some amazing stories, learn about some fantastic lives and learn a thing or two.   Currently I’m into Biographies and Teen books.  I just have finished reading the life story of Cherie Currie from the Runaways.  The book’s title is “Neon Angel: story of a runaway”.  It is amazing what you learn about human perseverance and spirit.  AMAZING BOOK…read it!

Now I am reading Generation Dead.  This one being a teen book which deals with that favourite subject of zombies.  Not just any regular zombie but high functioning, do not eat brains, teen zombie.  Sounds hokey to some but believe you me when I say it is actually quite interesting.  Well…with this said, I am going back to work. (Yes I am at work on my lunch break :)).

Tuesday morning starts at 5:30 am.  Morning routine starts off with a visit to the bathroom where regular bathroom things happen.  After that I grab my purse and a kiss from my husband and head to the kitchen for tea.  Once that is in order I head on out to my piano lesson.  After the lesson is done I head on out to work.  Today however I got to do something really wonderful.  I drove back home where I am enjoying the rest of the day on my comfy couch, under a blankie, watching movies and of course blogging.  There are so many things I should be doing right now and the list is growing with every day, however, I plan on doing none of them.  Maybe I’ll take a bath, or take a nap either way I plan on having a wonderful Tuesday by doing as little as possible.  I think I deserve that and that is my gift to myself :D  So…let the tuesday wonderment commence.  Time for another movie.

I love the songs that make me want to just jump up and start dancing all over the place.  The worst thing is when it is at work or in a car because I kind of look like a sped jumping in place like I do.  Right now I’m listening to Chris Brown’s Yeah x3…and it is fan-ta-bu-lous!  I can’t stop bouncing in my chair.  Another ditty that makes my pulse skip a beat and groove is Tiesto ft Nelly Furtado’s Who wants to be alone.  I just can’t help but sing along to it.  Right now this doesn’t pose any threat or harm to anybody since it is winter and when I sing no one can hear me….but during summer I take no responsibility of how loud I’ll sing and to fellow drivers, i apologize.

Mind soothing days

I love chilling.  Right now it’s an awesome time because the christmas tree is lit and it’s cold outside but it’s nice and toasty inside.  I love sitting and watching movies. especially with my hubby.  Right now it’s an oldie but a goodie.  Terminator 2.  Does anybody remember the movie Critters?  I bought that movie for 5 dolla and I’m trying to determine if it was worth it lol I haven’t seen it yet and the last time that I have was when I was still in poland lol.  Loooong time.  I guess I’m trying to relive some childhood memories.  If that’s the case I must buy Gremlins.  Movies of old times…aaaah nothing like it.  Peace out.

Pereira out

There goes that

So I was supposed to stop Facebooking because it has become such an important part in people’s lives…and yet here I am still….facebooking.  My excuse is that I wanted to see everyone’s photo’s from my wedding and hence…me still on facebook.  Is it possible to quit from it…absolutely.  Am I going to do it now?…maybe not.  Right now I entered into this whole big family and I enjoy keeping in touch with them through fb.  I think it’s laziness more than anything because quitting fb would mean me sitting on the computer for a bit saving all my pics and such…and I have better things to do than sit infront of a computer screen for hours on end…I do enough of that at work.

I have decided, in my infinite wisdom (whatever I have of it anyways), that I shall no longer participate in the ever popular cultural phenomena that is, and probably shall be for very long time, facebook.  I have decided that I will post my pictures on here and if anyone cares to share with me they can do so by talking to me via email.  I am not going totally into the cavemen days but I decided that if we survived without facebook before, we can certainly do it again.  So here it is…my little countdown.

t-4months….facebook no more.

Gotta love him

So, I’m sitting here…and reminiscing, and depending on what your life was like in the past, that could be a good thing or bad.  Mine is good with a little bit of guilt built in lol.  Going back to the days of being a biatch and feeling guilty about it…like how I yelled at my little sister for just trying to look like her older sister, me. (How is that a bad thing lol)  Or making my mom utter the words "I’m dissapointed" or getting into catfights with my older sister.  I blame the teen years :oP  We do some messed up things during our teen years and thank God that there’s people out there who love us no matter what.  Now some do more effed up things than others and some things are not easily forgiven. Luckily I wasn’t that bad.  All in all…

oops and sorry

You feel sorry for yourself, mope, cry, write in blogs, drive the person who loves you and is always there for you crazy… and then you hear your friends stories and you go aaaaahhh there’s someone else with effed up family….aaaaaaaalllright….giddidy…giddidy

So…I think I’m going to come up with a little list of things …and eventually add things as they come up.

 

1.  I hate fake people…If you hate, dislike me…think I stink…just come out and say so.  You don’t need to sugarcoat anything.

2.  I love my family.  They mean a lot to me.  Blood is thicker than water……

3. I hate feeling sick.  I hate having my throat hurt, or my stomach. 

4.  I like the beach.  The sand, the waves…and frankly..I wanna learn how to surf.  Beach…yupp…that’s the life for me.

5.  I hate ignorance. Educate yourself people…

6.  I like my fuzzy blanket.

7.  I hate egotistical people. You are just a tiny speck in the whole grand scheme of things…get the fuck over yourself.

8.  I love music…I love to draw to it, play it, fall asleep to it, listen to it when I’m sad, happy, or just because.  

9.  I hate lazy people.  There is no greater feeling then a feeling that you have achieved something because you worked hard for it.

10.  I love food…why deny yourself the goodness of food or waste it for that matter.

11.  I hate cruelty.  That pertains to cruelty of any form…whether it is cruelty against animals or human kind.  What sickness it is….

12.  I love art.  I like to look at it, appreciate it, and do it myself.

13.  I hate people who feel like they are above anyone.  Don’t look down upon me in any way shape or form because if I will stab you, you will bleed red blood just like me…

14.  I love my countries.  Poland for being awesome and Canada for giving me opportunities.  Very proud to be Polish and Canadian.

15.  I hate the darkness.  I don’t think I need to expand on that.

16.  I love to dance.  Dancing like no one is watching…just enjoying rhythm of whatever music you are listening to.

17.  I hate discrimination…whether it is discrimination against a persons race or lifestyle. 

18.  I love hugs and kisses.  I’m a very touchy-feely person and i think touch is an important way of communicating with another human being

19.  I hate stupidity.  I don’t know if there is anything that irritates me more. 

20.  I love to read.  It is one of my favourite things to do.

21.  I hate fighting with my family. 

22.  I love being in love

23.  I hate the craziness around any of the holidays.  I don’t see a point in lining up days ahead just so you can get your hands on a game that costs $500.00 so your kid can play it for a bit and then not really bother with it.

24.  I love Christmas for the time you will get to spend with your family and all the laughs you can have.

25.  I love laughing.  Feels so good.

26.  I love bubble baths…just the word itself, “bubbles” is pretty awesome and fun to say.

27.  I love sunshine.  Even laying down on green grass and feeling the sun on your skin.

28.  I love cuddles with my bubbi.

29.  I love my friends.

30.  I hate backstabbers. Don’t be jelaous of my awesomeness biatch.

31.  Mountain Man and his feral children….nough said.

32.  Child’s giggles. Can anything be more adorable?

33.  I love being married.  I don’t care how corny/cheezy this sounds but I love being a half of a whole.  It feels awesome to be married to your best friend (other than my wifey ;))

34.  I LOVE my front loaders.  Doing laundry has never been this fun :)

  ….that is all for right now…this shall continue

Oh Dear!!!

Holy shiza!! Europe…AMAZING!!  There are no words or pictures that can describe how fricken unbelievable Europe is.  Paris is a place that everyone should go and visit.  I’m pretty sure that people who live there could care less about it but for someone who wants to go and visit it, its definitely worth it.  One thing that was just awful (even though I was part of the problem) was the amount of tourists milling around everywhere.  Instead of having an amazing experiance in places like Notre Dame, Louvre and Sacre Coeur, it sometimes became a drag to be amongst the travelling kind.  DAMN FOREIGNERS….I mean how many times can a lady tell you to put your damn camera away bc there is no filming the MONA LISA.  JEEZ!!  I have to tell you that even though there were these tiny glitches…it was still worth it.  I wish though that I saw more of Louvre instead of getting lost, missing important exits, and seeing Venus DeMilo 5 times.  One cannot forget the good ol’ things about Paris.  The picnics at the banks of Seine river, The street performers, the crepes, the dancing to the drums in front of the Eiffel Tower, the singing to the tunes of Bob Marley and such at the steps in front of Sacre Coeur, the PDA’S all over the place, the BLINKA BLINKA’S!!  Aaaah The only thing that I wish was a tad different is the people at the airports…I just have a few words to all you.  If you hate your jobs so much…than GET A DIFFERENT JOB!! Holy shit…I cannot stress that enough.  Getting your luggage late is NOT COOL!!Poland…well that was a blast from the past. (just to b corny)  I saw all the things that were familiar to me and those that I long have forgotten.  My family was awesome and I can’t thank them enough for being so kind to me and Lucia.  I have to tell you though that one can get a serious stomach problem there due to being overstuffed with delicious food.  It got to the point that when I asked Lucia if she was hungry…she simply said "no…but I’m eating anyways right?"  Warszawa was superb…that is up until we got into our hostel…DUMPVILLE.  That place was stanky, pealing, broken down SHITHOLE. Word of advice…if you are planning on going there…please use more expansive hostels or even hotels. Spring for something that isn’t going to keep you up all night because you are afraid to lay down on the mysteriously stained bed.  OTHER than that….it was amazing.  I love every bit of it and I am definitely going back.  For those who are my friends…you will see my pictures eventually. AND those who just look at my Lair…you will see them as soon as I am able to post them onto this site.  well…I won’t bore you anymore with these trivial things

That is all for now

Here comes Paris!!!

Did you ever get a chance to go up north and swim at dusk in a lake? If not..I strongly recomend it.  It was a very nice time to be floating and looking up at the stars. I know this sounds like some vomitus, but if you have a problem, and I quote Geoff here, "Shut up, its my blog".  Another thing that I think you must know is that going on path after there has been a major storm is never a good idea.  Trying to get through all those fallen down trees, as exciting and adventurous as it is, is a little hard….especially if you are not prepared and you are wearing flip flops.BUT other than that my camping trip this past weekend has been wicked cool.

Alright…so its 3 days and I got my stuff all purchased…now I just have to pack. I am Tres eXcited! 

Viva le Pinaple!!!

I am having a fantastic time with my cousin Kasia.  I am really glad that she was able to come down.  It’s funny how you don’t see someone for 14 years and then you get together and it’s like you were never apart to begin with.  Yesterday we went to the beach for a while but unfortunately we got rained out.  We both agree on our love for the beach life. I actually got a little bit of a tan, even though we were there for approx. 15 mins or so.

I wish she could stay for a bit longer..but c’est la vie.

  How excited am I now for my trip to France and Poland you ask? TRES excited….that is all for now. You will b bored by such things after I come back. hehehe. 

 We got new computers at work…I HAVE SOOO MUCH SPACE NOW!! I am tres excited by this news too. 

ANYWHO..gotta get back to slave work…hehehe…its funny cause its such a lie

So close I can taste it!

hey hey!!!

 

So its only 16 days until my trip..or something like that. We have our hostel booked in Paris and Warszawa as well.  http://www.hostelz.com/hostel/65-Fauconnier That’s our hostel in Paris. http://www.dizzydaisy.pl/index.php?action=host&hostel=warszawa&lang=eng and that one is in Warszawa.. as you probably could guess. Its really getting there.  I have to go shopping for a few things.  I can’t wait.

 

Anywho…

My cousin came down from Poland.  I haven’t seen her in 14 years.  I think she is a pretty cool chick. AND NO!! I am not introducing her to any of you male friends…sorry.  It is fun to talk about our family and how "special" they are.  Hopefully my cousin and I will get a chance to go camping or something like that since both her and I looooove the beach.

 

For those who love to read I suggest " A Year in the Merde".  It is a pretty funny book. AND for u Geoff…they make fun of the French..so I think you would find it interesting.

 

Dowidzenia for right now..

I don’t even know if I spelled that right but WHO CARES!!! It’s official now.  Lucia and I are going to Europe!!! I am sooo psyched…and I owe it all to my dear friend LouLou!  Love ya muchly.  I will definitely have a lot to write about once I am back from there.  Not only will I have TONS of pictures but lucia and I will have some home videos to show as well. NO…not the Paris-Hilton-type-of-a-video. 

On May 13th it became official and I became the proud Godmother of my little baby boy Mateo Alexander. Such a precious little boy.  I can’t wait until I can take him places.  That’s right Leah!!!

I know this topic might be weary on some but I will be blabbing about it up until I leave…and then I will tell everyone how super-fantastic europe is and then I WILL shut up.  That’s a promise. 

There are, however, a lot more places that I would like to see sooo…..if there are any volunteers just let me know. We shall have much fun traveling.  AND THEN i shall be yapping about that.

 

Well…I might as well enjoy some of my lunch…whatever is left of it anyways.

 

Talk soon

The europe trip seems a go.  I think we are going to fly into England and then work our way through France and Germany to Poland.  I can’t wait.  I promise that after that vacay I will definitely have this page something worth looking at.

 

Anywho…I think I should do some of this work stuff I heard so much about.

 

Later

This is my rant for today…

Goodbye Wordpress...Hellloooooo Blogger! :)

So here it is.  My "New" blog.  I got tired of wordpress stifling my creativity :(.  I am happy to report I will transport all my blogs (although I hardly think many would be crushed if I didn't since I kept this blog thing under wraps).  I am super excited because so far blogger, blogpost, whatchyamacallit, has treated me far superior to wordpress.  Hopefully it will all work out :)
